Non-Profit, Social help
This is a rough-copy idea;
There are many organizations that help provide human necessities such as food, water, clothing, and shelter, but none that help provide just as important necessities such as love (umbrella category), someone to talk to, and touch.
So, organizations that help provide the other, very necessary parts of living to those in need.
Touch therapy, talking therapy (need only be an average person that is willing to talk and listen), non-profits that help those in need find friend and mate companionship, organizations that help pair those in need with "pets in need".

Video, Internet, "Politics"
"Politics" in that it's a discussion and illustration of beliefs, opinions, and their differences.
I think I've wrote this down in some form or another but I think it's important:
A round-table discussion featuring the same person, just "costumed" (e.g., one has a mustache, one has a top hat, etc) differently, with each "person" representing a different view-point for an issue..
The discussion illustrates the different "positions" on an issue- what they are, why they are, and how they're different from others.
A level-headed discussion that basically boils down the divisiveness of issues to show the truth of the "opinion/belief landscape".
No value attributed to any of the "positions".
Examples of issues: Abortion, Israel vs Palestine, Liberalism vs Conservatism, "Religion vs Science"

Poem
Live my child, and be unafraid;
Let the rainbow of your self rush forth and fill the world around you.
But know that, if you do that which I do not approve of,
I will remove my love.
And so go on into this world;
Never happy.
Always chasing something that you can't quite understand,
Because what you're chasing is the true expression of yourself;
And that self is imprisoned deep within with bars of the strongest stuff;
The fear of being dis-loved.

------------------
Alternative energy, reduction in tornado damage.
A system for the energy harnessing of tornadoes, and also a way to safely release the potential energy of weather systems that create tornadoes in high-risk areas.
I had this idea many years ago.
The idea is based upon one crucial premise which may or may not be true:
The system of a tornado is basically the same as the system of water funneling down a drain-
That a tornado is created because of a mass of cooler air has become suspended over a mass of warmer air, and this system becomes "equalized" via a tornado that has the warmer air traveling up through the center of the tornado, and cooler air traveling down, along the outside of the tornado.
^If that premise isn't true then the idea doesn't work.
The idea is the usage of a "device" that acts as a catalyst for creating tornadoes via a relatively low-power laser at the center of the device, with tunnels extending from the center to a great area around the center. The center is elevated slightly off of the ground.
Small fan turbines are inside the tunnels. The laser fires vertically. The tornado begins to form around the laser. The air going through the tunnels is managed so the tornado does not get too large, but still is forced to stay centered on the device. The fan turbines are used to "piggy back" off of the system to harness some energy.

Technology, Video, Animation, Art
A metaphorical illustration and guide on the creation of any "pathway" (a mechanism for the efficient transfer of information or matter).
Initially there is travel from Point A to Point B with units. Then the units start bringing things to create a mesh around the path they take from Point A to Point B. The mesh allows for more efficient transmission on the path. Through continual addition the mesh becomes a tunnel.
The tunnel is a solid connection from Point A to Point B and allows for the most efficient transmission.
Expeditionaries place way-points where there wasn't a path. Adventurers that follow place more way-points and camps along the way. Tradesmen and families create a dirt road and small towns along the way. The camps become unecessary and disappear. Engineers and tradesmen create roads.
Engineers and tradesmen create better roads. The towns become unecessary and disappear. The roads become high-efficiency rails. The rails become tubes. Point A and Point B become almost indistinguishable. New Point B's are focused on.
^^^^^^^^^ My initial idea was to illustrate this concept with "boxy" animation in space. My main point is that efficient passage-ways can be made anywhere.

Internet, Social
A website designated solely with displaying the most violent individuals and "people of nations". Measured in killings perpetrated.
The most violent "people of nations" is calculated this way: All killings perpetrated through the judicial system* and offensive wars/conflicts (any
military action that is not a nation defending itself within its own borders) by that nation is divided by the number of people within that nation.
So basically it's how many people each person kills through the actions of their governments. Also an obligatory list of the most peaceful
"people of nations".
Compiled and a "top ten" list for individuals and "people of nations" posted every week. A "top ten" list per week, per month, per year.
Information on how totals were reached diplayed when each nation is clicked on, as well as a page for each nation, tracking
its "progress" with statistical displays and additional information.
*(self-defense killings by police officers not included)

The creation of art should never be pursued as a profession.
Poem
I was walking down a path.
The air was passing from my right. I could hear it in the trees, and feel it, slightly, in my hair.
As I walked others came and joined me. Sometimes singly, other times in groups. We walked together.
They strengthened me.
At times I would fall, and they would lift me up.
They accepted me.
They accepted all the colors of myself. I knew that with them I was safe.
As time passed some left, but they did not become entirely gone. They were not physically there but still walked with me. When
I would fall, their spirits lifted me up.
Soon I died and passed from this life.

Commentary on "Blow back"
Blow back does not just include retaliation against the US. Blow back also includes the severe tightening of national security for
other countries, and the reduction for civil liberties to people of other countries due to the threat of instability insighted
by other countries.
To clandestinely overthrow other countries' regimes is a very short-sighted and unwise thing.

A love story poem
I was born crying.
My father was strong and my mother was loving.
Through their love and openness they built me and taught me how to be happy in this world.
I strove forward in this life with the support of my family and soon friends that gave me strength and courage to do the hardest things in life.
As I traveled forward an angel came to me. She sat on my lap. She made me happy. I embraced her and she me.
From our embrace sprung children- plants flourishing from the earth of our love.
We tended them as we ourselves were tended when we were growing.
Before us, as our children grew, and then had children, we witnessed the ever-increasing blossoming of Love.
As we grew old we looked behind us and saw that we a part of this grand blossoming, that comes from our ancestors and continues through our children.

Science creates a platform of "what is known" and "what is unknown" about reality for humanity. Thinkers, mystics, and artists then create a
garden of ideas from this platform, and with this, the creation of our own existence. The created ideas should not contradict science,
but science cannot invalidate an idea because it travels into "the unknown".

Poem
"In the land of the automobile"
I went out from my house into a place of stillness and calm. From stillness reached out my touching of the people of my community.
We began to touch eachother and create relationships. A noise was heard. A car passed by on a nearby road. We waited for it to pass,
then continued with the creation of our community. Another car passed. We paused. Then another. We went in our houses and waited.
The cars did not stop. Our reaching out withdrew. We stayed in our houses.

Music, Culture, Social, Internet
An internet program/website that allows users to individualy or collectively create classical music compositions through humming. The program translates
the music hummed into music played by an artificial (non-human) classical instrument of the user's choosing. The tone-age of the humming is translated
"ver-batim" (never have an option to auto-tune humming translation), but afterwards the user can manually tweak the tone of the music played. Once a
composition is completed, the user or group can then post it to another part of the website. Users vote on posted compositions and the ones with
the highest votes every month are played by a professional orchestra. Afterwards the recordings of the performances are then posted on a designated place on the website.
If the website proves successful, then follow up with video recordings of the performances and live streaming of the performances.

Energy and matter as it pertains to all existence
The idea of energy and matter can be used when contemplating what seem to be significantly different dimensions of life/existence as a tool for a better understanding of systems within our existence and of reality as a whole.
The idea of matter vs energy can be translated into an idea of things vs ways; objects vs affects; beliefs/opinions vs contemplation; Action vs thought; business establishments vs trade/inter-business communication- E.g., The physical, concrete things vs the way those things interact.
Our existence, as we know it, involves both matter and energy; things, and ways;- but I believe that when we invest ourselves in matter, we lose truth (of reality). When we "give up" on matter, we gain truth (of reality). However, to give up entirely on matter is to give up entirely on our existence as we know it.
I believe that in pure contemplation lies pure truth. To form an opinion (or any thought for that matter) is an act of distancing one's self from the truth; in fact the thoughts themselves are fallacies. However, to never form an opinion or make a choice is to never exist as it is generally defined; It's a trade-off between truth and (popular) existence.
Thoughts disparage one's self from the truth; but if there is no thought, there is no existence as we know it- there is only being within patterns.
Pure truth is living within the patterns, but if there are no patterns, and just uniform energy, there is no true existence.
Existence, as we know it, comes from the emergence of characteristics from patterns, but the emergence is a fallacy; Existence, as we know it, is a fallacy.
I believe that in pure energy lies the truest existence of the universe. That matter is just a perceived (perceived as opposed to actually real) by-product of energy patterns. However this perceived emergent thing called matter, and it's interaction via "energy", is currently existence as we know it.
Consider hand puppets- the patterns of energy are the hands within the puppets; the fallacy is the puppets themselves. We see a world where the puppets are interacting with eachother- but this is all false; What is in fact happening is the patterns interacting with eachother. Remove the puppets from the hands and you see the truth.
What is real are the patterns of energy. In a concluded pattern is emergent fallacy- matter, or an idea. Conclusions themselves are a fallacy.
Truth lies in energy; in the BEing, and if there are patterns, then also in being the patterns of energy, but not in what is "created from the patterns".
Being requires energy and existing requires patterns. We, as humans take this one step further and claim existence with matter, which is a fallacy.
"Emergence" itself, per the emergence of characteristics from energy patterns, is the fallacy. To buy into "emergence" is to buy into a false world.
Matter isn't real; the emergence of characteristics from patterns isn't real; So where does the purest form of truth lie in the universe and reality? It lies in the BEing within the patterns, rather than the being with the matter- because the matter is the falacy.
Note:
Try activities which allow you to let go of the pursuance of thought (allow you to "shut off your mind"), and merge with energy patterns. One activity I can think of is free-dancing- letting go of thought, and becoming one with the music through dance- it has worked for me. Others use meditation in conjunction with different types of rhythm (audio, breathing). Others use psychedelics, which seem to artificially "break" your mind in conjunction with different types of rhythm. I am not recommending nor promoting the use of psychedelics, it's just one route some people take.
------------------
----------------------------
A thought on synaptic pathing in the brain per "Doer's" vs "Thinkers" less ( Knee-jerk thoughts with conclusions vs consideration ), and beyond (action vs contemplation in groups, business, and nations).
------
The brain is a mass of potential synaptic connections.
Point A is the originated place of a thought, Point B is the actionable outcome (not external/physical outcome; the end; in conjunction with Point A, creates a "conclusion") of the thought*.
Every time a brain uses a thought pathing (e.g., I'm going to eat... a banana), the connectivity from Point A to Point B becomes more direct.
-----
The more direct the connectivity, more efficient the thought.. but it's more than that.
It's less doubt, instantaneous- the thought beomes knee-jerk. The person does not think about it. The thought comes closer and closer to being hard-wired.
The mind becomes an instantaneous organ. The person (in the areas of these thought pathways) becomes a do-er. They act. They do not think, they just act. They get things done.
This is all because of the directness of the connectivity.
-----
On the opposite side of the spectrum is the mass of potential synaptic connections.
The mass represents an infinite amount of possible connections, i.e, possible thoughts- on the opposite side of the spectrum is unlimited possibilities.
The more (dispersed) the pathway from Point A to Point B, the more "thoughts" (individual Point A to Point B thought blocks) that can enter into the macro thought pathway. The less a brain uses a single pathway, the less direct is the pathway, allowing more potential for (dispersion) of the entire path (macro pathway).
The more a brain resists (refrains from straightforward completion of) the process of going from Point A to Point B, the more expanded the pathway is allowed to be- but other micro pathways need to be available to the brain for them to be possible in the macro pathway**;
Most micro pathways (thoughts) are interconnected, either directly or indirectly, but the addition of new micro pathways into a macro pathway is much easier when the connection has been previously introduced. This introduction can be direct (someone telling another: Eisenhower liked the color blue), or "indirect" (someone telling another: When he was a teenager, most of Eisenhower's things were blue), with a scaling degree of directness, from obvious to where the connectivity is practically unseen. The more direct a connectivity, the easier, and greater the chance that a micro path will be added to a macro path.
(For instance, with a person considering decorating Eisenhower's house, the former statement would be added to the macro thought(s) much easier.)
The more (dispersed) a pathway, the less efficient it is. Conclusions are slower. Thoughts are less defined. The pathway is more prone to be "tied up" in micro pathways. The less-direct the connectivity of a pathway, the more potential there is to bring in irrelevant micro pathways into a macro. (i.e., to bring in thoughts that have, at best, no value to the conclusion of the macro thought, and at worst, to create a conclusion to the thought that is wholy "incorrect"). (Uncontrolled) (dispersion) can be madness, with a thought pathway bringing in micro pathways that have no actual connection to the macro pathway.
On the "flip-side", the less-direct connectivity of a pathway, the more potential there is to bring in more "insight" into a pathway, or thought- the more potential to arrive at the "best" conclusion to a pathway. Put another way, a less-direct pathing of a pathway that involves connectivity with micro pathways that are relevant to the macro pathway brings in the potential for greater understanding and a wiser conclusion to the pathway.
-----
I believe that a (dispersed) state of the brain is our natural state from birth, and as we grow many of our pathways become more direct.
-----
Without too much work one can bring this idea from the brain, into groups, businesses, and nations, as humans tend to recreate themselves in their macro representations (groups, businesses, societies, nations). Without going too much into it, consider a nation that has used militarism as their fundamental interaction with the "outside world"; to have the nation pursue a path that isn't militarism would be a significantly difficult path (because the pathways would not be built for other "ways"- the only efficient "macro pathway" would be violence.
-------
*A thought can be broken down into many, approaching infinite Point A's and Point B's; A concrete, recognized thought, built from a multitude of thought (Point A to Point B) building blocks.
I'm going to eat (Point A)... a banana (Point B).
I'm going to (Point A) eat (Point B) A banana (Point A and Point B)
I (Point A) am (Point B) going (Point A and Point B) to eat (Point A and Point B) a banana (Point A and Point B)
(I can be broken down into many Point A's and B's, same with am, going, to eat, and a banana)
** A person kept in total confinement from birth to acceptable consciousness (if this were possible w/out death), and taught only that they are human (given no other input, verbal or non-verbal, to absorb) (if this were possible) and given a pathway to process (e.g., "What are you?") (pathway is "I am human"), whether they resist the processing of the pathway or not, nothing extra will enter into the pathway- because there is nothing available to be added into it. At most, there will only be greater potential for other things to be added to the pathway.

The message of "you're okay" is one of the most powerful ones we have.
To be accepted in the bosom of whatever people we are with.
It's a message of assurance and safety and acceptance.
A child can come to physical harm, and if his/her parents are there with the message of "you're okay", they will survive and thrive.
(This message of "you're okay" is different from a message of "you're okay, don't cry" (the former being strengthening, the latter being weakening).
However if a child gets a message from their parents counter to "you're okay", the child need not come to any harm- they will still flounder and fail.

Product, Commercial
A force-measurement pad that is made as a sheath for normal punching bags in order to upgrade them into punching bags that
register and display force-applied data. A digital display @ the top of the punching bag,
or remotely displayed (via. a cord coming through the top of the "sheeth", or via wi-fi).
The business plan would be to see if these are mass-producably viable @ a reasonable end-price for the consumers,
Then to market the product to gyms, and given success with this, to pursue the general consumer.
-------------------------------
Social, Art, Community
I thought I had posted this, but apparently I was saving it in case I wanted to pursue it.
Title: "Community Art"
Synopsis:
A non-profit "one-man" operation that facilitates the process/system of people of a community creating art
for each-other, with the intended end-result of creating a stronger community.
Quite simple really; A person, or couple, set up a stand at a farmer's market, and sell art only made by members of the "community"*
only to members of that "community"*. "Customers" must provide proof that they are a member of said "community"* (with License or Library card, etc.).
Initial sources of art can be from students and senior citizens.
The prices of the works of art are substantially just amounts to cover the cost of production of the art.
It's important that there is a distinction between "crafts" and "art", and "crafts" should never be distributed through this system.
Pieces are labeled with the name of the artist, and the road they live on.
Messages to the artist / from the artist go through the non-profit,
with messages to those under 18 read by the non-profit, then given to the parents first.
*The "community" is a zone that is small enough that a community spirit can truly be created from it.
Basically, a medium-sized suburb will be partitioned into "zones" of, for example, 1000 people.
This is working under the premise that most "towns" are too large to allow the creation of a true community spirit/soul.
I have this more elaborated on in one of my note pads.
-------------------------------------
The following 2 ideas are rooted in the premise of the importance of gaining conceptualization
for a society- having an idea understood and accepted as an idea for a people.
---------
Commercial, social, Alternative energy
(This idea is about 7 or 8 years old, but I think it would still be "successful")
A "product" that aims at giving solar energy greater common marketability through increased general awareness, acceptance, and support.
So the product is a simple device that is installed on a solar panel system, on the outside of a home. The device is a bell (actual, not digital),
that chimes a pleasant tone every time the panel creates an increment of power.
(Say, for example, enough power to power 5 household lights for one day. Something easily conceptualized, and will provide an average "ringing"
of at least a few times a day, given the locale (New England vs Southern California), but not so much as to be annoying to the neighbors).
This promotes the solar panel system to the owner, and to his/her neighbors, passively spreading awareness, acceptance, and ideally, support, throughout
the populace.
-----------
Commercial, Social, Alternative Energy
(This idea is about 7 or 8 years old, but I think it would still be reasonably "successful")
The creation of a locale within the U.S.A. focused on promoting, and strengthening the evolution of, "Alternative Energy".
---
Initial Realization:
A locale established within the Western United States, conducive to wind and solar power, that hosts periodic "competitions"
for "all forms of alternative energy".
The area of land must be expansive and surrounded with cheap land to allow for easy expansion.
Have standard classes (e.g., wind power, solar power, wave/tidal harnessing) for competitions,
as well as classes of competitions for creative, innovative designs for harnessing renewable energy.
Post all videos online as promotion for the "contestants" and for the events & venue.
Make the time of competition festive, but not over-the-top festive.
---

To eventually become "The Captital of Alternative Energy"; THE meeting place and "center" for all things "Alternative Energy" within the U.S.A..

----------------------------------
To be accepted in the bosom of whatever people we are with.
It's a message of assurance and safety and acceptance.
A child can come to physical harm, and if his/her parents are there with the message of "you're okay", they will survive and thrive.
(This message of "you're okay" is different from a message of "you're okay, don't cry" (the former being strengthening, the latter being weakening).
However if a child gets a message from their parents counter to "you're okay", the child need not come to any harm- they will still flounder and fail.
------------------------------
Relationships are a well-woven lie, created to perpetuate the human race.
Things in Life are so much easier when you do them for the enjoyment of doing them.
The fearful use violence to protect themselves. Those that have violence used against them become fearful.

"All I think is, if you can find work; stay healthy; find someone to share it with; you're the ultimate success."

If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing.
If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy...
Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones
worth suffering for

Product, Commercial
A force-measurement pad that is made as a sheath for normal punching bags in order to upgrade them into punching bags that
register and display force-applied data. A digital display @ the top of the punching bag,
or remotely displayed (via. a cord coming through the top of the "sheeth", or via wi-fi).
The business plan would be to see if these are mass-producably viable @ a reasonable end-price for the consumers,
Then to market the product to gyms, and given success with this, to pursue the general consumer.
-------------------------------
Social, Art, Community
I thought I had posted this, but apparently I was saving it in case I wanted to pursue it.
Title: "Community Art"
Synopsis:
A non-profit "one-man" operation that facilitates the process/system of people of a community creating art
for each-other, with the intended end-result of creating a stronger community.
Quite simple really; A person, or couple, set up a stand at a farmer's market, and sell art only made by members of the "community"*
only to members of that "community"*. "Customers" must provide proof that they are a member of said "community"* (with License or Library card, etc.).
Initial sources of art can be from students and senior citizens.
The prices of the works of art are substantially just amounts to cover the cost of production of the art.
It's important that there is a distinction between "crafts" and "art", and "crafts" should never be distributed through this system.
Pieces are labeled with the name of the artist, and the road they live on.
Messages to the artist / from the artist go through the non-profit,
with messages to those under 18 read by the non-profit, then given to the parents first.
*The "community" is a zone that is small enough that a community spirit can truly be created from it.
Basically, a medium-sized suburb will be partitioned into "zones" of, for example, 1000 people.
This is working under the premise that most "towns" are too large to allow the creation of a true community spirit/soul.
I have this more elaborated on in one of my note pads.
-------------------------------------
The following 2 ideas are rooted in the premise of the importance of gaining conceptualization
for a society- having an idea understood and accepted as an idea for a people.
---------
Commercial, social, Alternative energy
(This idea is about 7 or 8 years old, but I think it would still be "successful")
A "product" that aims at giving solar energy greater common marketability through increased general awareness, acceptance, and support.
So the product is a simple device that is installed on a solar panel system, on the outside of a home. The device is a bell (actual, not digital),
that chimes a pleasant tone every time the panel creates an increment of power.
(Say, for example, enough power to power 5 household lights for one day. Something easily conceptualized, and will provide an average "ringing"
of at least a few times a day, given the locale (New England vs Southern California), but not so much as to be annoying to the neighbors).
This promotes the solar panel system to the owner, and to his/her neighbors, passively spreading awareness, acceptance, and ideally, support, throughout
the populace.
-----------
Commercial, Social, Alternative Energy
(This idea is about 7 or 8 years old, but I think it would still be reasonably "successful")
The creation of a locale within the U.S.A. focused on promoting, and strengthening the evolution of, "Alternative Energy".
---
Initial Realization:
A locale established within the Western United States, conducive to wind and solar power, that hosts periodic "competitions"
for "all forms of alternative energy".
The area of land must be expansive and surrounded with cheap land to allow for easy expansion.
Have standard classes (e.g., wind power, solar power, wave/tidal harnessing) for competitions,
as well as classes of competitions for creative, innovative designs for harnessing renewable energy.
Post all videos online as promotion for the "contestants" and for the events & venue.
Make the time of competition festive, but not over-the-top festive.
---
End Goal:
To eventually become "The Captital of Alternative Energy"; THE meeting place and "center" for all things "Alternative Energy" within the U.S.A..

A video mirroring a person describing a "debilitating" or "limiting" biological condition, that, with adequate support from others,
can see the person/people with it, reach success. The video shows the person or people "suffering" from said condition, and others
assisting them.
In this video, however, the narrator is describing normal life. "With adequate support, a person with normal life, can achieve success."

A jig music
A person is dancing emphatically in an irish style.
She dances somewhat forward and a baby appears before her. An ethereal part of her is shown flowing to the baby.
As it grows the baby and child begin dancing.
Her dance is cgi'd to be magical.
Soon she fades but the ethereal part of her that is left flows into the child.
The baby grows and begins to dance. It grows into an adult and dances like the woman.

A comically-approached statement on the ineffiency of our political system, and an indirect proposal on a potentially better way.
2 puppets dressed up as scientific researchers introduce a test to see which of two political systems is
more efficient socially, economically, and politically.
In Test 1 is a political system in which politicians are beholden to the sources of money that keeps them in "power", and almost all of their
energy is expended on political "chess". They vote according to their own self-interests- what will keep them in power, and what will expand their
power.
The efficiency of this system is comically displayed in the areas of society, economics, and politics.
In Test 2
Comical puppets with googly eyes are the "politicians". They make silly jokes 90% of the time and
10% of the time they vote on legislation according to how a chip inside each of their heads tells them to.
The comical puppets have no actual brains.
The how-to-vote commands are uploaded from the citizens the puppets "represent". Each citizen sends a yes or no vote
to the chip and the commands result from a simple majority.
The efficiency of this system per society, economics, and politics is also displayed and elaborated on.

Song, social
"The crying (dirge) of the warrior"
A slow Irish warrior song style - See "Handsome Cabin Boy" by Kate Bush
Synopsis:
(I come from a land of war and battle. It was my life. To protect my community I needed to be a warrior and there was value in it.
I fought many brave battles and I was honored for my willingness to lay my life down to protect my community.)
(Now I am displaced in a world that is constantly safe. There is no true protection I can give. This is unnatural.)
That we as humans come from a place of fighting to protect what's our's, and in a large enough society, where our protection is
far off in the distance, and we are here in a place that is "safe", what is a warrior to do?
----------------------------
You need to illustrate this:
We need to illustrate the dangerous path of corporate-government control over populations.
Greed and power is soon to put a strangle-hold on true revolutionary change (through the reduction of civil liberties
and the invasion of personal privacy, combined with corruption in government) and this is dangerous.
This is a sliding path, like morality in society- it needs to be constantly fought- there will always be (pressure for a greater
and greater increase in these problems).
The further we travel down this path the more difficult it will
be to free humanity from this, until it is fundamentaly impossible.
It used to be the case that the populace could rise up, take arms, and overthrow the "status quo" because it was overly corrupted.
With modern technology used by society, and governments, this is soon to become impossible.
We are living in a very dangerous time- where the free will of humanity is at stake.
-----------------------------
A movie featuring a relationship that is continually in a loop. The protaganist is a male.
The male passionately loves a girl (he truly loves her, and this is consistently shown in the movie).
The male is disfunctional in life, and particularly relationship-wise; the girl is your average relatively healthy, but imperfect girl.
The girl has a "low profile" in the movie, but enough to communicate the plot and her basic (fundamental) love for him,
and whatever is necessary to create the necessary elements of the movie (comedy (if that's what the movie becomes), drama,etc).
Throughout the movie he has a male friend that he communicates with, giving insight into the male's thoughts.
The friend is a narrative tool for the movie, and acts as such. (does not give a verbal narrative).
The male has a family which frames his disfunction, and is shown as being a reason behind his disfunction.
The truth, and heart of the story revolves around the passionate love of the man for the women- this is very important.
He has fairly important things from his past that he hasn't dealt with (familiy stuff or otherwise), and the importance of this becomes
more and more obvious as the movie progresses (but is there throughout the movie). This thing or group of things is the goliath/dragon in the movie.
The girl ends up dumping the boy in Story 1 due to the disfunctionality of the boy in the relationship. The male feels he didn't do anything wrong.
He is distraught, and at one point "freaks out".
After "freaking out", the male is confused; He has been placed back in time to the beginning of his relationship with the girl.
In this, Story 2, the male acts in a similar way to how he acted in Story 1, as he feels that he did little wrong. His general position
this story is that he's doing little wrong, and many times actually blames The male is again dumped.
Reset again, and Story 3, the male is at the beginning of the relationship again. He reflects somewhat on the relationship.
He superficially changes how he acts in some situations.
Again, failure.
Story 4. Now he significantly looks at the relationship. He makes a significant attempt to change how he acts. This shows some promise.
He is unable to "hold it together" in the relationship due to the disfunctionality of his own life.
He sees that the relationship isn't going to work, well before she dumps him. He shouts "AGAIN!"
Story 5. He goes into therapy and self-help groups. He makes a concerted effort to change himself, and this shows great promise.
Things are much better. The girl is willing to "go all the way" with him (i.e., long-term). His change is blocked at a certain point.
He becomes aware that his change is "blocked" towards the end of this story. The girl wants to get married, and he feels "in a bind", because
he sees, with the help of therapy, self-help, and otherwise, that she deserves "better". After much consideration he says "Again!"
Story 6. Through therapy, groups, and self-realization, he finds that to heal fully he needs to
(confront/apologize/forgive/bring closure to) his past/(a thing or group of things from his past) (family, maybe others) and forgive.
He begins to go through this work.
After one of these confrontation/forgiveness/apologies/closures he leaves. His girl is waiting for him.
He takes her hand and they walk away.
Movie ends.
[What are the most important points of the beginning of the story are the novelty of having a second chance, and the realization of the truths
of the relationship rather than what the protagonist initially feels.
What are the most important points of the middle of the story are the path of self-growth, and a (sea) change for the protaganist as far
viewing himself goes, what's important in his life, selflessness in the relationship, and the beginning of a crystallization of things of his
past that control him now.
What are the most important points of the end of the story is continuing to be more selfless- more concerned about what's best for the girl,
and the solidification of the things in his past as his "dragon to fight".]
This still needs to be fleshed out to be made viable.

"The colors fades"
Art piece- as a standing piece of art, or a moving, performance art piece (in a small space- per art museum/show), and/or a video
A sheet of white cloth (like a bed sheet). The sheet has visual representations of the physical aspect of human existence-
- People, buildings, businesses, "things".
Most of it though, is people. Very realistic illustrations of people- either through pictures or video.
The act of washing the sheet is shown. After each wash the illustrations are more faded, eventually fading completely.

A new Martin Luther King Jr. video, featuring him speaking before Washington D.C. in his "I have a dream speach".
But in this video, a new speech is over-dubbed (with a mlk impersonator) with him lambasting today's black youth, rappers, and media.
"Thinking wasting school and "thugging" is cool, wasting potential, having babies as kids"
Basically- "wtf?" "You're fucking retarded" "What's wrong with you?"
Have Hopsin write the words.
(Hopsin per lyrasist- Ill mind of hopsin)
----------------------
"Spiral of shame"
Individuals are in a circle. They illustrate the (internal) spiral of shame @ blame.
Ideally they are all the same person, but perhaps different people costumed the same (e.g., all with fake mustaches);
this would give some light-heartedness to the video, which might be overall positive.
Sequel: Same situation, but then other variables are added that break the "spiral of shame", to illustrate what does so.

A naked newborn baby is carried by a parent or parents. on a flesh-colored terrain.
The baby is cradled horizontally to the ground, on it's back, over the arms/hands of the parent/parents.
A very life-like body
The baby grows into a youngster in the same position, and then the child is somehow shown as being carried by more than just
the parent(s)- uncles, grandparents, aunts.
The youngster grows into a young adult and is somehow shown as being carried by the community.
The person becomes an adult. Stands up on the hands of the community, and cradles his/her arms. On his/her arms appears a newborn baby.
The hands of the community become the terrain that the new adult is walking on.
Looped video.
--------------------------------
Video, social, art
Title of series "Being".
A video series of 3 or more videos. Video 1 is the main one and should be treated as such. The following videos are just "sequels".
The music of these videos is core and fundamental to the videos.
Video 1:
Happy music.
There are people in beautiful flower costumes (paper with large flower shapes around the heads,
the beauty comes from the design and color on the front of the flowers) on in droves along the side of the track,
but as the person moves about the track, the flowers are turned to the side, and their side-on view is one that makes it look as though
the flowers are blurred, and also the flowers from this side-view are pale- almost bleached of life.
Video starts with flower people dancing. Then the woman is shown quickly moving about the track. A woman is shown moving about a track
oval with a drawn face (as in a constant state of strain/focus).
A 3/4 materialized person is behind the woman, forcing her forward w/ a whip.
The "flowers" are turned to the side.
The woman slows and stops.
The flowers turn and show their beauty. The materialized person is yelling (without sound) at the woman to
keep/start running (again). People- some adults and a couple children, come out from the flowers and dance around the woman.
The woman blinks and looks around. Soon she anxiously looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.
After a period of time she stops again. This time she pauses more and walks up to the flowers. Touches the beautiful designs
on them. She briefly holds the hands of the people dancing about her, but does not dance.
All this time the whipper is in consternation. She eventually looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.
Last time. She stops again. She becomes amazed with the beauty of the flowers and laughs exuberantly andsincerely while dancing
a little with the people. She looks back at the whipper. She walks back and grapples with the whipper. She wrestles the whipper
to the ground and the whipper is represented as being dead. The woman turns back and dances with the people while the flowers dance.
She then goes down the track dancing with the people. Some flowers have gone onto the track also and are dancing with them.
Video 2
Same start, same environment, different music
This time a man. Same start.
He stops once. The first stop happens twice. He keeps running. He becomes old while running. Eventually he collapses.
One hand flat on the ground. The turned (bland) flowers in the background. He dies then turns to dust.
Video 3 and 4
Videos 1 and 2 are done with parents, and their children are with them.
The children learn from the parents through being with them, and at the end of each video mimic what the parents did.
--------------------------
A generic "classified ad" representing all of humanity.
Looking for parents that will protect me, teach me to be healthy and strong, love me, be interested in what I'm interested in,
and encourage me.
Looking for a family that will help me grow as an individual, that will allow me to contribute my strength to them, and will contribute
its strength to me. A family that will help me start to realize for myself, a purpose in my life.
Looking for friends that will share their lives with me. That will share their hopes and fears with me, and will allow me to do the
same with them. Friends that will share with me, the difficulties in life, as well as the triumphs. Friends that will love me
regardless. Friends that I can lovingly give to and that will do the same to me.
Looking for a community that will help me further grow and improve as an individual. A community that will, again, allow me to

further enrichens my life in meaningful ways.

A peopley depiction of the spending of the United states (how much is spent on x,y,z)
Crowds, groups of people represent the different "areas" of spending- all within a well-defined area of ground, like a football field.
People in the groups represent different facets, opinions of each area of spending.

Video, with cgi or maybe just animated.
A naked newborn baby is carried by a parent or parents. on a flesh-colored terrain.
The baby is cradled horizontally to the ground, on it's back, over the arms/hands of the parent/parents.
A very life-like body
The baby grows into a youngster in the same position, and then the child is somehow shown as being carried by more than just
the parent(s)- uncles, grandparents, aunts.
The youngster grows into a young adult and is somehow shown as being carried by the community.
The person becomes an adult. Stands up on the hands of the community, and cradles his/her arms. On his/her arms appears a newborn baby.
The hands of the community become the terrain that the new adult is walking on.

Video, social, art
Title of series "Being".
A video series of 3 or more videos. Video 1 is the main one and should be treated as such. The following videos are just "sequels".
The music of these videos is core and fundamental to the videos.
Video 1:
Happy music.
There are people in beautiful flower costumes (paper with large flower shapes around the heads,
the beauty comes from the design and color on the front of the flowers) on in droves along the side of the track,
but as the person moves about the track, the flowers are turned to the side, and their side-on view is one that makes it look as though
the flowers are blurred, and also the flowers from this side-view are pale- almost bleached of life.
Video starts with flower people dancing. Then the woman is shown quickly moving about the track. A woman is shown moving about a track
oval with a drawn face (as in a constant state of strain/focus).
A 3/4 materialized person is behind the woman, forcing her forward w/ a whip.
The "flowers" are turned to the side.
The woman slows and stops.
The flowers turn and show their beauty. The materialized person is yelling (without sound) at the woman to
keep/start running (again). People- some adults and a couple children, come out from the flowers and dance around the woman.
The woman blinks and looks around. Soon she anxiously looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.
After a period of time she stops again. This time she pauses more and walks up to the flowers. Touches the beautiful designs
on them. She briefly holds the hands of the people dancing about her, but does not dance.
All this time the whipper is in consternation. She eventually looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.
Last time. She stops again. She becomes amazed with the beauty of the flowers and laughs exuberantly andsincerely while dancing
a little with the people. She looks back at the whipper. She walks back and grapples with the whipper. She wrestles the whipper
to the ground and the whipper is represented as being dead. The woman turns back and dances with the people while the flowers dance.
She then goes down the track dancing with the people. Some flowers have gone onto the track also and are dancing with them.
Video 2
Same start, same environment, different music
This time a man. Same start.
He stops once. The first stop happens twice. He keeps running. He becomes old while running. Eventually he collapses.
One hand flat on the ground. The turned (bland) flowers in the background. He dies then turns to dust.
Video 3 and 4
Videos 1 and 2 are done with parents, and their children are with them.
The children learn from the parents through being with them, and at the end of each video mimic what the parents did.
--------------------------
A generic "classified ad" representing all of humanity.
Looking for parents that will protect me, teach me to be healthy and strong, love me, be interested in what I'm interested in,
and encourage me.
Looking for a family that will help me grow as an individual, that will allow me to contribute my strength to them, and will contribute
its strength to me. A family that will help me start to realize for myself, a purpose in my life.
Looking for friends that will share their lives with me. That will share their hopes and fears with me, and will allow me to do the
same with them. Friends that will share with me, the difficulties in life, as well as the triumphs. Friends that will love me
regardless. Friends that I can lovingly give to and that will do the same to me.
Looking for a community that will help me further grow and improve as an individual. A community that will, again, allow me to
contribute to it in meaningful ways, so my life gains further purpose. A community that I can meaningfully contribute to, and that
further enrichens my life in meaningful ways.

New "Robot wars" competition.
End step is "nano" robots use energy to construct themselves, and feed off the energy to destroy the other robots.
Initial step is-
there are multiple sources of energy (a small fan, a lamp giving off natural light,
maybe some sort of other moving "stream" to harness.
Designers build a robot or robots capable of harnessing the given energy and destroying the other robot(s). The only limit is mass.
-no supplied energy othe(including most forms of potential energy). All energy has to be harvested from the sources.

On chasing general relativity down the rabbit hole of quantum mechanics.
There's been much energy invested in attempting to create a "Theory of everything."
A problem that I've thought of is the problem of chasing down the cause of emergent properties by looking closer and closer into the
practically infinite amount of building blocks that collectively create these properties.*
Using exaggeration as an Example:
Take a property that is an emergent attribute of a "mass"
The property emerges from an infinite amount of "cells"
As you dissect the mass into smaller and smaller parts, the ability to see that which creates the property
becomes more and more difficult to see;
So that when you've delved down to the level of infinite, that which collectively creates this property
is impossible to see.
This is like chasing relativity down the rabbit hole of quantum mechanics. Humans dig and dissect in an attempt to get answers,
yet the more we dig and dissect, the more those answers elude us.
*Additionally this is saying nothing about the interaction of "cells", the information on which is lost through a enough dissection.

"Mediocre"
A sublime music is playing in the background. (None of the beautiful dancers are dancing to the sublime music)
A female (not thin. doesn't look like a "dancer", average build. Fit, but not thin.)
is sitting on the floor looking up. Quickly a woman appears, beautiful in face and body and dressed extravagantly.
She dances before the girl/female and the female is awed. Another woman appears, differently attired but still beautiful and
also dancing, but dancing a different way. Soon she's almost surrounded. Beautiful women in extravagant clothes, all dancing beautifully,
but all dancing a different way.
Lights on the the dancers flash out.
Just the girl is shown she's looking forward.
She slowly looks up. The lights flash back on the dancers. The lights on the dancers flash out again.
She slowly starts to get up. The lights flash on the dancers again. The lights flash out again.
She slowly stands almost straight up (a slight crouch). The lights flash on the dancers again.
She puts one arm across her head as to shield herself (from getting hurt) from the dancers.
She stumbles. Overwhelmed by the dancers. Her step, almost dance-like, is stumbling, awkward, unsure.
She attempts to mimic the different dances of multiple dancers, and just stumbles awkwardly.
The lights flash out.
The lights flash back on. She's standing (not fulling standing- slight slouch).
She tries again a few of the dances she saw the other dancers dance, and trips, stumbles the same way.
After a pause, she cocks her head and listens...
She easily starts to flow with the music.
Her dance becomes something that is simple yet beautiful.
The lights flash out.
They flash back on and the female is shown dancing among the other dancers, but now the other
dancers have no makeup that makes them look beautiful, and no extravagant clothes. They look as simple as the female.

Random Ideas
Social, Community creation/strengthening
Summary:
A system of giving and receiving, with individuals of a population give their time and energy to create and strengthen a community and other live off of such acts (both physically and spiritually).
Goal #1:
Make a situation where people in the community can contribute to the community's health, growth (not size- internal growth), and progress, and get efficient support from the community to be able to live.
I.e.,
To make a naturally viable way for community members to contribute to the community,
free from the inefficiency and heartlessness of money (or in general, "things").
Goal #2: To help create a community, or make a community's spirit stronger.
Example: A community musician does shows within and for the community. Through a ceremonial process, community members give foodstuffs for breakfast and lunch at designated shows. At each show, the community members show their appreciation through ceremony.
The musician can travel to dinners voluntarily hosted by community members.
Requirement(s):
An infrastructure (The infrastructure is only a tool of the c.c.'s and the community to make this system
work, -Nothing more-)
Record of c.c.'s,
Record of events and c.c.'s involved (not for public usage (needs to be extremely confidential) or
awards (awards are "things") or anything- just to help show, in the future, the value of the system),
Calendar of "events",
Organizational assistance in helping "events" happen (permits, etc.).
Implementation:
Events can include any quantitative and substantial act of contributing to the community's health, growth (not size- internal growth), and progress. This can include, as examples:
Teaching/hosting a class
Helping to paint a community fence
Helping to plant a community garden
Playing music at a community concert
Participating in the contribution of art, culture to the community (plays, artwork, etc)
At each "Event", there is an "invite book" where community members can voluntarily invite community contributers to dinner. A notification (where?) that tells if a c.c. is short on invitations for the week.)
Community members donate foodstuffs for breakfast and lunch for c.c.'s, but when this is done, the c.m.'s have to be present, and
the act must be "ceremonial". The heart must be in this!
-What must NOT happen is have c.m.'s make a donation pile, and leave.
------------------------------------
Social, Support of Altruism
Idea: Distinctly recognizable sculptures that represent distinctly recognizable levels of altruism, and perhaps qualities of such (local altruism vs non-local) that higher-income individuals can place on their property which can substitute as symbols of wealth (vs things such as cars, etc).
Recognized symbols of financial altruism recognizable by the community and displayable to the community.
One natural human desire for humans (especially males) is to not look weak within their population, and if possible to look like one of the strongest, or the strongest. Humans many times do this through the display of wealth.
-I have this idea elaborated on in one of my notepads.

Recognition of positive contribution within a community puts power in the hands of those doing good
Recognition is powerful. Recognition gives power.
Silence in the face of positive contribution is just that
When people/groups know that meaningful recognition (recognition, not reward) is available,
this gives them significant power within the community to do good
If you have a truly interconnected community

with an adult "landscape" - Everyone is adults and they interact (including talk) in an adult manner-
That's the hook- what makes it attractive enough to keep watching and watch the "next" episode.
Needs to always have a certain edgieness to it- it can never be "wishy-washy-let's-love-one-another"

From plants vs zombies: "Courage is easy; dedication costs extra"

Land, Superman, Land
not rlly a bs, but a note-
Non-ego-based, unconditional love always has to come first (before being in-love, true love, etc)
Those that see "I don't know" as a starting point. Those that se "I don't know" as an end.
Success belongs to those that see "I don't know" as a starting point, rather than an end.
Sometimes we treat "I don't know" as an end. Success comes from treating "I don't know" as a starting point.
Some treat "I don't know" as an end. Success belongs to those that treat "I don't know" as a starting point.

Movies using a high-tech matrixy feel / editing to movies set before the 1900's- acting as if, for instance, the telegraph, is amazing
(video following of the signals going through the wire).
-would prob be too expensive without the popularity it would need to be viable. Would just be neat.
A service for people which forces them to stop- to wait.
Based on a ferry ride or something like it. In today's world a service which specifically gives people "stop time" with no distractions.

A world without hugs, is a cruel world indeed

spend all my time thinking about other people. I have to focus on myself; but also not focus on myself, and instead focus on
other people. It's all so clear now."

Social-
-------------
"Eat the Music"
Communal music- Periodic gatherings featuring participation in creation of music
and dancing for Community Pods (Designated community sizes- (idea based off of Community-Art)).
"Leave your ego at the door, open up, and feed off the music".
("What you gain from this experience is entirely up to you")
House Rules- No swearing, no inappropriate touching, no fighting, no drugs / alcohol.
A gathering "Captain"- a drummer that is in charge of the tempo, and
core step of the music (but is open to moving w/ the feel of the community gatherings' spirit.
Orginization has a "Mother" that is in charge of everything but the music "tempo".
"Mother" and "Captain"
Security bouncers that ensure safety.
News Program-
-----------------
Great Idea-
If you did have a news-like program- have your life audit idea used as a segment
(individuals volunteer (to have their energy/time audited per what they truly care about)
as part of a news segment).
Vidoe-

Boy sitting in sofa chair. Soft ambiance. Book of Life (labeled "Life") is put in his lap. He is somewhat trepidatious and doesn't
initially open the book.
A father figure comes up behind him and puts his hand on his shoulder in a reassuring way. He looks up, then looks back at the book
and opens it.
As he turns pages he sees challenges in his life.
Animation w/ happily tempoed music- the progression from farms and communities to a souless communal existence from profit, corporations,

Video-
Individual on a violent and terrible roller coaster ride says "let me OFF!" "I just want the ride to end. Make it stop"
A look to the side. Through a difficult pathway the rider can get on a different roller coaster.
Illustrate the idea of Jumping off of the ride (or other) as ending one's life vs. getting on a different ride (changing).
Game-
World of Zombies (part of a series of mmorpg apocolypse games)
MMORPG using a FPS view, with horror climactics (heart-beat racing, scary places and noises, scary music if you're
outside at night, zombie scariness, etc)
Basically the premise of the game is that each game is a mystery. You don't know where you'll start, you don't know what you'll have
around you to use, you don't know where other people are. You won't know if those other people are safe or dangerous (the goal of the
game is to survive, and maybe, neutralize the zombie threat, and maybe, eventually find a cure.).
The players that have survived the longest are displayed in a "top 10 list".
MMORPG, by-in-large FPS, but with heavy world interactivity (using actions to do things other than shoot/fight).
Each server has a time line. Each server is a new world. Each world starts at Time 0 - outbreak (the infection has gotten out of control
and the zombie population is growing at an exponential rate.
Each world starts with the player being near a t.v. Every t.v. has a set message. (this is like the intro to every world beginning).
Every player is placed at a random place within their region's world (Rural, suburban, city).
Every player has realistic basic human needs- specifically food and water.

The Purpose of justice
Eternal there is a question:
What will be the nature of the game?
Justice says:
The game will work within a set of parameters, (upholding certain values such as fairness, kindness, courage
that fosters progress, growth, evolution.)
Forever there will be actions, or planned actions that attempt to change the parameters of the game, (changing what values reign supreme,
such as selfishness, intimidation, fear, and cowardice, which hinder progress, growth, and evolution.)
-----------------------
... It creates an aura of negativity, when everything's about punishment. The more punishment around that there is, the greater
the aura of negativity.
This plus above (on justice) --- justice shouldn't be about punishment. Justice should JUST be about setting the parameters
of the game. NOT deterence through punishment. This is like trying to make a teacher's role include one of parenting. Teachers
are there to teach, not to try to keep the kids "in-line", or "take care of them".
--------------------
A video or movie
Showing that the current kindness of people (and other characteristics perhaps) comes from past events.
Through flashbacks.
A Man being kind to another because of all the suffering he had gone through in his past.
Video or movie based upon continual flashbacks
--------------------
Video
God paints the world. has a mis-brush stroke and from it comes humans "whoops" "oh well, we'll keep it"
--------------------
Round Table discussions Idea (me round-tabling with myself)
Topics: Abortion and its rights, pro and against
War vs Christianity
Science and ideologies- Beliefs on existence
(what I want this one to be is confronting the scientific religion- "everything that is not supported by science does not exist)
----------------------
Video- animated or real-life
A person, representing Capitalism, takes art (within the art is humanity's soul)
and spreads/smears it as thin as possible, to where humanity's soul is lost. Keeps spreading. The sheen crystalizes and breaks
with the slightest disturbance.

Represent the number Pi as musical notes, and also as a landscape that a person travels through.

(video following of the signals going through the wire).
-would prob be too expensive without the popularity it would need to be viable. Would just be neat.
A service for people which forces them to stop- to wait.
Based on a ferry ride or something like it. In today's world a service which specifically gives people "stop time" with no distractions.
B.S.
For a parent, to act is to teach
A world without hugs, is a cruel world indeed
From Walk Hard, The Dewey Cox Story
"I've learned that I can't spend all my time thinking about [myself], and I've also learned I need to love [myself]. I can't
spend all my time thinking about other people. I have to focus on myself; but also not focus on myself, and instead focus on
other people. It's all so clear now."
Any age, any day, you can begin to live
Social-
-------------
"Eat the Music"
Communal music- Periodic gatherings featuring participation in creation of music
and dancing for Community Pods (Designated community sizes- (idea based off of Community-Art)).
"Leave your ego at the door, open up, and feed off the music".
("What you gain from this experience is entirely up to you")
House Rules- No swearing, no inappropriate touching, no fighting, no drugs / alcohol.
A gathering "Captain"- a drummer that is in charge of the tempo, and
core step of the music (but is open to moving w/ the feel of the community gatherings' spirit.
Orginization has a "Mother" that is in charge of everything but the music "tempo".
"Mother" and "Captain"
Security bouncers that ensure safety.
News Program-
-----------------
Great Idea-
If you did have a news-like program- have your life audit idea used as a segment
(individuals volunteer (to have their energy/time audited per what they truly care about)
as part of a news segment).
Vidoe-
-------------
Boy sitting in sofa chair. Soft ambiance. Book of Life (labeled "Life") is put in his lap. He is somewhat trepidatious and doesn't
initially open the book.
A father figure comes up behind him and puts his hand on his shoulder in a reassuring way. He looks up, then looks back at the book
and opens it.
As he turns pages he sees challenges in his life.
Animation w/ happily tempoed music- the progression from farms and communities to a souless communal existence from profit, corporations,
and movement of pple
Video-
Individual on a violent and terrible roller coaster ride says "let me OFF!" "I just want the ride to end. Make it stop"
A look to the side. Through a difficult pathway the rider can get on a different roller coaster.
Illustrate the idea of Jumping off of the ride (or other) as ending one's life vs. getting on a different ride (changing).
Game-
World of Zombies (part of a series of mmorpg apocolypse games)
MMORPG using a FPS view, with horror climactics (heart-beat racing, scary places and noises, scary music if you're
outside at night, zombie scariness, etc)
Basically the premise of the game is that each game is a mystery. You don't know where you'll start, you don't know what you'll have
around you to use, you don't know where other people are. You won't know if those other people are safe or dangerous (the goal of the
game is to survive, and maybe, neutralize the zombie threat, and maybe, eventually find a cure.).

Using language-learning programs to preserve native languages before they disappear
That's about it. I think the stat is one language goes extinct every 14 days. So the creation and implementation of a program that can learn languages before we lose them forever.

Art Series - Time, the human race, nature
Playing with video speed and the reality of humanity/everything else, for us, existing at just this speed of time. To speed time up and down artisticaly to see better what we and the world around us is.
Showing that we need not just see ourselves in this time speed. To speed up time to show crowds highly blurred- as true flowing energy/other. To slow down time greatly- what do we have then? To make a series regarding this area of conceptualism.
art piece video short
Tubers going down a slow creek/river
A simple but profound representation of relationships.
A short looking down on a creek / small river. Two people on tubes float near eachother then lash together. They are kind to eachother, ?(showing non-ego, unconditional love)?, and concise. Eventually the lashing breaks and one floats away while the other is still shown floating down stream.

AC Books / Other Art
Story of a Nation
A nation gifted, through technology, through innovation, with much more available time and energy.
The nation uses this excess for greater power, more control over the world, more money, more things
The people reinvest this excess, continue to work just as hard, for more things, a greater socio-economic position.
The nation invests this excess in the military; in greater control of the world, of its resources.
All this placed against the idea of investing this excess into love.
Make an AC Book out of this, and perhaps art

Bumper Stickers
(Not really a bump sticker, but whatever)
When you use evil in response to hurt, or evil, you start, or perpetuate the cycle of evil- you become part of the cycle.
When you use love, true love, in response to hurt, or evil, you do not start the cycle, or you stand a good chance of curing it- of stopping it.
Every Moment Precious
Many times, being unselfish means asking for help
On the value of small pieces of quality living / time--
Time is like things.
The amount of time is insignificant compared to the quality.
When looking on the past, present, future, be not overly concerned with amount of time spent doing a thing. Let this not keep you from doing it. It is the QUALITY that is important.
E.g., 10 minutes of fishing with your son every day can be a huge influence in his life.
If kids don't have positive ways to use their energy, they will use negative ways
Dare to truly live
True failure only comes in quitting
The purpose of Life is to give Love

My Wishes for Humanity
I have 2 wishes for humanity:
Wish #1
I wish that humanity becomes better able to think outside of its "boxes" of ego, national identity, and individual generations.
But specifically regarding individual generations:
That we could move beyond... to see ourselves, as we've been for so long, as blips in time... like beats or notes of a grand music. Stretching behind us and stretching before us are countless lives of humans. I think it is time we can look on our existence as a species with a wider perspective- not seeing each generation individually, but seeing the expanse of individual and generational existences as a music. So if we can see ourselves as notes in a grand music, we can ask how we would like the music to be; how we would like it to sound.
Wish #2
That we can be better aware and caring of life beyond our species. That we can move away from the selfish perspective of a human-species egotism. Slowly, the Western, Christian-based ideal that animals have no feeling- no sense of pain, of stress, and no emotion, is breaking down through research. I wish that we can just discard the ideal that we are so much removed and better from the living world around us, and act as if we are a part of it; that we act with compassion not only with other humans, but with all living things, to the best of our ability.

Idea:
Proper disciplining is a labor of love
Having courage is just the beginning
If you don’t play the game, you can’t hope to learn (and get better)
Life is
Pulled forward by beauty, pushed back by fear
Balance your habits against your fear
When there’s just no hope- This is the most important time for hope
Video games are like hamster wheels for humans
Difficult, not so bad
Easy, not so good
There is no greater failure than not trying
The world is an invitation to explore
A life controlled by fear, is a life steeped in tragedy
