The things I’m good at, I used to only be half decent at and I never got it right the first time except for once, that’s it! Everything I think I’m good at or even half decent at today is a direct result of having screwed it up so many times in the past.
Nobody got it right their first time—nobody. No carpenter alive who swings a hammer has a thumb that hasn’t been smashed. No Wireman has a handful of fingers that haven’t been sliced. No race car driver hasn’t crashed, no judge makes the correct decision every day, no instructor answers their pupils correctly every time. Even the United States postal service will deliver a random citizens jury duty summons to your mailbox on occasion. Mistakes are non discriminatory—something we all do until we don’t.
Embrace them.
Some of my most memorable #life experiences are mistakes that I’ve made, they’re hard to forget, think about it. You don’t remember your drive to work four days ago but you remember the last time you went the wrong way on a one-way street. I don’t know how many times I lit an oven burner last month but I remember three months ago when I singed my thumb hairs in Atenas—it was the right front burner.
Embrace them. Try not to make the same mistake twice and, should you repeat it, the second should be less severe with less consequences than the first and always, always, always avoid turning your back on them. Mistakes...
have to happen.
I think a current mistake is turning your back on global warming positions and opinions based on the word of congress, some newspaper print that says “97%,” a repeat video of an ice burg breaking off in the North Atlantic or this one about polar bears struggling to find #food. The #truth is, I never paid much attention to global warming until I convinced myself it’s hotter outside today than it was when I was a kid because everything I see anymore is global #writing, it’s everywhere. Global warming, global economy, global impact, global awareness, global solutions, everything is global in 2019.
I was unaware of the psychological diversion game initiated by Bilderberg Group in 1954 who, in 1968, created an elite club of high authority, powerful, worldwide men called Club Of Rome whose purpose was to engrave “global” into humanities way of thinking. After creating a think tank designed to attract global attention, they decided to use “climate” because it’s universal and “control” because that’s the objective—climate control. They have since branched out and created emissions control, a climate emergency plan and a program for kids called climate and energy youth summits. These aren’t concerns, they’re tactics. Think—who isn’t thinking “green” these days? It’s the new black.
The other day I caught this David Icke interview posted by @weirdheadaches—thanks, weird! I was made aware of quite a few interesting arguments during that interview, I recommend watching it. The way he explained creating an illusion to cause a global reaction all in favor of the same conclusion is a form of ‘global’ control was enlightening—I never thought about it like that. I fired up the #blog and rabbit holed for a little bit and was surprised by some of the discrepancies I found.
Like the one about former US Vice President, Al Gore, saying the arctic ice will all be melted by 2013 and emphasized how that was a “conservative” estimate. Or this 2014 article published by the pentagon stating climate change causes terrorism. However, John Coleman, co-founder of The Weather Channel, claims to have evidence proving the sea is not rising, polar ice is actually increasing in size and the polar bear colony has never declined.
Smile!!
I think another mistake that needs to be embraced is kids and selfies—camera phones. You’ve had a recording device in your child’s face since their first steps as an infant until today. Think about what would happen if an infant stared at a Coca Cola can for 1,095 days (three years). Kids are so accustom to being filmed and photographed today regardless if they’re awake or not, which is a frightening thought, that by the time they learn how to tie their own shoes, they’re tying them in front of a crowd while smiling for all of the cameras in their peripheral. Camera phones made everyone...
complacent.
Give it a few more years accompanied by a couple thousand camera flashes and they’ll be teenagers. By the time a teenager realizes they can’t erase the mistakes they’ve made, they’re 40 something years old, 30 years passed by and the cameras they’ve grown to associate their #life with can prove to have damaging effects that never go away. I don’t have kids, look, I’m able to see things differently than parents see, see? The fact that all of my friends’ kids were able to operate their parents camera phone by their 1,095th day is alarming.
When the bad guy is a police officer, a high school teacher, a minister, and 13 other respectable community figures, they’re virtually impossible to detect. We can’t teach anyone, especially young kids, what they look like but we can stop familiarizing them with a camera phone long before they begin grasping its capabilities—stop plastering head shots to every.single.thing you see.
Cheese!
A 14 year old girl with 2,000 selfies in her phone isn’t normal, it’s weird, if you don’t think that’s weird, you’re weird. Let’s go back to 1990 real fast, it’s only 30 years ago. Now imagine a 14 year old girl carrying around 2,000 glossy print, 3x5, Kodak stamped, selfies. Bikinis, dresses, it doesn’t matter—selfie, selfie, selfie is the #new normal. The girls in the gyms here, in Costa Rica, what a trip!! They’re not much older, maybe 20 years old but that’s my point, they’re too comfortable with selfies and camera phones.
The 20’ish year old girls come to the gyms here fully clothed in spandex pants, a shirt and a long sleeve zip-up. I saw one girl exercise long enough to get soaked in sweat, which isn’t difficult on the equator, strip down to her sports bra to take selfies in the mirror, on the gym floor, while swinging her sweaty hair around—true #story! Sometimes I want to take a picture so I can show Puravida but that’s what started this whole delusion—camera phones. That’s how comfortable they’ve become with cameras and selfies, each #photo is a performance—butt’s sticking out, puckered lips, smiling, not smiling, winking, blowing kisses, the whole nine. This page loves exploitation. Kids shouldn’t know how to operate a camera phone before they can walk and neither of you want to wear a disguise.
I think another mistake that needs to be embraced is the age of military acceptance. An 18 year old kid isn’t much brighter than a 16 year old kid, in fact, sometimes they’re dimmer—children are signing up for the military before they graduate high school. Having never known what it’s like to even have a personal bank account, nor a utility bill in their name or the ability to buy a coffee without asking mom for money should constitute they’re not of legal dying age.
”Hoorah!”
Relax, this isn’t anti-military, it’s anti military acceptance age. Get recruiters out of the high schools and let these kids have seven years to develop their own thoughts. They’ve been thinking the way they’re taught to think for 12 years and, now that it’s over but prior to thinking for themselves, the military introduces catch phrases like “The Proud,” or “Army Strong” and “Be All You Can Be.” What’s the point of a military anyway?
Television wants you to believe military is necessary and they’ll use words called triggers to excite fear: Safety. National. Emergency. Danger. Threat. Crisis—they’re all triggers. In combination with promissory notes called Grants and College Tuition, you’ve developed obedience who’s willing to die for you. I just think if the military is so confident in their system, they can wait seven years, wait until their recruits are 25 years old but keep the college tuition on the table. Don’t go to their high school either, one indoctrination at a time. If your deal is such a good deal then a college education shouldn’t be negated—cover the tab. At the end of seven years, the student has two options: Work for you for four years as an educated college graduate in order to satisfy the debt or pay the loan in full with interest as an educated college graduate—nobody dies that way.
Out of all of the trigger words used to cause fear to be used as ammunition to solidify death, nobody talks about the foundation—profit. Behind every war, behind every authority, behind every military is one man who’s on a power trip and wants something he doesn’t have. Maybe if we stop feeding them military subjects they’ll stop being so greedy—wait until they’re 25!
I never used to think about these types of things when I didn’t have time—I have time now. I wish everyone had time to think. That’s another objective, to keep you busy. Eight on, eight off and eight to sleep with no remainder isn’t an accident. You’re too busy to pay attention to things like passwords and...
security questions.
How many apps, devices, past and new laptops, pc’s or kiosks have you answered security questions for? You’ve entered your mothers maiden name and last four of your social as many times as I have. The street you grew up on, high school mascot, first vehicle, you know the questions. The problem is, you’re not the only one who knows the answers anymore. In conjunction with your bank, who has your phone number, street address, spouses name and their last four, blood type, DNA, etc, if you’re plugging all of this information into an Apple device, it’s safe to say Tim Cook knows more about you than your mother. At least she doesn’t know what you look at on the internet when no one’s looking—mistake. Larry Ellison of Oracle knows more than her too—another mistake. More of your private information will be under one French roof this year in August than ever before—is it safe? Who knows, really, I don’t. Security is only flawless until it’s breeched. These are the types of things I think about, know why?
Because every entity I’ve mentioned in this article, the names I dropped, the parenting recommendations, climate concerns, military stance, all of the above—behind all of it is one human being who makes mistakes. The only reason they’re half decent at doing anything today is because they screwed it up so many times in the past. Nobody gets it right the first time, nobody, except for once, that’s it! There was a day no soul alive stood a chance at going against those power figures, I had my day too, so did you, we all did. That time is over now, it’s long gone and you’ve been screwing things up ever since, just like me, just like them.
The only time you were better than everyone in existence, the best, including everyone I mentioned in this article is the same time I was. Ever since then, it’s been a learning curve with substantially more mistakes than accuracies. It’s the one and only time any past or future President got it right, too. Ministers, mothers, instructors, captains, officers, managers, it doesn’t matter what their title or rank is, they’ve been making mistakes, just like you—except for once, that’s it! Only one time were you the best, better than everyone, the strongest, nobody else stood a chance against you that day, you were the smartest, fastest, quicker than everybody, every adjective you can think of—numero uno! The day you were a...
“winner.”

I get the “it’s too late” theory. And I’m with you, there’s no point in worrying about your data at this point, what they have on us is filed away forever. I just think to continue believing it doesn’t matter what they have without paying attention and continuing to privatize ourselves is a mistake.
But let’s get real, you and I aren’t anymore knowledgeable with this life stuff than anyone who may be reading this—ain’t it great?! We’re just one big huge bowl of opinions who are barely smarter than we were yesterday.

You know what @dandays... the nieces and nephews I have who was born after 2006, known how to operate a handphone especially to watch youtube.. but dunno how to use phone camera before they're 1.095 days, they can learn how to use the phone better than their grandparents at 7☺.
I think that's because they're familiar to it since they're still in the womb, when the mom use the phone all the time. They're the digital generation.
Blame the parents who show them what the use of thr phone everyday... I took pictures of my favourite's niece since she was born (now 7yo).. and now she's really good on selfie for one reason: ask her mother to send it to me.
About the military recruitment's age.. couldn't agree more😊 but training them when they're 25.. they will have hard days on the camp because they already have gf/bf and life experience to enjoy a better life rather than being an army 😂😂😂 except.. they're hopeless. Many student who hates school and not enough fortune to have the university's life who needs to earn money for the family as soon as they're 17 ... being an army or police is the only option, sometimes their parents would sacrifice anything to have a son who are an sergeant 😊
Global warming? When they keep producing fancy cars, luxurious yacth, the spectators love to see F1 race and Motogp.. no matter how many trees I planted.. when others keep using paper toilet, new gadgets produced every quarter of the year... what do you expect? Back to the age stone😂😂...

Good morning, Cici! This sure was a nice response, I think it’s safe to say this is the longest one you’ve left me—I’ll take it!
Maybe a 1095 year old can’t physically operate a camera phone, they probably need 1,100 days for that but they know how to smile for one. They’re not concerned with who’s holding the device, they just want to look good. I’ve lived three decades longer than them and won’t allow anyone to photograph me that I don’t know. Is that weird? If so.. more kids need to be weird like me.
Sorry, all I heard about your 17 year old example was family, money, fortune, university and every other “proper footstep” when nobody really knows.. sounds like the same white picket fence, spouse, two kids, a dog and two car payment scenario everyone else believes is normal. I’m 43 with no kids, no mortgage, no credit cards or car payments, no picket fence and I don’t call 9-1-1 when I need help. It doesn’t mean I’m wrong, it just means I don’t believed what they’re saying and look at me—living, breathing and haven’t even died yet. I respect your opinions and beliefs, I promise, but the view from my eyes is different than yours. Police and military are human beings who make mistakes and do as they’re told, “control”—a mistake. I don’t believe we need policed or governed—period. We’re all just raccoons Cici.
And the global warming part, that’s the point. Big cars, races, and all of that other stuff you mentioned are just there—if global warming is a hoax then cars shouldn’t bother us we should be talking about something other than toilet paper. Muah!

I 've seen that Icke's interview, and it's been a while he and James Corbett have been denouncing global warming as a scam, food for thoughts if we're still allowed to raise these sort questions and understanding that it doesn't mean we are not going through "climate change".
The whole point of recruiting soldiers at an early age is because that's the time when they're still moldable, and won't question orders.
Full Metal Jacket by Kubrik explains it the best.
About the selfies, I think it still depends on the personality of the user, most of those 14s or 20s old girls and boys are a bit hollow and shallow, but I can ensure you that multitalented children excelling in something aren't taking selfies all day.
As you know I take "public" transport every day, and the age doesn't matter for selfie, what matters, is how stupid you are.
So I came up with an algorithm to define people intelligence instead of IQ.
number of selfies x time spent taking pictures/ (number of friends + number of pouting mouth on the selfie) = Intelligence

Yooo! Thanks for reading this one, Ed, even if it requires me showing off a qurator mention—whatever it takes. 😉 I appreciate this detailed response, sir. Knuckles to the Privat’s.
I’m not surprised to learn our opinions are similar on these things, I like to see people get excited about their opinion. This is just another one of those rants I take off about and hope my thumbs can keep up, how’d they do?
Soldiers—absolutely. I’d love to see this experiment take place. I think if we waited until they’re 25 there’d be a lot less enlisting thus forcing hands to stop fighting.
Kids and selfies, my point was I think parents are making their kids too comfortable with cameras. But here I am, debating what I think about parenting and raising kids and I don’t even have kids. I just think everyone is too comfortable with camera phones these days and maybe if toddlers would stop chewing on cell phones as they’re teething they’d be less likely to be so comfortable around cameras.
I’m thinking, first mistake, my IQ should be well balanced, second mistake. I haven’t taken more than 3 selfies in my life but I got a ton of time spent taking pictures. I have at least 6 friends. What I mean by friends is I have at least 6 people I could call who would physically retrieve me from New Guinea if I called them and said “I don’t need money, I need a ride home and you have to physically come get me.” Maybe 7 but no more than 10. That’s how dudes with no fam rolls. Did I break the Ed algorithm yet?

I've fixed the algorithm a little bit and added pouting mouth as a divider.
Bro I think the phone thing is a generational thing. Our grandparents were only listening to the radio and our grandchildren will wear implants to improve their brain functions and consume entertainment. we're right there in the middle of it. But that's where we heading and there's nothing we can do about it.
As a specie, it's an equally scary and exciting time.

I read this like twice, on different occasions because I did enjoy it, and came back wanting to get every bit of it in... I am hoping on reading it a third time and probably clicking those links in the post next time....
Mistakes sure is part of what makes us human, and as plenty as our mistakes are, embracing them usually is the first step towards "getting it right" on the next trial...
The "selfie culture" seems to be all over the place, and for a girl in her early 20s with little to no selfies, i often do appear to be the weird one.
Maybe i should pay more attention to the global warming positions too... I seem to know very little about the climate and things connected to it, tbh. Even though green is the new black, I think i haven't exactly given it much thought or dig even more...
So many mistakes we've made, yet we got it right a some point. Embracing it sure gives us a chance at getting it right...

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this one, audreybits, after reading your article about embracing diversity I just felt like the two articles shared a similar personality.
About the global warming thing, I actually convinced myself it was hotter outside. I would say things out loud like “it gets hotter sooner” or “it’s staying hotter longer” only to discover there’s more than enough scientific info to debunk the whole “manmade” theory. Crazy world we live in, Audrey, it’s a fascinating time to be alive. I hope you’re having a great weekend—God bless you!

As hard as it is for some people to admit to making a mistake, it really is part of maturing. We all know someone that thinks that every word that comes out of their mouth is in fact the truth, and that they are above making a mistake. Some of the best lessons learned are through doing something wrong to begin with.
The use of the term global, now that is the way to get our attention for sure. When it comes to global warming, for me there is to much going down, not to believe something is off-kilter . Whether it is caused by mankind's practices, or not, is the million dollar question. There is one school of thought that it is a natural occurrence and we have nothing to do with it.
In general, cell phones for young kids are inappropriate, and are put into kids hands way to early. So much of what is emulated can be directly tied to fools. Take a look at Keeping Up with the Kardashians, , talk about selfies, and talk about fools. Technology in general needs to be monitored, but all to often, by placing a contraption in a youngster's hands, will keep them entertained for hours, and gets the parent off the hook.
What ever happened to spending real quality time with your children.
Young and dumb is a term that is not meant to be derogatory, just a reality.
To this day I continue to question moves that I make, but with a life time of experience, I like to think that the moves I am making, are for the most part, the right ones.
The military preys on stupidity and economic insecurities. That is a lethal combination.
I love your idea of raising the age limit to 25 years before being able to serve in the Armed Forces.
The military promises you a bright future after serving, but the reality is that most leave the service no better off than when they went in.
War is not a game, although you would think it is, ie. Call of duty, Call of Duty Black Ops , Fortnite, and the list is endless. What better way to indoctrinate impressionable minds then to make a game out of something so serious.
I know it is not a popular concept, but I wonder if serving in the military should be made mandatory for all citizens.
This would make those so willing to go to war, think twice if their sons' or daughters' blood had a chance of being spilled, not just the blood of someone they think is expendable.
Security and the fact that we feel big brother is watching our back for our safety is a joke. The information we need to provide in order to conduct life in the mainstream environment is nothing more than a way for those watching, to know every move we make.
The more personal information I give them under the guise of security the less secure I feel.
Funny closing, @dandays LOL.

That’s more like it. My man Sweed came to the comment plate and smashed a homerun, first things first, this is a no brainer.
That’s really cool of you to stop back by here, I know I intend to do stuff like that sometimes but forget most of them. Ya’all are too cool. I’ve never done any social media other than this, I’m amazed by the encouragement from virtual strangers—I dig it here!
You know how cool it is to have a man two decades wiser than me tell me he agrees with the stuff I’m thinking? That comment made my night.
Pura will say things to me often like that about the kardashians. Those people dropped 75k in a weekend on private jets, with an S. Two jets, one for each couple for someone’s birthday or something. And those are the people in the palm of everyone’s hands.
Thanks for stopping back by @thebigsweed.
