Okay I know it might seem like I'm in a bit of a thematic rut here but I promise this is a very different video from the head transplants one.

What's the Point of Taking Apart a Body?

I am happy every time to see real personhood resist our tricks. I am happy to see bodies insist they are not shut up in this book, they are elsewhere. | Get a 30 day free trial of Audible by visiting https://www.audible.com/jacobgeller or text 'jacobgeller' to 500 500 Support me: https://www.patreon.com/JacobGeller Follow me at: https://twitter.com/yacobg42 Merch: https://store.nebula.app/collections/jacob-geller Diagnoses from the Dead (Richard A.

This is wild because I just asked my sugar daddy to buy me a first class relic of Saint Catherine of Alexandria that I found online, which is basically a mysterious woman who’s been chopped up.

History will remember this as your mad scientist phase.

great video as always, Jacob. I think my favourite story involving a corpse has to be The Autopsy of Jane Doe. definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

I have a character in a TTRPG game that's a medical examiner of ghosts and in that world basically invented the autopsy. I am beyond excited for this video! For multiple reasons but one of them is using it as research into how I can make that character even better and possibly even more insane (but in a fun way). So thank you for your thematic not-rut. I find it endlessly fascinating.

Had to pause at 10:38 to come and comment that an audible "HELL YEAH! :D" occurred. I'm pretty sure your disco elysium video is what first got me into your work. :)

Re: a source only getting a single quote; isnt that just how it is? Haha. I just finished grad school and I definitely know the experience of reading tons and tons for only a few words to be sourced.

Brilliant as always! Kinda glad it wasn't as dark as the head transplant one though 😁

HEY JACOB, YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT THIS ALRIGHT

Great video as usual. I don't have much to comment, but I think you definitely got the atmosphere for the subject matter right.

Great video! My favorite media about this subject is the film THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE. It is a very fun take on the “what is the body trying to tell us?” trope.

Off-topic but I'm ten minutes in and the lighting is ✨wildly good✨
