Here is a excellent video which uses a very good analogy of software and your mind. Everything this guy says I agree with and I think he does a great job of explaining it. I really like the ending when he talks about capitalism and stuff. I really think people say too many things are just "human nature"
Here is another good video
discuss....
edit: can the videos be embedded?(in other forums it does this automatically) that would work better...
Hey there,
Very cool videos.. "Culture is your operating system" is a very cool concept to think about. By the way, here's how to embed, ClouD explained it well.
I have more to add on this soon. Thanks for sharing!
To embed youtube videos the code is [yt] with its closing end so for example this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYB0VW5x8fI you would put the green part
As for the last video I have to disagree with his views. He seems to focus on one culture, which is probably the consumer culture. This
video shows cultures should be cherished. They give humanity a different way to look at life. And cultures are not something frozen in time, cultures grow and evolve with the peoples ideas, values and ethics.
I made a thread containing the first video, or something similar. Got hammered pretty hard from what I recall. Terence Mckenna is just so articulate with his thoughts its mind blowing. It's like he can describe anything, and he choses the hardest possible things to describe to challenge himself (namely the psychedelic experience)
Very cool videos reminds me of a more educated George Carlin.
I highly recommend the podcast of the 'psychedelic salon'.
So far, there have been close to 200 podcasts, each one with a
talk of something related. Many Terrence McKenna talks, also the
Trialogues between Terrence, Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham.
But there are many more.
