How do you sum up this video? Spot on. We evolved leaps and bounds as a society. This is what we need to start focusing on for our society's greater good.
-
How do you sum up this entire video in one sentence?
-
loved the short video at the end
-
Agreed
-
Google I will teach you to be rich. This could help you
-
I could not agree with you more, have everything you want and be happy.
-
Law of Attraction sonny, that'll fix ya up ;)
-
He actually says "actually" a lot.
-
That was absolutely brilliant!
... not so sure about the 17 minutes of waffle before the 'Good Vibrations' main feature though...
(Just kiddin'!).
-
We were honored to have Chip stop by our lifebyme.com and share what's most meaningful to him. Bravo, Chip!
-
If you liked this talk, have a listen to some of Jacque Fresco's philosophies.
It's along these lines.
-
@gbiota1 What I am talking about is a more individual philosophy. A personal creed of sorts. I am not to impose my understanding of happiness on others.
Also, about my responsibility in a democratic society, I think it would be fair to say that my concern with the opinions of others is a natural result of Democracy but not directly a part of it. Democracy is meant to reflect the view of the majority, not the view of a more convincing minority.
-
@Rimsh7 you argue because in a democracy, a wrong opinion can count as much as a correct one. you are obligated by a democratic form of government to concern yourself with the opinions of the masses, because you have to live by those opinions whether they are wrong or not.
-
I think you are missing the point. He is talking about the metrics. If governments take into account the proposed "GNH" they might better provide the *conditions* that cause an improvement.
Actually, i don't know why I bother arguing as long as it makes sense to me and encourages me to live better then why would it matter if I am wrong?
A bit of self-delusion goes a long way.

@numbersabcdefg
r u sure ur applying for the right kind of job?
-
@noobler9
well... ur right on the self pity thing... but u gotta admit it gets pretty disappointing after getting no call backs or constantly getting rejected w/o any explanation...
-
@noobler9 but he's still stuck with one hammer, which also makes everything look like a nail to him - the idea of businessprofits. cause actually that counters the idea of gnh.
-
It would have been helpful to give a few examples of how Bhutan measures it's gnh.
Good idea here, but I think we are going to have a tough time here in the US. It has started, but the old mode will not die easily.
-
A great speech. The idea he describes is the doorway to a more humane world.
-
hey numbers abcdefg, don't listen to those "change your attitude" positive thinking people. I say, move to a different (better?) country where you'll be appreciated, and you won't be expected to sell yourself and be all sunshiney and "go me!".
Scrape the money together and get the hell out of Dodge.
