Description
Anyone who knows anything about how statistics work, is already well aware that no matter how hard one might try or how good your data gathering systems might be; all statistics are inherently flawed and have large margins for error. So if you want to mindlessly debate about statistics, you're missing the point about this image. For those of you more interested in the point than you are in wasting your time, the point is this:Turn off your TV and go live your life.
If the only reality you know is what school and television have presented to you, then you know absolutely nothing about reality.

sorry bro i meant to include those of us born in 1968...we're the generation that had the free education, health care and any chance of a decent career ripped from our fingers by the fuckers you were talking about...
Cheers man and keep up the good thoughts and awesome writing...digging it big

I study Philosophy. It's sad by how many people think this is a joke - they say it's no good, its a major that will end you with nothing. Yet when I talk about the ideas of how modern advertisements feed you false Β happiness, your education is more then what people tell you, and that the purpose of life is your own making, they just say "that's so deep".Β
You don't need social media to keep friendships, you don't need a blog to be a good public speaker, and you don't need an A+ report card to be happy. And you don't need the things you want, but rather the things you need, which isn't much.Β
I've noticed many (most) people I meet are unhappy, especially in the very core of who they are. They hide behind false things either because they aren't doing what they love, or they feel out of place in society.Β

Well, social media can be a great tool if used properly. I'll be honest, I've made lots of good true friends using it, some of whom I have dealt with in person. Even got my best friend and last girlfriend that way. So, its just a tool. To praise it or to condemn it, is still to place a blame on the tool. Hammers aren't good or bad. Fire isn't good or bad. Tools are tools. We need to start taking responsibility for our own actions instead of passing the buck.
Anyways, I don't disagree about all of the subliminal garbage we are fed and at the core, your point is correct. But theres just as much good with the bad. I view the bad not as bad but as an opportunity for positive change, should be be brave enough to use dog shit as fertilizer to grow a garden.
Ultimately, it is who we choose to be as individuals that will make our destiny, or seal our fate.
In any case, for the most part -- I agree. But I'v seen an equal amount of good to the bad. Some people only see one and deny the other. Anyone who sees only the good and ignores the bad, is complacent. Anyone who sees only the bad and ignores the good, is complacent. Two halves make a whole.

This topic has been on my mind a lot lately between my cultural anthropology class and another class in which I'm beginning to learn to analyze media critically.Β
Your graphic is awesome and we as a generation really need to galvanize under these principlesΒ

Thank you and I agree.
I'm not looking to pass blame on anyone or anything, the situation just is what it is. Like if someone's shoe is untied, its untied. No sense trying to point blame at the shoe, or the laces, or whom or whatever. It just is what it is. And when we can view that objectively, we can decide what to do about it in such a way that isn't destructive.

Thank you so much for saying that. I feel like everyone's so caught up in assigning blame, whether it's on a personal level or a national problem. I see SO MUCH of "It's generation [such and such]'s fault" getting thrown around, from ALL sides, and I really just want people to stop pointing the finger and work together to solve these issues. There's blame to go around, but it doesn't matter--what matters is moving forward and doing something about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think we should assign responsibility, not blame. Theres a huge difference. Responsibility is merely an objective observation of what cooperative components contributed to a situation and an assessment of the consequences and interactions of the variables involved. Its like a forest fire. If we tried to look for the "blame" for the fire, we could pass the buck all the way back to God. That is pointless. But if we are looking to understand how fire functions, then we look at what components are responsible.
We also need to take into consideration that there is always a lot more than just one answer, and some of those answers are opposites. We are brain washed to pit opposites against themselves, but this is as pathological as trying to say that the left side of the body can not exist unless the right side of the body is annihilated. Paradoxes and contradictions are no such things, if we would only allow data to co-exist the same way as we allow up and down, left and right, black and white, to co-exist next to each other, without there being a fight to the death.
Were the baby boomers responsible? Well yes, and -- no, at the same time.
Certain Globalist Elites tricked us the same way that the Nazis tricked the Germans. Those Elites just so happened to be mostly baby boomers. Fact. Does this mean ALL baby boomers were a part of this? NO. Most of the baby boomers were fed right into the scam as well by way of the method of problem, reaction, solution.
Seeing as the baby boomer elites got the idea from the Nazis, then its safe to say that the Elite baby boomers inherited the idea via indoctrination within their inner circles, the same way that the general public is indoctrinated into its own belief systems. One can not deceive the masses without also deceiving ones self in the process, both destines are combined and act as two sides to one whole.
So if they got it from the Nazis, then the Nazis had to have gotten it from somewhere too, right? Yes, they did.
The Banksters who our founding fathers fought tooth and nail to keep out of America. We lost. We were told we won. And the Bankster threat was shoved to the back pages of the history books.
This on-going scam has been running and evolving since ancient Babylon. However, to keep things simple for the average brain washed complacent zombie who desires to wake up -- generalizing it at baby boomers, banksters, elites, illuminati or whatever buzzword you wanna use (its irrelevant which one is used) is the first baby step to get these grown-up toddlers walking straight, metaphorically speaking.
So on these various levels of the fractal from corporations and private interest groups all the way down to the level of the individual human being -- whomever is responsible for doing what in this mess, is exactly that. Responsible. Not a blame. If its a fact that Persons A-B-C contributed to situation X-Y-Z which resulted in Consequences 1-2-3, then this is simply just data. And it needs to be viewed objectively in order to have any full understanding of our dilemma. Because without understanding, we're fucked.
We can decide what noose to stick around whose neck or what jail cell to toss who into and throw away the key, later on. For now, we need to deal with the more immediate concerns, which are -- getting as many people on the same page as possible, so we can all decide what steps we all can take to move forward towards the overall goal. That goal being -- the full awakening and subsequent freedom of the human race.
Because world peace isn't everyone getting along and dancing around a camp fire holding hands. World peace is respecting someone's right to hate you. So that this respect avoids things such as war and genocide. So that people can have their opinions about others, without the need to get physically violent. So that "fuck you, dickface!" is where it ends. and things don't get dangerous.
So we can have the ability to choose to work with who we get along with, and stay the hell away from the people we don't. Thats the main thing. Without this respect, then just what the fuck are we all fighting for? Without this respect, history only repeats. We defeat the Illuminati and then OOPS! The freedom fighters just setup a new dick-tatorship, as always happens.
We need to end the cycle of bullshit.

Nice work, kinda reminds me of the novel Fight Club "why do we buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like"

That question is easily answered. Because the world has been hijacked by a minority of ultra-wealthy assholes, who have allowed corporate interests to take over our so-called educational facilities and main stream media, resulting in the narrowing of the minds of the population to reduce peoples capacity for discernment, critical thinking and individuality.
Now is the time to either step out of that box to see the bigger picture, or we face annihilation.
These ultra-wealthy are of kin to crack smoking high rolling 3 year olds that are so addicted to power, they're more than happy to destroy themselves and take everyone else with them. The question is:Β are we going to let them?
If not, then its a matter of going through the process of undoing all of the psychological and emotional abuse programming that has been inflicted on us since the day we were able to form our first static memories in our brains. It means having the balls to admit that most things we know about most things is wrong and that our lives have been a lie. But to admit that and face that with the sense of joy that a blind man feels when his sight is finally restored, and not with a sense of feeling betrayed and helpless.
As it stands, humanity has a collective case of Stockholm syndrome.
I think that about covers it, yes?

Brave New World, anyone?
But whatever you might try will not work in the way you want, whatever you'd try to think, the Alphas have conditioned to do so. THIS only serves the purpose to divert forces even more.
So if you really want to make a difference, stop doing it.

Say that one into a mirror. The greatest weapon of the Illuminati (or whatever you want to call them, its all just buzz words anyways) is to make you think that they have all of the power and that there is nothing you can do about it. They aren't all powerful. But for as long as we think they are, we give them our power.
I respect your right to believe whatever you want, but I would highly suggest you do some more research and obtain a more holistic view. In my humble opinion, your view is every bit as narrow as those of new agers or religious fundamentalists. Which is all a part of the trap. The matrix. The holographic false reality. The illusion. So more power to you, as your ignorance will be to no one else's peril but your own, and I respect your right to steer your own personal course right off of a cliff. I've no right to tell you what to do, but we do both have the right to our opinions.
So, I'll go on believing you're naive, you can go on believing I'm in league with the devil, and we'll just agree to disagree. Thank you, drive thru.
By the way -- if you really want to make a difference, encourage people to be individuals instead of group think clones. Even if their individuality is the death of them (not saying it will be, but individuality does have its perils in a world that wants us to be conformist clones). They were born original, they don't deserve to die as a copy. Anything rooted in group-think is doomed to failure, because its not sovereign. So encourage people to be themselves to the fullest and stop barking conformist orders. That is, if you really want to make a difference. If not, then completely disregard my suggestion.

Ahem. OK.
Unsorted thoughts:
- I don't think you are the devil (or some buzzword person in that general direction), I rather think that you are more naive than I am, because you believe to know something about the amount of power some people you most likely don't know. Or , if you knew them and their power, it would because you're one of them. In which case I wouldn't what you're trying to achieve.Β
- you are hopefully not THAT naive to believe that any information you find on the Internet is trustworthy. So how exactly, do you suggest, should I do some more research and obtain a more holistic view?
- "the matrix" - that's interesting: How would you (be able to) tell whether an illusion is a holographic false reality or a real one - while living within it? I'd really lurrve to know
- "making a difference" - in what? Between what? I usually don't care much about how I fit in, I'm myself within the limits I find convenient to a have for a comfortable live to lead. That includes interesting work and enough money for all-day use. But going out of your way to "make a difference" is just plain bullshit. And contra productive because it hurts you in one way or another instead of helping you.
THEREFORE, MY ADVICE TO EVERYBODY IS TO NOT TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE NO MATTER WHAT!
Instead, fit in as much as needed, then be yourself!
- "So more power to you, as your ignorance will be to no one else's peril but your own" - that's not more power to me, just more peril. -_-
- "I've no right to tell you what to do" - Exactly. Therefore I don't take commands from anybody whom I have not given the right to give commands to me (like my boss, because he pays me to do what he says). Trying to bait me with "if you really want to make a difference" and such won't work.Β
- But that's not the reason why I will completely disregard your suggestions (all of them, as much as they could be considered as suggestions. The reason why everybody should completely disregard your suggestions is that you're doing it wrong: You don't get people to be individuals by giving them commands, trying to make them do what YOU want. That's like fighting for peace or fucking for virginity.
- besides "Anything rooted in group-think is doomed to failure," - oh how wrong that is: Ever heard the word "brainstorming"? It's a strong tool. As I said: FIT IN AS MUCH AS NEEDED, THEN BE YOURSELF!
So much for now,
Have fun - I'll have for sure

What both of us have, are belief systems. Both of us have the right to them. I've no desire to convince you of anything, nor to be convince of anything. So do as you wish and think as you'd like, and I'll do the same. I always have fun, glad you do as well
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, sadly, I have the desire to convince you to not try to convince others to do something that could hurt them.
But I seem to fail here. So little fun for me this time...

Well, I do agree that there is danger and risk, it really can't be avoided at this point and the truth of it is a sad irony. You see, the most dangerous thing one can do in this world, is to give ones self the right to their own perspective, while simultaneously respecting the same rights of others. This is because we do live in a totalitarian society. So yes, the thought police could get you if you do not subscribe to the prescriptions of the enforced doctrines of the society in which we live. Critical thinking is a crime these days. Hell, just have the balls to ask a question in a classroom (eg: high school, grade school, etc) and you could not only get suspended or expelled, but there are kids who have gotten arrested or put on medication (these have been in the most extreme cases). The other part of the irony, is that if we "do nothing" and "say nothing" as you suggest, its like letting roaches breed in the walls. Ignoring it won't make it go away. So if we allow society to make us its bitch and we do our best to conform to it (and ignoring it and doing nothing is conformity, it is complacency and it is consent to being abused), then by default this is suicide on a global scale. On that path, there might not be a world left to sit here and debate about. However if we have the balls to be ourselves, to ask questions, to think critically, to use our own discernment and respect each others rights to do the same -- things will get better in the long run, but we might risk paying a heavy personal price for it.
Even science is just a religion pretending not to be, only there are more harsh penalties for blaspheming against the pharisees of science than there are the traditional religious ones. So I'm afraid that on this I'll have to do more than just agree with you -- I'm going to have to admit that your entire quest in general was doomed to fail before you even got started. Everything you want to convince me of would have a dangerous effect if you could convince me, and a dangerous effect if you could not. So no matter what, you are doomed to the same outcome. So you may as well take your own advice on your own dogma, and do nothing. By your own view -- you're only making it worse by doing anything. Which means, not trying to convince me of anything is actually the best course of action according to your own belief systems.
Whether or not you have fun is a matter of personal choice and perspective, so have fun even in light of all of your imminent failures. You've nothing left to lose.
Have a good day
