Aight, let's add "eyeball cut" to the list of things I never want to see again

Everyone knows NASA paid Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing but his unchecked perfectionism lead him to film it on location on the moon.

"Learn to enjoy being wrong." Seriously, the best possible advice.

How does he always make the “love with your heart, use your head for everything else” line hit so hard. Every single time he manages to re-contextualize it and make it sound new again

I physically jumped during the eyeball cut.

This guy deserves his own Netflix show with 8 seasons and 2 spin-off shows

I love how the Captain made this as a PSA warning people not to be excessively, irrationally sceptical, but he's such a good storyteller that he accidentally got everyone invested in the lore.

Dude, this is fucking cinema. Honestly, I've seen worse scripts in fully funded movies, and the fact that there's zero filler in this and it transformed 7 minutes into what felt like a couple hours of information and education astounds me. Captain D puts so much effort into this website, and I borderline say that KZfaq doesn't deserve somebody this talented.

"It's obviously fake, it has to be because Alligator too big" _-Captain Disillusion, 2016_

The Zeitgeist's biggest lie was when he said Nasa was well funded.

Captain is actually a default cube but he edits himself into human shape.

You have to love his makeup, that represents the bleeding line between fiction and reality, becomes even more bleeding showing how his statements are breaking the line between fact and fiction.

"the all powerful and extremely well funded organization known as NASA" that's the best joke here

Slightly surprised Zeitgeist hasn't returned in nearly 4 years.

Are we just gonna gloss over how good that ending monologue was?

"And someone, even if they don't have our best interests in mind, was in control. Because if no one was in control, that would be terrifying." Simply an amazing line

"Because if no one was in control, that would be terrifying." "MOM COME PICK ME UP I'M SCARED"

This 2020 seems ideal for a rematch against Zeitgeist.

This is by far one of my favorite videos on KZfaq. It teaches people the mentality of people who believe in conspiracies big or small. The most impactful moment is when he says his normal catchphrase but with all the context of the video, it makes us understand that the first part "love with your heart." Has its own multiple of meanings like "Use your brain for everything else." It's to not put your heart into overthinking everything and to have sympathy for others so that your own selfish needs or thoughts don't get in eachother's way. One of the best messages a video could have.

Man, the Captain Disillusion lore is getting deeper

This episode holds up really well. This is quality stuff. You should be proud of this one, Alan.

This has got to be the best episode of Captain D, it gave me the actual chills when he says to love with your heart and use your head for everything else

"Not tonight Honey, I've got a Headache." Best delivery ever!

Dude, you deserve WAY more subscribers, this content is really high quality and super entertaining, keep up the fantastic work!!!

“Not tonight honey, I have a headache.” *proceeds to phase into the null realm*

This was my first time watching a Captain Dissolution video, what an introduction.

The little hand motion in "the zeitgeist tends to change" is so terrifying and evil, and it's amazing. I love this video SO much!

This should be required viewing for anyone who uses the internet.

The part before the real Captain Disillusion broke free, really touched my heart, no one wants to believe that innocent people died, I have family members that went through this, and it’s so hard to let go, but these tragedies are real, and we have to let go sometimes. ❤️

I think it's interesting he didn't just say "No u r stupid" He actually talks about why somebody might want to say these things are fake, and why you don't have to worry about that stuff

"Because if no one was in control, that would be terrifying" Holy fuck, that's something I've learnt the hard way when interacting with conspiracy theorists. The fact that the amount of evidence and logic sometimes doesn't matter and never will matter to them, because their belief in conspiracies is tied to their sense of security about the world They often don't understand the sciences or complex nuances behind the forces that shape major events in the world, whether that be a natural disaster or political, and they know that terrible things happen, but they don't understand why and how, even when given explanations. But conspiracies give them an answer they *do* understand, and that's a big part of not just why they believe in it, but cling to it, even in face of evidence to the contrary it gives them a sense of understanding and security about the world, and especially if it involves placing the blame of terrible world events on secret societies They act as a scapegoat to pin the blame of awful things on, and it helps add meaning to terrible actions that would otherwise happen just because they sometimes can't be stopped or understood It also makes them feel like they have some kind of forbidden knowledge, like an elite privvy to something that the average layman doesn't know and this gives them a sense of power, as well as assuring their anxieties about being ignorant to how the world works Conspiracies offer them an explanation where only they know the truth instead of being completely lost and confused about the world, and giving up that sense of truth to accept that we are lost and ignorant to many things about the world is terrifying to them, so they simply never will.

This is, by far, your greatest video I've ever seen. It hits the nail on the head. Thank you.

4:15 how dare you Captain, you left amateurly alpha composited artifacts on those red wall pieces! Now you must suffer forever, unable to change it! MUAHAHA!!!

- My name is Barry Allen and I'm the fastest man alive. - *[deep voice]* No. I am the fastest. - Who are you? - *[deep voice]* My name is ZEITGEIST. I'm your latest enemy and I'm here to make you a brainless zombie. _superfast music starts to play_ Seriously Zeitgeist is the best villain name ever.

"Learn to enjoy being wrong, the world might start making more sense" by CD, 2016 This is gold!

I really *REALLY* love the build up to 9/11. It felt very well handled with the hoax theories building up to a terrorist attack.

Reading these comments I think his point went right over people's head. This is easily his BEST video imo.

There were parts of this that almost made me tear up. So well said. Great video! I just discovered your channel yesterday and I've binged a ton so far. Don't know how I managed to miss it all this time but your content (and not just the content itself, but the way you view the world and express those views in subtle and really creative ways) is what sets you apart.

This is beyond eloquently written. I think it's of the utmost importance for people to understand that being so skeptical that you no longer believe anything, is just as dangerous and unwise as being gullible and accepting everything that you see as real. There is no room to grow or learn if your mind is already made up even before the information is presented to you. Thinking in extremes on this level will only limit every aspect of a person's life. Imagine the parallel of fully trusting every person you ever meet.Telling someone you hardly know all of your secrets and inner thoughts. Or having no trust for absolutely anyone, not even enough to tell a family member that you care or sympathize with them. It's the same concept, either way, you are really limiting and ultimately hurting yourself. I absolutely love this video and it's message. Thank you Captain, as well as your team for all of your hard work. PS~ The eyeball didn't bother me because I'm a Pixies fan and Un Chein Andalou is awesome. :)

"not tonight honey, I have a headache" oh my, that line killed me

Man look at that poorly composited rubble I bet he thought I'd never notice.

This video suddenly became more real to me this year with half the planet seeming to believe COVID doesn't exist, despite me knowing people who have suffered and died. Please, world, use your head. And if you won't do that, listen to the people who are.

Damn it Captain! Ever since you let Zeitgeist escape he's been busy online turning everybody into flat earthers!

Oh no, KZfaq tagged this with a 'btw moonlanding is real' tag because they don't understand this video was a gag.

0:54 I love how the lines which are supposed to follow the legs are all animated cartoonishly.

The best part about this story to me is humanizing and sympathizing for people that believe these things, that the root of it isn't trying to be evil or offensive, but often a deniyal that bad things can happen and chaos is possible. Who would want to believe what happened at Sandy Hook? It's such a horrifying thought. After all, it's the first stage of grief to deny, and that's okay. As much as I've tried to learn to enjoy being wrong, I'm trying my best to recognize when people have a good reason to disagree with me, even if it's clear they're beliefs aren't based in reality. You continue to be relevant Captain.

"If you look at the pixels you can tell that it looks all wired and stuff"-paranormal hunters

I DID NOT NEED THAT FUCKING CUTTING EYEBALL SHIT

Can't believe I didn't discover CD until a few weeks ago. What an amazing youtuber. Smart writing, great production values, informative, and entertaining.

MAN- "Love with your heart but use your head for everything else" really got to me after his final speech at the end of this episode. I never expected to tear up while watching one of Captian's videos

This was actually beautiful. People used to believe anything they were told, but now, people are just as stupid, but on the other side of the coin. People don't believe the wind because they can't see it. Trust is seen as weakness, and everyone is viewed as the enemy. Also, the "someone had to be in control" part was shockingly on point.

That control psychology segment was so powerful. We invent conspiracies that apply human control to chaotic events to secretly calm our own insecurities within a chaotic universe

4:40 "I don't want to believe it so it must not be true." Captain D is doing a great service to the world his videos

"The power to tell real from fake doesn't come from being a world expert or mistrusting everything you see, it comes from a honest willingness to change your opinions or beliefs based on new facts. So learn to enjoy being wrong, the world might start making more sense. You won't feel quite as out of step with the rest of humanity, your words won't cause needless pain to people who have suffered real tragedies, and the words of others won't sway you into believing myths over truth. You'll be able to love with your heart, but use your head for everything else."

Is no one else gonna say about how he basically has a kidnapping chamber on the other side of his wall?

One of your best videos in my opinion. It encapsulates the spirit of channel incredibly well with the message about how to balance skepticism on the Internet. I think this proves that your channel is going to outlast most, you have a reason to debunk videos and a righteous ideal to spread.

I have seen this video about three or four times over the course of these years... Each time I do, I feel like I can comprehend even more about it. And this last one right now is no different, my enlightenment has reached a new peak. See you in a couple years, Captain. I'll surely come back.

I've been watching for years and still come back and watch this episode all the time. Its amazing!

as a resident of florida, I can confirm that it is made entirely out of alligators and we have to wrestle them on a daily basis to just get to work.

A month later and I'm still fucked up over the eyeball cut.

Still one of the best videos on KZfaq. THANK YOU Captain D. The world needed this.

Dude I just found this channel today and it is great the videos are just grade A content man keep it up and don’t ever stop I’ve learned more from your videos than I thought I could

This is still my favorite Captain Disillusion. It's one of the few resources I have showing the danger of being *too* skeptical. Skepticism based on fact is great. Based on feeling... well, not so much.

What if he didn't predict infinity war. But infinity war copied him. Hmmm.....

4 million views and I've been following you and watching your stuff for years and it just now shows me this awesomeness! THANK YOU! I'm glad i got to see it eventually

I've watched many of your videos and I cannot believe that I am just seeing this now. It is more relevant in recent years than when it was made. I just wish the kind of people who need to see this would watch it, and hopefully some will. Thank you, this was excellent.

...Did someone seriously ask you to debunk hydrographic dipping? I... I feel bad for our society.

My 10-year-old son wants to know, "do you sleep in a debunk bed?"

This has to be one of my favourite videos on KZfaq and it gives really good advice

I love your timeless production. The techniques used in the videos were so advanced that after 6 years they look as modern as they could be. Of course, the new ones form you brought new styles and ideas too.

The moon was a paid actor

Okay so we're just going to ignore the fact that he has that secret little jail behind his wall???

I keep coming back to this one. I'm really grateful that it exists. Thank you.

Yes I'm late to find this man on youtube... But totally become fan of all his efforts in every single video... Acting scripting and research and obviously editing all are mind blowing❤ Captain disillusion, here is a heart with full of love and support❤

I hope someday that evil guy returns. And maybe CD his little cracks in his walls, slowly getting slightly larger with each video. Until, finally, BOOM - big reveal - HE’S BACK! Y’know what I mean?

Florida: "Mass of alligators shaped like a peninsula". As a native Floridian I agree with this description.

As I've grown up I am starting to understand these themes to your videos that flew over my head before or at least I'm able to apply them to the real world you are insanely talented in VFX and what not, but you are a really good writer too

This is your masterpiece Incredibly well done and containing a message that is STILL possibly the most important thing a skeptic can learn

You honestly had me going "wait, what?" with the gator clip. Well played, Captain D. Well played indeed.

This is the bravest video that has ever come from this channel. Congrats and well done! Two thumbs up, I only wish I had more thumbs.

I needed this as much today as I did when it was released. Thanks, Cap'n. You got a good head on your shoulders.

Gotta love how he goes from “something that is definitely real, attempting to poorly debunk it” to “conspiracy theories”

Wow, too much sarcasm. You've got good content and good production values. Take the sarcasm back down to level 1 and you'll nail it.

*Captain D:* _censors words like "shit"_ *also Captain D:* _shows eyeball extract from Un Chien Andalou_

Rewatched this after the Alex Jones decision. Yet again, this video keeps becoming relevant. Why.

Feel like this one needs a comeback. So good.

*Not tonight honey, I have a headache*

Cap d: greeting children also cap d: showing Razer blade over eye

I've watched this seventeen times because I think this guy deserves more views

4 years ago and absolutely as relevant today. Brilliant.

Every comment is either about the eye slice or a quote from infinity war at 6:00

That was absolutely incredible.

Wow. This is the best video I’ve seen CD make and that’s saying so much. The pacing is impeccable, the message pertinent, and all in 7. MINUTES. This is so good, and it’s a shame Zeitgeist hasn’t come back as a reoccurring character yet.

The room was gettin creeeeeepppppyyyyy but when everything repaired it was oddly satisfying

Hello kids! _eyeball cut_

why the fuck did this make me emotional? debunk that pls

I just found this channel and i’m extremely thankful

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite content creators, you are damn hilarious and geniuz !

I want to see Zeitgeist come back. Genuinely frightening villain.
