“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

"There is no life, truth, intelligence or substance in matter. All is infinite mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is all-in-all. Spirit is immortal truth, matter is mortal error. Spirit is God, and Man is his image and likeness, therefore Man is not material, he is spiritual."
~ Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science and suthor of the Christian Scienc textbook Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures
The video, of course, is both irksome and depressing. I reject all such things as Man's chronic and always futile attempt to replace God's Truth and Divine Authority with great masses of pseudo-erudite "analysis" of fraudulent , contrived man-made muyths supported with cleverly invented vocabulary and artfully contrived terminology that has no basis in ordinary, everyday reality.
The Modern-Post-Modern method of "Building Castles in the Air."
These tedious attempts to invent a NEW version of Reality by vehemently denying the very existence of what clearly is God's Handiwork are by nature fraudulent, and more than a bit silly.
Unfortunately, they have had an EFFECT on society, because most people –– even those with a relatively high IQ –– are FOLLOWERS not LEADERS who prefer NOT to assume the burden of thinking things out for themselves, and charting thei'r own curse through based on proven traditional guidelines. And so we are blest what I would call "The Pied Piper Syndrome."
In other words the majority are apt to fall for ANYTHNG that promises to absolve them of the responsibility of obeying God and loiokng out for their own best interests with the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount use as a beacon to guide their way
We want MAGIC cures, INSTANT progress, FREE everything all of which are impossible, and so we have come to be dominated more and more by these intellectual charlatans who are for whatever reason eager to deprive us of the great blessing of enjoying the benefits of honest rellgious faith, ith economic and social policies based on good old-fashioned Common Wisdom derive from CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES.
Who by the way s the NARRATOR of this video? He has a slight, but most peculiar most peculiar accent that tends to thicken vowel supplanting esses wth zees, and muddying up words ending in ing as in goingk, comingk, runningk,,while interspersing words like tank, sank, plank and bank with gees, as in plangk, bangk, crangk, etc.
The aberration is very slight, but quite noticeable to someone with a musical ear such as myself.
I also noticed a slight tendency to replace tees with dees and kays with gees in words like boat, coat, wrote, float and shake, lark, make, look, book, close, clever and recover, etc.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
~ Psalm 121 - KJV

Yet, the overall sound is that of an American.
CURIOUS!

Ready Player One... a metaclassic w/ culty references to all that came before.... so a future reach into the "past"... ;)
But does the Shining prove Kubrick faked the moon landing?
Do you ever dig at the dirt and wonder what future archaeologists will think of you?
I try and not get that far ahead of myself.
Best answer ever.
