MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm Leaving Atheism
First off, don't freak out! Remember, I'm a satirist.
This early in the month treat is a result of my obsessive brain, which wouldn't rest after writing this piece. I knew it would require a tremendous amount of rehearsal. And then once I'd started that process, my stupid brain wouldn't stop replaying the script over and over again in my head — regardless of what I was doing. Had I not shot this early in the month, I would have gone absolutely mad by the 23rd — at the latest!
This was the longest shoot of any single production piece ever on my channel — ten plus hours. And I must tell you that, by the end of the day, I hated myself for ever writing this piece of Chopraesque, tongue-twisting nonsense. I'm hoping your enjoyment will ultimately pay off for me.
I wrote the piece because I've gotten back into philosophy in the last couple years. I've had to as Christian apologetics has pulled heavily in that direction over the course of the last decade. I'll be talking more about this development in another video I plan to post at the end of the month. Put briefly, you've never seen a group of people working so hard, and with so much desperation, to make their God apparent. Reformed Epistemology and the "Digital Physics" argument for God's existence finally sent me over the edge. Thus, my "announcement."
More broadly, and with regard to the comedic element, this piece is an homage to an hysterical production done all the way back in the late '90s introducing the "retro encabulator," a new product from Rockwell International's software division. There's a sweetness in that for me as my ex-father worked for Rockwell International for 38 years, having a role in the Gemini, Apollo, Space Shuttle, and GPS programs. If you haven't seen the original piece, here's the link... https://youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0w
Thanks so much gang, for making something like this possible. I'm praying to all the gods I don't believe in that you'll all enjoy this production thoroughly. If not, I have a cyanide capsule at the ready. You'll understand why in the next five minutes. I hope you're all doing well. The rest of this month's videos will post on the 31st as usual, so stay tuned (and tubed). You're all my very best friends. Call me! B

You will love Stanislaw Lem's "A Perfect Vacuum" (if you haven't read it already).
I was waiting for a reference to the simile of the underlying metaphor. Well done.
At "David Lee Roth" I was already out of the game 🤣 Come on, I am German... gimme a break! Very funny, Bribri. Make a Rap song out of this!
Experimenting with AI now?
LOL!!!
OMG, glossolalia!
Oh, Bri-Bri, not all philosophers have left the planet on the Obfuscation Train. I can recommend to you a book by a professional philosopher, Nicholas Everitt, with the title "The Non-existence of God." He basically went through all of the philosophical arguments for the existence of gods or goddesses and found them all wanting.
Of course not. I love Graham Oppy, Joe Schmid and Stephen Law among others. But the Christian philosophers and apologists have absolutely lost their minds!
It is with great glee that I note that these intellectual giants used "it's" in the title when the possessive for of it is "its." Brilliant, just brilliant!
LOL! So true, so true. Elvis might have left the stadium, but these philosophers have left the planet.
Well, that is some excellent material that even Deepak Chopra has not considered.
Ah… 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣! Mr. Decabulator, you've become Low Bar Bill! A perfect summary of the deep, deep, deep… pile… of religious argumentation. Dunno how you didn't end up with a forked tongue chewing on such a huge word salad. Nice touch to stand next to the bookshelf! As an EV advocate, I learned several years ago that the auto industry and fossil fools also hire deep, deep, deep thinkers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4 Well, all I can say is that it's a good start, but… https://quintessentialruminations.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/gibberish2.jpg?w=660
Well done. I understood it as well as I understand the apologist :-) And now I can translate all those adults in the Charlie Brown/Snoopy films ;-)
I don't believe I have ever heard a better example of polysyllabic jargonistic pontification before. Well done!!
So, basically, not encabulator or deity? I'm sold.
I think you may have not taken into consideration the possibility of the gargolian cocoflex with the application of eschatology in a world of people moved by strange, conflicted, poorly comprehended, and, above all, devious motivations which commit them inevitably to conflict and failure. And continue to emphasize a fundamentally pessimistic, fatalistic, and depressive view of the world and feeling deeply that all human effort is foredoomed to failure. Discomposed emotional dyslexics, regrettable given that its such a gaseous bumful of reactionary nonsense, that sacrifice pleasures to achieve some kind of supposed immortality. Maybe?
Well done!!!
I watched the Rockwell video and while I was worried about the Dingle Arm, at least they used the draw reciprocator type, which was state of the art at the time. I can breathe a sigh of relief.
LOL!!!
Great job Brian capturing the verbal gibberish of the religious signifying bubkes
Never has word salad been so delicious! “Please sir, I want some more?“
I think I got my money's worth on this one!
And then some... trust me!
Oh my, the fecal matter is going to collide with the oscillating ventilator! 🤣🤣🤣
How the hell did you manage to keep a (relatively) straight face?! I had to keep backing it up because my laughter drowned out some choice wordifications! 😂😂😂 Great work!
Straight face wasn't the problem. Speaking absolute nonsense and made up words is what nearly killed me.
Well done, the original turbo-encabulator video has been a favorite of mine for many decades! As a physicist WTF is digital physics and how does it prove a diety-encabulator exists?
The digital physics argument says that our universe is a simulation in God's mind. Ugh!!!
I like your new haircut! 😎
Same haircut. Just a good hair day. But thanks!
Wow! I'm an academic at a large university who is used to hearing academic and corporate buzzwords, but that video practically broke my brain. Maybe you need a trigger warning on it: DANGER. Listening too closely to this video may trigger buzzword seizures.
Forgive me, for I know not what I do.
Bravo, Brian! You’ve captured their gibberish beautifully. (I can also see Jordan Peterson stroking his chin, thinking ‘Yeah, that makes total sense…)
Wouldn’t be surprised if we start hearing Peterson start copying this amazing material. After all, it’s not like he’s come up with anything original, right?
After brainificating your videostoic episodiole, I need to liefitrioc downishatrium. Goodly luckumology on your departuriostomy from Atheism!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! You made me LOL! Thanks!!!
