zeitgeist: moving forward

It SUCKED! Lol.

>:)

I watched the second one (Addendum) two weeks ago. It really touched me deeply, and made me very eager to watch this one. I very much agreed with practically everything that was put forth in Addendum.

Moving forward didn't have the same impact on me. I still agreed with the behavioral experts that were interviewed. I agree with what they say the problem is: The monatary system (aka, "society") generating fear and greed, but the proposed solution is what I have a bit of a problem with - A computer controlled society where I basically don't have to do anything for myself anymore. Perhapse my problem is that I have read too many of those books such as "A Brave New World" or "1984" for example. I actually enjoy growing my own food, but I don't think the proposed solution would allow me the plot of soil to do it. Where does nature fit into that grand scheme of circular cities? Would I still be allowed to go out and foray in the woods for food?

Another problem that I see is that something external would be still controlling us, because of the assumption that we are not responsible enough to make the right decisions for the good of the whole. This to me underscores that what we really need for a utopian society to become a reality is that everyone needs to change at the heart level - we all have to become more loving and caring, but of our own free will. These changes cannot be imposed on anyone. Everyone needs to wake up and see that what we have in the world today isn't working for themselves. Everyone needs to see that we are all connected, and If we hurt someone else we are hurting ourselves, if we truely love someone else we are loving ourselves. I am still struggling with all of this myself, but there are too many people out there right now that don't even want to change, or who are even willing to admit to even just themselves that they are part of the problem.
