one with a job is just as lost as one without one. success money jobs, is how Big brother gets us. All anyone cares for. what are jobs, what is money, what is success? no matter our occupation, we are enslaved. is our sewage system up to par (where is our waste going) how do we believe in the economy? the economy was made by big brother to keep us the people in check! whatever we do (profession) we going to get ganked/exploited. every company boss religion makes a profit. their product is being overpriced they are not paying us enough they take credit. Big brother takes and takes but does not give! we are being used, told what to do on their time and simply have no say. money is the excuse for everyone to be happy mean sad.

i enjoy using the term ill advised. a lot of information the brain takes in is ill advised to us at any stage in life. the education system has kids learning math science english, before teaching us about our bodies capabilities health. since we're born we have a college picked out for us, big brother has it planned so that when youre done with school you have no clue on how to think! dumb us down! "they do not want us to take back our minds"! killing each other, money, mirrors, possessiveness, territorial, ego/sexual appetite, gender, obedience, power... they have us right where they want us, we don't know our true potential. we can be working on ourselves right now but who knows how long the journey is to oneself? take a look at what's around you, is that really you? remember your upbringing, we were told what to do left and right, we sat infront of tv's for so long? did we spend enough time outside? what is all the cool shit for? the adults at the time worked more than lived, and now we're doing the same?! nothing but distractions is what we see growing up and by the time we're of age the adults/elders are too far gone and we see the pain anger the inhuman traits of modern day humans. pay attention to what our family talks about, us with our friends, ease drop on strangers/bosses of the worlds. come on what do people talk about? NONSENSE! the media, food, fashion, entertainment, talking shit. if we have nothing nice to say lets say nothing at all! all we should be doing is sharing ideas! help one another, acknowledge everyone, say "hi" to your neighbors don't look down on anyone. stop the hatre already the jokes. humans haven't changed! what we see is what we become! make the time to learn!

“life hasn’t yet taught you to understand that our finest gift has always been curiosity” - Jose Saramago
ive observed my dog a lot more lately. i believe we relate with dogs, in most part beacause people are domesticated. louie, when unleashed, walks wherever they please. it seems as if he walks around with out thinking what is going to happen when he gets to the spot he is sniffing. he goes as far out as he wants. maybe dogs arent negative? people have this awareness way of thinking going on in any part of our lives. so is our thinking process the higher consciousness that everyone is trying to reach? again a dog needs to have an interaction with every dog they see. but dogs dont get to because of people. their owners. a dog barks at about anything, that is their language. what do we expect. we abuse them to keep them calm, the dog loves regardless. how was the domestication process? we scared them so that they bark at anything to keep them aware or hostile? so that the human reacts scare/hostile as well? as people from the generation of lost masculinity in saying that mean we are domesticated? everyday is handed to us...
“the only thing that last a whole lifetime is life itself, everything else is inevitably precarious, unstable, transient, time has taught me that one great truth” - Jose Saramago
“never identify with that feeling. Don’t define your essential self in terms of that feeling. Don’t say ‘i am depressed.’ if you want to say ‘it is depressed’ that's all right. But not: I am gloomy. You’re defining yourself in terms of the feeling. That's your illusion; that's your mistake. ” - Anthony De Mello

everythingisconnected is the name of a neighbors wifi router. when i saw this i began to overthink so i grabbed a pencil and wrote this. everythingisconnected, it truly is. humans are descendants of our ancestors of before commmon era and even further than that! obviously but research at all that was done when things were manmade, done by humans themselves. no technology, more co opperation, naturally healthy life styles. Pyramids were built, no gps, people of then were huge! the romans rolled a giant wooden horse to their enemy. they didnt need no time of vehicle to travel. the generation of lost masculinity. when was the last time we got our hands dirty. being outdoors, and i mean under the sun/moon, for more than 8 hours. if majority acknowledge jesus christ etc look at the story! the man dragged a giant cross to his grave. so ill advised so unhealthy. being healthy is the purpose of life? everyone wants to live forever. we get to a point in life when we cannot perfom functions as we did when young. that point is when we are old with many motor problems etc and it is still worth living? and when we are young they have us doing nothing! we have life reversed. should we not be doing drastically body challenging activities when we are strong? running swimming climbing etc instead of sitting in class for HOURS. sitting for hours anything anywhere. picnics, jobs, gamming, entertainment. what is life when we are doing nothing. and here i do not mean chasing a dream (occupation/profession). why try to live so long than do what you love everysingleday?! FEAR. the fear of death. when you are healthy that is when you believe the world is yours. our heart and mind have to be healthy and naturally you gain muscles. Forest Gump, universally loved, ran for 3 years 2 months 14 days 16 hours. that is a good way to get a glimpse of what i imagine and what our ancestors done. are we even allowed do that now? allowed!!? so many restrictions due to uncle sam. they want us to stay the human race of lost masculinity...

it is easier to refuse the first glass than the second; easier to refuse the second than the third; and it is very much harder for a man to keep sober who has frequently got drunk.

Before I went to college I read two books. I read a book “Moral Mazes” by Robert Jackall which is a study of how corporations work, and it’s actually a fascinating book, this sociologist, he just picks a corporation at random and just goes and studies the middle managers, not the people who do any of the grunt work and not the big decision makers, just the people whose job is to make sure that things day to day get done, and he shows how even though they’re all perfectly reasonable people, perfectly nice people you’d be happy to meet any of them, all the things that they were accomplishing were just incredibly evil. So you have these people in this average corporation, they were making decisions to blow out their worker’s eardrums in the factory, to poison the lakes and the lagoons nearby, to make these products that are filled with toxic chemicals that poisoned their customers, not because any of them were bad people and wanted to kill their workers and their neighbourhood and their customers, but just because that was the logic of the situation they were in.
Another book I read was a book “Understanding Power” by Noam Chomsky which kind of took the same sort of analysis but applied it to wider society which you know we’re in a situation where it may be filled with perfectly good people but they’re in these structures that cause them to continually do evil, to invade countries, to bomb people, to take money from poor people and give it to rich people, to do all these things that are wrong. These books really opened my eyes about just how bad the society we were living in really is.
what is the most important thing you could be working on in the world right now? and if you're not workong on that, why aren't you?
barter & trade
-possessions and/or services traded for someone elses possessions and/or services. with this sytem you'll be productive determine and human. those against this system say th cons are time consumption, goods/services may not be equally traded, and that the B&T system will become difficult to maintain. to all those that will understand, time is an illusion. to quote a poem you can find on this website "try to imagine a life without time keeping... yet all around you timekeeping is ignored" , that is my defense to the opposers that think their time will be wasted looking around to strike a deal. i'll elaborate more at the end. people have all kinds of shit now and aren't many going to college. we are hoarders all we think about is the stuff that could be ours and where to put all our stuff! and when we are in college aren't we learning many things? not only what our major is or the extra classes we need to take to get enough credits but what we learn through the experiences and people we meet. it is 2021 the world is full of stuff B&T, possessions/services.. we, people, cannot be so greedy. you help me i help you, simple. we all say life is hard in 2021, what do we think life was like back then? we have it so easy. Productive, determined, human. a day in the life of B&T we are in need of something,we gather what we can offer and hit the road (productive) we'll be in search until we have found someone to B&T with (determination)while doing all that we are living in the moment and being human due to all those we interact with getting to know those around you and far. there has to be a way to eliminate currency/moneyyyy.
Hannah Arendt
the strength of even the strongest individual can always be overpowered by the many, who often will combine for no other purpose than to ruin strength precisely because of its peculiar independence.
the first lesson of civilization is that of obedience
there are no dangerous thoughts; thinking itself is dangerous.
war has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.
revolutionaries do not make revolutions. the revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up.
only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. the masses have to be won by propaganda.

fear shapes our lives reducing our freedom- Suzanne Pharr

benny had a realization and said "all i see are apartments/buildings now". all this construction build walls, gates, fences, no trespassing, private property, dogs. anything to keep one out. to locking our vehicles making that alarm insurance sound. we already don't speak to one another. in many ways without thinking maybe we say "stay away from me, i don't want to get to know you, bye" we ignore avoid contact. many people say a natural trait to be wary of others. alert at all times is as being stuck in making a decision in our head. we block our brain from thinking its true thought by being self conscious. it does not seem right to shy away from everyone. a popular saying is to respect our elders. i begin to hesitate. in my experience, no one teaches or tells stories out of their heart. i can pass by someone, older, and not a single gesture to greet me a quick small talk piece of advice, nothing. you learn through experience right? so how does one not stay consistent with being polite, greeting many, sharing advice, togetherness? if we see so many horrendous acts would that not make us courteous, not pass down any hate. if everyone is ignoring me shouldnt i do the oppsoite and meet people i see through my day?
Slavoj Zizek
the threat today is not passivity, but pseudo-activity, the urge to "be active" to "participate", to mask the nothingness of what goes on.
what americans don't want to admit is that not only is there not a contradiction between state regulation and freedom, but in order for us to actually be free in our social interactions, there must be an extremely elaborated network of health, law, institutions, moral rules and so on.
when we are shown scenes of starving children in Africa , with a call for us to do something to help them, the underlying ideological message is something like: don't think. don't politicize, forget about the true causes of their poverty, just act, contribute money, so that you will not have to think!

every society needs these kind of sacred places because they help to instill a sense of social cohesion in the people and remind them of the passage of generations that have brought them to the present. a society that cannot remember and honor its past is in peril of losing its soul. -Vine Deloria Jr.

try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up... now try tp imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep. . . your body does not eliminate poisons by knowing their names. to try to control fear or depression or boredom by calling them names is to resort to superstition of trust in curses and invocations. it is so easy to see why this does not work. obviously, we try to know, name, and define fear in order to make it objective, that is, seperate from I. . . there was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins. look at my watch, which tells the time; it goes round, and so the world repeats itself again and again. . . how is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a GOD.
gods are real| they embody humans| but to be embodied a human must be aware and have had an awakening of higher consciousness
"try to imagine a life without time keeping. you probably can't. you know the month, the year, the day of the week. there is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. you have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. birds are not late. a dog does not check its watch. deer do not fret over passing birthdays. man alone measures time. man alone chimes the hour. and, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. a fear of time running out."
each state is a big ass prison you can't escape. the wilderness is dying out soon there will be no way out. to live we should not think. it's what we do in society and look how thats been turning out. far out in the forest our mind is free you wouldn't notice and that's the thing.
Malcolm X
“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”
George Carlin
religious political hustlers got together to try and figure out how to control people, how to keep them in line, they knew people were basically stupid and would believe anything they were told. so they announced that god had given them some comandments up on the mountain when no one was around. why they pick 10 why 10? i'll tell you why cause 10 sounds official! 10 is basis of the decimal system it's a decade it's a psychologically satisfying number. the 10 comandment was a marketing decision. i am the lord thy god thou shalt not have strange gods before me, thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain, thou shalt keep holy the sabbath. right off the bat the first 3, pure bullshit! spooky language! design to scare and control primitive people. in no way the superstitious nonsense like this apply to the lives of intelligent civilized humans in the 21st century...
