"Thrive" is amazing must watch!

Claiming that videos like this don't have any impact, while arguing against several people in this thread who directly state that it actually did have an impact on them seems like flat-out denial to me.

I don't think anyone is denying that it stirs the consciousness.

Ultimately this issue comes down to responsibility. I don't have a problem with people wanting to address some of the over-reaching principles of control and manipulation. However, when one does not take the responsibility to address the other side of the equation (the choices we have all made on the personal level), we only add to the concepts of separation by not addressing the root issues. I personally spent several years mulling over conspiracy without accomplishing anything, and its because all the information had me focusing on all the issues outside of myself.

Videos like this are fine, only if they spend more time expanding on how we personally let the manipulation get out of hand. It should be the dominant part of the discussion, because that's where the real change occurs. Otherwise it's irresponsible and lacks honesty.

Let's not forget we're dealing with 75,000 years of evolution up until now, and here we are as the harvest is occurring. It is our responsibility to be honest and critical of information like this, so we can point the conversation in the correct direction, and truly help people make the correct choices.

Let's acknowledge that truthfully, there will be people who will watch this and spend years searching outside of themselves. I wish someone had pointed me in the right direction.

"Interesting video, BUT.." needs to be our attitude. The conversation will not turn inward unless we bring it up every step of the way.
