So much time, thought, and engineering put into doing what others see as natural. “It’s only walking,” except that there’s a lot more to it than that. There’s feedback from accelerometers, gyros, motor resistance, imaging sensors, and extreme amounts of processing to turn it all into a fluid motion. “It’s only small talk…” “It’s only a gift…” “It’s only a friendship to keep…”

I will say, as someone who spent most of their life feeling similarly, I have completely changed my opinion as I have accepted my reality over time. I thought I was autistic when I was about 16. Eventually made peace with the fact that I just am whoever I am and I want to be whatever that is. Never found out if I was or not. Was diagnosed bipolar and other things that I'm still not sure are accurate. They may be, but I choose not to ruminate on my flaws and just focus on enjoying my life. Free will does not mean free from interference. Your free will is exactly what allowed you to make a great track, develop the skills to do so, and turn that into a very successful channel. With that said, you *are* allowed to complain. You are allowed to be wrong and make wrong choices. You are allowed to have influences prevent you from what you should do, want to do, need to do, and will do. We all do it. But that does not mean you have no free will. An artist sees the beauty in chaos. I choose to view my obstacles as part of that.

I've had a bit of my "free will" internal debate as well, but it was between determinism and "free will". I came to the belief and realization, to balance my own existence, that free will is a continuation of what has been determined to you. The choices you have to make while continuing your path, whatever that is. Once a choice is made, a new path "pre-determined" has been created until the next checkpoint, where you'll have to make your next "free will" decision. It mitigated a lot the issues I had past this realization. Writing this comment also felt refreshing, as it was a conscious choice to write, and not something that I "felt" like doing as if determined by whatever.

But I understand that it must be weird being driven by this invisible all powerful audience to *not* do certain videos because "it's not the 'red means recording I know and love'. I'm happy you're doing better and I'm sure you will find a way to feed the invisible audience as well as you creative need.

I just stumbled on this video and whatever that piece of tech is that looks cool as fuck. At the start it sounded like something that could become an EDM banger, then at around 1:50 it starts sounding like The Endless Space ambiance music. "The choices I make are to avoid my own suffering" this one hits me hard man. I got diagnosed with autism and adhd about a year ago and I've been living that way more and more. I think it's good, in most ways. I avoid parties and the like so I don't get as much social contact as I'd like, but most people I know just don't like to do what I would like to do when socialising so that's kind of a bummer. On the other hand, it spares me so much suffering. I'm living for ME now. I used to always try to please others because I was so scared of their reaction (maybe because of RSD that sometimes comes with adhd).

The concept of free will is ****** up. Once, I had to suffer through a course about consciousness, determinism made me truly angry: we already don't have control over what we consciously experience, now we also don't control how we interact with/react to that. I argue it doesn't matter though: whether or not you say the brain is deterministic, you are still you, and the idea of having no free will should not influence your actions. I also argue that the deterministic brain can change: one constantly evolves, out of itself, or due to influences from outside (e.g. other people). Does that change your having ASD? No.. but you do learn to cope with it, due to masking. This means that you are able to get 'control' over something you are, whether this is free will or some predetermined reaction. It literally does not matter: you are your deterministic brain. The free will debate is largely irrelevant to me, except for when we talk about how it affects someone or when it involves crime. So, may my deterministic brain influence yours: do actively choose what you want to watch on Netflix, the choice is yours (voluntarily or not) and the choice reflects you. Also, don't think about a pink elephant. This is the first video I ever watched from you. Your video style is unique to me, and got me quite curious. I'll look more into it :)

As an peer diagnosed autistic. I encourage you to continue your research into being neurodivergent, take it at your own pace. Do it in a way that works for you. You dont have to have every specific trait of autism to be autistic. That sense of doubt you feel is normal. That everpresent nagging feeling of something being fundamentally wrong with you, something broken. A feeling that has stopped being something as minor as “nagging” a long time ago. That feeling already makes it pretty likely that you’re not neurotypical. Neurotypical people dont feel out of place literally 100% of the time. They don’t have to mask, then be exhausted for hours and days. They don’t get ostracised the way neurodivergent people do. Not to the same extent, definitely not this harshly. I talk to neurodivergent people rather than go to a mental health professionals as I don’t exactly have the resources to seek a diagnosis. If I did I’d be risking my money that i dont even have. Plus risk being constantly gaslit and bullied by the people “diagnosing” me. So yeah. Stay safe out there, and good luck

I know now what neurodivergence is, and how its shaped me and the way I experience life, but for a long time I felt like I had missed the memo and my brain had mistakenly ended up in a human body when I should have been frog sitting on the bottom of a pond somewhere.

As someone who is autistic and struggles with masking in various parts: autism is called a spectrum for a reason. You might not have all the traits that other people who are autistic have. That doesn't mean you aren't autistic. I, for example don't have visual overstim, and my thinking is mixed focus between conceptual and details. Its okay to self-diagnose. In addition, being human means we are animals. Neglecting that part means we neglect certain needs because we're supposedly better than that. When you mask, consciously or unconsciously, you are utilizing inhibition. When done too much, it will hide from you and others who you actually are. And that is very rough on you.

Honestly, it's less a spectrum and more dozens of interrelated spectra. Autism can make someone avoid loud noises, seek them out, or neither. And there are many other traits any given individual with autism can have or not have in varying degrees, and none of them are fully unique to autism. It's the pattern of how those traits combine that is used to diagnose autism.

Been on this "am I autistic?" journey forever. Getting diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar helped a lot. Things like hyperfocus and and impulsiveness end up looking a lot like similar behaviors in people with autism, especially to other people who don't know what's going on inside of you when you exhibit them. Combine that with a mood disorder that creates feedback loops with your ADHD, detachment from the outside world, and cycling hypersensitivity to overstimulation, and basically everyone thinks I'm autistic even though I think I'm missing some of the important traits. I still constantly wonder if I just explain those traits away though. Maybe they're there and I ignore them, maybe I have strategies to work around them, maybe I really don't have them. I have no idea and it kinda sucks, but at least I have an alternate explanation. I don't know if having the correct label even matters.

I would recommend finding activities that you find enjoyable and meet people in that context as they will have likely sought out the experience for the same reasons as you.

I think this is my new favorite video. The way you manage to convey so much of the experience growing up as an undiagnosed autistic is incredibly visceral to me. As a kid I would sit in front of the mirror for hours practicing different faces and vocal inflections until I sounded more "normal", and I had absolutely no idea how to describe the way I felt. It was a very isolating experience that I never felt like I could share with anyone, and I wish a younger me had seen a video like this. + It's ok to not perfectly match up with all of the symptoms of ASD. Just because you don't have some traits, doesn't negate the ones you do have, and in fact it's less common for someone to fit every single criteria for autism. + + your style of editing, with the subtitles changing in time with the music and the "Red is recording" coming back like a chorus is a delight to watch and listen to.

As a fellow neurodivergent (ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety Crew) and fan of philosophy, you're going through it right now. The question at the root, to me, is between your ability to effect change in the world and the influences and predetermined paths that it often feels like we are going on without any control. Adam, from the fantastic Relentless Picnic podcast, once described it as (paraphrased) that your consciousness is sitting in your brain next to the guy who is actually pulling the levers, and just making up reasons for why you are doing what you're doing. And consciousness just keeps whispering to you that everything you are doing is alright, and normal. Jeremy, you are a delightful, creative, and soul filled person. Whether autism or a different neurodivergent diagnosis fits you, or if you don't ever get the truth of what is going on inside of you from without, by seeking the answers within yourself, you are already acting as an agent of free will. Listening to a therapist, seeking change and help for cognitive difference, and recognizing that this world is deeply fucked up are not the projects of a person who has no hand on the wheel. It's not your responsibility to fix the world, and giving music and art, joy and knowledge is a gift that few are able to give, but that does not mean that you are responsible for the material, social, economic, and political nonsense that you've been born into. This is all to say, you're doing that thing that actually matters, which is figuring out what you can about yourself, and asking the questions of the universe that we all should struggle with, but will (probably, barring any intervention from some higher power) never be able to find the entirety of the answer. I know, however, that your animal self, and the videos and ideas you have put out into the world have made my life better, and I am trying to make sure I am passing the gift you've given me to the next person. Keep pushing, and thank you for everything you do. And fuck anyone who comes negatively at you. They are not part of the project. A better world is possible.

After 12 years in recovery I am able to look back at the last 10 years of active addiction and see how little agency I had in my actions. I was operating on a subhuman level, guided only by my demons. Great video

I've lost count of how many months I've felt lost, questioning what it is I really want to do with my life, questioning if I'm capable of achieving what I desire to achieve, questioning if the lifetime of mistakes I've made so far are too much to bear, if opportunities are for others and not for me. One certainty that gives me clarity in this time of confusion and feeling lost, is that I wish, from the radiance of my soul suffocated by the expectations of others for so long, to express myself creatively - I don't know how exactly I wish to do this yet, but I've narrowed it down to 3 paths: music creation, creative writing, and possibly something to do with film. I'm still undecided. More questions, inevitably. More weight upon my proverbial shoulders. More things I - should - be building towards but simply am - not -. The algorithm suggested me this video, likely from my interest in Synthwave and digital music composition. My only background in music playing/creation is years of playing my guitar along to my favorite songs, alone in my bedroom. That's the extent of my knowledge on music, at least from a technical perspective. I do listen to a lot of it. And yet, the interest persists. In regards to music, I continue to tell myself "I can't do it. It's not my thing. I don't have the talent". But the interest remains. I decide to watch this video. I don't have a MIDI controller, nor do I know how to use one. I know nothing about music composition. And yet I click, and yet I watch. And to my surprise, to my astonishment, this - isn't - just a video on music production. The subject of autism, the notes of existential suffering, and most of all, the feeling of someone else's experience relating to my own, shocks me. Suddenly, I feel ever so slightly less alone, in my bedroom, feeling a little bit less anguish and guilt about struggling to do anything with myself. This too shall pass. But I don't want to forget. I hope I don't forget, that I'm not truly alone, I only feel this way. It's a heavy feeling, and I acknowledge it, but it is still simply a feeling. Thank you for this. I am glad I have stumbled upon your content. I hope you know that artists like yourself have and continue to inspire others into artistic creation. I am forever grateful.

In regards to better understanding our relationship with animals, I found "Animal Languages" by Eva Meijer and "The Genesis of Play" by Gordon M. Burghardt has truly changed the way I see both people and animals. To know that ants play for fun, that bats like to gossip, that trees sleep, that peppers can tell who their family members are...it's made the aspects of humanity that are hard to understand easier to reason about. Anyway, fantastic work! Love these videos, the way they're edited, the format, it's fun watching people work.

I am... glad that you're doing this. I missed the old format, and while this is close it's not the same thing. It's better. The nostalgia of the old format kicks in on top of this deeply personal essay and the results are beautiful. When you interrupt the journalizing to cut to RED MEANS RECORDING, it's like this powerful impact, all while a gorgeous song takes shape before us.

That's so wild because I started watching your channel in 2020 shortly after I was diagnosed and found it really comforting. I think the attention to detail in your videos, the way you share your process and even the choice not to have a voiceover drew me in. A lot of the things you described about accessing a diagnosis and questioning if it's the right answer are things I went through, being late diagnosed, and despite feeling like it was 100% wrong some days, the more I have learned, the more convinced I am that it's the right answer. Even all the things you described after questioning things - not having control over being born and that sort of thing are literally the exact thoughts I had around the time I was diagnosed. I encourage you to seek it out further, knowing that the struggles may be worth the reward eventually. For me, the two biggest positives of getting a diagnosis were as you said, permission and reason for the reason my life has been so difficult - and more recently - access to occupational therapy and other supports that are changing my life dramatically. Regarding Unmasking and the complex diagnosis process in different parts of the world (it was fairly straightforward for me) I think it's important to keep in mind that one person's experience of autism is one person's experience of autism, and research into what autism really is is still relatively new all things considered and we a learning new things about it every year.

You don't know how much these videos mean to me. I know you don't want to be reduced to these kind of videos and explore other types of content creation and I do like your other content too. But there is something magical about seeing and hearing you build a track without talking, it conveys so much more than words could. This has a special place in my heart.

I'm obsessed with how you'll be sharing something and then RED MEANS RECORDING or another brief tangent that may or may not be directly related to anything. That's how I talk normally to the people around me. Its frustrating to do, but reassuring to know I'm not alone in that.

Also autistic and have been musing about this my entire life. Just last night i stumbled across an interview with Robert Sapolsky titled "The brain, determinism, and cultural implications" where he beautiful tears apart the myth of free-will in a surprisingly validating and liberating way. Highly recommend. Really loving your videos and tracks by the way. Thanks for sharing with us.

In 2023 I also got told that I'm probably autistic, my therapist and I had several sessions talking about it and then I made a comment where he responded saying 'if you had said that sooner we wouldn't still be wondering if you are or aren't because that statement alone tells me you are." Being told that the way my brain works isn't my fault and now having an answer for all the frustrations I've felt in my life has been so freeing for me. It's made masking so much harder but I no longer feel the need to hide who I am to try and be normal. I understand now why I got so stuck in the 'all or nothing' ideology in school and why turned in or done is good enough. I've been watching you off and on for years now and to see someone also find out the same (possible) answer as to why they feel the way they do is comforting in a strange way. It's not easy to be open and honest with people when all your life you were told that it wasn't okay to be the way you are. Best of luck on your journey through all of this and hopefully it brings some comfort at the end of the road.

Great tune, brilliant work from both of you. I sympathise with how you are feeling, I am waiting for an ADHD assessment (I have been waiting over a year already), I am in my 50s and have always suffered with anxiety and depression. I have often said to doctors that something else must be causing it, but you get anti depressants and sent on your way. Hope that the world starts to make more sense for you soon.

This video really came to me at the right time- I've known about how my brain works for a good chunk of time now, and I thought I had figured out ways to live that made me feel as right and as safe as I could be, considering it all. And despite how much I've grown, and hopefully continue to grow, I still have all of those years of behaviors that I never really figured out, and so I never really found a way to dig them out of myself. I recently lost a friend because of a mistake I made while concussed, where I wasn't able to check myself as hard as I do when I'm in the right headspace. And it really super sucks because I'm stuck with this extreme guilt of having hurt someone I care about, along with this contrasting feeling that it was all just because of the situation, and that was something I could not have controlled or prepared for. Of course, neither extreme is true, and navigating this in-between space of an area that I have strong moral feelings about is really hard right now; seeing this video helped. Definitely going to keep trying to figure out what my gray area looks like.
