Want to improve your relationships?

The title of this video is inadequate.  It is partly about anger, but mostly about love and relationships.  Some useful perspective on these concepts that everyone seems to think they understand so well, despite much evidence to the contrary.

On the government shutdown

Many people won't understand this, as they are too indoctrinated/dependent upon these ancient systems...but this is further evidence of the irrelevance/obsolescence of both politics and money. To the extent we keep using them, we are damning ourselves to repeat history over and over, as they are inferior problem-solving tools compared to science and technology. So we can either keep the current model based on controlled scarcity, ignorance, and stratification (which most people seem to be unhappy with), or we can build a new one designed to increase abundance, freedom, and equality through intelligent resource management.  www.thevenusproject.com

WSJ: Robots May Revolutionize China's Electronics Manufacturing
When we have the technology to do things more efficiently, productively, and safely, then forcing people to work instead is a stupid form of slavery that is holding us all back.  Technological unemployment is a GOOD thing; it is the main point of technology and it represents progress.  What is causing MOST problems in the world is that our primitive political and monetary systems are irrelevant and unsustainable, but are perpetuated by those in power.  Change is the only constant; and those who fear it will always be afraid.  If we don't change, we will be changed.

Brilliant Short Film

If I could make films, I'd make one like this.  It's short, poignant, and speaks to all people.  Its prime point of appeal is "Game of Thrones", but really it's about all forms of entertainment.

Intervention

To those who still believe they live in a democracy, did you vote for this?  Did you even know about it?  Don't take my word for it, look it up.  If this was somehow for our benefit, they would promote it.  The fact that the media is not covering it should tell you something.  Historically, this is not a good sign.  Secrecy is only ok if someone is planning a surprise party; in most other cases it is used to hide deviance.  Government secrecy is not for our protection; it is for theirs. 

Would you stay in a relationship with someone who lies, cheats, steals, is violent, and sells you out?  Then why believe in a government like that?  Parties/individuals are irrelevant; they are all subject to the same corrupt system.  They fail us continuously, but pander and tell us they love us.  We're in an abusive, neglective, submissive relationship, and this act is a red flag.  What is it called when someone keeps doing the same thing expecting different results?

People only stay in unhealthy relationships when they don't know there are better options out there.  Fortunately, there are "plenty of fish in the sea".  The Venus Project, Open Source Ecology, Atlas Initiative Group, The Zeitgeist Movement, and many more.  Support whichever one appeals to you.  Unlike government, they are trying to build a better future using modern methods and means for the benefit of all people, not just a select few.  These globally conscious groups recognize that some tools perpetuated for centuries are no longer working, and are holding us back.  It is not a revolution; it's an evolution.  It is time to change, or be changed.

The STOCK Act

How Congress Quietly Overhauled its Insider Trading Law

How convenient and awesome! If you happen to be a wealthy and powerful corporation. Proof that politicians CAN come together and work quickly, but only when serving the needs of their owners. Please stop thinking in terms of government; clearly they're not thinking in terms of us.

"No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it." - Einstein

Politicians don't know anything about communication, agriculture, technology, biology, behavior, etc. Don't you think those would be useful when making decisions for millions of people? If you want to fix things, first you need the proper tools. #TheVenusProject
