The idiots on planet Earth, busy with their dramas, hate, divisions, borders, competition. While they have global problems and common needs.
Their most popular news and activities should be about the wonderful rock they are lucky to be on. The creatures, the places, themselves. There are entire universes inside all of us. Inside even a single cell. There are endless stars and planets out there.
Intelligent species you say!?
Show must go on! The Caesar Roman general was nearly assassinated so now we can gossip, talk, debate, and be busy with this story for months or years. Some empire attacked another killing hundreds of thousands. Have you heard about the wife of the emperor cheating on him?
2024 is the same as 2024 BC. Same shit. Wars, conflicts, gossip, decimation of other creatures and destruction of the environment.
Same idiots, only that now we have internet, electricity and airplanes.

Underlying rights beneath ideas like freedom equality under the law rule of law we find community You Me and all our masks and stories. Wise elders of yore devised ritual stomping into Earth, in communion with planet, land of ancestors, sacred lore. I see your face, study the lines and lessons life has given. Do you see the scarlet streams of suffering so unnecessary missed cues, fear itself, unexpected consequences, collateral damage? If life were simple childish agonies dispelled with dawn’s bright kiss, we would laugh so happy to know cross-purposes, cross-talk easily sorted out in counsel. Cast into sorted cells with little thought to empowering; we could harness the Sun, Moon, birth of the planets, simply allowing our minds to grow.
Here's how "migrants" help save lives and enrich our scientific knowledge of the world - The Cancer Detectives videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
The people who are "nationalists" seem to have no idea that the healthcare they rely upon in their own tribe, the products, the knowledge, architecture, and everything else, comes from many parts of the world. Nationalism = Primitivism.
The story of how the life-saving cervical cancer test became an ordinary part of women’s lives is as unusual and remarkable as the coalition of people who ultimately made it possible.
I would like to recommend this crazy book we made for TROM in 2016 about Language tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-l… - looking through it I am mind blown how much detail we put into it. And how important this book is.
I don't know if I can outdo my past self in terms of sheer amount of work put into these books...I am scared to look at them and realize how much effort was put into writing, sourcing, proofreading, and designing.
It took us around half a year or more to finish this book. Maybe a year I don't remember...
I have other 3 books in the works for the past 2 or so years and am wondering if I am still able to pull this off....
I wanted to start a video series, and perhaps I still want to do that. But writing books feels more natural to me and the end result is m

I wanted to start a video series, and perhaps I still want to do that. But writing books feels more natural to me and the end result is much more important in my view. Like this book about Language is for me lifechanging in regards to this subject, I changed the way I see "language" forever while writing it. And hopefully would have the same impact on those reading it. But if I were to make a video about it....that would be a massive course, not a video. And would require a lot of "performing" and video editing. Presenting, recording, video editing...insanity.
So yah am wondering how to "move forward"....write books? Try making videos?
Currently I am writing about culture. A book/video titled "Culture Cancer". Let's see where it goes....
I did not forget that I have started a book about The Internet and one about Human Behavior.
I feel good going deep into these topics....keeps me sane and more educated. And I like it.
What I don't like, of course, is the fact that I don't find a place for me in this society and I can't really afford to spend many many months, make a great book, then put it for free, and expect to also survive in this bullshit society. That I am struggling with. I've always had. Says all I have to know about how fucked up this society is.
But anyway, I have survived while TROMing for the past 14 or so years, I will probably survive a few more years :).
You should survive man. I like your books. I think I've red almost all of them. Videos might be very cool too, but the amount of work and effort is much more. It's like anyway to create a book first (to make a script) and then film and edit it and put some nice b-roll and extra shot. Massive amount. Sometime me and Mara speaking about how you regardless to anything keep going. Seems always you find a motivation somewhere. I know you told me this many times that you just immerse yourself in work and that's helps you regardless the outcome and results. But still man, you are badass just keeping yourself motivated going trough this fucked up society.
I am loosing it so often, because quite often everything you are doing seems so pointless, and no one really care. And each time it's harder and harder to get up and keep going, because what we do is important. It is important nevertheless what society and our culture find valuable or not.
Recently I noticed you are more frustrated, I hope you will get trough this period. Just keep going man.
I'd say the two are a lot of work but in different ways. Designing a book, proofreading, sourcing, and making huge books overall, takes so much time as you know. But yah, will see probably that's why I am very frustrated and depressed this period of time since I am not busy with the things I love doing. However I started to write again and that makes me feel a lot better.
Thanks for the support and for continuing with your stuff. Like I told you before I thought you'd give up in less than a year. You exceeded all of my expectations and thats great :). It is damn hard to get 0 support from the society for the things that you do, plus the almost impossibility to reach people nowadays.
I am sure that after this bullshit season is over, in about 3 months, things will be a lot better for me/us. You know how crazy this little town is in the summer....but it is the last summer here for us, so at least that makes it easier to deal with it.
It is shocking for me to see, in 2024, that many people are so "nationalists". Our language! Our land! Our stuff! Our people!
It is terrible. We now know that we are one species living on one planet. We have common issues and are connected with each-other and with the environment around in the most scientific way possible. This is what should matter.
You language was stolen from other language and it is in a constant mutation and dynamic changes. Your traditions and food are borrowed and mixed from other cultures and lands. Your territory most likely stolen from others through force, and the stuff you consume is not made in your tribe. Music, movies, and so on, are also remixes from different parts of the world. Your healthcare system relies on the work of people who are/were not from your tribe, and overall the development of science which allows us to build buildings, make food and stuff, and overall understand the world around us is built on the shoulders of humans that came from different tribes.
So fuck off with your nationalism bullshit!

Reminds me of Sasha's Prison Earth video. I wonder if there'd still be any nationalism left if people were allowed to freely move from one place to another without restrictions. Humans make up these imaginary ideas like borders and then use force to make everyone accept them.
This is @Sasha and her most valuable project to date:
A book. But a book is not simply a lot of words or a pile of paper. It is memories, emotions, worldviews, and a lot of work to put them all together. Her book is a story that spans over 15 years. But these years are hardly what most people experience on this planet.
She was born in Russia but at age 8 had to move to the United States and deal with a new world. New language, new culture, new people; her mom, her bother, and some pets. Her father went back to Russia, and that affected her a lot.
A mountain of changes to absorb as a kid which led her to a world of drugs and anger.

A mountain of changes to absorb as a kid which led her to a world of drugs and anger.
She details these struggles which at times feel like hard to believe stories - a 17 year old girl selling drugs in New York, crazy mushroom trips and adventurous thefts.
But she managed to pull herself together and change her life for the better. She was not impressed by the imaginary borders humans create and call countries, so she went on flying like a free bird :). From Canada to Mexico, Australia to Europe, Russia to Thailand. 15 years of adventures with almost no money. Because money won't stop Small Sasha :).
A way to discover the world and yourself.
When you get to experience so many cultures and places, you can understand much better what humans are, and what makes them who they are.
The places she saw and the people she met are extraordinarily described in the book, in a way that you feel like you are there. No photos needed. You'll laugh, wonder, or feel uncomfortable reading some of her uncensored experiences.
It is a galaxy of stories that she had to put together using notes from the past, photos, and her own memories stored in the mushy pile of cells we call the brain.
She managed to compile this massive story in a way that it is super fun to follow, but also to get a feeling of how she grew a mind in all of these years.
That mental growth and her experiences, made her realize how fucked up this society is and how much we are destroying this environment and the creatures in it.
She started to volunteer for some organizations over the years, eventually getting closer to the project I made, TROM. And so here we are, a book later, spending our lives together.
I cannot describe how wonderful this book is, how emotional and funny. So much fun, but also a lot of reality check for many people who are going to have their values challenged.
She crafted this book so much, that at times you feel like Carl Sagan, David Attenborough and George Carlin contributed to the book :).
A wonderful read! A massive CONGRATULATIONS to Sasha for the immense work she put into this. I know too well how for the past 4 years she worked so much on this book that it almost put our relationship under a big question mark. I never saw anyone putting so much effort into anything. It was too intense!
But now it is OVER. Finally! I thought I will never see this happen. Wow!
After so many years of work, and almost no money, she is putting the book for free on her website bigworldsmallsasha.com/ in digital format, despite us not having much money to make a life for ourselves on this planet. But of course, if you want to support her (us) you can buy the physical copy too. Or donate if you can.
I helped design the entire cover and I am quite proud of it :).
Go read it! I know I will read it again. This time the physical copy, in a hammock somewhere in nature.
Sasha you fucking did ti!
PS: The book was made with trade-free software. LibreOffice, Krita, Inkscape.
Wow thank you @Tio This is too nice, I don't even know what to say :) Thank you again for putting up with everything. It was a lot, I know. And thank you for helping me so much, I couldn't have done it without you ❤️
I think the difference between a cult and a religion is the number of followers. If Islam or Christianity were to have a few thousand members (a little minority) we would 100% consider them cults. And terrible/crazy/primitive ones for that matter.
In Rome: "Rejection of the state religion was tantamount to treason. This was the context for Rome's conflict with Christianity, which Romans variously regarded as a form of atheism and novel superstitio"
So wait the Roman Empire adopted Christianity but the people living in Rome thought of Christianity as atheism and superstition? I don't get it :D - I have to read the sources :P
This documentary is crazy. To think that this is happening in 2024 is insane. People treated like slaves in concentration camps, brainwashed to extremes.

A lot of the things happening around us prove that people are seriously lacking good education and a sense of nuance.
