Very good short video that serves as a summary to the great dysfunctionality of the world we live in now. Nothing particularly new here but serves as a primer to anyone who wishes to know our current situation as a species. Here is link:

Nice video. The Blue Pill please, now.

Nice time-lapse imagery and photography, but the voice over commentary is trite and dull. I turned it off when the narrator started whining that he was totally controlled by money and so couldn't think independently and had no free will.

Good video. Nice to see young people with an awareness of the world we live in.
Will it create change? Probably not, but no reason to not keep trying.

Yes, the world we live in has been manufactured for us so we will be exactly who we are, consumers and workers. It is not mere coincidence. Our sources of information keep us blind to the nature of the world and our illusion of freedom makes us complacent about trying to understand our situation. The creators of our reality and have an admirable job and now that the inevitable course of events are leading us all to catastrophe, they want to control us even more by eavesdropping on us and tightening the noose of security and force around us. So at least some of us recognize the Matrix we live in.

Has some beautiful scenery. My camera and I are both jealous.

[Hawkcreek]

[quote="Plantagenet"]Wow! You worked at PS-9? I didn't know that.

Yeah, I was there for about 6 months doing commissioning on the reconfiguration of the pipeline.
Had a great time.

That's pretty, looks like something ot of a dream.

I would think it is the other way around we are sleeping in the bed (world) they made for us. As for baked into the System nothing is baked into the system. Human providence is always active and the System is nothing more then the interaction of us same humans at a particular period or moment in time.
