Joe, I feel you on this one. The most unfortunate aspect of dumbing-down is actually forgetting Who we truly are. The door to that answer is on my channel. Just a courtesy reminder. :o) Love to you, Joe, and your passion is not lost on me.
So weird to see someone mention "Idiocracy". From the time I first viewed that movie, I have told friends of mine that sadly, that is the road we are headed down. Personally, I didn't find the movie funny at all. It scared the absolute shit out of me.
I love technology, but not the lack of quality, in an age when we could have the highest quality. This is a part of the capitalist high turnover of cheep goods to sustain a 5 day work week. Soon people will realize that the junk in their homes is as worthless as the junk in their pockets & banks. I purchased a pure wool, hand spun, natural dyed & woven rug & somebody said to me : you could have got a rug for 1/4 of the price. but I like quality myself & it's a joy to feel it under my bear feet
watch the movie "idiocracy", it's a funny comedy that is very scary at the same time! It's a glimpse into the future of america getting dumber under corporate control.
I think what you are reffering to is not just the dumbing down of society, but also the DEGRADATION of it as well.
There was a time when people cared enough to be concerned about other idividuals, it mattered when laws were broken.Now it's "I 'll take what I can if I can and I don't care who I hurt.The whole world can pay for my mistakes;as long as I have what I want."

Silver Futurist, you got it right. The banksters and the USSA Government want people dumbed down following trivial matters like Sports and Justin Bieber so they can continue to rob us blind. They also know that with everyone out of shape there is a small chance of an armed revolution. I left the USSA, but I look at my group of friends and 80% probably couldn't run down the block without any gear without panting and keeling over. It's sad. Stay skinny, keep doing yoga, and keep fighting 4 silver.

Gold used to be $20.67/oz before the Roosevelt confiscation and re-pegging at $35, whereby the US gov't stole 41% of the nations' wealth. It's amazing to think. (But the recent heist by the Wall St./banking oligarchs makes that look like child's play.) The scariest thing to contemplate, which nobody wants to talk about, is that the world's population is unsustainable without cheap energy and debt, both of which are about to evaporate. Research the shape any naturally-occurring population curve.
The Insiders are destroying America and its people. First they must get rid of the past which our ancestors made happen then they will replace it with how they want it to be for them on earth. Less people means less threats against their Agenda. Eliminating the population is being done in many ways.
Great video friend, I always knew there was something wrong when I was younger and all of a sudden people thought reality television was the greatest thing ever.
Great video! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we returned to being a nation of craftsmen? Maybe all this economic shake-up will start a trend away from 'degrees in worthlessness,' and toward high quality? That would be a nice silver lining =)
check out "beware of The Collectors Coach" videos. You've been sucked into their web of hype. You're enthusiasm is great but you are still a novice in the precious metals business.
Great video and that was some good music. You're thin, but well within healthy limits. Yeah, being thin these days stands out a lot because most people are overweight or obese.
i think we still do produce some pretty high art, it just takes 1000 times as many people to produce the same amount of high quality art. quality work was almost ubiquitous 200 years ago, today it is rare. same with silver. society's intelligence seems to be concentrated similar to its wealth today.
SF, all is not lost... I'm sure you've heard of Daft Punk's original score for Tron Legacy. I listen to that sound track almost daily while working. It makes every task I do at work seem so very "EPIC" in scale. "Daft Punk recruited 90-piece orchestra for Tron: Legacy soundtrack"... it is innovation and evolution in music at is best. Who new Daft Punk can write such a moving and epic score.
Point taken and great vid... Yes, YouTube is our revolution against the mainstream BS. -STFM

Great video, we used to have a tradition for classical music here in Norway, nowadays its Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. BTW, government announced price controls on dental services yesterday, and a takeover of the whole industry within a couple of years. The argument is to make it free for everybody, and the crowd cheers of course.
You are absolutely correct! Where is the art? Where are the great works? They are all around us for those willing to listen.
Listen to Beethoven's 9th Symphony - 3rd movement. He was stone-deaf when he wrote this wonderful piece. I read a documentary about his work on this symphony. He cut the legs off his piano ... placed the piano directly on the floor, and put his ear to the floor to hear the notes he chose for this symphony.
@eatandtravel I have heard musical compositions in some video games that would "wow" the greatest composers of the past. The musicians who write the background music for these games are quite unnoticed and undervalued as they are ingenious ... like silver.
@eatandtravel Am I absent of culture because I played a video game? It must been my choice of words in that video, I am not afraid to try things that other people have compartmentalized, video games are one of them.
I have come across many "culture posers," people who try to act cultured by doing "culture things" but their intent is similar to one who attends a class because they want the degree, not because they genuinely enjoy it.
@silverfuturist i myself, think todays music doesnt even compare to classical. thats because i love classical. a persons culture is what they enjoy & value. the notion, that classical music is cultured and eveything else is not. i think that has a lot of the "keep up with the jones" mentality. high society supposedly likes it, so people feel the need to get to the point, where they like it too. that, like everything, is some people, not everyone
You are one of the coolest people, seriously, I love your brain. I also love your shirt, and those shakers I commented on those last time you showcased them. I also love your Bantam Chickens I may get a few myself but my girls are kind of mean we shall see. Thanks for making these videos I always look forward to seeing them.. :)
@eatandtravel How about honesty and integrity, really; he is right, we can all handle the truth, right? How is he talking down to the people? Quality has gone down, it is undeniable. He is 100% on key in my opinion.
What you don't have Bieber Fever?? Oh wait I don't either. I think he's gay or come out of the closet. Nothing against gays though. My favorite is Mozart. And I love 50's & 60's because I think time froze and their music and songs touch some people more than others and I'm 30's yrs old. No one I know likes it they're more into hip hop rap u know those modern crap they puke out these days.
When you mention Youtube being part of the solution I think you have something there. If for a brief moment you do pause, take in your surroundings and see life for what it really is, it's so easy for social pressures to make you feel different and abnormal. It's so easy to let yourself get stuffed back inside the box. Getting to watch people like you online regularly means its much harder to lose those moments of clarity.
I love U as a silver investor but, I"m sorry as far as I understand it. We DO NOT just print money like Zimbabwe. We have fiscal policies that prevent us from printing money in an uncontrolled manner. Our problem is we Ignored some of those polices and borrowed out of hand...Now we have a huge Debt of 14 trillion dollars. We need to pay off our loans and stop borrowing. I've done my research... However as a Silver Investor keep feeding the Speculative Bubble.... Thank you,
@MUDSWAT The debts cannot be repaid. They will, however, be printed down to manageable sizes. QE3, QE4, QE5, etc.
Yes, you are correct, we will not see 100 billion dollar US notes in our lifetime. I'm fairly certain we WILL see the end of the dollar as the reserve currency and $100 silver in the next 10 years.
@Ilovehistorychannel I've done a good deal of research already... I'm sure theres not many headlines on this subject I have not heard or can not debunk. Try me....
@MUDSWAT when china and japan and others where buying us bonds, then you could say your not printing money like Zimbabwe, but when the fed starts writing itself iou's, then your just printing money, we would all be self made billionaires if we could write ourself iou's
@MUDSWAT Yes you are right about the money printing, a few videos ago I talked about how M0 hasn't changed, how there can't be wheelbarrows full of money. I also have several deflation videos from a few months back.
@MUDSWAT the second comment is that the fate of the dollar is the same as other paper currencies in that it will become valueless in the future... doesn't necessarily mean we will have trillion dollar notes, but they all become obsolete.
Very well done. The music was a good touch. I have begun gardening, writing, have not had cable for a year and my "social networking" involves talking with people one-on-one ... it has becomes necessary to become detached from the media culture in order to be happy and successful.
Regarding classical music, for whom was it originally written? Mozart, Beethoven, etc composed for their patrons who were in the nobility. I doubt the regular people listened to that kind of music. They had their folk songs and so on. The music of today (pop), about which you lament, is for the common people. There are still composers who produce complex, beautiful music. It's just not played on the radio because the audience, the affluent and educated, is so small. Nothing's changed really.
@silenceinthehouseoft Good point, before radio classical music required having access or proximity to the expense resources for an orchestra. With today's technology, we can have access to almost everything the affluent have, except their physical lifestyle.
@silenceinthehouseoft A second note: in college I briefly worked for an assembly plant. A young guy fresh from Poland that worked there listened to classical music on his headphones during work, the others noted how different that was, he thought it was "normal."
@silverfuturist I'm not saying you're wrong, but a former Soviet Block country may be a poor example. If popular music as was monopolized by the government as it was in the USSR people may very well have been brought up listening to classical.
Today's music is horrible. The "artists" can't sing, so they rap. They can't write original stuff, so they copy oldies. Many don't even play an instrument. I sound more like my father everyday.
Way back, when i was a wee little laddy in 1919, one of the great contemporary composers of our time, well maybe not your time, Carl Neilson had written a fine musical score called Aladdin suite part 1, check it out on youtube, it has 19,200 views. I know you'll enjoy it , keep up the good work !! ;o/
The truth of the matter is that the apex of our culture was very short lived and not so very long ago. When that music was written and performed MOST people were impoverished and illiterate. Only the upper class had a chance to hear and enjoy that music. Most had no access to it. In the 1800's that sterling silver hair brush would have been the total sum of the average person's wealth at that time. Today even the poor have access to books and music.TODAY WE CHOOSE TO BE DUMB.
@silverfuturist Back in the day only the elite were considered people (this includes "we the people" in the US constitution: it never meant to include the poor and non-whites). Peasants were little more than swine and the fine craftsmanship and art they produced was monopolized by the elite, who used it to display status and power. Those products don't really represent the greatness of Western culture, but the apex of elite power in a social system that is the model to which elites aspire.
Yes silverfuturist you are correct. They are intentionally dumbing us down. Her is a must see video playlist which all Westerners must see. This video playlist will wake up all who view it in its entirety. How much longer will it be until Silver hits $40 dollars per ounce? Two weeks? (Just remove the 4 spaces to view the video playlist. Down with Zionism!

@nanabijou62 Choice is an illusion. Today's society is dominated by the PR industry and thought is more strictly controlled and regimented than at any other time in human history, and on an unprecedented global scale. On average we are less free today than illiterate and impoverished peons in the 1800s - indeed that's partly why schooling was instituted. The average American is kept dumber and more strictly indoctrinated than the average Soviet or the average Chinese ever have been.
@DonVoghano Choice is never an illusion when it is made with both knowledge and wisdom. The fact that you know that there is a PR industry proves this. It is up to each individual to decide what is truth and what is fiction and where the boundaries lie. We are at an age where knowledge is readily accessible to virtually all in western society. The illusion lies in thinking that we are powerless. A new renaissance is on the horizon, the awakening has only just begun. Take heart, be patient.
@bammbamm12 With comments such as "Shaddap", I can clearly see what choice you have made. Thank you for illustrating my point. Your poor grammar is only matched by your intellect.
@nanabijou62 I love that we have access to all the worlds' classic literature, music and works of art just at our fingertips. How absolutely amazing! And we can meet and converse with people all over the world. Many positives exist in this time in history if we don't allow ourselves to be lulled by mediocrity. I know I appreciate Joe's challenge. I need to be reminded.....; )
I agree Joe. When I see old buildings and the beautiful craftsmanship that was done with basic hand tools and ladders. now we have all the fancy electric tools and manlifts and such but throw up plain ugly ones as fast as possible.
I can feel your pain, first time poster. I am from India, came here in 95. I could see/feel the decline accelerate in the last 15 years. They "tried" to do the same systematically in India during the British rule. But the spiritual strength of India was is stronger. America needs a Gandhi.
@padmanu With all due respect Indians and India are not immune to this dumbing down of society. If anything Indians are more susceptible to it. Have u been to India and seen the dumbing down of that society? Turn on Indian television and you will see that it;'s not much different than US television. The credit card craze has also invaded India and many youth are now in the habit of spending money they don't have (via credit cards).
@padmanu What we need is a caste system, overwhelming stench and endless grinding poverty. Who needs Thomas Jefferson. Bollywood, yes Bollywood, that's what we need. We're doing a good enough job of turning the US into a Third World hellhole. Get over yourself.
Best upload yet. They do want us dumbed down and out of shape, ( pretty much worthless)There is a reason bruce lee was killed by the illuminati. They didn't want people to know how to fight and defend themselves and properly use there minds. Bruce lee taught people how to do this.
America is being reverse engineered. This is NOT a random event.
There are many videos on Youtube about the Frankfurt School,a communist ideology about destroying America by destroying the culture,with communism being the endgame.
I just got a little sad after seeing all the links to the Charlotte Iserbyt interviews in the sidebar and then thinking about how so few people know who she is let alone what she's been trying to warn us all about for the last fifteen to twenty years. I was trying to get my hands on an original copy of her book but they're selling for upwards of $250 on Amazon :(
Anyhow, thank you, silverfuturist! I appreciate all that you're doing.
This video resonates strongly with me. I hope every day that the people who are in my life will awaken to the social engineering that bombards us with social poison on the television and radio daily. What we need is nothing short of a second Renaissance; we must rediscover the beauty and brilliance of our past and bring it back. At the same time, we must identify that which is holding us back and dumbing us down and eliminate it. Name, we must tear down this globalist fascist system.
I was given a funny look today because I listen to classical music and have an understanding of Western Civilization. I guess I dont get out enough, and I might be better off by not doing so.
you have a way of expressing a great thought here today, unfortunately the symphonies are disappearing and soon there will only be a handful of great ones in only the wealthiest cities..yes all they want us to be good at is swiping out credit cards and getting in line.
@gibbo675 TuPac, however you spell it is some of the stupidest music I have ever heard. I've witnessed so many people who say he was a genious. He put out the same ole cookie-cutter garbage that fills our airwaves today. Every pop song today sounds the same. There was a time not long ago when music stemmed from deep expression that cannot be expressed in language. Now, it's just a bunch of commercialized nonsense. I rarely listent to the radio any more.
The Romans elite said "Give them the Circus Maximus and bread and they will be happy" Yes like Rome we are happy watching our sports and the average male knows everything about sports but continues to be clueless on the fact we like Rome are being dumbed down and on the decline. Our currency s being devalued our debt has increased our army overstretched and our so called leaders do nothing. We may be on the edge of entering a new dark age.
I always get inspired by playing the entire Half Life and Half Life 2 series, which I do at least once a year. The Freeman shows his excellence in all things.
Why? B/c its cheaper to push base garbage to the sheeple.
Its all about how corporations can maximize profits. Its a cycle and feeds on itself.More crap , more people that watch ,think other people watch and think its normal. Basically ,its the fall of Rome again.
Careful with collectors coach. He sometime pushed diamonds which is a terrible investment
check out "Adiemus" right here on youtube. Awesome uplifting adn motivational song where the words are not words at all but sounds. I think you'll like it.
I share your grief, Joe. I am small like you, and it's difficult to find shirts without love handle pouches on the sides.
If you want to feel better about art, there are many great musicians here on YT who do it for the love of creating. For example, check out our many originals on bohemianmememusic.
Thanks for making this video with your thoughts. I thought I was the only one who felt like this. You make me less depressed.

Great video, we used to have a tradition for classical music here in Norway, nowadays its Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. BTW, government announced price controls on dental services yesterday, and a takeover of the whole industry within a couple of years. The argument is to make it free for everybody, and the crowd cheers of course.

You are absolutely correct! Where is the art? Where are the great works? They are all around us for those willing to listen.
Listen to Beethoven's 9th Symphony - 3rd movement. He was stone-deaf when he wrote this wonderful piece. I read a documentary about his work on this symphony. He cut the legs off his piano ... placed the piano directly on the floor, and put his ear to the floor to hear the notes he chose for this symphony.

@eatandtravel Am I absent of culture because I played a video game? It must been my choice of words in that video, I am not afraid to try things that other people have compartmentalized, video games are one of them.
I have come across many "culture posers," people who try to act cultured by doing "culture things" but their intent is similar to one who attends a class because they want the degree, not because they genuinely enjoy it.

@silverfuturist i myself, think todays music doesnt even compare to classical. thats because i love classical. a persons culture is what they enjoy & value. the notion, that classical music is cultured and eveything else is not. i think that has a lot of the "keep up with the jones" mentality. high society supposedly likes it, so people feel the need to get to the point, where they like it too. that, like everything, is some people, not everyone

When you mention Youtube being part of the solution I think you have something there. If for a brief moment you do pause, take in your surroundings and see life for what it really is, it's so easy for social pressures to make you feel different and abnormal. It's so easy to let yourself get stuffed back inside the box. Getting to watch people like you online regularly means its much harder to lose those moments of clarity.

I love U as a silver investor but, I"m sorry as far as I understand it. We DO NOT just print money like Zimbabwe. We have fiscal policies that prevent us from printing money in an uncontrolled manner. Our problem is we Ignored some of those polices and borrowed out of hand...Now we have a huge Debt of 14 trillion dollars. We need to pay off our loans and stop borrowing. I've done my research... However as a Silver Investor keep feeding the Speculative Bubble.... Thank you,

Regarding classical music, for whom was it originally written? Mozart, Beethoven, etc composed for their patrons who were in the nobility. I doubt the regular people listened to that kind of music. They had their folk songs and so on. The music of today (pop), about which you lament, is for the common people. There are still composers who produce complex, beautiful music. It's just not played on the radio because the audience, the affluent and educated, is so small. Nothing's changed really.
silenceinthehouseoft 10 months ago
@silenceinthehouseoft Good point, before radio classical music required having access or proximity to the expense resources for an orchestra. With today's technology, we can have access to almost everything the affluent have, except their physical lifestyle.
silverfuturist 10 months ago
@silenceinthehouseoft A second note: in college I briefly worked for an assembly plant. A young guy fresh from Poland that worked there listened to classical music on his headphones during work, the others noted how different that was, he thought it was "normal."
silverfuturist 10 months ago
@silverfuturist I'm not saying you're wrong, but a former Soviet Block country may be a poor example. If popular music as was monopolized by the government as it was in the USSR people may very well have been brought up listening to classical.

The truth of the matter is that the apex of our culture was very short lived and not so very long ago. When that music was written and performed MOST people were impoverished and illiterate. Only the upper class had a chance to hear and enjoy that music. Most had no access to it. In the 1800's that sterling silver hair brush would have been the total sum of the average person's wealth at that time. Today even the poor have access to books and music.TODAY WE CHOOSE TO BE DUMB.

@silverfuturist Back in the day only the elite were considered people (this includes "we the people" in the US constitution: it never meant to include the poor and non-whites). Peasants were little more than swine and the fine craftsmanship and art they produced was monopolized by the elite, who used it to display status and power. Those products don't really represent the greatness of Western culture, but the apex of elite power in a social system that is the model to which elites aspire.

@nanabijou62 Choice is an illusion. Today's society is dominated by the PR industry and thought is more strictly controlled and regimented than at any other time in human history, and on an unprecedented global scale. On average we are less free today than illiterate and impoverished peons in the 1800s - indeed that's partly why schooling was instituted. The average American is kept dumber and more strictly indoctrinated than the average Soviet or the average Chinese ever have been.
DonVoghano 10 months ago
@DonVoghano Choice is never an illusion when it is made with both knowledge and wisdom. The fact that you know that there is a PR industry proves this. It is up to each individual to decide what is truth and what is fiction and where the boundaries lie. We are at an age where knowledge is readily accessible to virtually all in western society. The illusion lies in thinking that we are powerless. A new renaissance is on the horizon, the awakening has only just begun. Take heart, be patient.

At the same time, we must identify that which is holding us back and dumbing us down and eliminate it. Name, we must tear down this globalist fascist system.
