It’s 12:53am.
The weight of my own choices is becoming unbearable.
But I don’t want to sit with that right now, so I’m going to ramble for a bit.
I fell down a rabbit hole earlier. It started with how humans evolved from water, which has been proven, and somehow led to the idea that everything is just a different density of water.
What is water?
I’ve always known it as H₂O: two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. But the video went further. It talked about oceans beneath oceans, about NASA announcing the discovery of a literal ocean under our ocean. It went on to suggest that we, as humans on land, are essentially breathing our version of water. That what we call “air” might just be another state of it.
According to him, the further you go up into what we know as space, the more it resembles water too – just not as we understand it.
He showed images, clips, text. Everything.
The video was almost two hours long, and I watched the entire thing in one sitting.
And annoyingly… it made sense.
It really started clicking.
At first, I assumed it was propaganda. But then again, I also know that a lot of what I was taught to be fact growing up was a lie. There are plenty of things I’ve spent most of my adult life unlearning and reprogramming.
My perception isn’t as skewed as it used to be. I did that work myself.
What’s interesting is that this wasn’t a popular creator. It was one of those niche accounts. The video had maybe a hundred views. I still don’t know how it found me or how I found it…
It just did.
I’d sound like a bumbling fool if I tried to explain it the way he did. I really need to expand my vocabulary so I can express these thoughts with more precision.
Such a shame.
Funny how the tables turn, though because here I am, believing something I saw online… just like my damn parents.
