Change Manners

I don't like the popular manners of today: Having your elbows on the table, dressing (if you dress nicely you should do it because you want to), waiting to eat until others are ready (because I take so long to eat), being expected to communicate in a certain way (some ways of communication are easier to understand, but some people just prefer to communicate in their own way).

Why we don't need rules

We don't need rules because we all benefit from doing good. If someone doesn't do good, it is because they can't because they know they are doing wrong and are just hurting themselves and others. So they need more love from others, not less. We can teach people to be motivated to help. How do we do that? We teach them how they can help that works with their style. If a kid who thinks they don't want to help anyone, then teach them to help themselves because that will help others.

Philosophy Show Mission Statement

The internet is so cool!!! You can monitor the news, see cool videos of all kinds, and keep in contact with all kinds of people all over the world. The coolest thing about the internet though, is that we can now use it to figure out what truth is. Once we know the truth, we will have the ability to make the best decisions as a society to become self sustainable and move gracefully forward in our development. My belief is the best way to arrive at the truth is for everybody to have their very own philosophy show. If we all shared what we believe in all the philosophical and political issues, we would would eventually arrive at the truth.

It doesn't matter what you beleive as long as you express what you beleive

Everybody should share what they believe, regardless of what they believe. Everybody deserves to be heard and have their beliefs seriously commented on. My favorite thing to do is discuss an idea with someone who disagrees with me, because it stimulates my mind the most. When I have to think hard to convince someone who doesn't believe the same as I do, I feel like I am excersizing my humanness the most and living life to the fullest. The things we can do with our bodies are amazing, but it is our minds that truly set us apart from the animal world and will set us free. It is in this vain that I would be more interested in watching a video of a person selling an idea that I disagree with than seeing someone rehash an idea that I already believe. I wouldn't be interested in watching their video just so I could argue with them. I would try to imagine for a moment that what they are saying is the truth, and then I would come up with questions for them. They could answer my questions and in so doing they could explore and develop what they believe, and I could understand them more. Then I could explain why I believe in riencarnation and they could ask me some specific questions to clarify what I said to them. Then we could try to point out the weaknesses in each others logic and perhaps even arrive at some kind of cohesive agreement that is somewhere in between. As time goes on and people watch more videos of people expressing what they believe about the issues, the debates will become more and more intelligent until we inevitibally arrive at the truth!

I imagine people of all walks of life sharing their ideas on youtube and then receiving responses from people who mostly agree with them with some added comments along with people who completely disagree with them. One persons video could create a big youtube battle between two or more people that could go on and on until one person gives up, and in doing so concedes defeat. Or the winner in the debate could be decided upon by the people who make comments on the statements of the debators. When enough people participate in the debates in all issues both political and philosophical, the truth will eventually be arrived at.

Gone are the days when people merely preach to their choirs and only manage to reafirm what they already believe. This is the way of the past when people were perfectly satisfied to agree to disagree and keep themselves stuck in conflicting paradigms. Saying we should agree to disagree sounds to me like saying that we shouldn't bother to debating the issues, because the very definition of debating an issue is trying to convince the other person to beleive as you do. I don't like the culture of non-discussion just because you know you disagree. It just perpetuates the confusion when people avoid expressing their beleifs. People even refuse to discuss issues with their own family members and this is wrong. There is only one way for the citizens of our world to arrive at one cohesive truth, and that is to discuss all of the issues, especially the controversial ones.

The truth must be revealed

We are taught is schools too much that we have arrived at all the answers in the universe, when in reality we are far from figuring the world out. Even the most common views on relatively simple sciences like geology and astronomy are still hotly debated, yet in school we are just told the currently popular idea and not encouraged to second guess it, when we should be encouraged to second guess just as much as the top scientists do.

I beleive that we could fix all the problems in the world by searching for the truth.

How to find truth

We have always been told by our great sages that the truth shall be revealed. My theory on how truth shall be revealed is to identify what exactly are the enemies of truth and what are the friends of truth. Then we kill the enemies of truth and bolster the friends of truth, and bada bing! We have truth!

We must identify the Enemies and Friends of truth

For now I say the enemies and friends of truth are: Lies and honesty, fear and bravery, and laziness and strength.

The enemies of truth and how youtube philosophy videos kill them

Lies vs Honesty - Lying is selfish and is a big waste of time for the people who are being lied to and makes everybody more and more pessimistic. I believe that deep down everybody knows that lying is bad and honesty is good, so I think that it is much easier to be honest when you are making a video for the internet than to be dishonest.

Hiding the truth is also a form a lying. One form of hiding the truth is hiding trade secrets. When people try to guard their trade secrets it may help them in their job but it stiffles the progress of our society. We should try to make each other as self sufficient as possible so we could live as efficiently as possible. People need to understand that there will always be jobs, the jobs just evolve. We need to understand that the more we evolve the more we can move forward towards utopia.

The more people who have youtube videos of themselves philosophyzing, the less likely we would be to lie and hide the truth from one another because we all know deep down that lying is bad and would never do it just for fun on the internet to the whole world.

Fear vs bravery - Fear is an enemy to truth because it discourages us to seek the truth. The best way to seek the truth is to ask someone, but we feel stupid for asking the question so we don't ask and don't get the answer. I think the main reason people don't have personal websites or ask questions or share their ideas on youtube is because they are afraid of someone giving them a nasty comment telling them they are stupid, crazy, freaky, or some other insult. That fear isn't real though because they are just words and have to power other than the power you give them. You could use a nasty insult as fuel to further your point and explain to the person something you may think they don't understand, and you can feel beneficial to them, like a teacher.

Laziness vr strength - Sloth is one of the seven sins for a reason. We need to strive if we are going to proceed. You get out of life what you put into it. The beautiful thing is to put up a video expressing yourself on youtube you don't have to try very hard, you just do it. The more videos you make the easier it becomes. That's my theory anyway.

Help Others Creatively

I's time to think and do for yourself, your ready! All styles (music, personalities, etc.) are melting together. The old farts don't understand that Chi training and dancing, stretching sore muscles and yoga, bragging and self affirmation, helping yourself and helping others, etc., are all the same things. I think people born after 1970 are the only ones capable of fully comprehending this. Open your mind to all the noises, even if you hear a lot of static, because we are the most well rounded and powerful people ever. My grandfather sure as hell couldn't do 25 pull ups, run up mountains without stopping, ride a bike for 13 hours straight, do the splits, write 10 page papers on anything in one night, comfortably relate to schizophrenics and violent drunk people, get yelled at and insulted and stay cool, understand the infinity of reality, and know the need to help all other living things. If you don't dedicate your life to help others you will be a cancer cell so you will get it. If you are too lazy then summon the demons who will make you sick if you don't, or the fairies who will make you irie if you do, I do both. Most of these thoughts came from my own mind, mainly what those new age books did for me was give me the confidence to spread my own thoughts. If you send funky vibes at me for bragging and naturally wanting attention I will just get stronger, so do it if you feel the need, I can take it. If everybody could brag without being shot down than we will all be more motivated to reach new heights. I love arrogant people, if I feel patronized by them it's my own fault. I love you and I want to help your cause, because if I don't I feel like HELL. of fully comprehending this, because when I was little

How to be Diplomatic

Diplomacy is a learned skill. If you can be diplomatic you can put anyone on your side. Present every statement in the form of a question: 'Don't you think John is sort of right?' 'no!' 'why?' not: 'John is right' 'No he's not!' 'Yes he is' Make the person feel smart. Never say their wrong or don't understand. Always have facts to backup your arguments.

Hide nothing!

This country has so many problems because we don't communicate. One of the reasons that we don't communicate is because we all write each other off as loonies and decide not to talk to each other; we aren't interested in each other. This is a side affect of having a one-sided consciousness, only caring about one sort of thing, for example: People who stay in cities and work all the time, as opposed to outdoors hermits who never work. Or monks opposed to politicians and vice versa. These vast differences in lifestyle is natural and not to be condemned, but thinking that your way is the best and other people should be like you, is when polarized (one sided) consciousness becomes harmful. Like certain people preaching their views to others, and ignoring the common denominator between them and others, as if other views aren't worth note. Or people who think getting a computer job for $45,000 is a smarter thing to do than dropping out of school and being a ski bum, outdoors guide, or world bicycle traveler; because they are too emersed in the financial gain and 'security' (which really means addiction to warmth, caffeine, sugar, television, clean clothes, a bed, warm showers, etc..), and laziness. This 'ethnocentrism' forms barricades because of their disinterest in learning and habit of control. This polarized-ethnocentrism is the cause of the environmental, and foreign relations problems of our country, and our own interpersonal problems. So we all must be interested in each other, and everything else in the world. One of the signs that we aren't communicating is that we put each other down without saying why. For example: The militia movement saying they are arming up because they don't trust the government, but not explaining why. Another way communication stammering hurts people is their false security in secrets; for example people who are suppressed, like marijuana smokers being afraid to admit it to the public, as if they are going to be suppressed.

Staying calm in a crazy world

staying calm in a crazy world is a chore to explore deep u so many new things hitting our society head on kids changing paradigms of all sorts in a single life time. Horse and buggy to spacecraft tells you were in the midst of a time warp and we haven't even hit over drive yet how can I tell? look at the possibilities today we haven t even harnessed, designer babies cerebral computer chips speaking with cars and terra forming mars everything's melting together its clear we can do whatever we want once we grow pot for paper use water for gas it will all last unless we pollute our planet to death or kill every thing with nuclear bombs. but it looks like our alien brothers are helping us out for I have heard many a testimony from navy sailors speaking of big black triangle or oval with bright lights taking missiles and melting warheads maybe from accidental activation they are helping us with no hesitatation speaking to us in books painting a brave new world we are about to realize the great mystery the answer to your wildest imagination communication with spirits wildfire spreads when all grass fickle's reach a certain temperature and its clear we are entering critical point now with knowledge. so many new things hit a time warp

The Simple Life

As we are living in a world that is changing at an unprecedented speed so we need to have a philosophy about how we are going to maintain control over ourselves and stay socially responsible enough to be a possitive force of conservating all the good things that we have as well as a force for positive transformation.  We don't have enough respect for ideas about slowing down and contributing to environmental and social ills compared to driving the economy.  There are certain things about the economy that need to change. It should be looked at socially acceptable to live a simple life. Examples of living a simple life are, living in your car, living with your parents, riding a bike around town, and creating a self sufficient life style. 

Simple life is good for the economy

Living a simple life in the end will drive the economy because

HOW TO HAVE A RELIGIOUS CONVERSATION WITH OUT MAKING IT CONFRONTATOINAL

If you speak your mind to a fundamentalist you are bound to have differences in opinion. and the way to woo them and keep them from feeling frustrated is to keep smiling, laughing, never show weakness, for that should be reserved for your friends, and keep reminding them that no matter what we will all go to heaven, and we all want the same thing. When bringing basic differences in doctrine together like the trinity, God, and reincarnation, and idol worship, an overview and historical retracing is necessary. For all of these beliefs need to be not only respected but believed. Their truth is self evident in the millions of believers. For example, the trinity issue. Muslims fervently disregard the trinity, but only because they think Christians put too much emphasis on it, if you look at the trinity as what it is: The different levels of awareness of God, and then acknowledge that it is the importance in remembering God that is most important, there doesn't have to be an argument. Different religions are just different styles, there is nothing wrong with different styles, that is the beauty of the world, the diversification there doesn't have to be a "difference" in ideology an even there needs to be a reconciliation and honest forthright agreement and clarification between al religions in order to move on to the next age.
