Justifying Corporate Salaries in America

[ttystikk]

An ignorant discovers his entire life is actually a television show.

"Truman", an ordinary man unaware he’s being watched by millions from all over the world. He lives in a large studio with hidden cameras everywhere. All his friends and townspeople are actors playing their roles in the most popular TV-series in the world: “The Truman Show”. When an actress falls in love with him, she breaks onto the set to tell him the truth. But if your world were so perfect, would you want to listen?

I wouldn't know. My life isn't perfect LOL

If you were to take the entire history of earth, and condense it down to 24 hrs...us humans have been here for all of 3 seconds....

And look what the "wise man" is. A slave.

I was introduced to this depiction on my first day of Sociology 101 at Community. This was in 2004. As much time that has passed since is about as many facets of life this applies to I've learned. But what it ultimately lead me to was understanding just how NOTHING MATTERS. As long as Nature's creations( us "homo sapiens") believe they can collectively live outside of Natural Order, chaos ensues and fills every last hope. Mass enslavement can only occur in a "Society of Law & Order" .....Jean-Jacques Rousseau


Perhaps I such have entitled this thread....what the fuck is the point and purpose anymore? Is there a human left that is not enslaved to wastefully and mindfully spending its entire life enslaved to monies? This thing called life squeezed any hope of life out of life long before life had a chance at life. We are all just consequences on the never ending rat race wheel.

How can you be the change you wish to see when there isn't any change left to be had. What it is, is what it is. Its ever, forever so.

^^ word of wisdom.

we are living the new religion that promises a fake happiness & heaven on earth, with science and magic as its Miracles, and lawyers & bankers and others as the preachers.

This was writen about thousands of years ago, why are people surprised?

There are facts and there are myths. They can be differentiated. What was written thousands of years ago has to be ;liberally interpreted and shaped to fit today's world. Religious zealots are part a problem today. There is no God, there is no supernatural, what is written in the bible has no bearing on reality. We'd be better off if religion had been relegated to the dustbin of history where it belongs..

Illuminati. Your personal excuse for failure.

The illuminati is a historical fact. I can give you historical references, but why bother, yall wouldnt read them. I could tell you 1+1=2 but you wouldnt believe that either would you?

Thats extremely interesting.

Based on your obvious knowledge of these things, I've read there is a race of sentient plasma-based beings disguised as reptile aliens then disguised as humans (for double sneekyness)...

Will you enlighten us as to what this is about?

Listen, i actually have a bit of respect for you homie, you seem quite intelligent and you speak your mind, but your not rude about like alot of people on here. Im going to give you my refence, its an audio documentary from the sixties. Its not not some modern conspiracy blather. It gives dates, names, quotes. The historical facts given alighn with other well known historical incidents in history. Just facts. Just give it a peak, at least the first 20 minutes. If after that you still wanna call me crazy, then ill respect it. I just ask that you give me the same respect ive given you.

Now thats crazy i personaly dont believe in aliens actualy.

You're off by several orders of magnitude.

The expression goes that if the history of the Earth were one calender year, humanity would be born on the final second of the final day... and we're still in that second.

Now thats crazy i personaly dont believe in aliens actualy.

Mathematically speaking the chances of humanity being the only sentient species in the universe is below nominal.

I believe in other sentient beings i just disagree about there origins.

Its a Mathematical expression and there are many different ways to express the same math in this case. The math looks something like this :

Humanity has been around for approximately 10,000 years of anything worth note, now, lets put that in proportion to 4.5 billion.

10,000
-------------------
4,500,000,00 and then we have 24 hours. We set up a proportion. 10k over 4.5b, and x over 24. multiply 10k by 24, you get 240,000 divided by 4.5 billion, and the final answer is: .000053 hours.

Now to convert that to minutes,

60
----
1

x
--
.000053

Multiply .000053 by sixty, divided by 1. .00318 minutes is our answer. repeat that for seconds.

All in all, about .1908 seconds.

Literally, not even 1 whole complete second.

So , you are wrong. Not by much, you were actually closer to the .1908 than I was. However, its really anal. Its even more anal to go out of your way to so boldly pronounce my error.

Which is really just another testament to how fucked the fuckery of humans are.

Much of these timelines have been created and expanded upon by the man that developed String Theory. I would imagine that there is a reason we are on RIU and people such as Mr. Kaku are in a University......last time I checked stoners were not leading scholars around the globe with enlightenment Stay Humble

Most good teachers go to the point of showing the math when the student is wrong. You could have at least gave your statement some math to stand up on

Humanity has already lived it's spring & summer, and I believe we are in the final days of "Fall" and soon Winter will settle in.

My only quibble with your math is that I'd use 20,000 years for the history of modern man.

Our season in the sun of enlightenment depends, as ever, on our maturity.

Read "Collapse" by Dr Jared Diamond. Either we learn the lessons of history, or we go the way of the Easter Islanders. Simple as that.

Carl Sagan was proud of his stoner status. I understand that Niel deGrasse Tyson is also known to partake, among many, many others.

We stoners are everywhere! There's no escape! LOL

Read "Collapse" by Dr Jared Diamond. Either we learn the lessons of history, or we go the way of the Easter Islanders. Simple as that.

""He also lists twelve environmental problems facing humankind today. The first eight have historically contributed to the collapse of past societies:

Deforestation and habitat destruction
Soil problems (erosion, salinization, and soil fertility losses)
Water management problems
Overhunting
Overfishing
Effects of introduced species on native species
Overpopulation
Increased per-capita impact of people

Further, he says four new factors may contribute to the weakening and collapse of present and future societies:

Anthropogenic climate change
Buildup of toxins in the environment
Energy shortages
Full human use of the Earth’s photosynthetic capacity."

He does raise interesting points, but he forgot to mention the change of human behavior which conflict's with Nature's order.
