I get it that the sophons are extremely intelligent supercomputers with entangled twins, but I'm still perplexed on their capacity to be effective, due to their limited atomic size. They could be anywhere but not everywhere, the information they get is on the quantum level (since it's impossible to see or hear subatomically), and it take immense amounts of energy to fully expand and get back to their proton size.

Unless you've been living under a rock you've definitely heard about this guy. There was a major movie made about him that played in festivals all over the world. He was touted (erroneously) as being Bob Dylan before Bob Dylan. Thing is anyone afforded that much exposure that then fades back into obscurity in less than a decade is clearly not that important to most serious music fans. Never be sorry to tell the truth

It’s Satanism. All religions worship lucifer. Yes all of them. Jews didn’t exist until recent and this is mostly where you will find the demon possessed who serve the Lord in exchange for wishes. They hide as Catholics too. I should say they started hiding as Catholics and tried to get the new Jews to convert but it worked in their favor to have a race of money hungry pathetic victims because they’re so easy to possess. They aren’t very pretty and we know demons are obsessed with smell and appearance - it’s actually the Tell to spot them. Plan to Fancy. Satanism is focused on stones and transdimensional portals. Gravity Falls is similar. Star Trek enterprise. The demons can’t come here directly, they use our bodies like a space ship. The heart is where they get in. The body cannot operate correctly and we experience disease and early death due to the demons. Forgiveness in the form of deliverance can free you from them. Win Worley ran these summons in the 80s that are on bitchute… I was surprised that my ghost hunting app spewed out tons of stuff until I repented through his pray and also expelled demons from my home and family - it took 5 minutes for the app to say STRIKE and I shut it off and repented for using it again but it was very supernatural. Supernatural. Just like the show…Demons are real and Angels are dicks

great video, I was hooked the entire way through. imo I think adding some more haunting music would definitely elevate this video essay even higher, I'd nominate something similar to the sicario soundtrack, because i watched a video essay on sicario a couple days ago and the music made it really stick in my head in a way that wouldn't have happened if it didn't use the music, it added a more ethereal feeling to the whole video and made me think about it even days later. (this is the video btw: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdObmZyknZbLeYU.html ) I think if you can do what this guy did and match the music and the tone of the video it creates an atmosphere the whole project. I also think that adding fitting music really fills out the empty space left by what is otherwise a voiceover and movie clips (though i could hear a faint drum beat) and makes it much easier to consume. and will entertain our ears more and probably make this video stick in out heads more, though these are just my opinions.

I think your analysis so far is pretty spot on. I've been reading the book trilogy, I had to take a break about halfway through the second book because the existential dread is just a little too intense at times. It goes very very deep. I don't think you're looking into this too much at all, I think the show was intended like you said, to get people to question these ideas. Some people are not fans of the show because they read the books first, I don't necessarily agree with those people, I think this adaptation is doing a fantastic job of bringing these ideas to a much wider audience. Looking forward to your new video coming soon...
