I think this video takes one thing out of the equation - CHOICE.
Yesterday I chose to read a bit in my "walden" book of Thoreau instead of going to drink bear at a lame party. Now it is true that the words written by Thoreau influence and change who I am as stated in the video. But I chose to get them to influence me by reading it instead of going to a lame party... thoreau also one day decided to write his book instead of drinking beer at a lame party. Our decisions make us who we are!
@occupyknowledge This is true to an extent but you can only choose from the options available to you. You can't choose to read in a language you don't understand. Politically you can only choose from those who can afford to run for election. You can only choose from the TV channels available to you, and soon you'll only be able to choose website that aren't banned or crippled by SOPA (if you're in the USA).
@occupyknowledge I think what your missing is this: yes you can choose to DO what you want, but WHAT you want isn't necissarily up to you. This video is saying that with the amount of weight these establishments have on our lives, they could shape our desires before were even old enough to know. They build us, then all of our choices are from within who they made us. But yeah, good thing for things like zeitgeist to help pull us out of it!
It wouldn't surprise me if there genuinely is dislike for this video. A lot of people can't wrap their minds and specifically their hearts around what TZM advocates. It's completely bizarre to most people to put others (especially people that don't even exist yet) ahead of their own personal needs and wants of today.
I've still never once yet debated any true free market capitalist, socialist, communist, naturalist etc and had them defeat the underlying structure of TZM which is Sustainability
The "current" just carries most people,, No Oars, No Navigating, just being Carried along. A Great Line from Jaws,, "why don't we start leading the shark back to shore instead of Him leading us out to sea?"
Oh, those automatic dislike... whatever they are. There's probably a proper term for that.. but, I think the number of likes will supersede the false dislikes.
@pianomist I think they're just trying to lead easily influenced people into thinking "oh, 20 people dislike this. Maybe I should too to fit in somehow". Whether it's bots, user(s) with multiple accounts who subscribe to these channels with the sole intention of "dislike stalking" (or whatever) or just a bunch of people who take issue with the pure sense of the content, I don't know. Still it's OK. They are welcome to think what they want. They only inhibit themselves at the end of the day.
The word is 'whet'; not 'wet'...
