The F-it point - Take the time to watch

Take the time to watch

people will see this and their minds will switch to cognitive dissonance-they will refuse the evidence so they will keep there stupid way of thinking. C'est la vie

It's a great documentary to introduce people to the fact that "we're F***ed" unless we do something. However, for those who already know, it's more of the same, but great otherwise.
I would not say technology is a problem, but how we use it certainly is. It won't save us if we continue this lifestyle. I think of our modern use of technology like using a jet engine to roast a marshmallow. Ridiculously overused and undervalued. If we put technology to a greater purpose, like building sustainable housing and communities, we'd be set.
I don't think rioting will work, especially if it's just vandalism. It could work if we simply flooded the streets or offices of our governments and corporations. That does, however, require a massive amount of people getting together, but it's not out of the realm of the possible.
We need to be clear about our intentions and have alternative solutions to present to people. We need to get creative. We need to learn that no matter the strong will of the fat cats, we have strength in numbers, and it's our responsibility to make choices that ensure our survival. So if you're a soldier,...

Imagine if the trillions of dollars wasted on the development of thermonuclear weapons had been invested in the development of constructive technology. If all the resources that were squandered on senseless wars was invested in humanity. I fear we have crossed the Rubicon, and there is no turning back.

Yeah man that song says it all

Yeah man that song says it all

I don't remember who said this: "If there is a universal mind, must it be sane?" The universe isn't crazy, just some people.

"Masters Of War"
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks.

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly.

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain.

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion'
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud.

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins.

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do.

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.

It's greed, greed, greed. That's what it all comes down to. See one person owning more than one vehicle? No need. Multiple houses? No need. You get the picture.

I say, and it is extremely pessimistic, that we need to remove greed from man to have a chance of saving the planet.
I think there is a 0% chance of removing greed from man.
Ergo, we're fucked.

sort of the same conclusion I came to myself....... I personally reached the F-it point quite some time ago.

Not bad but it misses some serious points on the levels of corruption going on at the time and still going on now.

It also glosses over a few areas.

This one is much better.
