end of the world is pokemon go.
    #23436182 - 07/12/16 09:30 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

So this morning between work and driving to get two teeth root canals there was four car wreaks on the way to there. Three of them because they were trying to catch pokemon while driving. On the way home i passed a park and one of malls in town at both places people not just teenagers or children like 50 year men and women packed full. Playing the dam game in the road, blocking traffic.

I believe the moment the human race is to busy playing in a flake world made by man to property adress the real phyical world then its game over. We lose it all. Im seeing this happenings as we speak.
A new cival war is coming people who take pokemon go seriously and the rest of the world's people.

That's kinda funny because I went to the dentist today to get a cavity filled and my dentist was talking about how she almost got hit by a car while walking and playing it :lol:

then there is the new sport of drone racing, etc.
anything to ignore,
real world problems,
but it's ok...
civilization has had a few thousand years to derail,
the few good steps evolution took between 'animal'/primate/and a potentialy conscious being.

It seems 'the chickens are slowly coming home to roost';
evidence suggests the tipping point was passed,
somewhere between 30 and 15 years ago.

The death of coral reefs, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, the island of plastic in the pacific, are a few of the signs it's beyond putting 'back in the box'.

This video below is interesting. I don't have time to watch all of the video now (have paused at 3:24), but what I have seen has brought forth in me stuff I want to share in this thread. What he is saying sounds very similar to what the film The Matrix was showing. That there is coming this great seductive enterprise to have people plug into a virtual reality. A transmumanist reality, because this is the elite's agenda. They want us enslaved to this. Literally plugged in, and controlled

Now it is VERY interesting to dig that BOTH the most influential people of the psychedelic movement spanning the generations from the 60s to the 80s/90s/00s and onwards were Timothy Leary and Terrence Mckenna, and guess what...? They were both psychedelic transhumanists!! Could it be so that this was an infiltration of these ideas to push in this vision into the psyches of millions of impressionale young psychedelic experiencers? I think so. The whole '2012' sht was this dream that technology was gonna save us

Now in order to get this vision going, they must make the natural world, and our own sensual bodies, and minds, seem dull UNLESS hooked into--at the moment 'metaphorically'--their technocratic matrix. This is not meaning total anti-technology. But the understanding that there has to be a critical understanding of the game being played here by those behind the scenes.

Also, the maker of this video is Christian, and all of that needs questioning also

Questioning is the key

50,000 years ago people lived in small groups and they all knew each other, and shared equally in so far as possible.

They were hunter gatherers and had minimal possessions.
with the exception of the 'potlatch' indians (and a few others) it was not till the invention of agriculture that inequality really became a regular part of human social structure. Warfare doesn't happen till expanding population 'leads' groups to go from extended family to clan.

It is an interesting subject.

When people are tied very intimately to the natural environment, and know their neighbors by name, they tend to be fairly pleasant.

As soon as they begin to manipulate the natural environment, beyond burning a small field to plant a few tubers, and actually begin to store surplus, less pleasant tendencies begin to emerge.

It doesn't have to do with anything else. Animals in zoos are pathetic. Humans put themselves in a zoo, and then managed to fool themselves that they were clever and had done something wonderful.

Every culture and period in history has different zoos, and the folks in them that get the better treatment tend to think they are great. But for thousands of years men, in middle & poorer classes have gladly taken up weapons to hack each other to bits all over the planet. No subtle plots or fancy electronic conditioning was necessary all this time.

When rats are over crowded in a laboratory, violence and fights increase. Biology is simple in some ways

Now the much of the planet has become a human zoo, and the surroundings polluted, such that fish, for example are no longer really safe to eat.

Even if some people wanted to return to simpler ways, they would have great difficulties; as humans have lost at least 3 essential 'things': their knowledge of nature, real physical fitness and sharp senses necessary for life in the wild.

for me the trouble with the 'choice' of the either hunter gather OR agricultureargument where the former is idealized and the latter demonized is that it is a self-defeating idea, because obviously it is not ever realistic that we could go back to a hunter gatherer form of life style, because for one there are too many of us, and so that leaves us with the 'oh shit what now then' cynicism where we can only criticize now and big-up some distant past

ALSO what this idea always misses is that there was also a transitory Horticulture which was not an abuse of the land and community but a way to work with nature for everyone's including other species benefit, abundance,and this is what its modern version of Permaculture is all about and is a great way for us all to look into and begin doing. It is the understanding that nature is intelligent and learning from that so as to work with nature instead of against it
Quote:


"When religions cease to obliterate trees in order to build temples or human artifacts, and instead generalize love and respect to all living systems as a witness to the potential of creation, they too will join the many of us now deeply appreciating the complexity and self-sustaining properties of natural systems, from whole universes to simple molecules."

-Bill Mollison, Permaculture: A Designer's Manual

- - -  that was a long sentence.
To me the question is not is it negative or as you say ‘self defeating’ or ‘cynical’, but is it true?
So that leaves open the question of how accurate is our knowledge of hunter gatherers?

my references are:

(there are studies from the turn of the century, before they were often overrun, as well as archaeological evidence)
==========

“ALSO what this idea always misses is that there was also a transitory Horticulture

- - - And I wonder, where is the evidence / references for this idea?


= = = =

Of course the argument or point I am attempting to make, is metaphorical. There are of course conspiracies, but to me they are NOT the fundamental issue.
Imagine a  person who comes to the emergency room, all covered with scratches, and the doctors are shouting: 'He needs a transfusion, get a couple of pints of plasma!" … but then they turn him over on the gurney and see a knife in his back, and scream: "Nix that!Get a gallon of blood!", thinking to themselves: ‘I wonder if he will make it?’ The scratches are like conspiracies. Civilization itself, and it’s ills I have detailed previously are the knife wound and it’s hemorrhaging.

I think one has to be a little out of touch to think the megacities of the world today with tens of millions of people are a sane environment for primates, or that they are the result of some conscious conspiracy. It is perhaps sad, but that’s 'what is', ‘as far as I can tell’.
And these cities are only a more obvious manifestation of the underlying cancer, to continue a medical metaphor.
Of course, I feel, a pessimistic view, is no justification for bad behavior. I feel one can still make an attempt to make moral and responsible choices.

DOesn't seem any different from the accidents people have on their phones prior to this.

It gets people out of the house and apparently encourages socialization. So I guess it is a win.

zzripz you might find this book useful, as it seems a topic that interests you. I have not read it.

"Who Rules the World?" Hardcover – May 10, 2016
by Noam Chomsky (Author)

Hardcover: 320 pages
Publisher: Metropolitan Books (May 10, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 162779381X
ISBN-13: 978-1627793810

Amazon:

"The world’s leading intellectual offers a probing examination of the waning American Century, the nature of U.S. policies post-9/11, and the perils of valuing power above democracy and human rights

In an incisive, thorough analysis of the current international situation, Noam Chomsky argues that the United States, through its military-first policies and its unstinting devotion to maintaining a world-spanning empire, is both risking catastrophe and wrecking the global commons. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the expanding drone assassination program to the threat of nuclear warfare, as well as the flashpoints of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Israel/Palestine, he offers unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet.

In the process, Chomsky provides a brilliant anatomy of just how U.S. elites have grown ever more insulated from any democratic constraints on their power. While the broader population is lulled into apathy―diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable―the corporations and the rich have increasingly been allowed to do as they please.

Fierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, Who Rules the World? delivers the indispensable understanding of the central conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky."

-----------
also "Thinking in Systems: A Primer"
by Donella H. Meadows (Author), Diana Wright (Editor)

Amazon says:

In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, Limits to Growth―the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet― Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001.

Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute’s Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life.

Some of the biggest problems facing the world―war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation―are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.

While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner.

In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.

I actually cannot stand Chomksky and think he is a disinfo agent who led people up the garden path (not me because I was never into him) and when the biggest freakin propaganda event happened of the 21st century comes with 'so what/who cares' and other BS

I would get someone sit on his old chest and stuff the pages of his books down his :evil:throat--metaphorically speaking of course
