I had an epiphany similar to this a few years ago while traveling in Italy. While? walking the streets in Florence, I kept seeing banners that said, "Pace" (pronounced pah-che) meaning peace, in English. Reflecting on its meaning, I thought of the same word in the context of the English language. In English, "pace" refers to rhythm or some function of time. I then realized that an understanding of rhythm or "pace" is essential to an understanding of peace, and how to attain it in the world.

Schools teach children to OBEY authority, this removes responsibility from the child and denies them the opportunity to ever understand critical thinking and freedom, replacing it with unquestioning loyalty to their slave owners. Religion and governments, they both teach humanity how to be slaves. People behave differently when authority figures are present, this leads to unconscious slavery leaving humanity? with a mere illusion of freedom.

At the end of this video he is talking about understanding how we spend our time. Time is very important for ourselves. Is spending time with others also important? How does spending time with other enrich ourselves and others? Does spending time together work out problems? Does spending time together save lives? How does spending time alone reguvenate ourselves? Are online worlds? and games good places to spend time? Questions to ponder.

If you are a truth seeker,? search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. What this book says will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people. You will see what I mean when you read the first 3 pages.

Ahhh, I see! I definitely agree with you here; however,? would you agree that it takes a bit of both (present action,? future goalmaking; and while we're at it, understanding from past experience) to be a successful innovator? I wouldn't assign the label of innovator to be exclusive to either. I think a present-oriented person who learns to act for the future can be just as successful of an innovator as a future-oriented person who capitalizes on the present.

(Just noticed I posted two versions of the same reply. >.< ) There's a difference, in my mind, between the (future-oriented) planner and the (present-oriented) innovator: The first sees where the trend lines are pointing, plans accordingly, and carries out that plan; they're all about delayed gratification. The second sees the condition currently on the ground, and by responding cleverly? to them, creates what then becomes the future; they have made their work and their play one.

Hm, I'll have to think about that more. I would think that many of the Big Names in science--and I thought the? video alluded to that--are more future-oriented. In no way would those who are future-oriented ride on the coattails? of those living in the present. Those who see into the future are innovators who create things never seen before--they just, as you mentioned, need a bit of that present-time recklessness and love for the moment.

Good point. The mistakes I were referring to were the particularly hedonistic ones that afflict our society, and it's true that there needs to be a balance of all views of time in order to be successful innovators, life lovers, and history appreciators. I guess the tough thing? for most people to break their bad present-time habits is the fact that it's so dang fun and easy to be reckless.
By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 00:56:01
Why thank you. ^^ Btw, I'm not saying the future-oriented are riding our coattails; far from it! It takes /tons/ of planning to convert flashes of brilliance into a better life. But it goes both ways: it's true, if cliché, that innovation and entrepeneuership are the greatest engines of progress. But these are risky endeavors: mostly, they fail specracularly. So it takes a certain, disciplined kind of recklessness to make those advances /that you bet on when you put money in the bank or stocks./?
By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 00:40:31
Why thank you, though I think one could say more for "people like me" than that. Take the Big Names in science and the arts, for instance: Opened up whole new fields, changed the way we live, usually for the better. I don't? think they did that as a means to some future goal. Hell, most of them /couldn't even imagine/ where their work would lead. No, they /couldn't help/ making those leaps and bounds, it was their nature. And crucially, /they were allowed to chase their dreams/.
By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 00:24:27
Ah, but I don't know if what you can forsee is actually there. Many "forsee" wrongly. That leaves me with what /I/ can forsee, with confidence...and that's not very much. The things important to me?my friends, figuring out myself, the advance of science,? free/open source software, getting a job so I can have real free time?they're not really predictable. So why would I attempt to live in the future when I know nothing about what matters most to me there? I'll live it when it becomes the present.
By: sleepyballoons. on 19 May 12, 22:21:22
Although, to be fair, life would? be less fun without people like you.
By: sleepyballoons. on 19 May 12, 22:14:38
That's a really interesting and self-aware assessment. As someone who is super future-oriented, your comment is a good reminder on how to communicate to someone who is very different from me. I appreciate it. Although, to be honest, I rather you learn to be more future-oriented so that I don't have the burden of telling you? not to make the mistakes I can foresee.
By: sleepyballoons. on 19 May 12, 21:49:26
The goal should be to train kids to be more future-oriented; not break the educational system to cater to the hedonist, present-oriented? kids. Make the classroom more analog-based, only to act as a transition? to purposefully educate students to be more future-oriented.
By: 23456Mr1. on 18 May 12, 21:55:03
Even kids hammered from birth in future-oriented behaviour become present-hedonists if said behaviour leads to nothing. Behaviours get more valued if they make rewards. Hence why education nowadays is shit: you don't get a big payoff from a straight A (only illusory ones), parents already pay you with everything simply for existing in the present, the Internet provides up-to-date info? (back then schools were primary info source), and how our ADD makes us see "years" as "eternity" thus despair.

Reminds me of Japan's high standards along with their problems that come with it, such as "hikikomori" (recluses, who are usually associated with unemployment and computer-addicted basement dwellers) and "karoshi" (death by overwork, which is just like how you said cities with a high pace of life have the nighest? coronary problems)
