Nice try Illuminati
Reviews for "SS Mail - Meaning"
I don't mean to ruin your campaign, but I hope you're aware just how sect-like does this distancing yourselves from other people is. Segregation is bad.
Your philosophy is unfortunately a bit too simple; there's a lot we can learn from *everyone* and using just ourselves as comparison is just a bad idea.

What are you suggesting? I'm not trying to distance myself, i want more people to talk about this kind of stuff.
i guess it is educational but... it's very hard to concentrate, try better at entertaining the viewer
Most of the video delivers a very basic obvious point and passes it off as "spirit science", a strange oxymoron. Stay away from those who make you feel negatively, strive for a real, instrinsic goal. If you didn't know those life tips, wow you are behind! So what is the worthfulness of this tab as you say to examine? Not much for most people.
It's hard to rate something that is both well done and addresses ambitious topics, yet nonetheless falls short of its intended goal (to reach other people). So, I gate it a fariyl arbitrary 3/5 for a worthy effort.
I think it was some of the language and imagery that stood in the way for a lot of the people who completely hated this piece. There's a lot of new age spiritualism and self help pablum out there, and the vast majority is garbage. Not that this is necessarily garbage itself. It's actually not terrible advice, and in fact, seems more sincere in opening conversation than preaching some kind of revealed truth to the viewer. That's its saving grace when it falls short, which it does on several occasions (as so many reviews are apt to point out already).
Overall, though, it's nice to see a well intentioned video like this on Newgrounds. Its credibility might be highly suspect and its philosophy questionable at best, but it's a step in the right direction in ways that are perhaps more important than mere facts or reasoned arguments. So, despite its faults, I commend it for trying, and encourage the author to keep daring to put his ideas out there.
