Humanity Lobotomy - first draft

[LutzUndCo]

I typed "this video will teach you math!" into the search bar. How did I got here?

[headshooter44]

what does this have to do with lobotomy?

[kuniva101]

Lol at this crap. Such an implausible, improbable, and equivocal notion, in fact I'm not even going to deter anyone from their acquiescence.

[donjuanlewis]

the end is near

[XxKID1xX]

Is there like World Wide Moderator for the internet server. I mean, there's got to be someone in high power that can easily stop greedy corparations from taking the internet. I hate having to pay for the internet and phone. It all should be free!

[OutlawTomFantastic]

I suspect the net neutrality supporters don't fully understand how the Internet works in terms of redundancy and immunity to monopoly control. It's a distributed network. It can survive a nuclear attack, so no, Comcast can not get monopoly control and shut out Netflix or whatever crazy theory is being offered up. This is a solution looking for a problem. The Internet is working great, no one is complaining about anything and the hardware continues to evolve incredibly. WHY MESS WITH THAT?

[wwwtotalitaerde]

Alexej Tolstoi refers in his novel The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin also published as: The Garin Death Ray, The Death Box, Das Geheimnis der infraroten Strahlen to a similar technique of destructive brainsurgery to produce a class of working slaves. This was written in 1925 after Tolstoi had lived in Germany during for some years.He obviously had learned about directed energy weapons and brainsurgery in Germany.For directed energy use in 1908 see my homepage,Psychiatrie-->Klinik der Narkolepsie

[hairyfatslobpig]

How ancient is this>??? Net neutrality?

WTF. We are such morons

[gigglebug852]

so this is what white people worry about!!!

[otacon451]

@gigglebug852 what do you worry about?

[allsaintsmonastery]

Thoughtful and important. This is something we need to take up with our Members of Parliament. The internet is, at present, a realm of real freedom. There is so little we could know about the events in Iran and other places without a free internet and communications system. Already, in China and other fascist-oriented nations, control is tightenening. We really do need to resist this aggressively.

[o0xemas0o]

No worries Obama is in favor of freedom of speech - He has a stacked science council who is informative about the importance of the internet and what its future in humanity entails.

[Enterthedeath]

Internet is freedom. I'd rather watch people then suits dicking off. Big business FUCK OFF! Companies can die it should not be allowed to have more then so much money. We are being chocked out.

[Scriptofmagic]

Excellent work :-O

[ofusion]

I heard Walmart now owns all rights to the color blue... if you want to use or wear this color you will have have to pay a usage fee.

[edroyce05]

where...whoever said that was a dumbass...that only happens with personal mixed colors such as petty blue.

[blankateeblank]

-_-

[ajkchagford]

wow..... made me think. A medium that i've taken for granted for 12 years is under so much pressure to conform to multi-nationals, NO! Procrastination will deal a sevear blow to the natural course of a technology that has catapulted freedom and inter-national cognitive duties to our fellow humans; just for the sake of a few pounds or dollars into the grasp of a few who are only content with financial gain.

[TripoliSamson]

Good video though!

[TripoliSamson]

Okay: 86 million households are not the majority of the US, as some idiot at 4:09 insinuates

[Tobiasplease]

2007 estimate: 111,162,259

[fasthandsz]

I doubt this will happen... if it does think of all the hackers that will go crazy and like blow up there pcs haha jk.

[keytoothed]

It's time for humanity to grow the fuck up and take charge against anyone or anything that would try to exterminate freedom of expression.

[ms21209]

ooo shit I forgot to vote its 2008 September 4.

No more porno for me?

[Twelveinchpvpness]

Hey, could someone tell me what the song is around 2:00? I found it in another video too, but the guy never responded to me. REALLY bugging me, I had this song a couple years ago and I can't remember what it's called anymore or who it's by. If anyone knows, please tell me, thanks.

[beancube2008]

How do you make internet in China and Singapore works like we had before? How about India and Russia? The kids, their kids and our kids, they are going tell us if we get it right.

[Henroj]

horny lol? yerrr i am! my names Hannah fancy a webcam chat wher i might treat u!!!!! cum join me ... Play-Cam(.COM) ...

[igowyld]

There is a date in 2006 mentioned in this video on which there was a vote. I'm assuming this was in Congress. What was the result of that vote and what is happening now about this matter?

[HillDueceua]

are you guys telling me you actually trust the government?

[louiseiiid]

Rights are not automatic

We need to fight for them NOW

[miltonblock]

Real freedon? We, you and I , need to 'fight' for it by thinking, and seeking and being aware of the truth.

[AkoyPinoy2]

So is net neutrality good or bad?

[rcherry911]

u really have to ask that question?? Of course net neutrality is good, unless you can profit from a biased network.

[PsychoTropica]

Once More Disapointed In Humanity..

[deritpeehs]

i hate the way the "u.s military" experimented in WWII with training people like "computers". it did not work, people do not learn that way, and as if nazi germany was not bad enough to deal with, many enlisted went through a personal and social hell working through, dealing with, and recovering from their bad training. and some dumb bunch of "american" fools think they won the war that way?

[divinejudge1]

This is why you don't vote people in who get contributions from Telephone companies, the media industry, or even "internet" companies.

[whatthedoe]

And 1 year ago, people started posting vidoes like crazy on youtube...

[b6gm6n]

who bought youtube...? who buys ipods?... who watches Chris crocker? - oh shit... were fucked

[markal774]

What will you do if we let you go home? When the plastics all melted and so is the chrome! Who are the brain police? F. Zappa 1965, R.I.P

[masterOFpuppets06]

dont sell the internet

[gorilagorila222]

I hate corporations

[rafarafa87]

@gorilagorila222 Then don´t eat at McDonalds, don´t buy at Walmart, make consumers justice.. That´s the only way to stop them, must start by us..I rather waisting my money on people who have their small business, that have build it with effort..

[waggabiggadoo]

will never happen

[alkaeda0582]

no pos si verdad

[teamodmd]

It's really cool that you did this. I saw parts of this vid on tv like a couple weeks ago on PBS, they gave it late at night. I'm glad people are becoming aware of what's going on. We are no longer living in a world of stupidity (well we are.. hence Bush) but we are all growing and becoming more and more aware of the world around us. All thanks to the small people/individuals:) Tyyyyyyy<3 I liked your Four Eye Monster vid btw:)

[Bibbly53]

If I were robocop.

I would have a computer in my gun.

My gun would be my lover.

And the internet would be SKYNET.

[soulwrappin]

what is at stake is u ppl wont get to put videos on utube anymore in the near future, yeah, they say they are going to divide it into 2 section-not so free and pay to be very free, as thing goes, there will be only 1 section--not free at all section. look up the history books and you'll see how media dies.

[pedrobarroso1995]

this sucks nigga motherfucker

[CKtheFat]

Scary stuff... save the net.

[iluvgaara123]

wow.............

[apocolypticchild07]

just another example of "the man" trying to keep free thinking individuals from communicating through a free internet...crazy man. good video...i like your work.

[Marendigell]

I don't like the radio analogy. No one lost the ability to listen to the radio or lost their stations. Those with money have always had better access to things like global communication; even if corporations didn't interfere, individuals would be limited based on their economic class. We already pay for access to the web (unless you illegally tap into your neighbor's wireless web). Unless you're talking about gov't censorship of internet content, I don't see what's at stake. Please tell me.

[BastardJack]

Uh actually people did lose their stations as band width was given out to corporations. In a similar fashion Bandwidth would be partitioned out to those who could afford to pay prohibitivly high prices while independant buisnesses and individuals would be relegated to limited communal bandwidth making it difficult and at sometimes (peak hours) impossible to connect to people who can't afford it. (Much like the cost of licensing a radio station).

[no1funkydiva]

Thank you for this video. I had no idea our internet was at stake. What a nightmare.

[alwaysmommie]

Well put together...I had no clue

Thank you for enlightening me.

[shelleyboodles]

rock on - this is so important. if we could protect net neutrality in law, our children would thank us.

[improvmaniac]

what are WE doing about this? Not the net!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn it!

[ThatOneZombiePerson]

Wait, what would happen if people like AT&T buy the nets?

[ThatOneZombiePerson]

OMG DEVIL GIRL. "The internet is...is a series of tubes." :P

[mrguy66]

we are so deep in shit.

[MarineDelta1]

Preach on, Brother!!!

[zoeylicious]

ahh u scrare me

[ProfPyro]

This scares the hell out of me.

[whutheH]

is it possible for an implosion of information?

[xbuki]

Capitalism has only one answer: If you do not like it then do not buy it. I like the net the way it is.

[proffate]

the narrator has as an amateur voice and can't read the number 60,000

[wwwparker]

ahahaha

Yeah, pretty much from the get-go, if the narrator misreads something I lose interest.

[grooveslide]

This is a bit two-sided for me, 1: I don''t live in america, so it doesn''t affect, but on the other hand comes number 2: what if this "vision" of at&t spreads to other countries? YIKES

[BeyondDGrave]

So the point of the internet after corporations (other corporations) take over would be....to...watch more ads?... Besides...there will always be ways...around...objects.

[abeferraro]

Thanks for posting this I took some action!

[1BEZERKO]

1tinsoldier, sigh, you don't get it. Let me give you a picture of the future. Internet Neutrality future, we're able to watch high quality grass roots vids like this one on an equal basis as those produced by AT&T without interruption. Market Fundamentalist "hands off" future - we get so frustrated with the lag times on videos like this one, or yours, because they didn't come through some corporate pipeline, that we give up and say to Hell with it.

[thebeerisgood]

Big government control over private industry is fashisium. Remember it was private industry that built the net, not government. Good thing they didn't pull all that fiber, since gigabit speed can be had on copper now. Let government control the net and all you'll do is pipe Big Brother into all our homes.

[Chapps88]

It was actually the government that created the internet. beginning with ARPA which was a military network, from there came everything else

[thebeerisgood]

Yeah I know ARPANET, It routes to avoid zones of nuclear detonation. But the DOD didn't pull the fiber optice cable up my street 7 years ago. IT was a private contractor working for the cable company. If it was a goverment project it would have been kite string.

[utubeskeptic]

great video!

[shodanxx]

haha he said "internets"

[bajatmerc]

the government is getting involvedin net neutrality with the internet user bill of rights modified july 22 to include net neutrality.

[osomoto7]

Thankyou for your hard work.  Excellent video good job.

[iambla]

sounds like the phones comps are a bunch of communist!

[orderlychaos91]

Wouldn't that be the opposite of Communism?

[turdcat]

Awesome work! I will be passing this one around. Most folks just don't realize how important this issue really is. I think I will call my congressmen again for the 5th time.

[volkris]

Humanity lobotomy is about right: this video is full of the same drivel, appeals to emotion, and leaps of logic that plague all "network neutrality" arguments. Pure sensationalism. People just like to get themselves worked up about imaginary goblins.

[foureyedmonsters]

The name Humanity Lobotomy is explaining what it's like everytime a new way for people the human species to communicate gets taken away. The whole thing looses a huge chunk of it's intellegence, thats what I'm worried about, not goblins. Sorry to I kind of treat Telcoms like Villans in the video, but they have ripped off the average house hold 2,000 dollars according to teletruth so I'm not that worried about it.

[volkris]

Ripped off? WTF? Since when have any telecoms showed up with guns demanding money? These are businesses, not muggers: they get their money by providing the services people want in exchange for money people willingly give.

The internet's not being taken away. It's a fundamentally different case from the others; these analogies to the past are terribly flawed.

[Romperjet]

How are they "terribly flawed?" Each form of mass communication (newspaper, radio, television) has been systematically taken over by big business so that it is harder and harder for people with limited funds to participate in the communication.

[Romperjet]

How are they "terribly flawed?" Each form of mass communication (newspaper, radio, television) has been systematically taken over by big business so that it is harder and harder for people with limited funds to participate in the communication.

[Romperjet]

And in case you haven't noticed, quality of content has suffered dramatically in ALL those mediums. To put it in the current lingo, TV SUCKS, RADIO SUCKS, and so do the papers. The media is largely controlled by the government and large corporations. People who don't admit this are deluding themselves.

[orenjiotoku]

Romperjet, the media is not largely controlled by the government. If it was, why would the government let them bash President Bush day in and day out? IT IS owned by liberal lefties who speak their minds about issues facing our country. Totally controlled and slanted.

[greeklamb]

the internet is not owned by any one group. is it controlled and slanted? Or do you just not want to face the fact that most people are "liberal lefties" which is a synonym for "not uneducated redneck"

[Romperjet]

They "let" people bash Bush day in and day out because he is a puppet, the fall guy. They don't give a crap if people hate him or think he is a moron - as long as the people who really have control remained hidden.

[DannoHung]

That was edited brilliantly. I think the kid crying towards the end was a bit melodramatic.

[nicholasyudichak]

Should be regulated viewing for any internet user.

[ralphus44]

Excellent explanation of the whole Net Neutality issue. Thank God the people have spoken and now the Dems have control of the House and Senate.

[eskimofinn]

You guys rock!!

I really look up to you both. You've made me cry with this one...

xx

[liamwen00]

This is excellent work. Sharing the project files on your site demonstrates the power of the internet and open source better than anything I have seen on YouTube to date. Thanks for being such an excellent example to everyone on this site.

PS. Your movie was excellent! :-)

[fakeplasticgrl01]

thanks so much for doing this guys, i'm showing this to everyone i know.

[acurtis]

great work.

[1tinsoldier]

Ah yes. Internet service provided by companies with guns to their heads. Charming. And how sweet of our government to volunteer to hold the gun. Really warms my heart.

Your (very well done) video correctly points out the destruction wrought by government control of radio frequencies, but comes to the conclusion that the same method of control should be used to "free" the internet. Good grief!

[foureyedmonsters]

Nope, thats not what the video is saying and thats not reality either. Net Neutrality is an engeneering rule of the way the internet needs to function just like oxegyn is physical rule for what humans need to breath. It's what creates the equalibrium that allows the net to flurish. Until 2005, the law enforced this required rule to prevent greedy companies from taking advantage and mucking it all up.

[Takkyon]

The question is will people take the action and effort needed to save the NET from falling into this trap too?

[foureyedmonsters]

I hope so, the next step now that the election is passed and went very well is to make sure they don't do a "lame duck" the more public dialog there is the better. So make videos about it and post on youtube, what does the internet mean to you, what if you lost it, how would you feel? Seriously, guys, post some stuff.

[ulyssesyt]

tne Internet is already not neutral. hate to say it, but this video is off the mark. the proposed difference is simply this--YOU WILL PAY MORE. that's it. period. services will become more expensive.

[foureyedmonsters]

What do you mean YOU WILL PAY MORE, do you mean if we continue to have net neutrality you will pay more? This issue has nothing to do with what the consumer will pay. It has to do with whether or not data gets discriminated against.

[burnvictim77]

Though, the legislation that 'Net Neutrality' advocates support deals with a MUCH larger range of issues than the "discrimination" portion, which is merely a selling point for consumers.

[foureyedmonsters]

No. Has nothing to do with value of service to consumers or prices, it has to do with humanity, evolution, democracy, collective intelligence, and your ability to make these points your making through your videos. Those are the principals behind those pushing to maintain internet neutrality.

[burnvictim77]

I see you also have denied my video comment. Hmmm. Equal access to information?

[volkris]

That is a factually incorrect statement. The demand for bandwidth will continue to increase, and so the costs of increasing infrastructure will continue to exist as well. Who will pay that cost? Well, if you force all data to be treated equally we will all have to pay it, whether we use the extra services or not.

It has a direct effect on what consumers will pay. Forcing inefficiency (which is what this does) forces higher costs and, in this case, spreads the cost to every consumer.

[Romperjet]

The content that you see will be filtered. It will no longer be a free (meaning OPEN) dialog between ordinary users, but a matter of paying to watch content determined by corporations and the government.

[getplaning]

"Hands Off the Internet" is a GOP funded stealth counter-organization that looks like it supports net neutrality but exists to siphon off support from groups like Save the Internet. These people have no shame. Only greed.

[spoiledmilk]

AMEN!!!! I am definatley spreading this all around, this could be just what the cause needs, terrific job! I will pass it around and lets call our senators!!

[williebarbour]

Great job - well done - I am showing this to all my students, friends and anyone else who cares and freedom.

[elfugitivox]

Felicidades, mientras haya gente que haga estas cosas la internet dificilmente desaparecera.

[elfugitivox]

trabajo en una televisora y etoy sorprendido por la fluidez con la que realizate este video. Mientras haya gente como tu la internet seguira viva. Felicidades. Continua con este trabajo.

[burnvictim77]

Everyone should check out handsoff dot org, who will illustrate for you the other side of this controversial and complex issue. And yes, before anyone points this out, they are funded not only by pro-liberty groups but by telephone and cable companies. At least they have the honesty to admit this, while savetheinter dot com hides their donations from Google, Disney, and Ebay via consumer groups.

[sagecast]

"Pro-Liberty Groups?" Nice try Burnvictim. Handsoff is entirely funded by phone companies. Ask their co-chair. I have. It's a textbook "astroturf" group -- a fake grassroots effort backed by narrow corporate interests. It's dishonest at its very inception. Please produce evidence to back up your smear of SavetheInternet. Come on where is it? Truth is STI gets zero money from corporations. It's a coalition powered by people (more than a million) accepting no political or party money.

[volkris]

Right is right no matter who is funding it.

I know it's hard for some people to believe, but sometimes the truth is on a corporation's side. Sometimes the greedy, smelly corporation is actually correct.

[orderlychaos91]

So, you would rather have lose a channel for free speech than pay a little more?

[godot73]

Burnvictim seems not to have watched the propaganda streaming forth from phone companies on this issue. Or maybe he has and has succumbed to the distortion. Phone and cable companies already charge for - and profit handsomely from - providing high-speed services. We're just trying to stop them from also discriminating against Internet content. That's what they've want to do. And it will undermine Internet freedom. Big problem. Tim Berners-Lee's got it right, not Burnvictim.

[burnvictim77]

You need to examine what is actually in the proposed "Net Neutrality" legislation and not just watch the ads.

[wilshire1]

No, charging more is NOT what the telcoms want to do. They ALREADY do that. They currently charge more for high quality and faster speed. Nothing wrong with that. The problem is in ADDITION to these fees, they want to leverage 'their' network and charge different fees for the SAME service - high fees to a competitor, and low fees to a partner...and this is the fundamental change that has happened since November '05 when the FCC stripped the internet classification as a Common Carrier.

[wilshire1]

So, to pretend that there is a 'free market' on your neighborhood telephone pole is naïve. As is pretending there is no imminent threat. Since the demise of Net Neutrality in '05 we're in the midst of a power grab that will shift control to a few corporations like AT&T and Verizon. Destroying the REAL free and competitive marketplace that has developed is in their economic interest. So it will happen -- unless ALL owners of the network step up -- every node, including YOU.

[foureyedmonsters]

Wilshire, you've got it, burnvictim has own little smear campaign going. I hope these are his true feelings and he doesn't work for someone who's asking him to push these ideas because if he is, he should disclose that. His ideas are very inline with those on the the telcome team. It's not even in line with any sort of a political point of view I can recognize. The internet is good for small businesses and is a lawless environment, we want to keep it that way, thats what neutrality means.

[burnvictim77]

Nice. Unfortunately this is highly slanted propaganda. Truth is there is no imminent threat from the telephone/cable companies. They simply want to charge more to people who use higher quality services to stream huge bandwidth data. There is no justifiable reason to say they cannot charge for this service.

[burnvictim77]

Check into the large corporations who are in favor of the 'net neutrality' issue. Do you think those corporations are in it for their own good? This is yet another example of the wool being pulled over people's eyes to make it seem that the legislation is in favor of the consumer, when in reality it is a tug of war between 2 sets of large corporations.

[foureyedmonsters]

Nope, thats not what it is. Listen, I'll do a video chat debate and we can sort this all out and post on youtube, the comments here don't let me type enough to counter everything your saying, theres a 500 letter max. Just message me to set a video chat up.

[burnvictim77]

I don't have a webcam, but I'm willing to do response vids and watch whatever you post.

[foureyedmonsters]

Well do you have skype or iChat, cause if you do you can use your video camera as a web came. All you need is a firewire cable which you probably use to get your footage onto your computer.

[burnvictim77]

I am not familiar with how those work.

[EddBSmith]

This was an awesome compilation of the most powerful clips about net neutrality, and it was a brilliantly summarized!

[xmeganxmx]

Okay, maybe I'm wrong, but isn't the internet, I don't know. INTERnational? It's just not physically possible, because of the fact that it is covered so widely by many different sources. Not to mention this is only an American vote. I'm a Canadian citizen. where does that leave me, my friends, my family, and my internet?

[burnvictim77]

Well, if you lived here in the US you might be under the same delusion as many people that the Gov't has the power to save the world, and that it is out to accomplish good instead of control things.

What I love is this: The Gov't is the one who ruined and controls radio (as mentioned in this vid). Why is letting them get involved in the Net a GOOD thing?

[foureyedmonsters]

They already were until 2005. Net neutrality was taken away recently, Ed Markey and other congressional supporters are trying to get the language added back into the COPE act which is a huge document that changes the way most media is legistlated. And currently the document says net neutrality won't be a law, but instead will be up to the FCC to enforce, 5 appointed guys.

[foureyedmonsters]

Well because the internet is world wide, if net neutrality went away, the US would be sort of a lobotomy, hence the name, and the internet would be missing the American contribution and instructor. But the UK is also now starting to have this same debate. So if the phone companies get their way, they'll try to start a trend by showing how governments can cooperate and make money. The answer right now is awareness.

[DrBane]

this is a awsome video thank for posting ...

[thegamejew]

Dude and Dudette, I've been watching your stuff since the beginning, and this new depature is just absolutely amazing. Please keep up the good work.

[catdatfat]

This is the most informitive video I've seen on net neutrality. I really hope it gets featured so more people can see it.

[happyseaurchin]

superb

[Azeduori]

Yep. Powerful indeed. After seeing this, I'm much more aware...

[mikehedge]

great work!!!

[visualheart]

this blew my mind, simply because it's not easy getting access to all of this information. Thank you for sharing and informing the world.

[bbenefiel]

great video ... very powerful
