Trash for your mind
TikTok!
Absolutely fantastic artistic expression of Terrence McKenna's words. Bravo.
It’s the most inspirational quote of our time, I once used this in a Korean English class.
YES!!! Giving up tv and magazines 10 years ago changed my life!!! LOVE THIS!

Giving up television was never really a conscious decision for me. Why watch it? It's pointless.

yeah but now you watching this [i.e.,] the you-tube. try give this up!
@@fromthepeanutgallery1084 There's a lot more to choose from on CZcams though! I would argue that there is a lot of useful information on here, but one should probably get out of the consumer head-space as much as one can.
i give up tv 20 yrs ago. gave up radio a year ago. youtube and internet next!
Another interesting video, food for thought, thanks for sharing
Extremely important message, but I don’t think you need to go as far as to completely deny culture and cut yourself off from the entertainment value provided by it. Sharing in the enjoyment of watching certain TV shows can bring about a connectedness with fellow humans. I do agree however though that obsession with celebrity is a total waste of your life and precious mental energy.
Make your principal occupation with creating culture instead of consuming it, that's what the message is here. Get in touch with yourself more do something with whatever erupts forth. He comes off really absolutist here, but what he's really talking about is that obsessive regard for cultural ephemera that was rife in his day.
Uh. Choose what you consume. Be conscious of why you choose it. Be responsible for what you do with it. Control your own mind.
Simply beautiful. He could not be more right.
Took down my dish 20 years ago, and never watched TV again!
PREACH, Terrence! Few will listen tho.
There are "few" who "know". They don't need to be preached - they just gather around simple "truth" that is common deep inside. It's preachers and sheep I'm fucking horrified with 🤘
if this fascinates you I suggest watching My Dinner with Andre
One of my favorite movies.
I have been thinking along the same lines. With all the sharing of content on social media. Why not create your own content.
start a podcast with ur friends
it depresses me still how social media was not used to make anything positive, its just cultural consumption. even less creativity than the web before big social media arrived. all the stuff posted is the same, we turn it all into memes.

Singularity
yup. gettin that dose of ✨singularity✨
On the other hand, if there exists a cultural norm that prioritizes creativity and novelty above function (particularly in the case of making new gagets) there can be a stagnation of creativity because of the bias that new is good. Some might say that "you don't have to reinvent the wheel" is a proverb that illustrates my point here.
cheesepuff , it is nonsense. “Creativity” can and should not be the leading instrument. The basic concept of art is that some produce and some consume. The world is not NYC smug dude fairy land

Stay ahead of the curve.....step into the curve.....or be the curve. Right. A friend of mine who said if she started a skincare or cosmetic company she would have me as the spokes model....because she that being something other than the obvious ......that would be something to do.... was So yes my friends you found what we lost.
We worked at a place in West LA that closed down and we lost touch.....it was happenings with me. The number.....it should not have been changed. Lost touch with good people. Maybe I saw Jackie this morning.
Hell yes

5 STARS:-))))
Its not about giving up things you love it's about not listening to the bull shit society is trying to control us with give up TV do those things but you can still consume bullshit no matter what
Any idea who the original creator of this video is?
You can only act by taking ideas and more important facts from all sources.
Hi, who created this typography? I want to use some of it with my own music, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to.
\ SensubeS / .. he stole it .. he did not create but consume it without even paying
I can do both dis you ever think about that
CZcams is TV
"nostalgia - the geek x Vrv" ?
What if a close family member or a good friend or someone you love made a show on TV? What if they made money through music? What if you’re reading my CZcams comment?

hi you reading this, you are cute :)
whos the artist of the video?
Olivia Ferland (or something like that). The original is called 'take back your mind'. I just uploaded it to my community and linked to the original there if you want to find it that way.
Word salad
What utter nonsense. Stereotype of the smug NY gay dude
Terence McKenna wasn't just some gay dude from the upper west side of Manhattan. He was correct about the ability to create your own culture. I'm creating my own personal culture. I call it "Romance Culture" because its centered around things that are beautiful, mysterious and romantic. Terence McKenna may have been a psychedelic mushroom head, but he did make good sense about a lot of things!
