User blog:Polyhedron69/Void Viper Analysis

When I was 13... 13 years old, I saw for the first time in my life... I saw an image of clarity. I saw a series... a 14 episode series that, though simple as it seemed, changed me... changed my being, changed who I am... Made me who I am...

Enlightened me...

The series, Isolated Europe, the series was new... no more than maybe a month and a half since inception, since... since coming into existence... and there it was before me on Youtube, I saw it... a work of art... What was it called?

Isolated Europe.

The story appears simple upon first viewing, Europe Isolated from the rest of the world...

Simple? Yes I thought so too upon first observation of it, however I understand now that what I saw, what I physically saw...changed my perception of what I thought was normal...

The series itself is only but one of his many works that enlightens oneself upon viewing them all...

Most of his viewers do not see what I perceive... Or is it reality?

Put it all together, this channel is everything... everything there is too know in life...

But how? How can something seemingly simple be this complex?

When I first viewed it... I was young... I did not have all the answers I knew I needed in life...

Lets take a step back...lets view this and discuss this from all sides and perspectives...

I had recently gotten back into the mapping community... I then of course began checking out various creators within it...

Void Viper...was a name that stuck out than most mappers...

His name seemed...divine...No we will get back to that later...

His content was very popular...his audience loved his work...

However I understand now...they only liked it on a surface level...

Everything in his works had a deeper meaning...it just was not easy to see it...

Until he gave us his most perfected work of art...yes...

Isolated Europe...

How can a mere moral make this?

The story is so compelling and is a flawless execution...a spirtual element at work? Divine intervention?

Something told me this was the truth... This is what the world was waiting for years...

Its so wonderfully crafted that... Now I've done this multiple times...

Take the thumbnail and copy it onto anything... Even non mapping content you can put it on that video...or take an instance of the episode and project it... even if you distort it...you can still understand it

No doubt in my mind Void Viper is a smart man...he is remarkable... someone you read about in philosophy...

Its simple yet so complex...

I understand I haven't told you why this masterpiece is what I know it is...

Its because I need you to understand that this is something I won't throwaway... This changed me... I need to respect it in every inch that is provides us...

Its truly a testament to the work that I can view it and praise it differently every time...

The Episodes follow a story... A story of Europe isolated from the rest of the world...

Upon further thinking into the theme...you feel alone...

Europe is nothing more than symbolism...yes...words and imagery at play...

Europe being isolated means so much more than being simply isolated...how can one discover this?

You just direct the piece... Take it apart and examine every "useless" and important part of it...

I began reading the poems of Emily Dickinson... The parallels could not be more apparent...

Emily throughout her life was alone...kept into her household...

Isolated she was...

But how can Void know about this? Surely he did not read her work...or better phrasing did not think of her work...amongst thousands of other works of inspiration...

It must be convergent...as shown in some evolutionary examples...

I feel Void Viper must of been isolated throughout his life at some point... This is only speculation...but this is exciting stuff...

No matter the origins do not matter...because we have the art here with us now...

I've cried over this piece over and over... I've told people about this...they are blind or static I suppose, they don't see eye to eye with me...I was like them once... I too was blind of the world until I saw this masterpiece! This free form of art to be viewed at any time!

So what have stated so far?

The feeling of being alone...this is more prevalent nowadays...teens feeling lonely and this leads to suicide in some cases...

Suicide being important in his future work Assimilated Europe...

So Void Viper is clearly trying to give us a view point about aspects of life...

Next few episodes we see turmoil break out in Europe...

The nations go to war...just as we feud and argue with friends or strangers...truly a dark an empty world...

This is not a coincidence... It is all perfectly crafted... It gives an illustration of a cruel and unforgiving world...

Yes maybe Void Viper is chaos...

We see this no better in his character "Triton"

Yes... It is a character of Void Viper himself...

Void Viper expresses his discontent...his real understanding of what some would call something beautiful...this of course being life...

He presents us a scenario...your isolated... no escape... No Hope

As the scenario continues... We see a real depiction of life...something nineteenth century writers did not invision... Many Romantiscm works are nothing like this...

Void Vipers writing is akin to writer Ezra Pound and many other writers of Symbolism...

Voids world is violently rearanged to fit what he sees... His chaotic invision for us all...

We see floods...murder...missing people...yes chaos in its most percieved form...then in the end...a great storm... One Ten times as worse than Katrina my father witnessed...

Its eerie...is if Void will do this to you... Put you in a small space and alone... Madness slowly consuming your sense of thought... Your neurons distorting as you slowly become nothing more than a husk of what humanity once was in you... Or are you becoming humanity?

Are we nothing more than suppressed forms of real humans? Trying to hide our anger...is anger what makes a human real?

I'm slowly losing myself just wondering about this... Its haunting... and this only came to me just now as I write this...I feel chills all around me as if I'm being watched...

However Void can be viewed as a pure entity... Maybe the storm shouldn't be viewed as evil and maybe more akin to the great flood in the tales of the Torah and Bible in the times of Noah...

Maybe it was needed... To get rid of humanities inpurity...

Maybe the isolation of Europe is to represent each person and there reaction... A test!

Some will remain peaceful, others will act, and some of those acting will do horrible things...

No matter what we do...we will not learn from out mistakes... That old saying "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it" comes all so real in this...

In the end we see the complete destruction of Europe from this mysterious force...however it became clear to what this storm really was in its deeper meaning...

It represents a Ying and Yang... Chaos and Purity... Both opposites but yet both carry a piece within them...

Chaos will destroy the land and yet peace is brought afterwards...

There's more here...

This emphasizes life...how life will one day end... more on this later...

Are you starting to see the layers of this work?

This is remarkable truly...smart social commentary, yet its so beautiful and gets and imprint onto you...

Is Void trying to tell us something?

I believe he is telling us to live life to the fullest... Be pure at heart and chaotic with your mind...

Our mnd is nothing more than thoughts...we sometimes may invision doing something that me seem radical to a societal view...

Sometimes we do these things...yet our pure heart allows us to feel... Allows us to feel love, sympathy, and so many other wonderful and thought provoking emotions that are cherished...

So whats all this mean? Why is Void Viper presenting us these philosophical and turmoil thoughts?

Its because we are distracted... We are always distracted from digging deeper into things... We are baby fed most of the time...

Has lead nothing to the imagination...they want us to buy something that we may or not need... Or that we may or may not want...

Void Viper is aware of this...in his mappercast podcasts we here this man speak...here him speak to us...then just as we get interested in his word...we are interrupted by a sponsorship...

We are then interrupted from learning knowledge... Knowledge that should be free and viewed at anytime...

I'm not the only one who sees this...how something is trying to stop us...

Void did not want this...he was interrupted... He was powerless... We could not see it but we feel it...

Its like your mind is being controlled by actions and emotions you don't understand... Feeling dizzy or faint?

John Carpenters "They Live" was the 2nd time I was enlightened...

This film shows us we are so swayed with simple advertisements... We somehow feel compelled to obey them... And what the news tells us and what the higher ups in society tell us...

Books, magazines, newspapers, Television Shows, roads... Everywhere you see this reminder... Your reminded to be fragile and obey, consume, and reproduce just as what the higher ups tell you...

This is why people do not view Void Viper like I do... They are blind... They have been taught to not question things in greater detail... They live a fast paced life...

Void is forced to hide these meanings just as in they live... The movie gives us the sunglasses as a metaphor to waking up and seeing the world as it has become... What we've destroyed... What must be washed away...

It comes full circle to what I talked about earlier...

My advice to you is... Question answers... Do not be normal... and View Things from every Perspective...

I've known the truth for years now... Its haunting how so many are blind... Even when I give them the light, they refuse and rebuke me...

Am I a galaxy in a dead universe? Am I...isolated?

Of course a new meaning to isolated Europe, there are possibly more layers to this... this is beauty I talked about before in his work, there is so much to discover right in front of you...

My life really began after my viewing of Void Viper...

It may me appreciate life...appreciate the non infected parts of society...it was meant to be

Void Viper, His Works, John Carpenter... It was all meant to be...then afterwards it all melted away as I formed my own identity...

I then began to form my own philosophies and logical thinking, while never deterring what was first presented with me...

I discovered so much in that time... Science, Trancedentalism, Religion...

All of this was looked at in a real way...my eyes are viewing knowledge...then I think...I think why? And how?

Then I learn...I learn because of me...I'm independent now

Age is nothing as long as your aware...aware of who you really are...

Void Viper also knows who he is... He is an artist...

However his audience is yet so blind to what he provides... Void is no saint, he gets angry...sad...and happy just like you and I...

And yet he feels much more...comedy and tradegy both combine equally in his works... And right in front of us the whole time... The true meaning of life?

A question as old as time... What is purpose?

Its so simple...I've been telling about it for some time now...

Its what you perceive it as...

Its what you want to make out of life...

It is just as I have said before, many are blind by society...limited by time...school...and advertisements...

Many will shove Void off with no reaction... But I recommend just viewing his work for... At least one hour...

One hour is just all I ask...a simple one hour of your years of existence...

Don't be afraid...

Then begin to view things differently... Your parents are living people... Your hand...look at it, it moves because you control it... Yes if you can control the hand... you can control your thoughts...

Study all things...things perceived as evil...things perceived as good... All these things view with a neutral outlook...

Then you truly form yourself...whether society thinks its bad or good means nothing... You are free, you have your own perception of things...

Perception is Reality and Reality is Perception ... You are unique, you out of the billions that live and the billions that lived before... You are different... You are the sole you... Nowhere else in the universe will you find anything unique as yourself...

How can anyone be the same? We are full of thoughts,feelings, and ideas...

We all have it, its just limitations need to be casted away...

We all have the chance to be unique from others while retaining those old values but implementing them to our liking...

We are all instances of life...and life has no real meaning but what we perceive it... This doesn't make it useless, as life is based on what we think...that's the true meaning...

Void Vipers epistemological approach tells us something about the human condition...

His work is quite literally, centered around his thought... Centered around what he now understands of life, the world, and the universe they every second is around us...

This is his reality, this is where cognition, and the power and function of the mind take over...

As Plato believed, the body is just a shell for Void Viper...

Yes, he can use his physical body to eat, drink, and feel pain, but these inputs of touch, sight, hearing, et cetera, these senses are the triggers of the mind, as we see here, the mind... is something greater. It is the originator of ideas, and ideas are forever...

They are immortal...

Immortality through thought, is a major theme in literature and philosophy...

and isn't that what Void Viper himself has achieved?

Will he live forever?

The universe will continue to spread, and spread outward, and... entropy will turn a chaotic infinity into a homogenous, controlled system. This will take billions of years, and in that time, humans will push technology to heights we can't imagine. We'll explore and inhabit space, and occupy more and more of the universe, just as time allowed our ancestors to... multiply in numbers, and populate more and more of the Earth...

and as the specific people come and go, their physical bodies will be born, and grow, and die... but their thoughts will remain... and Void Viper and his works are recorded ideas of his, that will still be here...archived for eternity...

Even when the Earth is no longer inhabitable, and humanity has long since moved away to bigger planets, they'll carry with them a record, a record we all keep...

Mark my words... and look at what we've started, what is... What is the internet? What is the online world, if not a record? Never ending feed of ideas, immortal ideas... forever placed in the ether of dualism.

What is an idea?

Where does it live?

How does it manifest itself?

Can it outlive its origin, can it be immortal?

Love, hate, happiness, sadness, content, pride, and joy...all these things started as thoughts by those long passed... yet those long passed influence us...

People from every era...

Those poor or rich...

Every single person no matter of status has left us an impact...

That old cliché rings true for ideas, they've taken on a life of their own... and life may not be what we think. Life brings to mind a beating heart, breathing lungs, blinking eyes...

but the real life is in our imaginations... and who better embodies the definition of imagination if not a simple man... a Youtuber, who puts his ideas on video so that they may live on, so that our children, and our children's children, and their children's children's children can access the wealth of ideas that have accumulated thus far...

All of our thoughts, whether they are remembered or forgotten will have an impact...

Our descendents... What will they do?

They will plug themselves into an information grid, and they will have access... They will read every bit of literature, every argument, every art, and so much more...

80,000 years from now, a child will see a simple Isolated Europe...

And what then? 80,000 years from now?

The child watching this video will smile... and that smile will transcend space and time and the physical limitations of this existence, whatever they may be, however many dimensions exist or don't exist...

There will always be our works and so much more

There will also be Isolated Europe and there will always be its creator...

Void Viper.
