| Since the dawn
of recorded history, |
00:00:40.573 - 00:00:42.564 |
| something like 110 billion human beings
have been born into this world. |
00:00:42.742 - 00:00:47.236 |
| And not a single one of them made it. |
00:00:48.448 - 00:00:50.780 |
| There are 6.8 billion people on the planet. |
00:00:51.951 - 00:00:54.749 |
| Roughly 60 million of them die
every year. 60 million people. |
00:00:54.988 - 00:00:59.288 |
| That comes out to about 160,000 per day. |
00:00:59.392 - 00:01:02.850 |
| I read this quote once when I was a kid, |
00:01:03.563 - 00:01:05.622 |
| "We live alone, we die alone.
Everything else is just an illusion. " |
00:01:05.732 - 00:01:10.169 |
| It used to keep me up at night. |
00:01:10.537 - 00:01:12.505 |
| We all die alone. |
00:01:13.306 - 00:01:15.137 |
| So, why am I supposed to spend my life
working, sweating, struggling? |
00:01:16.242 - 00:01:20.303 |
| For an illusion? |
00:01:20.647 - 00:01:21.636 |
| Because no amount of friends, |
00:01:23.083 - 00:01:24.607 |
| no girl, |
00:01:25.151 - 00:01:26.641 |
| no assignments
about conjugating the pluperfect |
00:01:26.886 - 00:01:29.650 |
| or determining the square root
of the hypotenuse |
00:01:29.756 - 00:01:32.589 |
| is gonna help me avoid my fate. |
00:01:32.692 - 00:01:34.592 |
| I have better things to do with my time. |
00:01:36.563 - 00:01:38.224 |
| I've got a cupboard with cans of food |
00:02:02.355 - 00:02:05.415 |
| Filtered water and pictures of you |
00:02:06.292 - 00:02:09.227 |
| And I'm not coming out until this is all over |
00:02:09.696 - 00:02:13.325 |
