Video, Living in the Present

A "happy beaty" music as background.


Features a joker-type character labeled "Being" on one side and "Living" on the other dancing about and being present around another person.  The other person is one go-go-going in "modern life", doing whatever, especially walking.


Expansion:  The joker dancing about people; start with the man walking*;  Then the joker dancing about and with a happy female.  The joker, dancing, approaches a person and they run, hiding their head.

(Needs further addition.)




*Holding at one point, a briefcase that is a huge weight.

Video, Possible Animation, Could be made into a simple flash game

Relatively fun music (a step rhythm).

     A person* is walking down an asphalt or sidewalky path, periodically quickly surmounting challenges.  Along the path are "protesters"- some are holding signs and saying things intended to impede and destroy the walker- and it's obvious that these statements/other are from the "mind" - others are saying postitive, supportive things**.

     The person at first pulling random protesters to walk behind him/her.  The "negative" protesters in the group throw things between the person's legs and lasso and pull the person back.  The "positive" protesters help the person by giving them water, giving them boosts over some challenges, and pushing them (not too hard) from behind.

     The person has more "negative" protesters the first go and doesn't make t through the first challenge; just step walks in place.  Reset/  The next go the person grabs a 50/50 ratio;  makes it past the first challenge, and is stopped at the 2nd.  Reset/  This time the person picks more "positive" protesters and makes it very far but eventually the "positives" can't quite get the person over/through a challenge.  The person backs up and brings in more "positives", and kicks out some primary "negatives" and the new group practically throws the person over that challenge and others.


-Challenges are labeled (somewhat) and sets of "protesters" correspond (somewhat) to the challenges.

*The person always has a pleasant, happy, peaceful expression.

** Some examples of "Positives" and "Negativity":  Love, Humility, The true value of Enlightened Altruism,
                                                                              Ego, Pride, Materialism.

Note:  Fear never is always present

Video, Animation

Using simple animation, illustrate the idea that, in the theory of "to be happiest, give to others", one must follow a sequence.  Step 1 is take care of oneself (make and keep oneself happy and healthy), Step 2 is care for others.  Some skip Step 1, going straight to Step 2, messing up themselves, and overall not giving the net amount and quality of contribution that they could have.



Note:

Some children see a truly happy parent giving so much that, without proper instruction (that the parent has first gone through significant work as part of Step 1), they wrongly learn that they should disregard themselves developmentally, give to others, and that this is will, in the long-term, provide happiness.

Some parents simply teach that a person should disregard themselves totally (developmentally and in The Present) and use giving as the means to happiness.

Video, Comedy, Art

   A collection of short videos where "The Rock" tries to do things, which he can't do well because he's too big (e.g., sweeping the floor of a small bathroom), with him commenting on how difficult or impossible it is.  While he's trying to do these things, smaller people laugh at him and point.  At the end of each video, "The Rock" growls at the smaller people and they run away.

Product, Design

A design that makes for ultra-lightweight products/building blocks.

   The basic design is a light-weight, sturdy but flexible framework as the "bones, with honeycombed material surrounding and connecting to the framework to create the "bulk" of the main "shape" of the product.  The honeycombs must be filled with helium.

   Idea for production:  A massive 3-d printer housed in a sealed "room" filled with helium.  The printer uses neoprene rubber as its ink, and prints both the honeycombed structure and the "bones" of the product.  The honeycombs have relatively very thin walls.  The end product is sealed within and without (inner and outer "walls") with a relatively thicker layer of neoprene.

Video, Animation

     Cartoony animation featuring a teacher in school, labeled Life, and students belonging to different grade levels.  Some students move between grade levels.

     Students are tested in each "grade" level.  Each test is labeled "Benchmark X,Y,Z, etc".  Passing the test is obvious to the viewer of the video.  Some students pass at the first try, others fail one or more times; still others continually fail.  Every time a student fails, Life tries to show the student what they did wrong.  Some students listen and change their ways, while others pay no attention to Life's instruction and keep failing.

The benchmarks of successful living are flawed in the West

Life sucks when all the right moves are uncomfortable.

Not necessarily in this order, but,
Give me a group
Give me love for my group
And give me a way to contribute to my group
and I will live.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  If life keeps giving you lemons, you're probably ordering lemons and don't know it.

Apparently we want just enough science to know when we're dying,
But not so much science as to do anything about it.

Reality is usually a (selective spattering) from opposite sides of an ideological spectrum

Capitalism is a way to corrupt the Spirit of Contribution

Video, Social, Materialism

     Your average older american white male stands, overlooking an expanse of a "deserted" commercial district.  The man is dressed in traditional native american garb and speaks with an accented voice of a traditional native american.

     The man's monologue speaks of the weakness of his people with materialism; taking from them their souls, potential, and lives.  This monologue mirrors one spoken by a true native american discussing the affect of alcoholism on his people.

Product, Solar Energy

Roofing shingles that dual as cheap solar energy tiles.

   Circuits for the "shingles" are completed with specially coated nails that are driven through the shingles like normal roofing nails.  Under the face of the roof, the ends of the nails are linked together (positive with positive, negative with negative) to form the system.
