Happiness

in life •  7 years ago 

I had to share this clip here, simply because in just over 4 minutes, it explains modern society better than just about anything else Ive seen :)

So funny and sad. I love this video. Good to see you on steemit, @maxigan! I'd love to have you on the show to talk about 5G whenever you're free.

happy to brother, send me an email via thecrowhouse and I will send you my skype details

I'm the happiest I have been all morning watching this cartoon.. Lol .. I think my kind should see it. This could be mis-understood. Happiness is knowing this is optional and but it really is only optional when we see it for what it really is - repulsive. The mouse trap ending gives me an idea; this is good to share on Mondays! Lol

Hi @jamesc it is horrible to see how most of the people are on the mouse trap in society, following every rule of the stablishment because unconsiously they believe it is the way things are. The good thing is that people that are crazy enough to think they can change the world, they actually do it. And you as an early adopter and developer on blockchains, know more than many people and have really experienced this phrase by Steve Jobs.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Yes, Completely optional.. Though a sustainable community (perhaps quite small) might be necessary where people share resources. It just takes a transition and a community. Chemtrails are the only thing that is not optional in many places, mostly everything else can be fixed for ones self and ones community..

I couldn't agree more! I've written SO much on this, and know that when we start to see more small communities pop up, and they are seen to work, that we will finally have an alternative to present to people.

Ive been building, teaching, and living off-grid for 12 years now and hope to one day start a small off grid Biotecture based community somewhere in Europe.

I also have a vision that I am just starting to manifest which is to use the blockchain and a new ecoVillage coin that could fund the build of an entire small community and allow Very cheap buy in's as well as a lifetimes security.. Im still looking for a programmer to help me with this.

If you are interested to read more about that, i wrote a post a couple of weeks ago explaining the vision!.

When we've had many of the stresses and fears removed from our lives, and given real security, then we can easily be in the now!

nice to meet you @jamesc!

Stay in the now..

Hi @jamesc! I don't really have any way to reach you, so I'll keep commenting & mentioning on stuff old & obscure enough that others most likely won't stumble across it haha!

I wanted to let you know about a project I started last summer, called @tribesteemup, which is selectively curated, automated voting bot, supporting folks creating content about anarchy, health, diet, consciousness, peaceful parenting, and all the other facets of the paradigm shift. It's now up to 35k SteemPower, and a curation trail of 36 accounts, and we're giving over 150 creators something of a "guaranteed income", a lower boundary that isn't $0, for their content.

I already know (from seeing your votes and resteems) that you support many of the bigger names among the tribe, and just wanted to bring the project into your awareness. I don't want to "pitch" you anything per se, but obviously if you felt like supporting the project with a delegation or following the curation trail, I and everyone else would be super grateful. If it doesn't fit into your flow, it's all good, and I am still extremely grateful for all the support that you already give to our community!

I found you on keybase.. talk to you soon.

This is amazing...the cartoon version of They Live:)

Sums the world up in 4.16.

Oh my goodness! What a classic ending! This is exactly whats happened and the ending!! Its exactly where we are!

Well made!

Nice and funny video,but i fell sad after watching.
Thanks for the post.

Fantastic as it is so true but done funny enough that the average person might actually clue onto the hints at their own life. Makes me almost wish I had facebook again as I would of shared it on there. But then again my life is much better without FB.

It's beautifully animated. Thanks for sharing.

Just like us, that's well done.

That was a lot of drawing for four minutes.

I especially loved the Absolut happiness.

Unfortunately for us little mice, we missed the part where advertisers took away our happiness, in order to sell us "happiness". We have been so long under the spell of tell-a-vision, that we just accept that we aren't good enough, we aren't pretty enough, we aren't deserving, but if you pay $99 / mo. we can give that to you.

How did we ever let them tell us how we don't measure up?
If we understood just how much advertisers are putting us down,
we would never buy products from that company again, and find and put the ad director to the firing squad.
