buy a bike, grow your own food, buy local food, buy a solar cooker, pedal powered washing machine, solar power. You have just saved your world. Is it that hard? is it that bad? What's worse is global disaster...
just next time pls mention that there are also fashion seasons of the "ways" to waste time that the majority follows to feel "normal" about their lives.
eh, and try not to be honestly angry about this one or the cam might get broken xD
You want to save the world ? .......my suggestion......Save yourself first, then, if want, help out another person, or persons who can help you as you help them......and keep it going
You should really expatiate on what "wasted time" is. We are driven by desire, and if we desire to "do nothing" or "waste time", that is, essentially, a contradictory argument because we're using our time in consonance with our free will. Is there something wrong with obliging to what we want; our own free will? This video is a useless rant to me.
the world has been ending since it began. don't worry about history or science. focus on your immediate environment. turn off your computer. take off your clothes. fall in love. stop thinking and drop dead. you are on the path to insanity and enlightenment.
Maybe just maybe watching wall like zen master and engaging in developmentally positive activities... but not much examples of this. Everyone lives a fractured, unfixed, dying world. Fear looses.
yes good video, I even found myself right now wasting time. I'm doing nothing right now but staring at a stupid screen, watching stupid videos of stupid people and reading comments of people who are doing exactly the same as I was doing. we are all lost nowadays, lost in the big web that's called the internet. and why? because I'm bored. yes I do have work etc. but it just doesnt feel right, I'm not helping anything or anyone at all. I'll commit suicide right now to make this world a better...jk
so you don't care if i smoke weed and stare at the wall as long as i don't CALL IT wasting time. gotcha.
what many people call wasting time, others call introspection, deep thought, self-realization. this is when accomplishments go to seed. do not underestimate the value of staring at the wall.
and fuck your vanity you small human being. NO ONE HAS EVER SAVED THE WORLD. historical figures are blown out of proportion to the point where you'd almost think they saved the world from what you hear about them, but it's bullshit. saving the world is a lie told by the worst of idealists. people are small and so are their actions. content yourself with doing good, small things. don't "waste time" trying to live up to absurdly lofty heroic ideals.
... thanks for your contribution (nothing) to the cause!
... you've given about as much as a hundred thousand other self-centered slaves! enjoy your "introspection." maybe try some exospection and figure out what the fuck is being done to your world.
Haha, it just threw me off, but i get what your saying in the vid, we're all wasting time doing nothing instead of trying to help out the world in some way.

But the truth is that Time is limited to each of us, we never know how much we will truly have. But we choose to sell that little we have for a virtual concept called money! Time is not money, but money steals time!
ya know, with no shirt on and that image on the cloth behind your head, you look like popuar depictions of jesus christ. kinda scary! please stay away from angry crowds bearing huge wooden crosses.....
it´s not like time is a material thing you can save. time isn´t money you got in your wallet that you save by saying:"hey, I´m not gonna buy this. I´m gonna save my money!" time flies, it says. even these 2:21 minutes could be wasting time. but it´s not. -it´s a good "waste of time" to listen to others opinions and thoughts. every minute of life is learning and teaching. even sitting in a bar with a beer and watching people makes sense. for some more for others less.
I know, but what you might see as something that is wasting time the other person may see as something enjoyable they're doing for fun. It just came across like that. Thats what I meant.
yes its tricky because even things I do that do not end up turning out right, which seemed to be a waste of time, teach me something that I will ultimately use later in another situation which saves me time. So perhaps mistakes are every bit as valuable as solutions or at least perhaps they co-exist for a reason. dont know.
time is not an illusion. i have half an hour until class. that is a real amount of time. i had better use it effectively or i'll be late.
how old are you? a member of my generation? perhaps you should re-listen to what i said. i said, "my peers call what they do 'wasting time,' and that's what i have a problem with, because we need to start working on helping to save the world rather than wasting time."
actually, clock time is an illusion, and a rather new one at that, historically speaking

In answer to your question z, i do think that college students are particularly vulnerable when the shit hits the fan. And before it.
If you look at what Rangel has pushed as legislation and Obama is saying about the military not being 'fair' i think you can count on selective service for men and women starting within a year. There's no college deferments. Starts at age 20. You just get to finish the semester you are in.
You can opt for citizen corp etc instead of the military, but that means you need a practical skill set. How many students you know skilled in medical or first aid, etc.
College is used to mask unemployment and to get people indebted. There are signs there will be the equivalent of debtor's prisons. I would ask Hooligan from what i see of his responses. He seems to know this stuff.
The last thing that makes me fear for people like you is that you will be isolated and alone. Students are not part of the town or city, many do not have any local network with townies. If shit happens, how do you get home individually? How do foreign students get back to their countries when airports close? Where do you go when the college shuts down and you live on the opposite coast etc? You need to practically help each other, z, and stay out of debt.
i'm a shareholder/member in a coop(in upstate ny--surrounded by seventeen colleges, lol) I had to be 18 and NYstate resident to join. So i work there plus write articles/reviews of farmer/food issues. (i'll pm next time. sorry i am wrecking your thread.)
Zeitgeist doesn't go deep enough only in that it's just a starting point for people to open their eyes to what's really going on, go deeper and examine their lives on a day to day basis (things that we don't normally question or think twice about), I think. Still an incredible movie.
I'm starting to watch Ring of Power Illuminati Bloodlines. It's around five hours long and some say better than zeitgeist.
Of course I understand the ramifications of loans at interest.
But when zack asks a question like "why do we need a medium of exchange?" I feel as though I should answer his question and explain the convenience factor as opposed to trade and barter.
I guess the question is "Can money exist in our society with being hoarded, printed out of thin air and thus devalued by Fed.Res., loaned at high interest, controlled by the wealthy elite and national banks, etc?"
do you think that these banks folding is an accident? it's not.
i'm not trying to allude to anything. we all just think differently. i've been saying this stuff in most of my videos, since day one...but i just realized i haven't really clarified what i am saying.
You know as well as I do that if one wants a college education these days and are low on dough, they can still make it happen.
If one applies themselves in high school and gets great grades and the attention of schools, searches for loans, funding, scholarships, or even has to settle for a community college, they can make it happen.
You know the benefits of having an economic society as you and I carry on a conversation through some benefits rights before your eyes.
What difference does it make to the dead or to orphans or to homeless people wandering around Galveston this morning, whether some college kids want to waste time or not. You wouldn't be doing anything positive anyway to actually help anyone with anything, let alone save the world. You're the selfabsorbed selfappointed 'change agents' the world needs saving from. Keep pretending you're Ghandi with a youtube ministry. Preach with your phoney halo behind you. Ughhh. You're unreal.
i have a lot of problems with Ghandi. i do not want to pretend to be anyone. it's hard enough pretending to be myself, when i don't even know who i am.
what difference does it make to those sufferin this second? maybe not much. but it'll make a huge difference to those who will suffer in the future, if we make changes towards removing the System of Suffering.
i wouldn't be doing anything positive? please understand i am not trying to brag when i say i am confident my youtube channel saves lives. (kids have told me shit like that.)
if i am helping some people understand this mess a little easier, than i am doing something hugely positive! and you're only exhibiting your own negativity by refusing to acknowledge that.
phony halo? when have i ever claimed that I am angelic, saintly or free from blame and responsibility? phony halo? where's the halo?
this system harms people, like the dead orphan homeless people you mentioned. the system is held in place by the apathy of civilized humans worldwide, including my peers. i attempt with my videos to challenge that apathy. sometimes i succeed.
Working for a living is a waste of time if you don't need to. Unfortunately most of us do. So after a 40hr week, chillin out and doing nothing (I call it relaxing) is not being complacent.
however, working towards achieving a way of life in which that much work is not necessary in whatever way possible might be a productive use of down-time.
I just hope you don't feel you're being rushed into this notion to go live in the jungle or whatever since being rushed is also one of the symptoms and the way to avoid thinking so that things remain the same.
After all it took a few hundreds/thousands of years to go this far wrong maybe it'll take the same to get out of it.
zeitschen - we've been on our way out for thousands of years, already.
i do not feel rushed into living in the jungle. i know you've never used your ears before (since you're just waking up from the matrix) but try to listen and understand before you assume someone's stance.
i feel rushed into bringing down civilization, because if we don't do it soon many or all ecosystems on earth will collapse, and then all life will eventually end because of us, and i don't want that much blood on my hands
i think you are right... but in a way all children or the majority think school is simply wasteing time.o wait i have an idea we could either not do school what so ever or we could change school to a way that teachers and children dont think its a waste of time anymore. people often tend to choose the easy way out
it's not up to me to decide what is a waste of time or what isn't.
i'm saying, there are problems in the world, and all of my peers are not trying to help solve those problems. they only care about dicking around and wasting time.
i think you have a good idea of what you are talking about and explaining this to all this people might be a bit hard because this subject can be very broad. i like the way you handle it though, the assertive attitude is certainly convincing altough some people who dont believe in this may think you are nuts^^ anyway good job
beuatifully put, thank you, my sentiments exactly. I actually hate wasting time, I don't read non fiction, I only read to learn about pertinent pressing issues facing us today, it's very important right now, we have no time to lose, we losing far too much in this world, and we need to realize it, and start actually doing things to help save this planet, this country, our electoral system, far too much too learn. If eveyone would just stop watching so much TV, BS news, "reality shows,
I've sent you how many messages asking and...you don't respond.
I say, 'yes, let's make this happen' and my inbox is empty. like this is a subtle way of blowing it off.
we do need to 'save the world' but it's not going to happen sitting on our asses in front of youtube making videos to eachother about how we need to save the world.
Seriously JK. Popular culture somehow memorizes people into zombies. Must watch TV must talk about it, must waste more time. Maybe the UFO coming next month will abduct all the idiots and leave the people who hate globalization and the globalists so we can rise up all kill the motherfuckas!
which song was that? bob marley was seriously smart.. listen to the song one love and decode what hes saying. basicly it comes down to become one to save the world
Exactly! Of course we can save the world! Start doing our part NOW!Z...this is one of your best videos! Makes perfect sense! Thanks for posting this. Peace!
revolutions aren't peaceful. there are big fish to fry. no corrupt corporate ass is going to willingly leave his throne. no politician is going to throw his hands up and say fuck it, you win flower children.
I'm not insinuating it has to be bloody, but it's going to need hard tactic to bring it down. not some 'let's not buy food for a week' wtf? so a week later the prices can sky rocket and people can starve?
this video was sort of hollow to me. why do so many of you think that if we do not "change our ways" (which you do not seem to be doing), that the world is going to end, completely? people will die, people will be humbled, systems will fall. what more could really happen?
You say, 'The way to save the world is to try to save the world.' 0:44
'In my life I..go to school, I go to work, I hang out with people, I come onto youtube and I see people wasting time' 0:49
However, how is going to school, going to work, hanging with friends, and youtube helping save the world?
Our corrupted overpriced universities, edu system in gen, and the repetitive drudgery of work in America are part of the problem causing the world to need saving in the first place
The way to save the world is NOT to try to do so. It is to actually do so.
Of course you are spreading the knowledge of civilization's problems with these videos but aside from that I don't think that you are helping to save the world. Just my opinion.
I think that the system set up by the wealthy controlling elite of the world needs the common man like you and me to put into the system our money and energy through things like school and work.
Zack, Money is used as an intermediary for trade in order to avoid the inefficiencies of a barter system, which are sometimes referred to as the 'double coincidence of wants problem'. Such usage is termed a medium of exchange.(wikipedia, << I know they're not the most reliable source but it answers your question)
Double coincidence of wants- ex If you want to trade fruit for wheat, you can only do so when both are available at the same time and place which may be a brief amt. of time or never.
I'd wager a guess that Capitalism is a good starting point to answer your question. The importance of the individual.
Many old communities that shared also used money sometimes.
Native americans sometimes used shells as a form of money.
In swaziland shell jewelery in the form of strung beads also dates back to (100,000 yrs ago possibly), and had the basic attributes needed of commodity money.
that is why you pay property taxes. you are paying rent to the "owners" of the world. this is true, as long as you believe in money.
what do you think is going to happen when the dollar is finally declared dead? (though it is already) people who have loaned us all this debt money will TAKE EVERYTHING
zzz, also, just imagine that your college says "Sorry we are no longer taking currency (money) for tuition payments as an exchange for your education. You must trade something of value with us like livestock, food, a virgin daughter, etc."
Or, what if your workplace said "We will no longer pay you in dollars, we will only trade you what we think is worth your time. No more payments in money with a value that is generally agreed upon by our society".
dnHooligan, I'm up on the Rothschild through to the Rockefellers controlling and possessing most of the money, believe me. That's the stuff that gets my blood boiling.
Back to your question, am I saying fuck money? No, it has a convenience that can't be denied.
Am I against a corrupted system of the way money is controlled in the hands of the few wealthy elite like the aforementioned names, hell yes.
Movies like Zeitgeist, esoteric agenda and the like sum it up for me.
they own ALL the money in existence...that is what people don't understand. right now, the FED could demand ALL money be returned, PLUS interest...where ya gonna come up with the interest?
most of zeitgeist is skewed, and not exactly factual. it does get a good point across, but the editor/fact checker was asleep at the wheel.
I'm thinking about stalking, kidnapping and torturing Bill O'Reilly. I'll make him watch an Inconvenient Truth over and over at high volume while extorting huge sums from the Fox faithful which I will give away to poor unwed welfare moms.
Sure, it makes plenty sense to me but some times the acts people conduct claiming they aren't a waste of time are worse than if they'd just opted to stare at a wall. Hell, maybe my own [kamikaze] mission's the wrong one, maybe those I seek to decimate, secretly have souls but then again, I've checked & checked for signs of sapience, & instead found further exemplification to fuel my disdain, and that there's really nothing behind their eyes. That's not even what I was looking for but I found it.
Eh, fuck it, it's just some exclusive terminology from a zombicidal weapon in evolution / determinism's arsenal. Too exhausted from work, insomnia, malnutrition etc to type properly or make sense beyond the subjective sense I'm makin or at least not right now, not to mention this grotesque sensation in muh belly. Anyway, I don't think I'm wasting time, not me, when I'm doing what's perceived as a waste of time, I'm trying to distract my mind from the nightmares. Maybe that's what others are doin
His point is, the problems in the world aren't hard to solve if everyone actually did some stupid little thing to fix it in their direct reach, sure you might think most people have this dickwad attitude to destroy things. However, I sincerely doubt that most people think like that, only a few people are dickwads, the rest of us are just wasting time and not being the opposite of a dickwad, THAT is the problem.
The barrier to awareness for most people is simply immense, but theres still a high possibility that we can transform this world to what it's meant to be! Awareness is a massive step up.
Oh yes and, the only reason why people can't save the world, IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN SAVE THE WORLD!
Which time are you referring? The tick tock clock invented by man or the earth clock holding the seasons or the universe was created by gods and will be destroyed by gods clock? Sorry aliens I know you gotta clock somewhere too. Its my time (but not that time!)right now and there is no manmade clock I abide by. What was the demand? Stop Wasting Time? Time spent time dreamt, Time reminds of the past and whats not happening fast enough Why does everything need to be fast? Slow down, earth breaths.
Odd the name punchclocks, a demeaning moment for workers. Funny but not how the nature company used them.
Time is used to control us, get to work humanoids, so wasting it during ones freetime is a rebellious act that really has no effect but to propagate the same old loop of a life.
"kill yourself" ... "do something" hysterical and inspirational.
i am going to go use my time better b/c this does make some fucking sense to me.
i am going to post this on my site, and them i am going to work, write, walk, roll in the grass, FUCK i dunno what i am going to do, but this video rocks.
ps- i was just taking the piss out of you a while back re: your t-shirt. lighten up a little to go with all of your truly awesome energy
i hear what you're saying, but 'stop wasting time' is also the catchphrase of the planet-destroyers, so it's a bit sticky...
i think people 'kill time' because they think life is meaningless, or that they are waiting for their real life to happen, someday
linear time is a dangerous man-made construct/illusion that is at the heart of civilization, so we should focus on where we put our energy, not our time, and put our energy into activities that nourish & nurture instead of deplete & destroy
a lot of CEOs are quitting and going to work for non-profits, etc. i'm waiting for the day that they wake up and shut down their companies, if only for a day

Where do you go when the college shuts down and you live on the opposite coast etc? You need to practically help each other, z, and stay out of debt.

Zeitgeist doesn't go deep enough only in that it's just a starting point for people to open their eyes to what's really going on, go deeper and examine their lives on a day to day basis (things that we don't normally question or think twice about), I think. Still an incredible movie.

Of course I understand the ramifications of loans at interest.
But when zack asks a question like "why do we need a medium of exchange?" I feel as though I should answer his question and explain the convenience factor as opposed to trade and barter.
I guess the question is "Can money exist in our society with being hoarded, printed out of thin air and thus devalued by Fed.Res., loaned at high interest, controlled by the wealthy elite and national banks, etc?"

You know as well as I do that if one wants a college education these days and are low on dough, they can still make it happen.
If one applies themselves in high school and gets great grades and the attention of schools, searches for loans, funding, scholarships, or even has to settle for a community college, they can make it happen.
You know the benefits of having an economic society as you and I carry on a conversation through some benefits rights before your eyes.

What difference does it make to the dead or to orphans or to homeless people wandering around Galveston this morning, whether some college kids want to waste time or not. You wouldn't be doing anything positive anyway to actually help anyone with anything, let alone save the world. You're the selfabsorbed selfappointed 'change agents' the world needs saving from.

... why do we need a "medium of exchange?"
zzz33333 3 years ago
Zack, Money is used as an intermediary for trade in order to avoid the inefficiencies of a barter system, which are sometimes referred to as the 'double coincidence of wants problem'. Such usage is termed a medium of exchange.(wikipedia, << I know they're not the most reliable source but it answers your question)
Double coincidence of wants- ex If you want to trade fruit for wheat, you can only do so when both are available at the same time and place which may be a brief amt. of time or never.

"What happened to the communities that shared?"
I'd wager a guess that Capitalism is a good starting point to answer your question. The importance of the individual.
Many old communities that shared also used money sometimes.
Native americans sometimes used shells as a form of money.
In swaziland shell jewelery in the form of strung beads also dates back to (100,000 yrs ago possibly), and had the basic attributes needed of commodity money.

zzz, also, just imagine that your college says "Sorry we are no longer taking currency (money) for tuition payments as an exchange for your education. You must trade something of value with us like livestock, food, a virgin daughter, etc."
Or, what if your workplace said "We will no longer pay you in dollars, we will only trade you what we think is worth your time. No more payments in money with a value that is generally agreed upon by our society".
