We can sit and worry about climate change. OR, we can get up and do something about it. Here's the official trailer for THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Is it too weird to say that we are this system?
If that is true, "changing" comes later, after realizing WHY we build exactly this system, the understanding may change our own vision, and through us, the world we create.

Luke Hancock Maybe "we" didn't build it. Maybe it was conceived for us. Have you heard of Edward bernays? 1920/30.
Lorand Kedves Luke Hancock - No, I haven't, though I knew a bit about Joseph Goebbels & Partners, and can see through most manipulation because I have a seemingly exceptional motivation to see. I have trained my brain very hard (30+ years...) to accept and process things that I don't like.
I know why there is no real chance in showing people how bad this world is. Relax, they already feel it! But it feels so bad they don't want to see and know it, so although they applaud the yet another "we gonna die" movie, book, but happy for the ad break. The next day, they will happily run away from this idea and continue what they did yesterday. And yes, they accept the propaganda, switch to Big Bang Theory and Marvel movies instead of thinking, because it feels better. So what?
I checked Edward Bernays and the Art of Public Manipulation and I must admit: it was boring and biased. To me, this is like yelling against the law of gravity.
1: cooperating community is more efficient than fighting individuals
2: human race breeded itself to work well in communities;
3: community is formed around aligned motivations;
4: creating aligned motivations is the most important element of control (be it Jesus Christ, Gandhi, Rothschild/Soros/...., Steve Jobs or Adolf Hitler).
Consequentially: a sustainable, working civilization is NOT free of patterns and their propaganda but 1: its all members are educated how to judge the propaganda and that their personal judgement, responsibility and ethics is a fundamental need of the civilization, and 2: they therefore "breed" the pattern-makers with positive motivations.
Obviously, ours is NOT a such civilization.
If one is able to read and understand Lao-ce, Platon, Gandhi, Einstein, ... or the Bible, Krishna, Buddha, ... without superstition, this is nothing new. If you prefer modern context, you may check this: http://hajnalvilag.hu/projects/TasteOfLuck.pdf as a teaser.
