the time to think recently.. ‘ve been wanting to go visual, to start making videos with my thoughts instead of writing, because I think that it’s faster (it is, plus I have random thoughts everywhere, and most of the time I’m away from any means of taking notes.. but I carry a small video recorder)..
but one thought went to another and now I want to clear some things up.. you already know what I am going to write, I’m just “showing” it to you..
first I visited youtube and went through random videos to see how people share their lives.. but they actually don’t.. they just share some information about their lives that they believe people will find interesting, funny, maybe stimulate some feeling.. but mostly it’s about the entertainment..
entertainment (and profit for the site owners) is the key in all the video sharing sites.. well, at least in those sites where moderators are available, because the content is controlled..
even the stimulation of the masses: think the guy who wrote “love” (or something similar) on his hand and everyone in the (youtube) world, did the same.. well, this dominoes effect was just an intrinsic stimulus of the feeling of togetherness.. but did it really bring people together? no. all it did was show that people know how to love.. they did not use that ability.. plus, youtube enjoyed the word-of-mouth..
I respect metacafe, dailymotion and other sites especially designed for entertainment, but entertainment wasn’t the initial youtube plan (I mean it doesn’t seem it was).. now Google has its fangs in it.. fair? incredibly not..
if there is a serious ideas-sharing site, please share it with me!
because I want to share my ideas with more people, and maybe perfect them.. it’s boring thinking alone..
people want to be entertained.. they need it.. but they don’t understand that it’s just an illusion.. entertainment has 2 uses: source of income for those who can’t do anything else; and a way for the corrupt to manipulate us..
I can’t think upon anything other than the wrong in which we all live.. and for now I can’t do anything to change it.. because the stupid outweighs the smart (to put it mildly)
and I am actually upset with myself for not being able to think about any other things..
sometimes even I can’t stand myself..
