I would never entangle myself with YouTube. Why work with a platform that hates you? However, if I did videos I’d strive to be as cool as Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen. I wanna’ be like him when I grow up!
Bjorn has an optimistic message. He takes the time to say it in the right way. It’s worth your time.
I concur with his thinking. I very much sense the same thing he does. I see the same desperation. I sense grasping with ideals that work on paper but lack traction in reality. It looks less like we’re under the thumb of icy cool tormentors than a real life demonstration of “what will the dog do if it catches the car?” Those who would subjugate are not controlling events so much as serially bludgeoned by them. They’re buffeted by the instability they made. Punch drunk and unsteady, they can destroy but after that… then what? They cannot build.
I don’t know how long it’ll take, but it feels like a break approaches. They’ve shot themselves in their own head and are only dimly starting to realize what they’ve done.
Take heart. All doesn’t seem forever lost; though perhaps we are all changed. That which cannot go on… won’t. We are self supporting. We can go on. Can they? Really?
I lack the ability to communicate as well as Bjorn. So, watch and enjoy.
I’d add something more. This comes from my Curmudgeonly heart; keep evil influences at bay. It’s not as hard as it sounds. Do it for yourself. Take proper care of mind, body, and soul.
Propaganda works on you even if you know it’s propaganda. So avoid it. You might think “I know this is BS but I just want to catch the weather report”. It doesn’t work that way. Smart people have spent generations honing the art and it has hit peak saturation in the world of social media. You gain nothing by enduring the onslaught.
Elements deep in the monkey brain upon which homo sapiens is built cannot discern between propaganda and reality. Your logical mind might see it clear as day, but the lies are not without effect. Too much will grind down even the most stoic of us. You must take steps to avoid becoming livestock on a vote farm. Don’t be a plaything in someone else’s gameboard. Don’t be an entry in someone else’s spreadsheet. Be you. Keep grounded. Maintain distance from falsehood. Embrace that which is real.
As Bjorn displays with absolute dignified perfection, nature is one way to hold on to reality. I know it sounds weird but it’s key, timeless, and has been so forever. Nature never lies. It cannot. Brew coffee on a campfire, catch a fish, hike, hunt… just be amid reality. It does wonders.
Which, incidentally is what I’m doing right now. It’s also what I’m about to continue doing. I said I’d be “off line” for “a while” and I’m doing it. Bye.
