" Yesterday i was clever i wanted to change the world, today I am wise so I'm changing myself. "

[klahowya]

"Which is a lot to change, for people who havent even lived indepentently yet"
SO silky smooth

[harkyo]

Morale of the story: don't be an activist. Just be active.

[jdg]

I always question Activists in their rallies what have they accomplished personally. And none of them seemed to have answered me yet.

[fink-it]

YES! We have a "You Can Change the World" poster at school. It erks me everytime I pass it. What kind of pressure are we putting on young children? Kids that can't even take care of themselves? Essentially telling them that grownups are useless and kids have to take responsibility for everything. How horrific.

Amen! In California my son's 1st grade teacher was celebrating activists and encouraging more activism to my son's class. They were 6-7 years old! At least teach them the state capitals of the US before teaching them the US should be hated. It was really unbelievable for me to hear that during the pandemic.

[Macklyn]

I wish I could articulate ideas like this man. He is absolutely wonderful.

[seanburns]

One thousand activists is worth one plumber.

[Sobek]

Listening to you since 2015, you are one of the most incredible human beings that has ever existed...

[bewell]

It also begs of our children: "Identify your enemies" before even building an understanding and network of builders and constructive problem solvers.

[donrahstar]

To change yourself is to change the world. Be accountable.

[jennifercrocker]

I love how he can get around all the BS and describe what the real problem is that they are trying to avoid

[mahnamahna]

I've seen a strange combination of apathy (can't educate themselves on subject (too "triggering"))
and narcissistic advocates/control freaks.

[rjj-]

Narcissists only look at what they see as problems outside of themselves. They never look to see the problems inside themselves. Anyone who truly wants to see a better world will start by recognizing and then fixing the problems within themselves. Once you are as positive, hopeful, and encouraging as you can possibly be, your shining light will radiate throughout the world. And if each individual can do that, then I suspect the whole world will be a better place.

"There's no better pathway to self-realization and the ennoblement of being than to pause at the highest good that you can conceive of and commit yourself to it." ~Jordan Peterson

I am a postgraduate student pursuing a Master's program of Arts in the English language and I am using Dr. Peterson's book, 12 Rules for life as one of my secondary texts of reference... To write my final project dissertation. Thank you very much for your immense contributions! God blessed you!

[Kitiwake]

Describes activists as prideful narcissists advocating for the oppressed without authority.

100% best description of an activist ever.

[mikasasukasa]

That last part is very important. It's all about arrogance, these types of people think they know better than you and are under falsehoods that they think they have it figured out.

[Hilltopperpete]

Activism is not necessarily bad, the problem is that today it’s almost always misplaced, because so much modern activism is funded by the very people who are directly responsible for the issues.

I'm 58. I changed the world almost 40 years ago. I'm a Songwriter. My songs have been affecting other people's lives for decades. I'm not famous and I never made a dime. But people all over the world sing my words every day. Whatever.
