Lot of discussion going on here . . .

The way youtube just jumbles up all the comments is really driving me fucking crazy.

Until you got to the end of the story... I was thinking it was actually quite nice in a way. Maybe it wasn't a lack of motivation or a lack of any sort of calling... but perhaps too much interest in too many things. I know my biggest problem is that I have so many things that interest me that I can't focus... so it does seem like a lack of ambition. This might be interesting for a video response. Hopefully what I typed up here made some sense though... if not I'll clarify if I can :)

[ghostwriter511]

Not lack of ambition, lack of dedication to any one thing, any ONE calling.

To tell you the truth I'm not sure what the whole POINT of the story is. Can someone help me out?

[Harminatron]

its saw but I can reconize myself in this story but Im not super attractive and not good at everything but there isnt much that I realy enjoy its ass if Im just a body and only anger is left and joy and happines only returns once in a while just to keep this shit bareable

anyway like your video's im watching them for a while now and it kinda inspired me to read again I read alot when I was younger but I read less and less when I went to high school

Whats my purpose?

To read or listen to the audio book My Ishmael...

Then I can understand you all better, (or myself)...

No viel here...

Didn't the matrix say that when the utopia existed there was mass rejection and mass suicide because it was not believable?  They lost mass amounts of colonies?

Can that be going on here some what?

I know there is much more to us then biology...

And crapy food blocks our ability to feel what we need to feel as humans... Were powerful beyond measure...

[JeffParker45]

Don't you guys understand that your text on this video is providing a purpose?

I'm not talking about the helping each other console purpose...

I'm talking about, undoing the vail...

Yes... Quite depressing when you see the world for what it really is... It's a shock to know it's all planed out.... Sucks...

But the very fact that your communicating in a global network right on this page will evolve into a better world for all without the control... Can't you see that?

<3 these books.  You a very good orator.

[ghostwriter511]

For lending. I actually have five copies, but two are out right now.

[Kirilltraceur]

ugh that is good.

[Kirilltraceur]

some might disagree, but I like your point.

I think it is best to try to leave an imprint on the world... but if nothing calls

I dont know...

hah... I want to hear the rest of that pasage.

well, why the heck not, ill go by the book.
