South Park disses Occupy

justin@humanwarnings.com (Justin Zaza) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:56:07 PST

A recent episode of South Park poked fun of the "Occupy" movement, suggesting they are wasting their time, and will not make a difference.

South Park is one of the only intelligent shows on TV. However it lacks an ethical standpoint. It stands for nothing. This is what prevents it from ever being art. By being beneath art, it will not stand the test of time.

To be both highly intelligent yet devoid of meaning is the greatest of all evils

Using "comedy" as an excuse to get away with having no ideals is the same as saying "it's a kids show" to get away with bad writing. Ethics always belongs everywhere.

Comedy is that much more funny when it has that much more of an ethical point because it is then that much more realistic thus able to relate to.

Meditation

We are all terrified of time. It is the route of all our problems.

When we have too much time we're bored. When we have too little time we're stressed.

We will do anything to escape from the present: drink alcohol, smoke, get in fights, worry about the past or the future...

By meditating we confront time head on and we alleviate our fear of it.

When we concentrate on our breath we keep our mind in the present: every time our mind wanders we bring it back. We thus train our mind to live in the past.

When we concentrate on our physical sensations we keep our feelings in the present: every time we get a pain or an itch we don't scratch or move. We thus train our emotions to be present.

This solves ALL of our problems.

A change of perspective

A year ago I had an enormous bad thing in my life (financial debt) and a miniscule good thing (a no budget art film I was making)

I was extremely depressed.

I decided to ignore the enormous bad thing, and just spend a couple hours cultivating the good thing.

After those two hours I was extremely happy.

The bad thing had now become miniscule and the good thing had become enormous.

How to be Cool like me

-Say “Yeah” calmly and smugly whenever there is an uncomfortable silence.

-after a joke say “Thank you everyone, my name is ______ and I'll be here all night."

-At work when someone asks a question you can't answer say “I don’t know, I just work here.”

The exchange rate of people who are not self aware

justin@humanwarnings.com (Justin Zaza) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 13:29:24 PDT

When you are dealing with people who are not self aware the exchange rate is as follows:

-If they give you a penny they interpret it as though they gave you a million dollars.

-If you give them a million dollars they interpret it as though you gave them a penny.

It also works with cruelty:

-If they steal a million dollars from you, they interpret it as though they stole a penny.
-If you steal a penny from them, they interpret it as though you stole a million dollars.

This does not apply only to money. They could kill your whole family and treat it like it was a minor misdeed. You could spill a glass of orange juice on their carpet and they would treat it like it was a tremendous injustice. They could pay you a minor compliment and treat it like they saved your life. You could save their life and they would treat it like it was nothing special.

The solution is to never do “business” with these people.

Idiotic villains

Villains and idiots are great in fiction, but not in real life. Voldemort is powerful and entertaining in fiction, but you wouldn’t want to have him as a friend. The Three Stooges are hilarious and lovable in fiction, but I wouldn’t want them to fix my sink. The danger is when people don’t realize that fiction cannot be reality. The end result is gangster rap: idiotic villains, making millions, and influencing young people to become idiotic villains.

Always treat people like they're animals

Always treat people like they're animals.

With animals, there is no intellect.

Never relate to people with intellect, always with emotion.

It isn't what you say, it's how you say it.

When you are talking to a bad employee, talk to him like he's a bad dog.

When courting a female, talk to her like she is a pink bunny rabbit.

First impressions reveal insecurities

justin@humanwarnings.com (Justin Zaza) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:52:38 PDT

After meeting a new guy at work he immediately- and out of nowhere- mentioned to me that his girlfriend was a model. Later he repeated it. I then told my co-workers about it. My co-workers later came up to me one by one saying “He just told another person that his girlfriend is a model!”

I continued to know him for several years, He was a decent guy and he never mentioned his model girlfriend again.

After meeting another guy, he immediately- and out of nowhere- mentioned that he beats up a lot of people.

I continued to know him for several years, He was also a decent guy and he never mentioned beating up people again.

These two incidents have led me to think that people reveal their insecurities most when you first meet them. S o pay attention when

you first meet someone.

Ass kissers and snobs. Fans and famous people

justin@humanwarnings.com (Justin Zaza) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:48:33 PDT

An ass-kisser and a snob are the same person.

I saw a famous person being interviewed for a small TV show. She was rude to the interviewer: frowning, questioning the questions, unresponsive.

Then I saw her being interviewed for a big TV show. She was kissing up to him: smiling, laughing, answering even the most probing questions, complimenting the interviewer.

Since then I’ve seen people I know do the exact same thing. I’ve also seen myself doing it.

People tend to be cold to their inferiors and warm to their superiors.

It works on people who aren’t aware of it: your boss will like your warmness and your underlings will think your coldness makes you even more important.

But to people who are aware of it it is ugly and easily manipulated: if you are cold to your boss he will stop feeling superior to you. If you are warm to your underlings they will stop feeling inferior to you.

I once saw a crowd of fans surrounding a celebrity. I joined the crowd hoping to get a look at the celebrity. Then I realized "Subjectively, he is only a celebrity because I am joining a crowd to see him. If I don't join the crowd he becomes nothing. If I don't know anything about a celebrity he ceases to be a celebrity and I cease to be a fan."
