    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If people sucked less?

    WIBCI people were more like Bill Murray?

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Gardeners seem to be pretty cool

    They have a lot of patience to wait and nurture something over time that isn’t going to make them money.

    There are no commercials and no one stealing your identity in a garden.

    I bet they think about a lot of things.

    I bet they don’t come out of the garden more anxious than when they went in.

    I bet they don’t go to bed at night dreading going back to the garden.

    I bet they are happier.

    What do YOU think?

    What do YOU put this kind of focus towards?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we paid more attention to how we came off to people in real life?

    WIBCI: ‘Thank-you-waves’ were more knee-jerk?

    You know, when you are driving and someone let’s you in…..the two second right hand lift over the right shoulder?

    Why not?

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    What’s your favorite song, right now? This will not be held against you and it isn’t a quiz, just pick a song that you dig if you don’t know your ‘favorite’.

    Listen to this song a few times through: prioritized order of best means to do this:

    1. Vinyl Record Album
    2. DVD with inside fold out lyrics etc.
    3. Cassette
    4. Radio, but tricky
    5. On line in some digital way that allows you to start/stop and start over with little to no physical exertion.

    Read the lyrics, look at the pictures and do nothing else.

    Do YOU like the song more or less?

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we were asked what we thought?

    Not in a survey-spam-me-kind-of-way? But in a way where the person asks because they actually care what your answer is, not to get a better score.

    For instance, WIBCI: those little hooks under bars were more prevalent? It wouldn’t make the proprietor any more money, but it would be Better. I think it would be cool if companies just made things better for their customers without charging more for it. Like not packaging our stuff in cancer…that is the first one that just bubbled up.

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Eye Contact…

    Have YOU ever really looked into your own eyes? Try it, you have a mirror near by. Really look into them, could you recognize just your own eyes? Could anyone else?

    Next time you are having a conversation with someone, in person, look into their eyes.

    If eye contact is something you are both out of habit of doing, this could be uncomfortable. Don’t be creepy, and if the other person seems unused to this, just tell them you are making an effort to make more eye contact and see what it does.

    I bet you listen better and they feel heard more.

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If those involved in POLITICS learned from HISTORY?

    WIBCI: money were considered an addictive substance?

    Webster’s definition of addiction: / əˈ / dik / shən: n: a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence

    -illionaires and corporations….will seemingly do anything to get money, they will hurt those they claim to love, they will live, steal, and cheat to get more for themselves. But more isn’t ever enough, they need more than enough, than they need most of it, than they won’t be satisfied until they have all of it. Which they can’t have and wind up dead or in jail. Seem like narcissist junkies to me.

    Maybe if it was recognized/acknowledged, it could be treated.

    Know Thyself through HISTORY(yours):

    What is YOUR first name?

    Do YOU know what your name means? Not the origins linguistically, but what it meant to those that picked it.

    Do YOU know why you were named this?

    If you don’t and you can, ask someone in your family. Then you can ask yourself, if the meaning actually applies to you, whether you knew it before or not.

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Try this:

    Stop judgy commenting on anything, anywhere, and just READ for one day.

    Perhaps if you spent all your energy on reading, you will find that most posts are not the opinions of said individual, but regurgitation of someone else’s propaganda. They didn’t conjure up the words, in that order, just to educate us on their opinion.

    Most people who post don’t know what they think, what they REALLY think. Instead of spending time with themselves, they puke out other people’s words. How these words that did not spring from their mind are received by people they do not know further validates the plagiarized thoughts. If people like or dislike, the person who made the comment may feel they are part of a team and/or look popular. Much less effort than thinking your own thoughts just for your own sake….I guess.

    If you know what you think, you do not have to post it to prove you are smart, or eloquent, or should be ‘included’. Popularity does not reinforce nor detract from your truth.

    If you know what you think, you don’t need to prove it to anyone, nor do you need to convince yourself.

    Unless you are a subject matter expert or someone asked, no one needs to know your judgy comment, especially since you probably don’t even think it anyways…. 

    I’m actually asking, what do YOU think, no one will see your comment, does that change what you would write?… more “Know Thyself Post #9”

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If those involved in POLITICS learned?

    WIBCI: Amazon didn’t use forever plastic in its shipping?

    Wouldn’t it also be cool if they didn’t box up boxes that said ‘OK to Ship’ inside another box?

    And Wouldn’t it be cooler yet, if they didn’t use boxes much too large for the item purchased, so that there is a cavernous void large enough for me to nap in?

    Seems like the 4th richest man in the world could afford to give a shit about the ripples created from his enterprise.

  • WIBCI Post #8

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we learned from HISTORY/PHILOSOPHY/POLITICS AND LITERATURE?

    WIBCI: Companies and -illionaires followed the practice of Should over Could?

    -illionaires COULD not pay taxes because of a tax break, but that doesn’t mean they SHOULD not pay them.

    Taxes from money made off this country needs to be returned to it. It is like blood, it needs to circulate. It does not need to be in off shore trust fund for a worthless 3rd generation.

    Just cause you don’t have to, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. -illionaires could donate funds to their towns, cities, counties and state. Teachers make shit money, start there. Corporations that get tax breaks….for what?! Polluting our communities? Why not give back to those places that have given you so much, not because you have to, but because you should?

    Parting with Money I understand is the vilest of evils, but illionaires could part with what they saved…

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    How many Teams are you on?

    Death of Hypatia defines Teams as follows:

    Teams: / tiːmz / n: A group of equal and mutually respected individuals who, when acting as/or on behalf of said group, consider what is better for the group above that which may be better for them as individuals

    Rules/Caveats/Considerations:

    • You can NOT be on a Team of one
    • You can be on  a Team as a couple, but, both must be equal
    • You can be on a Team when playing sports. You are not on the Team if you act in a way that is better for you but NOT better for the Team
    • You can NOT be on a Team if you own it or profit from it
    • Team members do NOT lie to one another
    • Team members do NOT cheat/profit off one another
    • Team members do NOT ask you to hate

    Do YOU have any teams?… more “Know Thyself Post #8”

    Know Thyself through HISTORY(yours):

    Try this:

    Think about someone in your life that has been selflessly kind to you.

    Not nice to you because they found you attractive.

    Not nice to you because of any perception of your wealth.

    Therefore, this means it probably eliminates anyone you met as an adult.

     

    Try and picture someone (probably from childhood) that always acted in a way they thought best for you, even if it was a detriment to themselves. Can you picture them?

    Next time you are making a decision that bothers you morally, make the decision like this person were watching you.

    Imagine if leaders did that…

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we learned from HISTORY:

    WIBCI: we deposited our shit better? Throughout history, human refuse has been a problem, like for thousands of years. Since this first seemed to be of concern, we have actually sent humans to outer space, split that atom, and created fois gras. And as it seems to me that poop is the item we currently manufacture that is closest to becoming useful to the environment once more. Actually, maybe the only thing besides art.

    So why is a lot of it in diapers and pet poop bags that will never decompose?

    Seems plastic is NOT Better for the Most

    Wouldn’t It Be Cool If those involved in the POLITICS learned?

    WIBCI: Styrofoam was no longer manufactured or utilized, and the political leaders who are meant to protect us gave the illusion they were occasionally on the side of the consumer as opposed to Big Business?

    What do YOU think?

    Seems like Styrofoam sucks

    Better for the Most… more “WIBCI Post #6”
