"Thrive" is amazing must watch!

For me, it is vital to keep envisioning, and working toward with whatever small steps possible, the world I want to live in.

That's just it. Where's the baby. We can say whatever is possible to say, attempting to steer society in any direction our unbalanced prejudice wants with utter disregard for honesty and practicality. The means will always justify the ends if ego gets what it wants. If the emotional attachments to spiritual themes/hopes ('the baby') are stimulated enough by vague ideas, music, buzzwords, mystical talk, etc. people will endorse and propagate all manner of 'evidence' used to support them. That portrayal of evidence, the victim-oriented conspiracy theories, the tacit innuendo, the transcendental framing is the 'bathwater'.

One can present vision without the "oh yeah, but we can't do it because we are blinded to the obvious" or "can't do it because we are being suppressed" The former plays upon the la-la land, seeing-shapes-in-clouds imagination and the realm of possibilities (inherently endless), the latter plays upon rampant victim mindset. Combine the two presentation styles, and it looks like you've actually offered something workable (which is what is being claimed). The show is basically unconscious, self-referential thinking - it is an attempt to portray the inner dynamic - along with "what the bleep" and similar green-vMeme "magical thinking" movies. The repressed, libido filled, numinous, inner themes are projected, symbolically, as certain outward technologies and associated science discoveries are 'highjacked' to support viability and possibility. So the transcendent associations are made (as above, so below), accepted, and something is made strangely compelling to a certain audience who crave a peek at that aspect of themselves. That's all there is.
