“Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

-Dalai Lama

We think having Google at our disposal has changed how we think about knowledge retention, but imagine when that knowledge is literally integrated into your being.

In 2112, creativity will be the most valued form of work because creativity is about going against what everyone (including yourself) believes in. By 2112, our minds will be directly connected to computers. We think having Google at our disposal has changed how we think about knowledge retention, but imagine when that knowledge is literally integrated into your being. We will all know all that we need to know, together, by being interconnected with all the information of the world. The answers won’t be at our fingertips, they will be within us. And so goes any room for debate.

What will be at a premium in this new world? What will enable us to retain our unique stamp of humanity? Our unique ability to create ideas and concepts that go against the all-powerful norm of the factual. The ways of thinking and working that artists and designers embody so naturally will be in higher demand. They are the ones who are used to flying in the face of reality, of suspending disbelief to come up with what is next. These skills will be universally recognized as how we advance society’s future, rather than a nice “add-on” as they are perceived of today. Creativity will be the new currency of work, the world over.

Sad because women are their own worst enemies; who too often fester in their own jealousy and scrutinise each other to feed their tarnished egos.

Sad because their self-confidence is so fragile that they become unconscious, subjugated slaves to the media. Some women are so preoccupied with how they appear to others and what others might think of them, that they become prisoners of the ideal aesthetic. This incarceration limits their potential to be the person who they truly aspire to be.

Inspirational because I have the knowledge to discriminate right from wrong, and because I am now more motivated than ever to inspire and influence my daughter and son, who are still young enough to have dreams and hopes that have not yet been influenced by gender inequality or the poison of the media.

My husband attended the screening with me (voluntarily) and said to me as we were heading home. Women could rule the world they have the power over men but don’t use it. “What power I said?” Sex. Men want it and have always chased women for it. Women have the upper hand but instead many demean themselves with it, instead of using it to their advantage. Women have something that men want. Its a primal need as well as a means of procreation. The greatest power of all is to create life.

So blatantly obvious, yet I’d never thought of it like that

I wish that this documentary was mandatory viewing for every 11+ year old. Not just girls that are about to step into puberty, but also boys. So that they too can be enlightened by the evils of the media.
