I would like to start off this presentation by addressing a
few things. 1- I'm not here to convince anyone how to do anything this is just my opinion. 2- If at any point you feel I made a mistake or offended anyone in any way, please tell me about it after the presentation so I can prevent such things from happening in the future. 3- Please keep an open mind, don’t argue in the moment, take notes if you’d like, and just think about what I just said, don’t be hasty, process it. Anyways, onto the main presentation. Let’s start off with this image of a “happy” family, now other than the fact that they all look completely lifeless, I want to express some of my ideas by using this as my first template. Let’s talk about the act of watching TV, most people participate in or consume some form of entertainment multiple times a day, “there is nothing wrong with this” I hear you say, well there is a lot wrong with it, it just depends on how you see the world, the problem with these acts of pleasure is that they are a flaw of the modern human lifestyle, we are not a species built for efficiency. We are not built for most of the things we partake in throughout our daily lives, we are animals, the only thing that differentiates us from other species on the evolutionary pyramid is that we’re smarter, let’s take sitting as an example, we usually have to sit down to do any tasks that are of significance and require large portions of time and heavy focus, now how does our body reward us for our productivity, by almost completely giving up on maintaining its ideal blood flow and distribution, and giving you clots,(but this is obviously a huge exaggeration and an ill-informed description so don’t take it as a precise fact). We are not built for this, but we do it anyway because we have to, but there are a lot of things we don’t have to do, like entertainment. Entertainment, the act of being idle and spending continuous or distributed quantities of time, consuming relatively useless content, or partaking in activities that are of no true value, it is a complete punch in the face to our evolutionary progress. now I know that sometimes you just feel tired and just want to wind down and watch something, is a complete punch in the face to our evolutionary progress. now I know that sometimes you just feel tired and just want to wind down and watch something, but if you spent your wind down time thinking about how you could plan your objectives so that you don’t feel burnt out, or by taking advantage of that time to develop better habits or learn a new skill or maybe just sit down and think, when was the last time we did we did that? Now onto our second point and picture. I’m going to use the medical field as my example, because it is the most infamous when it comes to this topic. This is a doctor, he has wasted his entire life trying to become what he is today, now we tend to think of doctors as one of the pinnacles of our society, and that’s partly true, they help you when you get a boo boo, and that’s essential, but investing your life in a medical career isn’t really known for its honor or sacrifice nowadays, most people go into the medical field for three reasons. 1- Because it has become a go-to, this is a consequence of the next 2 points. 2- The money: don’t think about what good you could do to humanity; you just want to retire at 60 and drive fancy cars with women thrice as young as you. 3- Parents; a consequence of the last point, this results in two driving forces, the first being; THE PRESTIGE, some parents do want what's good for you, but they also want to use you to flex on relatives, and feel like they can have a higher standpoint as a result of your position. And less often but still an occurrence; it's because they want to benefit from all the cash you make. Now on to my actual main point about this image. We have WAY too many people applying to medical fields, now that’s not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing, for a few reasons. The first; is a consequence of the previously stated points, the people applying to these fields are not doing it with a true passion, so it’s quantity over quality. The second point is that the saturation of medical personnel has resulted in an imbalance of flow to the actual useful fields that these people could have gone into.
And the final reason is an Ouroboros of accidental
misinformation; the inflow of people into these fields creates an illustrious vacuum which is a result of the prestige that these fields have, which drives people who may be excluded from the initial points I made but still think they're actually going to do something useful with their pursuit. Next, I want to talk about what we call “Humanity”. Take a look at this vile creature. Oh, you think it's cute, What if I told you that you were basically programmed to think that. That’s right, we only evolved the ability to think something is cute as a safeguard incase a mother or father went ape-mode or didn’t feel like they needed to take proper care of this little ball of mush. What we feel is simply a chemical reaction, nothing more, our “Humanity” is just a construct we have programmed ourselves to believe, the ideal human is not driven by emotion, but instead by objectivity, a task, a big picture understanding of our true potential, but, in my almost 17 years on this giant rock, I have never met a single person who has even come within seeing distance of this idea. We as a species have almost completely ignored our potential, instead we focus on our individual self, and entertainment. Just ask yourself for one moment, are my emotions actually important, well whatever YOUR conclusion is, doesn’t really matter, because the answer, as far as we know, is a big NO. In this slide, we see what most would call suffering, (I would've used a more graphic image but I felt that would be inappropriate). Let's take another second to think about what suffering truly is, oh wow, what a surprise, it just ties back to my previous point about these things simply being a construct, an illusion, such is reality. It’s easier for us to say “suffering doesn’t really matter”, When we aren’t or haven't truly experienced it, but being bored is what most people would perceive as a form of suffering, but boredom isn't a bad thing, it is a result of a bad thing, constant distraction, whether it be work or entertainment, we have become almost incapable of just sitting down and taking 10 minutes to just think things through, instead we sit down, look at the floor for 30 seconds, and then go on SOCIAL MEDIA. This brings me nicely into my next point. Ah yes, social media, the 21st century's second-biggest mistake, right after me, has connected people from all across the world, in ways they never knew they didn’t want. Generally, I regard social media as a cesspool of human degeneracy and impotence, we are not a species made for critical thinking, and that has been made extremely apparent by social media. I'll use Instagram as this point’s punching bag; I will express this from the perspective of a teenage girl, as they are the core demographic. “Ok, time to check the ol’ insta page, wait...wait what, the post of me with all my friends at a place no one has heard of doing a pose no one can name didn’t blow up, ok... Ok it’s fine, I’ll just slash my wrists sideways for attention, that’ll get em”. This app is a disorder that almost everyone has, if you use it to see what other people look like and how you stack up, you’ll get your confidence bashed into a pulp and then thrown in the sun. Don’t use social media if you want to a real person. My final point, is a statement, I hope we will revere. We, have come a long way, we’ve seen what makes the atom tick, and the stars shine, we have gone across the universe and back, only to find, that we are alone, this universe is cruel, it tends towards chaos, we, unfortunately have fallen victim to this, we humans are resilient, but that doesn’t mean that we should slow down, it doesn’t matter if you're a farmer, or an astronaut, there is always a way to make a difference, we won’t give up, but we will give in, the cosmos might swallow us, or the earth, if we just take a few steps back, and look at the big picture, all the war, the poverty, the greed, it has captured us and we didn’t even realize it, but I will leave you with a comforting fact, we, all of us in this room, will most likely be dead before we see a world that isn’t cruel. Now I have one more thing to say, I still have a lot more ideas that didn’t make it into this presentation, if u want to know more, just ask me later.
