If you're not in the mood to think, move along…
I stopped at the post by +Emilio Boronali originally just to listen to John Lennon singing Revolution. I like the song and saw the YouTube video just begging me to press play. While it was playing, I wondered why he posted it and in cart-before-the-horse fashion read his post. Very thought provoking. I encourage you to read and digest it, and comment on his original thread; I'm not looking to steal his thunder, just to share his words.

Lets talk true for a while … [Oh my Gawd Yet an Other Social Experiment!]
We are not the X or Y or Z Generation,
We are not the Post-industrial Generation,
We are not the transhumanist Generation,
We are not the Internet Generation,We are the Talkative Generation… We behave and act nonstop by words and even by pics trying desperately to find any needless performativity into our statements.
We are addicted to spread the news about what is wrong in our world and think that by revealing what is supposedly behind the curtain, we'll help it change. But we are wrong.
We pour sometimes some cuteness in our expression to help us keep on believing in hope and share the fact that everything is not wasted. But we are wrong.
We see consumption as a dead-end but we rush for the next smartphone. We are revolted by sweatshops and children work but we don't mind wearing clothes labeled 'Made in China'. We all agree on ' bio (logical) food' but we keep on stopping by the next " M " drive-in.
We like to gargle around that "The Medium is The Message" but we all know that we as a medium are at the end filled with void. So the message – our message – can't last more than the time needed to type it and that "retweet" it won't give it any duration…
So just for a minute, can you think and tell what you genuinely do to make your world a better place ?
And don't serve me the "I turn the water off while brushing my teeth" because it is a total bullshit and deep inside of you : you know it!
