LSD, human beings, and the future...

helluva post, swoosh. just wanted to let u know I read all of it carefully

 

I completely agree with the original post, I should spend more time outside enjoying nature and the company of others. For too long I've spent way too much time in front of the computer. Although I do see the place for computers, movies, books and some TV shows, moderation is key and so many of us spend way too much time distracting ourselves from how amazing life could be.

 

Mhm, moderation is the key for a logical reason: because life is better with diveristy and the only way diversity can be acheived is be moderating individual aspects of life so that a diverse bunch can be fit into the life we have

 

I am really aware of this, the media, the tv, internet, everything is working to keep us isolated at home, having relationships with people that are not there, its a parallel world, not real, not human, everything is getting so unpersonal, the facebook, people that cant spend the night without checking their facebook profile, because they are meeting people, no man, get out, talk to real people, see their eyes, feel their presense.

On this crazy new wave of entertaintment, you can rent a movie sitting on your couch, you can get movies by mail, you can read a book in something that is not a book, and if you dont like it, you can buy another one from where you're standing, and where is the going to the library?, talking to the person there, hearing what he has to say bout a book or about anything, I dont like this.

I remember when I was young, waiting until the weekend to get to the record store and see what they got, the people around, more people like me, wanting to hear something, to get want they want, buying a record, reading the info on the cover, the exitement of playing it for the first time, playing it looking at the cover, it was different, now, what you got, you can buy the song, or the whole album, online, or you can buy as much as your wallet allow you to buy. No exitement at all.

Now is easy to get things, but not as good as it used to be to have them. you can have an ipod full of music, but, did you feel exited to get each one of those albums?, you can have 300 friends on your virtual world, but when you need one, he is there with u?, can u touch him or her? can u feel his presence?, can you go outside and talk, can you say "this is a delicious ice cream honey, try it".

The tv, we are filling our head with the life of somebody else, living their lives, not ours, the tv should be something to help us grow, not live a fantasy life, something that is not real like the so called Real tv show, that is not real, its a casting, the geek, the blonde, the brunette, the wannabe of the school, its a formula. nothing is real anymore.

I saw something the other day, zapping i got across the tv show called "The girl of the playboy mansion", well, they were meeting people on a mall, signing posters amd the people were taking pics, on the show one of them said " well its nice to see a family all together and to know that their children see us as a role model", and one of the little gilrs screamed "Kendra I wanna be like you", and the creepiest thing is that families were in the row, little kids with calendars of them, waiting to get an autograff, do you thing that is real?, maybe it is, maybe not, you're learning something from it?. do you need that crap on your head?.

 

you all need to relax those matrix minds of yours ... you know that dont you?..

the greatest form of englightenment is not needing to know the future....but knowing that it already is..

 

a saying that i am fond of from my years as a Marine...

"semper gumby"

always flexable. humans are very resiliant and adaptive. I expect change, and welcome it. It will never corrupt who I am though.

 

I think the tide is going where it's going, and we are becoming more and more technospiritual. Often when I'm high, there's a 16 bit theater playing out in my mind's eye, and I don't really play Super Nintendo all that often now.

 

Thank you for all the great replies, certainly a lot to absorb..
