it all boils down to - yes we can percieve some realities. this is what our senses are for. to help us surive in our REAL environment. if we were unable to percieve this reality we'd be REALLY dead. we can experience reality to the limits our senses were designed for our daily survival. of course there are realities that we can't percieve but that doesn't mean that what we perciece isn't reality.

@darkbrother339 ... you just described my experiences too. from the 7th grade thoughout my 20s i had the same basic group of friends. adding and losing a few here and there along the way. making new friends when you're young seems so much easier than when you age. making new, TRUE friends as an adult has been almost impossible for me. no one's on the same wave-length as me. they don't even know how to party right. all i ever seem to meet are lightweights, liars or users. AT BEST! as a youngster i had many friends but i still spent much time alone too. i liked the choice. i believed the world was only going to get better. little did i know how much a nightmare life would turn out to be.

@sonicleaves ... i disagree. what you earn is owed to you. and, like respect, if you earn someone's friendship its owed to you. there's a lot of lonely people out there who've earned both respect and friendship but are getting neither.

@TerriTemple ... i've made that suggestion many times. but when you try to volunteer and all you hear is "we have enough volunteers" even that sets you back. what i did was create my own philosphy called "equalism" and i've dedicated my life to it. it hasn't made me any friends but its given me a goal and a purpose in life. I LIVE MY PRINCIPLES and that too turns people against me. people, in fact, DESPISE non-hypocrites and people of high ideals. i've devoted my life to making a better world FOR EVERYONE! its their loss if they don't want to join me. i'll just keep doing it anyway.

my gawd I hate this moron! science and engineering also created fake food, plastics,, industrial pollution, unaffordable medical care, aids, biological warfare, weaponized gas, more efficient forms of torture and warfare, nuclear bombs, trans-humanism, the cashless society, the surveillance society and the police state! every time I see this nut in some documentary i know he's gonna rationalize and defend the scientific slavery of the humanity. THANKS SCIENCE! thanks for turning my species into your guinea pigs and slaves for the elite!

let me rephrase my position. science is NO LONGER about the discovery truth. over the last 150 years its been about, oppression, manipulation AND PROFIT. they don't work for humanity anymore. they work for the fascists who pay their salaries.

time created the big bang. time set everything in motion. without time there'd be no movement, no growth, no change. personally, i believe so-called "scientists" more often than not over think and over complicate things. also, time DOES flow in both directions. (maybe even in more than 2 directions at once.) but nature created humanity to experience time only in one direction for own survival. our limited senses were formed specifically to experience reality as is needed for our survival. in other words, we have only 5 senses because its all we need to navigate and interpret reality to help our species survive. other animals and beings may have more senses to help them achieve the same goal. our perception of 3-dimensional space is the same. there's undoubtedly more dimensions that our senses just can't percieve because we don't need to percieve them. even our minds are too limited to even concieve of more than 3 dimensions or of time moving in more than one direction at once. the human experience is trapped by the limitations of our own senses. and that's how nature designed us to increase the possibility of our species survival. so time is both the cause and the ruler of our universe. so there. put that in your pipe and smoke it.

capitalist corporatism and its intrusive and tyrannical technology IS killing us. making us more stressful, isolated and abused than ever. the corporations, consumerism and profit-motives are corrupting our species and destroying our planet. they've corrupted our natural instincts and removed us from our natural connection with each otther and our planet. its created more misery, more mental illness and more apathy and cruelty than ever been seen in the human experience. thanks to this INSANE corporatism humanity is now suffering from a mass psychosis. we can no longer differntiate between reality, fraud and fantasy. we ALL live in fantasy bubbles of our creation that causes us to embrace fanaticism, extremism and absolute absurdism as "normal." we're a brainwashed, gullible, selfish, sick and disgusting species. we can no longer think independently. this is what's leading to the complete disintegration of human society and culture.

@bmoshareholderappleshareho855 ... the video makes a distinction between being alone and being lonely. you can be completely alone and not be lonely and be surrounded by people and be lonely as hell. i've been alone most of my adult life. both from choice and rejection. its their loss not mine. i love myself and my own company. but lately, as i age, i've become more susceptable to loneliness mainly because of the help i've needed. i have no one to turn to for help when i need it. no advocacy for my needs. over the last 15 years i've been screwed left and right. denied police protection, legal representation and medical care. i don't even have anyone to speak to to talk things out and help relieve my burdons. I DESPERATELY NEED HELP! i'm very ill but i'm completely on my own to fend for myself. one man against a huge callous, corrupt and uncaring bureacratic system doesn't stand a chance. having no family, friends or advocates in times of crisis really sux BIG TIME!

what the gentleman at 20:40 calls "optimists" i call opportunists, manipulators and profiteers. too many of these so-called brilliant people incorrectly equate technological development to "progress." they can't seem to grasp the reality of how destructive humanity's dependence and addiction to corporate technology really is. for nearly 200 years our writers have warned us of the coming police-state and it seems these people applaud its arrival. go figure.

yep, this physicist sure like to brag and overstate his importance. its true, these fascist physicists are responsible for ALL the "modern," miraculous police-state technology that INVADES your life, addicts your friends and controls your society. these mad scientists, right now, are fusing human dna with animal and insect dna to help create the ultra-soldier or the ultimate spy. these corrupt physicists, who NEVER think of the consequences of their "discoveries," are so busy doing whatever the hell they want for our corporate oppressors but never stop to think whether THEY SHOULD! i'd say these physicists are the stupidest, most apathetic, shortsighted and cruel people on earth.

@remiremsar5946 ... spoken like a true fascist. only fascists believe society was creared to defraud, harm, bully and enslave people. people owe me exactly what i owe them - respect, honesty, kindness, compassion, dignity, justice and FREEDOM!

@123girlie ... another drawback to being alone is you have no advocates to help you when you need it. right now i'm extremely ill. most days i can barely function. i can still fullfill my monthly obligations like paying my bills but i'm continually screwed by others, like doctors, cops, lawyers, landlords and neighbors and i'm too sick to adequately defend myself ALL BY MYSELF! if i had family and friends they could help me achieve the justice being denied me. i'm nearing 66 years old, suffering from elder neglect and abuse at every turn and NO ONE CARES! even those PAID to help me refuse to help. being alone in this circumstance is something i never even thought of when i was younger. vulnerable people like me are supposed to be protected BY LAW! but if no one will enforce the law there's absolutely NO HELP for us whatsoever.

@raquelgeneve ... i know what you mean. i'll be 66 in 2 months and one thing i learned is its nearly impossible to make new friends after 30. and i mean TRUE friends. and these days all this insane technology isn't helping. this technological police-state was sold to us as a means of connecting us but all it's done is isolate us and make us less trusting and more suspicious of each other. aren't the corporate elite JUST PEACHY KEEN?!

@palestar828 ... our isolation is the ruling elite's key to implementing the police-state. our rulers have created the illusion of a fantasy world where we have 1000s of friends when the reality is we're all alone addicted to and dependent on corporate technology for our daily survival. work from home, school from home, shop from home, visit your friends from home and play from home. there's NO REASON to ever leave your home. and the nightmare has only begun. just imagine how isolated and psychotic people will be in 20-30 years.

@GatileoGatilei ... i agree. with a few exceptions like nuclear, military and police technology the problem isn't the technology, per se, but who controls the technology and how the technology is used. technology can definately be used to HELP humanity. the problem is it rarely does. what it does is help our rulers maintain their power and increase their profits.
