Ok so I had this epiphany the other night, and I had this feeling surge through me that I need to do something great, epic. I want to do something that will be massive and change tons of people's lives, I want to create unison and throw away stereotypes, prejudice, racism. I dunno maybe some type of movement, but I need people's help, I need help in thinking what I can do, and maybe you can get involved, I wanna do something greater than help my community. Something vast, and life-changing, My goal is probably to change someone's day or the course of their life. So I need your help.

Hang on to your enthusiasm. You'll need it.

Hmm. Interesting. I think you should have another "epiphany" and this one will tell you that the last time you had one, you greatly overestimated the abilities of human beings.
Sorry, but you'll never end racism, prejudice, any of that horrible stuff. You won't. You can try all you want, but it ain't gonna happen. It sucks, but that's the way it goes sometimes. :(

I'm not asking for a briefing on existentialism, I asking for involvment and help in what I should here.

Yeah I was being a bit too broad, but I want spawn a unifying movement in a way, and I need all help I can get.

I know. There's the cure.

Become a NS mod :eek:

Write a book. Help someone. Make a movie, Write a program. Make a website.

We don't unify, we divide and conquer. :D

Well, tell others about your epiphany and what you felt it meant. And get used to public speaking and rabble rousing. Connect with the common man the hard way - walking, talking, living their lives at their best and worst, but always learning and paying attention. And take more of the worst, it gives you a moral high-ground.

Don't try to speak through any media other than your own words. Talk with others and get them to talk with others. Get ideas about specific manifestations of the injustices you seek to remove and plan specifically for their elimination. But always - walk, talk, speak and teach.

You've got to learn to fire people with that power you recieved from your revelation. Make them feel like they can achieve great things. Give freely of your love and respect. Make no-one feel distant, but bring no-one too close. Mystique is the key.

Study what your fighting. Read it's history, learn the names of other thinkers. It will be academics and intellectuals who will be hired to break your ideology. Learn to speak like them, to fight on their terms - but never forget that you must not become one of them. You must remain the common everyman, hated by none, beloved by nobody. In addition, if they consider you beneath them your foes are already unguarded - in every battle, surprise is a vast advantage.

But most essential is Will. Will, directed with thought, but thought powered by will. Do not accept the possibility of failure. Do not admit the possibility of being wrong. Only total certainty, total faith in your ideal will be sufficient to achieve anything. When all else falters, never let it falter. Die knowing you were right.

Write a book. Help someone. Make a movie, Write a program. Make a website.

i've been writing a script, but i wanna do something more than a script i wanna do some type of movement, and I want participation.

BTW, the last thing you want to do is start another movement. The world has too many as it is, and if you succeed, people will be killing their neighbours in your name centuries hence.

think we can start brainstorming maybe on what to do?

I always find that free beer is encouraging.

We don't unify, we divide and conquer. :D
Like cheese? You know.. Big wheels of cheese. You must sclice thy cheese, then devour it. Facist!

Well I'm off to bed.

I'd sleep on it, I think you will find the moment will pass. ;)

Hmm...

Perhaps... join politics? Become mayor?

Work for a nonprofit that helps children and families.

I'm a leader, not a follower. So you're on your own.

Become involved in your local community, volunteer at the soup kitchen, help out with kids in low income areas if you can, try to start a blood drive, clean up your neighborhood from trash, and run for mayor.

Good luck:)

Start a global insurrection to overthrow the decadent nations of the world, dissolving nationalist tendencies with relocation programs. Long live the revolution!

Find a way to tap vacuum energy.

That would go a long way towards solving the world's problems.

Negative energy. Pay attention!

Then write a book, make a movie, paint some paintings, record an album, or something like that. Artistic and phillosophical movements are the creation of the artists or phillosophers who expressed them, not of some magical "I've created a movement" spell.

You have to eradicate humanity to accomplish this. I don't mind helping.

That's what I was proposing in a 'round-about way. Count me in, too.

You might achieve something great. But great things are done a little at a time. Everyone who has achieved great ends, built on the lives of anonymous men and women. Golda Meir, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa - none of them achieved their goals alone. Your achievement may be nothing more than providing part of the basis for someone else's great work. Would that be enough for you? Would you be satisfied if someone else became great based on your effort?

Negative energy. Pay attention!

What? I'm talking about the zero-point energy of vacuum. The casmir effect and all that good stuff. Did they rename it or something?

In any case, he should find a way to extract it cheaply. That would be some good stuff.

Humanity to you: :upyours: :upyours: :upyours:
*sneaks up behind humanity and thrusts dagger, severing the spinal column and the brain. damn! forgot humanity doesn't use that organ!*

I assume them to be the same thing: the actual fluctuation of energy from other dimensions at the assumed point zero Kelvin. Negative energy sounds more absurd; that's why I like it more: zero isn't really zero at all.:cool:

AWESOME! 10 points!
Yeah, that'll teach humanity to ignore my not-so-thinly veiled threats!

We're overdue for an extinction anyway.

Nope. We've been doing that since you were born. You just didn't notice 'cause you've always been too self-absorbed! :p

isnt it kind of prejudice to say that racism and prejudice is horrible?

guess i kind of proved your point

Nope. We've been doing that since you were born. You just didn't notice 'cause you've always been too self-absorbed! :p

Pegged me haven't ya :).

No, no I've ascribed to the theory of "Humanity is evil" too so I might as well get in line ya know :).

We're overdue for an extinction anyway.
i.e. world war

If you really want a 'cause' you should fight against slavery.

i.e. world war

No, no, no bigger! Humanity needs a giant enema to sort itself out. Perhaps maybe something like a meteor strike, that ought to put things into perspective but, then again, all the religious nuts will think it's some act of God and the process will just continue. Wow, there's no hope.

:p That make me chuckle.

It's a good one. I'm proud of it.

i guess it wasnt taken as seriously as i thought it would be.

I take you seriously. No idea what you should do though...it all depends on what you feel strongly about...go out into the world and find something wrong with it( VERY EASY) and think on how to fix it. Remember, don't expect the change the world, but don't think you can't either.

Start a movement of people that gets them to a)Abandon the irrational and irresponsible aspects of the more conservative parts of their upbringing;
b)Embrace a nature of philosophic pursuit of quantifiable truth;
c)Point out to them that *everyone* deals with loneliness, and in that sense, they aren't alone;
d)Recognize that not having a broad sense or perspective of faculty doesn't preclude them from achieving something significant;
and
e)Think about how their bouts with acceptance and virtue aren't issues that are resolved upon their deaths, but truths through which to be lived.

Other than that, try inventing the flux capacitor.

Hang on to your enthusiasm. You'll need it.
Ooh, teh appropriate first response/second post.

I think you have given me the best advice.

Like I said. World war. That always does the trick for about ten days. But that's more effective than anything else. Besides, you know that a modern world war may well ensure that the next is fought with stones.

Yeah I'm not too fond of NYC being reduced to rubble though. The rest of the world, sure but not NYC.

That's exactly why I think he should start the world war: a pre-emptive strike. Besides, it's a noble sacrifice I'm willing to make.;)

So you're going to invent the legendary flux capacitor?

I think you have given me the best advice.
Thank you. *bows*
This is one of the few instances where i saved my joking until the last line of script.
I hope the advice works for you. I'm honoured for you to be considering my perspective.
