... I want to make others understand that technology can liberate us from scarcity.


I honestly think that technology alone can not liberate us from anything.

Scarcity is only a matter of geography (location).

The only thing that can really liberate us from the huge uneven distribution of wealth is to break free from unhealthy greed and egoism.

Without greed and egoism, there would be no wars, no hunger, no scarcity, no insane power.

But that's only my point of view, of course Smiley

That's a beautifully shot and edited video.

I'm inclined to agree with the general idea, and although I think the tree scientist's view may be a little exaggerated he certainly speaks a lot of truth.

I was pleasantly surprised that the film didn't stray too far into "conspiracy land". Although some people believe that the current system is run by some sort of shadowy NWO-style group, that conspires to actively control human behaviour, my personal view is a little different:


Thanks!  Smiley

You should take his words with a grain of salt of course, as you should with everything. Stay skeptical, critical thinking is a rare trait that you should cherish.

In our global village we do not think critically enough anymore, we are bombarded with trends information that slowly as captivated us into submission. Media is used to manipulate mass society into passivity. Creating more and more information, and less and less meaning. I think there is an underlying problem with how we perceive what is important for us. The worst thing is that we were warned about our self inflicting dystopia by many writers and intellectuals for many decades. We have ended up in a strange hybrid of their visions of the future and a shadow group or elite is not an unthinkable think to have in a society that is passive and submits to a centralised machine that it feeds.

Like is said in my clip I think we it's time for a new language, I believe in Bitcoin being that language hence me posting it on this forum.  

The language I used for my analysis accompanying this video is the language of Intervention design.

It is the theory and praxis of designing for the new world without drifting away from the old world too far. Intervention design is design for a rapidly changing society. Normal’ design leads to solutions based on old models and way of thinking, thus solving symptoms instead of the real problem.

Intervention design tries to intervene between both worlds by first investigating how the problem would be solved using 'normal’ design, then investigating how the problem would be solved using new ideas and insights by stripping the problem to the core.

I have found that more people are waking up to the reality that the world is an echo chamber by design and we are held captive by corporate enslavement and we enslave ourselves.

The world is only divided by matter of interpretation, I think living in our time is a fascinating experience. I want to make others understand that technology can liberate us from scarcity.

I have a presentation I have to prepare for tomorrow, thank you again everyones reading this for your words, thoughts and impressions.  Smiley If you could help me share my message I would be forever grateful.

Kind regards,

Seven.

The cage is sin (mistake making). It is collapsing in on you. You feel it more and more the older you get. When you are dead, it has collapsed completely, but you don't feel it anymore.

I think it's more likely that this "cage" we live in is an organic byproduct of the capitalist system itself, and no-one really has control over it. As the voice-over states in the beginning of the film, it's a self-perpetuating effect based on money.

Hello community, our drugged up world has many repetitive historical cycles that never end. Unstable times that are happing today are a reflection of the nebula of deceit that is our modern day Soma. I made this as part of my graduation project. The main goal of my project was to capture 21st century human society by analysing it and then translating this information into visual storytelling. Using this video to help accelerate the global discussion on humanities future, I really want to share it with you. I noticed, people have been desensitises by smashing amounts of information. By using storytelling I tried to explain how the world works and explain the concept of the cage we were born into, and expose the bars that keep us in our imaginary box. A speech taken from the intriguing movie "My dinner with Andre" combined with footage that I shot last September in Croatia. The changes that have taken place in the last 50 years alone resulted in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning. We are indoctrinated, we are bombarded with information to pull us into submission. By pursing truth as a goal in my video, I tried to expose the fabric of our collective enslavement. Modern day culture is akin to a factory producing standardised cultural goods that are used to manipulate mass society into passivity. The culture industry undermines our individual choice and it fosters a powerful distraction which ultimately destroys any meaningful appreciation of reality.

So the question arises, how do we get out of this mess? How bad does it need to get before we wake up?


Our modern history is really very short, maybe 100-150 years and already so many thing happened like 2 world wars, economic crisis, empires collapsed, political systems collapsed (Communism) etc.
I'm sure that we will still see many changes in our lives but we can't expect that everything will be perfect during our own life, it's to short time.
I believe than humankind will eventually live in the ''ideal society'' but before that we will still have to pass through many social problems, corruptions, even wars.
You can manipulate people for some time but not forever.

I think we need to change our economics model: "Search for the best option for all the participants, instead of the best option for one individual". And please, stop the nonsense of "Communist ideas", I'm talking about a win-win situation for all the participants.
