Oh boi! I can already here them now. Your fun's not going anywhere folks. I'm working on a much more detailed and rational meme video to extrapolate a bit more info. And before you get going down there, by #MEME I mean...

/mēm/

a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

Sick of #Spongebob and #Minecraft memes? The Grendel's got a hot take for you, and it's probably not what you think. Art theft is rampant on the internet, and even if you think memes are harmless, there's a lot more to them than most people are aware of.
Just....you know, think about it for a second.

Experimenting with some character animation. Ignore the jenkiness. That'll be smoothed out next time.

This time, we're taking a quick look at how language is being shaped by influential media types and activists to control the way you think about them. Don't worry. It's not as heavy as you think.

Why do people make succor channels that appeal to only a niche audience, and then wonder why, when the ride is over, their subscribers seem to just disappear? Seems odd to me.

It’s time for another Grendel Says! Countdown lists are boring and overated, so let’s count up this horrifically obtuse space monster’s favorite something or others. This video displays The Grendel’s true identity, that of creation itself, in a collection of vignettes that smash together a wide variety of styles, techniques, and art-forms in true Dadaist fashion. Is this a part of a larger story, or just slapdash gobbled-gook? The world needs meme baloney. The Aether Freak abides. AND HOW!

P.S.
For anybody who was wondering where I’ve been or why I haven’t uploaded in a while; with articles 13 and 11, now 17, passed in the EU, I’ve decided to take the steps necessary to create as much of my content from scratch as possible. This obviously means that some things will take longer. I’ve created a strategy to get out some simpler content more often while I work on the bigger vids, and focus on the Grendel storyline and art criticism, since I don’t need to directly reference copyrighted material in those formats. Hope you like the video, and stick around, the next few months should be fun. Thanks for watching.

SOPHISTIC LINGCHI is the art of tearing to shreds the nonsense of sophistry. This series will correct the inadequacies of culture reviewers and cults of personality alike, utilizing terse rationality and methodical objective analysis to provide answers to questions nobody asked.

In the wake of the rise of pandering solipsism across the internet, our beholder friend sets out to eviscerate the notion that art is purely subjective. This time, we continue our look at that awkward argument and try to determine if objective reality has a place in the critique of art. Spoiler alert. It does.

If you like the content please share, like, or I dunno, maybe stick around for more. If you want to see something funny or more creative, this channel has a number of different characters to explore, from Lovecraftian Space Cats to Disgruntled Gnomish Snake Oil Salesmen.

Aron Ra is an activist promoting progression of science in education. He creates informative content regarding science and spends time debunking pseudoscience, religiosity, superstition and myth. I chose to cite his talk at ReasonCon 2017 for his critique of solipsism which is quite astute and to the point (at least in a philosophical context). Time Stamp 39:04 for the portion on solipsism.
