Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people..
Hello! Our technology protects us from such incidents. If there were to ever be a power cut, the wind speed goes down gradually allowing the flyer to exit safely from the door at the bottom by the safety net.
@@davidneuberth3734 150$ an hour? I'd love to see that tunnel! Even cheap tunnels in Russia are still upwards of $300 an hour. Regular tunnels are more like $500-800 an hour. The only way to fly cheaper is to NOT fly solo and split the cost with multiple flyers.
Ok I have a new thing on my bucket list

What if the power goes out mid jump???

Imagine electricity going off
not an issue. Fans will slowly wind down so you'll just gently glide towards the ground.
@@MassisPipes ahhahahaha, what if a person is way up
@@forvainee makes no difference.
So much fun
Does this give you insights on lottery pingpong balls?
Lemme just have a sip of tea in there

Do they jump into dead air?
This is dope
Wow is that trusting technology. That's crazy. Lol
Price?????
I really loved it. How much does it cost for the entire setup??
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Like 50$ for 2 min. As you get better and you can fly solo it will be cheaper like 1 hour for 150$
