642. Pessimism and the Embracing The Blank Page As I briefly mentioned in my previous blog, pessimism has been one of the very ‘ingrained’ patterns in me that I’ve become more aware of lately since finding out I was pregnant.

According to a news feature from the journal Nature, shortsightedness could be on the rise because children are spending less time outdoors than they used to.

In short: myopia has undergone a marked increase in the past 50 years, and several studies link this rise to the amount of time that children are spending indoors and away from high levels of…

The Brotherhood of Man (1946)

An animated film, in humorous style, which makes the point that dissimilarities between people are not basic but result from superficial environmental influences.

The abstract concept “society” means to the individual human being the sum total of his direct and indirect relations to his contemporaries and to all the people of earlier generations. The individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work by himself; but he depends so much upon society—in his physical, intellectual, and emotional existence—that it is impossible to think of him, or to understand him, outside the framework of society. It is “society” which provides man with food, clothing, a home, the tools of work, language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought; his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments of the many millions past and present who are all hidden behind the small word 'society'." - Albert Einstein

Doll Face - The Power Media Can Have

A study done in Israel showed that school-age kids spend roughly the same amount of time in front of the television as they spend in school. And adults, well, usually spend a lot more time in front of the TV than in school. And the influences of the Media on society are all too clear. Who controls this influence, controls the people. Their eating habits, their clothing preferences, what they'll spend money on, which toys their children will nag them to buy, what they'll think is worthy and good, and what they think is rotten and evil. However, now, the power is moving into the hands of the people. Thank you Internet! And you too, who cares about his own future and the future of his offspring, would be very wise to use this tool, as it educates and reforms the opinions of people and can, in little time, bring us to a state of peaceful coexistence with nature and our human peers.

Interesting to note: After the movie Pretty Woman, the percentage of young American girls turning to prostitution skyrocketed

Jacque Fresco on Larry King (1974) (summary)

Creator of the Venus Project, Jacque Fresco, talks about what the future holds, and mostly about the ills of our society.

Namely, competition, which he believes to be an affront to nature, or as he brilliantly puts it: "What competition exists in your body? ...You'd rot away in a month, if every organ in your body went out for itself"

And education: "Population control depends on education. We feel that an educated population requires no control" Question:

What do you think Jacque means by "An educated population requires no control"?
