Zeitgeist: Addendum
The second Zeitgeist Movie, Zeitgeist Addendum gives a full theory of what is the main problem with our Western/American way of life and how we can potentially solve it. It doesn’t attempt to solve our problems with charity or efficiency or any such common solution. Instead, they offer a new solution. It is a revolution of thought. I don’t want to say anymore, because the movie is so much better at explaining it.
I intended to write a full article with my thoughts about the movie, but my notes were sitting around for a few days and I decided it is better to get my thoughts into the world in bullet format rather than to leave them sitting around until some magical free time.
Watch the movie here: “Zeitgeist: Addendum”
Then, let me know what you think. And I would love to hear your feedback on the following thoughts after you watch the film.
what about dumb people? don’t they ruin this type
of society? or is dumbness a side effect of our
current society’s poor education and way of life?
why do rich people commit crimes?
what about the robotic laws? this is a little out there but if you have ever read Isaac Asimov, then you have heard of the Three Laws of Robotics. these robotics seem crucial for a solution like this.
this whole concept seems too far off. too theoretical.
is it really worth thinking about or putting energy into it.
the movie is calling for a revolution of thought
and action. this revolution must come from the
heart. Revolution is a scary word. But in this
case they are calling for a peaceful clever
revolution.
our capitalistic society has also brought about technology
christianity has 34000 subgroups:
that is the nature of humanity – that we
are all different and need to be subgrouped
with the people we relate to. why are subgroups
a bad thing?
our brain chemistry makes us each unique and to
say that we are the same and our minds need the
same inputs is ignoring basic human nature.
people’s understanding and comprehension is different.
This movie answered so many questions that I have been thinking about for so long:
1) Marketing seems useless and somewhat evil
2) Hollow financial system
3) Technology should be able to solve all
How are we supposed to let go of the existence
we have been raised in?
The programming computer world has this concept
partially figured out. The internet makes it
possible.
Who will coordinate things? Who will maintain things? how
do decisions get made in this type of society?
