commentary: selfishness and the yellow brick road

Filed under: commentary — geo geller @ 9:38 pm

food for thought - i think the problem with selfishness is we don’t take it far enough - we aren’t selfish enough - we don’t take it to the end of the examination the exploration - which to me is if we all were truly selfish we would want to live with out fear to be happy healthy wealthy content and live in a creative and humane society and be able to enjoy life to the fullest - i believe we all would want that both individually and collectively - if we think about it how can we enjoy all these things if we are alone and have everything we wanted and everybody else is struggling - that’s only half way down the road of selfishness but to go to the end who would we enjoy our selfishness with if we were alone and paranoid like most leaders of the world - they get to the top and then they have to worry about being toppled and protecting themselves - that is no way to live - but this is as far as our world has taken selfishness too - by the very nature and concept of selfishness as i see it we aren’t selfish enough i personally would want to live in a world where i and everybody had what i/we/they would want for themselves and everybody else too - a content and full world - but we live don’t live in that world we live in a paranoid schizophrenic world where the politics of fear and poverty prevail and where we go along to get along even though we know its wrong - its short sighted selfishness = the status-quo and that is why we need to be collectively selfish if we are going to survive ourselves and the future is going to have a future too - food for thought -

my email response

as a documentary filmmaker working on a doc called Who’s
Wearing the Emperor’s New Clothes - if so many people
believe in something how can it be wrong - i also wonder
about the question of anonymous sources as a weapon of mass
deception and how easy it is to make up propaganda in the
name of anonymous sources -

through out history we have been repeating the same
anonymous sources weapons of mass deception to hide behind -
we have been having the same wars violence and fear since
before forever

we call this a democracy but maybe it’s becoming more and
more of an idiotcracy where the news spews out fear and has
become the views and is seen by many as the co-conspirators
with business and government in their war on truth justice
and the American way or is it a war on we the people - do
you, as the media think we are so naive that we the people
don’t know what is going on, you might think we are zombies
but actually we are pretending we are zombies and we all
know inside ourselves that the media, gov, business
and religion has its own agenda and that the owners of media
use the media for their own agenda

do you/i/we really think that media conglomerates aren’t
intimidated or intimidating propaganda machine - anonymous
sources are so easy to quote - the traditional media is has and
always will be the mistress to the king and queen business
and government - the media and religion are the mistress and
heaven forbid the thought and wash my mind out that the
owners of the media, government, business, religion all
share the power of fear and fear of power in common -
anonymous sources have their own propaganda points of view -
even though we often change the facts to fit our need give
us the information the facts as they occur and let us decide
it, is best case scenario - everybody has a point of view
but the news is not supposed to be the views but just the
facts and nothing but the facts so help us and let us decide
what to think don’t tell us what and how to think -

food for thought - the wake up call for traditional media is
you are losing audiences because of credibility issues and
we are tired of pretending we are zombies
