"Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”
Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others."
~ Timothy Leary

This movie is gaining popularity among Christians in the U.S. and yes I have seen it.
I think of myself as a left leaning Christian and I wish I could say that Christianity played positive role in the radical movements of the late 60’s that gave our country so much progress. I wish it was possible to “reclaim” Christianity for the left.
To some extent I do think that is possible.
However, I was disappointed to find that they “strait washed” a character in this movie who in real life was a bisexual man who died of AIDS. I guess Christian cinema has a long way to go with homophobia 😞
I know the “hippies” were mostly rich, white, college educated Berkeley students who did a lot of gentrification and culture appropriation, but there WAS a movement that was actually radically against poverty, prejudice, pollution, war, and authoritarianism.
This movie is good if you are into the idea of a hippie Jesus. If you want to have a connection between Christianity and radical activism I would suggest looking into Black southern church history. If you want to learn about hippie history, I would watch “trial of the Chicago 7”
The portrayal of drug use in this movie is surprisingly progressive for what I could have been IMO. It portrays taking ecstasy at a concert as genuinely fun, harmless, and even a sweet moment between a young couple! ❤️ it is also genuinely sympathetic to people with drug addiction and doesn’t stigmatize it IMO
Idk this just ended up being a weird tangent 😅

I think it's important to remember that the vast majority of human existence does not take place on the internet or through a phone screen. "But it sure seems like it does" when? When you are on the internet or staring at your phone? "But everyone says it does" and who says that? The people on the internet? Next time you are offline, even very briefly (driving, grocery shopping, whatever), try being aware in those moments and not just drifting around in a half-asleep pause between internet sessions, and then tell me where you think the world is.

indeed my most advanced and controversial album yet, with topics ranging from social media normalcies and manipulations, hyperindividualism, psychedelic enlightenment, etc. this album is centered around the “cybernetic” conception and confusion of life. it is an experience/experiment. “Cyber Chaos” 13 track album, faces the digital age of tyranny. -meeko
its relevancy has never been more potent.
