UPDATED: 162 Documentaries To Expand Your Consciousness. Economagic: Economic Time Series Page. The Desert Fathers: Chapter 14...Reflections: a librarian's path. 2012/04 Simon Sinek. Zeitgeist: Moving Forward – A Discussion on the Future of the World. The following documentary is the most important film you could possibly watch. It’s massive implications reach across the globe and cannot be denied. It will change the way you view the monetary system, the economy and the future of this world. Its claims almost sound like conspiracy, but the evidence it intelligently builds upon rules out any chance of that. And do not be deterred by the 2:45 duration. If something is this important, would you really want it to be able to be squeezed into 10 minutes? Let’s cast away our modern 30-second attentions just this once because this is THAT important.

Without further ado, here is Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. After watching this, I ask you three questions: 1) Do you have any doubt with what this film presents as being inevitable? 2) Do you think their solution is a plausible? 3) What do you think is the first step in solving this problem? I’m closing down comments on this post and moving all discussion to an actual discussion.

A 13-Year-Old's Slavery Analogy Raises Some Uncomfortable Truths in School. In a bold comparative analysis of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Jada Williams, a 13-year old eighth grader at School #3 in Rochester, New York, asserted that in her experience, today's education system is a modern-day version of slavery. According to the Fredrick Douglass Foundation of New York, the schools' teachers and administrators were so offended by Williams' essay that they began a campaign of harassment—kicking her out of class and trying to suspend her—that ultimately forced her parents to withdraw her from the school. In her essay, which was written for a contest, Williams reflected on what Douglass heard his slave master, Mr.

Auld, telling his wife after catching her teaching Douglass how to read. "If you teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there will be no keeping him," Auld says. "It will forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master. " Photo via Wikimedia Commons.
