How social experiments will work?

“They can’t take that away from me” — George Gershwin

Bright reader,

The silence you keep won’t make a difference in the world. Alright?

However, the way you dress and sip your tea… can.

Follow us…

Future Not Guaranteed.

The society we live in today is still shaped by the traditional man. Your grandfather or grand-grandfather.

We know what to expect from them.

This working hard man learned that they can make a difference for their family by working hard and complaining less. Men of virtue?

They were the ones that didn’t have time to complain… They would prefer to act – work hard… build the country.

As a result, their lives are facts oriented, they don’t say they want to change. They change. Because sometimes change can be just a chance… not a sane choice…

They don’t let everyone know that their new normal has changed, they just continue being their new versions… why saying?

More the like, people that need to see it, will sooner or later notice it.

Like your grandpa?

Then, they can change if they want to. It’s always a matter of choice, not a chance.

But now history could change…

Imagine if you ask these truly brave people for advice, they are most likely to say…

– Work hard, kid.

Or the latter…

– Take care of your family and work hard, kid.

The choices are always yours… and the consequences could be ours…

That’s what matters.

Is that good advice?

Is the world changing or is it just the men that are trying to discover their mind limits?

Asking a lot of questions… saying more than it creates… consuming more than it produces… creating new empty markets ideas, terms, and features that have little or no value… overthinking… But in the end, staying at home shuffling on social media and complaining about the next-door neighbor.

Perhaps doing some “healthy online activism”… sometimes a new startup venture to earn millions without working, sorry, billions… or a new way to dress to impress – many styles, but no dress code – (because the focus is getting your attention for nothing)… being famous, followed by an online celebrity, dream to be a celebrity, not a philosopher.

Dinner Invitation

Then imagine in the future…you go out for dinner and the sign says:

– NOT ALLOWED*

Couples are not allowed, it’s socially incorrect. You should stay home.

…the problem with social experiments is that we don’t know where they will take us… and where it will end…

The world can be completely different.

The streets you see today, also, why?

Because the old wise grandpa is not in charge anymore, we can’t really predict what the new kind of thinkers elected by popular opinion will be like.

Most people don’t get what lies inside the head of a social experiment politician… opinion maker…or kid like Grandpa used to say….

Many days from now, society will be shaped by a new kind of kid.

Will we miss the good old advice? We don’t really know…

Let’s see.

This man and woman will be ruling the rules for society, new experiments…

• The Wrong Way Project – What about a new road that doesn’t take you very far, but is just a way of chilling out from the traffic… actually the project will be an end road, for the people that want to chill out and stop to play some music… of course, the government will pay for its experiment (as us – the people).

• The Bright Parks – What about a new type of Park monument, representing the beauty of what we are not likely to show on the streets?

• The Free Avenue – Where you can go out to take some wind and find new undressed folks alike – or “a real community”?

• or The Fake ID Allowed Project… the list can go on and on…

Perhaps that could be some of the projects, it could be worse… but we doubted. We are just wondering how far these experiments could go…

Right or wrong… we have some doubts…

Are we missing something important with all this buzz? Our minds?

Well, perhaps we all could do the same and create a “new bright future” by investing in ESG projects or ESG stocks, or getting an ESG stamp in the business we work for… stamping it at our newest electric “vehicle”… or actually watching an ESG video certification course to spread the wrong idea to our folks… Is it guaranteed?

Perhaps it’s just a lie that no one seems to be worried about, but still, we have some questions…

Because we don’t know where it will end up! We never know!

What’s the matter? What could possibly go wrong?

It may be very weird to see a couple having dinner together in a restaurant because it can be unfamiliar in a few years…we don’t know what will the politics be like, do you? To have old-fashioned people doing this kind of traditional old-like thing like being normal as our grandpas used to…

Perhaps not.

Ethics?

Rafaela – Julho 7, 2023

O que é ética? Ela vem sendo utilizada atualmente? A inteligência artificial é ética? Faça o download de suas fotos e você receberá uma versão sua incrível, maravilhosa, e é claro, ficaremos com os seus dados, suas informações, ou você pensou ser apenas para divertimento? Não sejamos tolos, tudo aquilo que estamos absorvendo tem um preço. Até uma nova rede social, o que você perderá se passar mais tempo diante das telas? Sua vida talvez? O tempo com a família, esportes? Alimentação saudável? Seu precioso sono.

Talvez tudo pareça um grande teatro, mas se formos sabedores de como podemos conduzir toda essa tecnologia, sairemos vencedores mais uma vez. Afinal guerras visíveis e invisíveis são criadas pelo homem, que tedioso do seu caminho cria cada vez mais obstáculos para emaranhar-se e envolver os companheiros de caminhada nesta narrativa.

“A transformação do mundo é provocada pela transformação de si mesmo, porque o ego é o produto e uma parte do processo total da existência humana. Para haver transformação, o autoconhecimento é essencial; sem saber o que você é não há base para um pensamento correto, e sem conhecer a si mesmo não pode haver transformação. O indivíduo precisa se conhecer como ele é, não como deseja ser, pois é meramente um ideal e, por isso, fictício, irreal; só esse o que pode ser transformado, não aquele que você deseja ser. Conhecer-se como se é requer uma mente extraordinariamente alerta, porque o que está constantemente sofrendo transformações, mudanças: e para segui-lo depressa a mente não deve estar presa a nenhum dogma ou crença particular, a nenhum padrão de ação. Se você quiser seguir qualquer coisa, não é bom estar preso. Para conhecer a si mesmo é necessário ter consciência, uma extraordinária atividade da mente em que há a liberdade de todas as crenças, de toda idealização, porque as crenças e os ideais só lhe proporcionam uma cor, pervertendo a verdadeira percepção. Se quiser saber o que você é, não pode imaginar ou acreditar em algo que você não é. Se eu sou ganancioso, invejoso, violento, o simples fato de ter um ideal de não violência, de não ganância, é de pouco valor. O entendimento do que você é — seja feio ou bonito, malvado ou maligno —, sem distorção, é o início da virtude. A virtude é essencial, pois ela proporciona liberdade.” — J. Krishnamurti

Continua…
