DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO. I'm serious. This
message isn't a hack (I'm the guy in the
video), and it's not a ploy to get you to
actually watch it (reverse psychology).
It's just that there's a hole in this
argument big enough to drive a Hummer through
because of an assumption I didn't realize I
had (isn't that just the way with
assumptions. . .), and the argument has been
UPDATED to address that hole.
So instead of watching this old, tired,
hole-y video, go watch the NEW, IMPROVED
version at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg
It's called "How It All Ends," and is backed
up by literally HOURS of "Expansion Pack"
videos, answering every single criticism,
objection, "What If," "How About," and "You
Missed a Spot," that I came across in reading
the 7000+ comments (most of them critical) on
various websites about the argument presented
in this "The Most Terrifying Video You'll
Ever See."
So please, DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO and then
make some comment about Pascal's Wager or how
this argument can be applied to any threat,
no matter how ridiculous. Those, and
literally EVERY OTHER OBJECTION I'VE EVER
HEARD are answered in the bruisingly thorough
series of videos backing up "How It All
Ends."
Even though I DON'T WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS
VIDEO, I'm not taking it down, because I'm
hoping it (and the comments attached) will
become a small piece of history, as a
precursor to the UNDENIABLE TOUR-DE-FORCE
ARGUMENT that is the "How It All Ends" video
project.
So DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO (have I made myself
clear?) I'm hoping that it dies a nice,
quite, peaceful death, fading into respected
irrelevance. Instead, go watch the new,
up-and-coming "How It All Ends" at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg
Once you get there--if you follow the index
to the other videos--I think you'll find that
I present an argument that you CANNOT poke a
hole in. I've spent literally hundreds of
hours discussing, researching, and refining
my arguments to ensure that.
And then, once you're convinced, do
everything you can to spread the
message--forward the video, leave comments,
nominate it for awards, agitate for YouTube
and others to feature it, mash it up, burn
DVDs and hand them out like candy--hell, even
record YOURSELF making the arguments, get
famous doing so, and make lots of money--I
don't care! Just get the ideas out there!
So go ahead. Watch "How It All Ends," and
its expansion pack videos, and try to poke a
hole in the argument. I dare you.
I DOUBLE-DOG dare you. (Ooooooo. . . .)
And if you can't, then you may find yourself
with a strong agitation to do something about
the potential threat. In my experience, the
only way to calm that agitation is to act on
it. I've got a video for that, too. ;-)
So go for it.
