I'm realy amazed that hardly anybody here seems to be interested in what's going on in egypt.

Don't the people here realise the scale of what's going on over there?
Ofcourse you can be cynical and sceptical. But the world is changing dramatically and eventually it WILL translate into things we will feel and experience in our own lives.

To think that your and my life eventually won't be deeply affected by this is realy shortsighted and that is not my opinion, that's a fact.

Just an example of how: limited resources shared with more and more people....look around you and tell me that a deflating economy is not gonna have an impact on YOUR environment.
 
I realize that world events are going to directly effect my life, but because I hate the media so much, I hardly ever know what's going on. I despise "the news" with all it's fear-mongering and vicarious destruction. It makes me focus too much on all the negative things happening in this world, and makes it hard for me to see anything positive that's happening.

Actually, I looked through my local newspaper the other day (it's free), and there was ONE article that was positive. That's it. One. And it was sent in by a reader, it wasn't written by a journalist.

revolution?
If yes, who did win?
If yes, do you think anything changed?
Go to berlin and THEN tell me nothing changes.
Or even better: look at what percentage of your income is spent on basic needs now, and in ten years from now.

Yeah, I have stopped paying attention to alot of these things to be honest. It's not that I dont care or pretend there isnt a larger world out ther..more that it does me and everyone else no good. The world as it is doesnt need more people who simply know whats going on becasue the TV told them so..or more people fear mongering, running around screaming about doomsday and the illuminati or world war 3 etc..

The world needs people that can tell society and the media to fuck off. The world needs more people who say no to our dying cultural presets. The world needs more people who live they're way, in they're world reguardless of where they live. The world needs creative minds with the ability to slowly weave a new story and still smile and make note of the simple things while they do it.

It starts with you. It starts where you are. Screw the media and screw society. Both are like playing the same brocken record over and over again..build a new one.
 
And now Algeria and Yemen.
I think internet is down in Algeria. They will try everyting to keep news from the world. But they will never be able to stop the flow of information. Authorities everywhere have the all the best computer hackers against them.
 
yeah it's intense what all is happening.. like others have already said,, it's so hard to watch the news and media.. actually i've pretty much cut all tv out of my life for a few years now.. i like it that way... but i can't say that i know all that is going wrong.. i tend to just look at what is going right.. when there is much darkness love will still shine and it will shine ever so brightly than before.. .. just like if you have a high beam flashlight completely submerged in the dark, it's brighter than it was in the light, super bright

we definitely don't need to be ignorant of the coming changes... but just like with all of this destruction there is also beauty.. we have to have a fall to rise up.. many people need to be woken up and they will be.. new life,,revolution,, it's on its way.. practically here.. just look at how many people are exploring entheogens now, tons..this is no coincidence
