@DeliBalta02 Germany is an interesting country. It seems to be one of the few examples of a state union-welfare system that the rest of the world doesn't try to undermine and topple into oblivion. But yet, at the same time, it has the highest GDP in the world, largely because it DOES have that social system of human investment AND because German culture, at its core, has always been one that prizes synthesis, innovation, and efficiency.
@TheLogicJunkie It's a cruel world in which the least thoughtful people are reproducing the most and the most thoughtful are isolated due to simple mathematical probability. In fact, besides my therapist, the only contact I have with other intelligent people is in text over the internet. I'm 19 and I already feel burned out.
I've been listening to your rants, and I love them. As a high school drop-out, I never bought the get-rich-quick-scheme that is a college degree and have always had plenty of downtime and money, in fact this month of April all I'm doing is drinking beer and downloading porn. It seems you're upset, and rightfully so, that life is "designed" to suck you dry and discard you. This is the drama that all started when the first cell divided. You're burning out because death is our destiny. Sux 4 sure.
And here descends the swarm of commentators to drain that last bit of energy from you: @TheLogicJunkie FU, motha -f*^&$%^& you should burn in the deepest hell for that blasphemous dander you speaketh. @TheLogicJunkie Peanuts taste delicious @TheLogicJunkie We would be nothing without technology @TheLogicJunkie You stoopid poop head @TheLogicJunkie Our society is the best one there ever was in the whole universe @Above Shut the f*ck up! Youtube comments always try to strike you down...
I am burning out as well, I am a senior in high school and i haven't learned shit in my years of formal schooling. And now everyone is talking about college college college. It just never ends. It is just social manipulation and glorified babysitting. I can't wait to get the fuck out of high school so I can get out in the real world and learn a few things.
After all those years of schooling, the one thing I learned in high school that I consider the most useful was the typing class I took on a lark. All these years hence, my typing speed has never dropped below 61 words per minute.
I now believe, in hindsight, that the best classes I could've taken in high school, were the "down to earth" classes, like accounting, shop, computers, and electronics. All the fancy-pants literati stuff they tracked us onto never did a damn thing for me.
@ninincnals I have been through college, and now I do not want to go to school ever again. The pressure is insane, and really not worth it. Going out into the real world is the only way you really do learn anything. When you go to school, no one teaches you any real life skills. Thank goodness for my mother and father; they taught me how to do things that would actually be applicable to daily real life situations. Good luck.
You are so right. I need so little yet our culture forces us to live in housing that is larger than needed, more rules, taxes, fees, fines, monitoring etc. Most of us are not living. Even a compulsion to work out is a problem for many people who are gym addicts. We are truly slaves and our money is debased which is a form of stealing.
I feel the same way about technology. Seems to me all this technology is directed at making people to be more productive, produce more at less cost, at increasing speed but in the end it doesn't make life any easier. I think the main problem is that technology is created with commerce in mind. Nobody cares about making life easier to live. Everyone cares about how to make cheaper shit and sell it more effectively. This is all terribly wrong.
You are right. Technology was sold as a time saver for more leisure time. We need to live and be social and we also need alone time. People can not just live in constant anxiety for fear of losing their jobs and everything else. This is a great video.
You seem like you would like CKY's album "Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild." It seems, to me, to be based around the world's current "devolution", and it's an amazing album.
*L* No. I chose the title of my book to be completely facetious, because it expresses the obscene supreme commandment that rules the entire human race.
Indeed, my friend (I don't even know you but, i Relate definitely}
My mother is a teacher & she doesn't agree at all w/ all the way the Educational system has evolved {More like devolved}
In 2 words: Impersonal & pointlessness.
Anyway...
In relation to the Plasticity of our society, the Disney~Pixar movie "Wall-E" satires and recognizes, in a humorously exagerated manner, the exact "Plasticity" you speak of.
Flexibility as often described now... the ability to multi-task. In some ways it is great, but in most other ways it is often used as an excuse to compound workloads for those under pressure as it is.
Yep; exactly. The uber-clique has achieved the perfect brainwashing of the rest of humanity, to always strive for "excellence" and to always accept an unbearable sense of guilt if they can't completely deny their own human needs, to produce exponentially more, for exponentially less -- unto an early grave, while the Rockefellers, the world banking clique, and their shadowy assassin-enforcers all sit back in plush, exploitative comfort and just snicker.
We count on it and others to help run our lives. The only thing that would make me truelly happy as a person would be to have nothing. Build my own house, find my own food, and live my life in nature. Thats all long gone and just a hopefull dreams. There is no excape and that is what saddens us all. I'm very tired to and I'm still very young, what do I have to look forward to?
Well, I'd say that the key is to withdraw as much as possible from anything that makes you feel like that, and make yourself into a living, breathing beacon to attract others like yourself.
Also, use the internet to find places and cultures around the nation and the world that cater to people of your mindset. Figure out clearly who you are and what's important to you in life, and then find a career that addresses those needs.
I'm still trying to collect my thoughts on these videos. Although, I feel that is some of the problem. Those of us that know what is going on around us and are just tired, have all these feelings, but we don't know how to express them or the words to make sense of it all. At least I don't. There is such a overwhelming pressure put on us day to day. We have to work like crazy to still have nothing and just the bare minimum. Technology has made nothing better in many ways.
I agree... And I also think that the biggest problem people have today is that very few people are taking the time and making the effort to clearly identify these vague feelings and thoughts, and then to put them into words, using a clear language... That's what I'm trying to do. And you're welcome to join me, of course.

@andrewh817 Well, stick around here. Like attracts like.
I also recommend that you pick up two books:
1) "The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem" by Nathaniel Branden, and
2) "Narcissism: Denial of the True Self" by Alexander Lowen.

Also -- and how could I forget, but
3) anything by Steve Chandler, such as "Reinventing Yourself'.

Well, yeah, the society has definitely become plastic in its character, but "plasticity" also refers to the ability of something to be changeable.
