"Everytime someone dies, a library goes to ashes" -Someone I saw in the UKposts comments once.

Of course this is recommended to me after Everywhere At The End of Time

The biggest mystery ever is Terminal lucidity, when an Alzheimer patient (with destroyed brain) suddenly turns back completely lucid, adequate, with full memory, like fully normal person, shortly before the death.

My grandmother, who does not have Alzheimers, got sick and was temporarily sent to recover at a home for Alzheimers patients. It was honestly the grimmest place I've ever been, like actually from a horror movie. The people were like zombies, just sitting there quietly staring at the tv, like passengers on a plane. One lady started going "help... help..." while staring at me, and another one was walking back and forth the corridor (for my whole 1½ hour visit) singing about how she wants to die. Aside from the nurses chatting in their break room and my grandmother, those were the only words I heard on the whole visit.

Alzheimers is my biggest fear. Such a scary thought to think you might forget everything you know now someday.

Alzheimer’s is terrifying and so sad. You lose the person before they even die.

I first watched this when it came out, I was in the 10th grade. 6 years later and I'm applying for a MSc, & then hopefully a PhD, in Neuroscience. Thank you Michael :)

Listening to a brain explain the brain to our brains feels like inception

"The human brain is the most complex structure ever in the universe." - Human Brain

I like how my brain is learning about it's self.

"If the brain was simple enough that we could understand it, we would be too simple to understand it"

it's like forgetting a memory you were thinking about, you remember thinking it was cool, and you refuse to forget to, but then when you try to think too hard, that cool Idea of your just fades..away.

"Now im scared of my own brain" - My Brain

WHAT 2 VIDEOS IN A MONTH, HOLY SHIT

Imagine living a life of 80 years just for it to be like you haven't lived a single day in the end. Sounds terrifying as hell.

my friend's mom just died from freakishly early onset alzheimers, in her early 50s i think. it sounds like one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking ways to die. it's sometimes genetic and matrilineal, so i'm really hoping my friend doesn't develop it, at least at such an early age. such a tragic loss. i lost my mom years ago as well but i still can't imagine what it was like, living with her in those last years as it got worse, knowing there's not really any effective treatments to slow it down much or reverse the effects. i suppose all we can do is raise awareness and support research with whatever means we have. everyone struggling with this awful disease and those who love them have my sympathy.

Ik I'm not the only one who would love to just sit and have a conversation with this dude for hours

When I was a little kid I thought Alzheimer’s was called Old timers

Sometimes it feels like it’d be impossible to have dementia/Alzheimer’s. Certainly I’d notice if I couldn’t remember stuff, right? Then I remember my dreams, and how I almost never notice I’m dreaming. Scary stuff.

"the oldest a m o n g u s"

All the newest comments can be divided into two categories 1.Everywhere At The End of Time reference 2.among us

My great grandfather developed Alzheimers, and he recorded a video for himself to remember everyone. It was an hour long video of him 10 years before assuring himself that his family will take care of him till he dies. Sometimes, he would get very scared of us, but we'd give him the video and just smile. Rest in peace, Great granddad. You will live infinitely through our memories

1:38 "Among Us" -Michael Stevens

My great grandma recently passed due to Alzheimers. She was a beautiful caring woman and every moment I shared with her felt special, we lived only a block away from her and my great grandpa's house, we got to see them a lot due to this. But. Once my grandpa died, my great grandma's alzheimers got worse. I live in a new state now so when we got to see her after those years of being apart. (Last time I saw her was during my great grandpa's funeral. ) she looked so out of it. As if she was confused on how to even live... she looked so weak, so much more skinny then the last I saw her. She kept talking about my great grandpa and how she was thinking of him, I think she knew he was gone but it seemed as though she didnt... Turns out she forgot how to even drink water cause of her alzheimers, she didn't know she was dehydrated which made her have a stroke. After that... the children of my great grandma decided it was time for her. So she was put in one of those places where you're set peacefully to sleep and die. They make it so it's not painful, and so they go out without any more pain. I know my great grandma was gone but I knew it was her still even when she looked so gone. When we finally got to her funeral from our state and I got to see her resting peacefully I couldn't stop bawling my eyes out. I missed her, but I know this was the best for her. I know she's happy up with my grandpa but letting go has been so hard to face with someone you love dearly.

This disease is scary. Imagine forgetting everything in your life that defines you as a person. That just leaves you lifeless and dead.

"bro guys he said among us laugh" and "every where at the end of time" is the jist of all these comments.

1:37 GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD

1:38 i know its been said a ton already

Alzheimer's disease is when you realize *It's* *just* *a* *burning* *memory.*

My grandfather died of Alzheimer's, His oldest son Died of Alzheimer's, My father, aged 80 is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. Just yesterday I received the letter from his Geriatric Dr. "[dad's name] does not have the mental capacity to manage his personal, financial, and medical care." I've watched him decline over the last 10 years, falling rapidly over the last year and a half. The worst is yet to come.

I am making a presentation about dementia and this is so helpful, I am glad I managed to stumble by this video again after so long haha.

I was in a Alzheimer’s unit of a nursing home performing maintenance and had to go into a patients room. On the Wall was a frame holding a picture of the man during WWII. He had many medals and a plaque inside stated that he was in the first wave of men to hit the beaches in Normandy. He survived all that hell lived his life. Alzheimer’s left this man an 80 pound shell of himself laying in a bed wearing a diaper and holding a teddy bear. I hope a cure is found because this is what awaits anyone with this disease.

It’s actually incredible how this guy sets up topics and transitions into them

1:38 Make it stop, MAKE IT STOP🔥🔥

1:38 caught me off guard so much lmao

It's incredible that i have an organ in my body that wonders what itself tastes like.

I would hate it if Michael got Alzheimers when he's older

I loved this video. It's terrifying. My grandma had Alzheimers and her final days she forgot how to breathe

My Grandpa got Alzheimer at the age of 75, he still lived quiet well until hit 89. I miss him alot. Idk if i can get Alzheimer one day but hoping me will beat it

Next could you explain the science of your uploading schedule ;)

When my grandfather got Alzheimer’s and dementia, whenever he looked in a mirror he talked to his reflection thinking it was his brother. I hope when I’m in my 70s and 80s there will be a cure.

“The oldest AMONG US”

My grandma passed in 2018 from Alzheimer’s. And she was 85, my mom is older, and she’s 66. Ever since my grandma passed that’s all that been in her mind is, weather or not she’ll get it. The past two years she asked me if I wanted to go to Spain then Greece. So I said yes, I want to know that if she gets diagnosed in like 20 years that, I can look back and not regret going to that trip, or regret that conversation. I spend time with her, not so that she has someone to talk to, but so I can feel better about know I enjoyed the most I could with my mom.

"Post-awareness stage 6 is without description"

Is it fair to call Vsauce the 21st century Bill Nye the science guy?

1:37 HE DID THE THING!!!

If you're watching this after 7 years or even later then you just witnessed Vsauce before drugs

So I guess we didn't have to wait until 2017 for a new Vsauce video...nice

Breaking news : Man with Alzheimer's forgot he had Alzheimer's, remember everything. Edit : Oh crap I did not remember writing this comment.

1:37 I can never hear it the same ever again...

He said among us

post-awareness stage 6 is without a description

My mother started showing overt signs of Alzheimer's last year (2021). She stopped using her computer, started missing credit card payments, and was starting to have trouble navigating (she got lost going home from my house, a route she'd driven for 10 years). She was very intelligent, so was able to compensate for many deficits, hiding them by such tricks as evasiveness and changing the subject. But she was starting to repeat the same exact stories, questions, and commentaries to me every time I visited. I realized that she had no memory of what was discussed on a previous visit, so I got an appointment with her family doctor. He tested her cognitive functions and told me that she definitely was showing symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. Well, I let her stay in her independent living apartment as long as I could, but when she was found one cold April evening (it was right at freezing) wandering the streets and sitting in the road confused, I had to act. I had her sent to the hospital for observation and more cognitive testing. She was definitely getting a lot worse and acted erratically. It took a month but I got her into a facility that cares for Alzheimer's patients, with secured doors so wandering residents don't get out. They are doing a good job monitoring her but I think that the disease has accelerated its progress in the last three months and her confusion has gotten to where she doesn't recognize me. She thinks I'm a co-worker from three decades ago. Anyhow, I suppose this is just venting as I'm the only one of her three children who is in location and ability to deal with this. I'm just thankful that I can talk to my aunt (her sister) by phone or text anytime I need to. Say "I love you" to your loved ones who might be developing Alzheimer's. Say it every day. They might not remember who you are, but they remember love.

Out of every disease that existed, I still think that this one is the most terrifying and grueling one ever

The phrase Among us is never going to be the same again.

I watched my grandfather sink into the abyss of Alzheimer's. To watch the strong man he was, eventually end up shriveled up in the fetal position when he died, saddens and scares me. I'm sad it happened to him, scared it could happen to my mother, scared it could happen to my sister's or myself. That disease takes everything from its victims. Life, memories, dignity.

“The oldest among us” oh no.

You might have to redo this video since the whole amyloid plaque hypothesis was based on falsified data.

To be completely honest, this video is what started my road to neurology! Thanks vsauce

Developing a neurodegenerative disease is my greatest fear.

My grandmother has Alzheimer’s, she hit me today because she forgot who I was. Horrible thing Alzheimer’s is.

An elderly guy goes to my gym, i see him like once a week or sometimes once a month and he always talks about a seizure he had which has made him have anxiety about being outside. He talks about it to me everytime he sees me and also says "I'm pushing on though, you've got to these days" in which i agree........I've known him for about 5 years yet he never remembers me 😔. I always just smile and make him feel comfortable.

he said among us, and you're laughing.

The next Vsauce video better be 2 hours long

My grandparents grew up in England and moved to New Zealand in 1971 and now my grandad has Alzheimer’s, he has no clue what he did 5 minutes ago but can talk about their childhood in Liverpool effortlessly.

My heart nearly fell off when I saw this clip 2:09 I thought my new phone screen broken or something 🤣

1:38

1:37 I CAN’T EVEN WATCH A GODDAMN VSAUCE VIDEO IN PEACE ANYMORE, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP

My mother is entering final stage Alzheimer's as we speak. I watched my grandfather waste away from it, now her. It's terrifying not only to see her lose herself every day, but to see the support structure for me and my father wash away as people don't know how to help and can't handle it. Please, if you know someone suffering? Don't run from their disease. Be their friend, even if they can't remember you being there. Those who maintain their care often feel so alone and helpless. Knowing they aren't alone is the greatest gift in the world you can give. Thanks for this video Vsauce.

My grandpa just got diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I found this very informative. He acts like a confused child a lot so I have been taking care of him and helping him go shopping and stuff. I dread the day that he forgets who I am or needs to be placed in a facility that can watch him 24/7.

Micheal saying Among Us: 1:37

ive watched like 12 of his vids today and am begining to question my life

Just came here after listening to Everywhere at the end of time.

Guys, did you notice it says gullible at the end of the description

Vsauce stop uploading UKposts red videos. We miss you

What if you Wanted to go to heaven But god said: *post-awareness stage 6 is without description*

Why is the bar at the bottom of the thumbnail all red? i dont remember watching this.

1:38 truly an among us moment

So we are all just a floating tofuu of memories

"Things associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimers disease include:" - Physical activity - A heart healthy diet - learning a second language later in life - Being social, frequently interacting with people - Protecting your head - And intellectual activities like - Crossword puzzles - Playing instruments - Reading - Board games - Education Well, I guess I'm fucked then.

4:44 cool my brain has depression to

I forgot what I was about to comment

*Wants to talk about the brain and Alzheimer's* *Begins talking about a clock and the movement of the milky way* Classic Vsauce

Everybody gangsta till youre hella old and Its Just A Burning Memory starts quietly playing in the background

1:38 got me dead, I still have Amogus.

When bro said Amogus I died 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I feel like this video only shows in your recommendations after you watch Everywhere At The End of Time or when you haven’t finished it. Like that 6 and a half hour album is the key to unlock this video.

100% serious, it says "gullible" at the bottom of the description after all the links.

1:38 GET OUT OF MY HEAD

I know my humor is dead when I laughed as he said “the oldest among us”

the brain also named itself.

1:26 You know shit's about to get real when the Vsauce Music starts!

6:20 Probably stupid question coming up: If that car moves exactly as fast as you think, how would you control it? If the brain can't process it faster than that car moves, how do you make timed decisions like turning or slowing down?

1:38 you're welcome

Alzheimer's is a hellish disease.. Imagine visiting your mother only for her to ask "who are you?".... Trying giving support to someone you love who doesn't know who you are is possibly the worst feeling I can fathom.

It's crazy how the brain named itself

When i heard "the oldest among us", i knew what is going to happend when i sort comments by newest first

he said among us... he is a time traveller

I feel like alzheimer/dementia would feel like that moment when you wake up from long afternoon nap and you kinda forget what time, what day is it and even where you are, but you never recover from it. Or when you trying to remember something on the tip of your tongue, but you can never reach it because that memory will just keep slipping away into the darkness, taking you along. That terrifies me

This is an important lesson for all of us. Never stop learning new things.
