Seriously, fuck employment by OpposingViews

People with opposing views coexisting peacefully through diplomatic discussions is an ideal world. But unfortunately, that is merely an unreachable dream these days — because everything is polarized. Perhaps things would be better if we sought the truth as a common ground instead of competing on which side is the best.

I used the footage I filmed from weeks ago of different people reading quotes from two high profile individuals: Donald Trump and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. 

I layered three recorded voices over one another in Audacity to create an irritating, grating sound snippet, which I hope to blare through a speaker as I project the video loops I made yesterday onto wall space. I hope the installation will capture the opposing views on climate change; each individual not allowing the other to speak.

I used two recordings of the quote from Donald Trump, and layered softly spoken people together, while I had the third person’s voice alone for Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s quote as her voice was quite animated. I liked the contrast between the softly spoken people and the more animated individuals who I filmed.  

________________________________________________________________

The quotes revolved around climate change and where as follows:

‘Is there climate change? Yeah. Will it go back like this? I mean, will it change back. Probably, that’s what I think. I believe it goes this way, and I believe yes, uh, man, meaning...us people; men and women, to be politically correct, but - cause everyone says “man” but we have to add women to that one too...’

- Donald Trump on Climate Change

‘Oh my gosh, if you melt those ice-sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the water level will rise to the Statue of Liberty’s elbow...Okay? So, we’re talking, not so much “it’s so hot it’s going kill me”, no, we’re talking about sea level change. And where are all of the greatest cities in the world? They’re on the oceans’ edge, the river’s edge.’

- Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Climate Change

*Note: Watching the interview again, I realized I made a slight error with recording DeGrasse Tyson’s quote: “the water levels will rise to the Statue of Liberty’s elbow..Okay?” should have been “the water levels will rise and come to the level of the Statue of Liberty’s elbow”.

🍓 Dear Society,

If somebody has differing points of view that aren't the same as yours, it is not ok for you to lash out, send hate, or even death throats towards this person. You do not get to decide to play judge, jury, and executioner in anybody's life. And if you think you do, it is best you take yourself offline and sincerely reflect upon your action. Really ask yourself if what you just did is aligned in your highest good or was it from a place of lack of emotional control and ego. People do not have to agree with you, and if this is how you act when they don't, it is best that you seek help and do some inner work. Lead with love, not hate, and do better. I know you can.

Sincerely, Me 🍓
