“When Dennis, an introvert bodybuilder, invites a local girl out on a date his mother is hurt and disappointed. Despite the pressure she puts on him to cancel the date, Dennis ventures into a night that he will never forget.”
Any man who suffers from emotional dependency should watch this and learn:
Stefan Molyneux returns with more wise and practical advice for raising conscious, intelligent and peaceful children – he especially encourages us to speak truth always which provides the child the basis to learn and grow with freedom, as opposed to bullying them into believing untruths which will only produce the opposite but negative effect. “Hear, hear!”
As Manly P. Hall once wisely said,
“The child is not damaged by facts. The child is damaged by delusions.”
Now watch the following video ‘The Philosophy of Childhood’:
Hicks: The smoking "Truth-Seeker" of comedy
I now like to turn your attention to the late Bill Hicks, who was in the same mould as George Carlin, featured in the post ‘The Wise and True Prophets of Comedy (Part 1): George Carlin’.
In fact, the young Bill Hicks was very much inspired/influenced by the older George’s style and subject matter.
Fortunately for us lost deceived souls, Hicks decided to produce and to display his own brand of social commentating and irreverent comedy.
Carlin: The "Socrates" of comedy
Wisdom and Truth can be garnered from the most unlikely of places – none more so than the spectacle of stand-up comedy. So I’d like to introduce you all to two such past comedic greats who can be considered true prophets of their craft.
The comedians in question were George Carlin and Bill Hicks, who both penetrated our conscience, and raised our consciousness with their pinpoint insights and observations into all the pretentious bullshit and hypocrisy that society propagated and continues to propagate – not to mention, provoking uncontrollable laughter at the same time.
Both Carlin’s and Hicks’ social and political views were considered controversial at the time – but controversy does not mean that they were wrong.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Amazingly, somebody tells the truth for once!
For all you movie buffs out there, let me start this post with a relevant quote from ‘The Matrix’, which will hopefully give you some sense of where this particular post is coming from:
“What is “real”? How do you define “real”?”
“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill — the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill — you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”
“I’m trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”
“Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? ”
“The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”
“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
“Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.”
“If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.”
“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.”
“There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”
It maybe a movie but there is a pertinent message for humanity behind it’s plot.
Are kids taught lies just for them to fit into the system?
In writing this post, the Pink Floyd song “Another Brick in the Wall” comes to mind when listening to the lyrics and analysing the meaning behind them in regards what we are taught in school.
Let’s now take a look at some of these lyrics shall we?
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.“Wrong, Do it again!”
“If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”
“You! Yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still laddy!”~ “Another Brick in the Wall” from the 1979 album “The Wall”
The lyrics above should encourage us all to ask the following questions:
