The Bottom of the Rabbit Hole Iceberg Explained
Education
Introduction
Google defines a rabbit hole as a bizarre, confusing, or nonsensical situation, and this iceberg chart has a lot of that going on. People usually watch iceberg videos to know about the weird stuff at the bottom, so that's what we're talking about today. We delve into topics such as Osama bin Laden's hard drive, devourment, hidden answers, hyper sigils, global mind, tunnels, cannibal cafe, Fighting Monarch, and much more.
Before diving in, a couple of points need mentioning:
- We won’t go super in-depth into all the entries. Each entry could take a full video, so we’ll provide a quick rundown and mention the most important elements.
- Some entries are inappropriate for YouTube, so they won't be covered here.
- Entries covered in previous videos will be skipped to avoid redundancy.
Accompanying the text are light-hearted Minecraft deathrun b-roll footage to help lighten the mood while we discuss topics like God's ego death. Research for this video took me to some of the weirdest parts of the internet. When doing such research, keeping online identity anonymous and personal information safe is important, which is why I use a VPN. This leads us to today's sponsor, NordVPN.
Did you know that without a VPN, all your internet activity can be traced back to your device? Your ISP can see every website you visit, and malicious websites and bad actors can easily track you. The only effective way to protect your online privacy is using a VPN like NordVPN. NordVPN encrypts all your internet traffic. This makes it impossible for your ISP to track your online activity and equally difficult for malicious sites and bad actors. Using NordVPN is simple; download the app on your device, sign in, and hit Quick Connect.
Now on to the good stuff, let's dive deep into the iceberg's bottom:
