The Wisdom Of Bill Hicks #4: Right Now

I believe Whaleshares is helping to stem this tide!


We are in a unique position with new forms of "social media" coming online regularly, to take the opportunity to tune them to a higher purpose. The collective will of those involved can help reduce the negative impacts of greed and ego on the individual platforms, and thereby hopefully leading to changes in society. This is partly what @fuzzy's dream has been for the platform, to minimize those negatives as much as possible.

"This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart.”


It seems the "human condition" is the EGO. The EGO is the origin of greed, pride, jealousy, and many other detrimental emotions. Most spiritual "leaders" or "gurus" have spoken at great lengths about the EGO and learning to tame it and control it in order to live a better life. We see the effects of the EGO at all times online in the form of trolls and in real life in the form of politics and greed.

The hope for the platform is that it can remain aside of the problems plaguing other platforms. One of the great things about being a successor to an earlier platform is that we can POSSIBLY learn from the mistakes they have made, if we are in anyway thinking of the future. Imagine if we as humans were able to focus on unity and intelligence of the heart rather than division and EGO-driven cleverness of the mind? We might have a world with a SHIT TON less suffering!
