I think they should teach more than they do in schools. I was lucky in High school and middle school I could take finance and psychological classes, they have helped me somewhat. But young kids and teens today need to learn the truth, because people think they should react with violance, magick, or in unreasonable ways to things. I love philosphy and history books. But you need to realize Media is to some extent goverment and it's own business.

@ZenBarracuda same could be said for so may things. Just about any "ISM" is great on paper til the peolpe get involved. Mckenna is SO calm and positive and doesn't point ANY fingers. No conspiracy. Just straight talk about everything from the human condition and what we can do to help it GROW. So sad he's dead. He was like hicks and carlin without the comedy and he was a TRUE shaman. BEAUTIFUL man. He and Graham Hancock. I am far from surprised i think more people are upset then let on

look up my facebook group, WASTED YOUTH. ive never looked up any type of video like this until tonight, and i started the group a couple months back stating that i had the same ideas in my head, what i want to do is just make the most people possible aware by making a facebook group. it has not taken off but i am going to give it a shot again. thanks for your time.

@Carnsuelo I have heard of terrence McKenna. I haven't read his work yet. Nietzsche is dangerous. I very nearly quit my job after reading his work. It was only this week that I decided it probably wouldn't be a good idea, all things considered. I've never really fit in either. You may be surprised to learn that 1 in 4 people in the UK experience mental health problems during their lifetime. That would suggest that a great many people have similar feelings of alienation. Just be yourself :-)

@ZenBarracuda never read nietche, but i have heard a LITTLE about his philosophy. have you ever heard Terrence Mckenna? I've never really "fit in". when i was a kid it drove me nuts. now i wear it proudly. I never understood why my teachers would get so upset when i expressed an independent thought. I quit school after i realized it was all bs. My parents supported me cuz i explained my reasons so well. Fitting in is OVERRATED. Why would u want to in this world anyway?

@girlphriend I've started reading the German philosopher, Nietzsche, who believed that in order to live an authentic life, the individual must create meaning in a meaningless world. He thought you should live in a way that expresses your own unique self. Nietzsche felt you should master your desires around the focused goal you have given your life. Sure, it's easy and it's comfortable to fit in. But if it isn't authentic, it just isn't real.
THIS is what we need to teach our children about. Instead of letting them learn from TV. I work with kids and I see how their brains are molded. Parents have actually told me how "educational" tv can be. i used to think so to, usually only watchin History and Discovery etc...but how easily the past is rewritten, and how easily "facts and data" can be skewed or misinterpreted. I fear humanity is doomed by its ignorance, pride and greed
