Zeitgeist

So I've just watched the Zeitgeist, which is a Really good movie.
It talks about some of the conspiracies, focusing mostly in USA today... I've heard about some of them and I've written them off as dumb ideas that are obviously too absurd to be true... surely? Everyone around me, peers and teachers... have laughed them off as stupid ideas that cannot be true... using the same strain as thought as I do...

but.

the world really is going to hell in a handbasket... and I feel absolutely dumbfounded from the lack of knowledge and understanding that I have for the world around me... the media is even more of a brainwasher than I had previously thought... the world painted in the immediate future is absolutely scary. crazy and yet no one seems to be aware of it... soon we will welcome it with open arms. it is so fucked up. Why is the public - the American public mostly - being blind to this? This is really fucked up. I hope, sincerely, that none of the stuff shown in the Zeitgeist is true... but I feel that wishful thinking is the sin on my part. it's disgusting. the controllers of our nations ... worlds of democracy, free will, rights and liberties, all that beautiful stuff our forefathers have fought and died for... are bringing us to our knees... our economies, societies. yet we see nothing past the blinding propaganda of modern media... "you've got to get mad. you've got to say... I'm a human being goddamnit, my life has value!" ... it's so fucking stupid I cant even word my thoughts.......

God fucking damn it.

Anyway, here's what Bill Hick ends his show with... which was in part used in the end of the movie Zeitgeist:

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. "Shut him up." "We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real."

Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.


This sums it up quite beautifully.

The world... how I ...
