Yes! It’s almost a form of therapy to me to think about.

Same, I think it definitely serves as escapism sometimes when things get rough in life. This idea that everything is going to end and we're only a tiny tiny part of a big big big big infinite space.

Honestly if you've got something important to do and you feel anxious or stressed about it like exams, an important meeting etc... An existencial crisis is a good way to make you feel numb to these emotions and situations which could greatly benefit you.

For me the universe videos dont cut it aymore so i just usually go watch an animal eaten alive or just something to make me generalize life and existence and to remind my brain that the problems i have right now dont matter because you and everyone around you will be dead and life is neutral in the end
