Children are basically unique biological pure angels that become desecrated or molded in one way or another and then they become human adults, they become a part of the puzzle
For starters, Bill wasn't a father, so you're getting parenting advice from someone who never had any children. Second, the individual was a blatant misogynist who held a deep dislike for women. Working-class women, mothers, small children, and the elderly were generally the brunt of his jokes. That's just creepy and very unsettling. I would never put my trust in someone like this for sound advice.

Literally EVERYTHING is about Consciousness evolution. & that really does equate to us making choices out of Love instead of Fear. As Love/cooperation/empathy etc. is the ONLY path to an "Optimal Configuration". This is true of ANY social system, especially for a planet full of individuals. BH was spot on.
It is true that selflessness/goodness is a part of any optimal society, but so is selfishness/evil since too much of anything promotes homogenous stasis. The same is true of order versus chaos.
@@yangxiaolong1392 yes, balance is always in the equation. & one reason I think the ideas hold is that evolution is open ended, so we will NEVER be "done". & with like a reincarnation in your model, you could always be busy helping the "newer souls", so to speak. & yes potential for entropy, randomness/order is at the core of mind/existence itself as well as the "physical".
'tis ironic that we as a culture focus solely on fear-based consciousness and then wonder why we have big pharma making a killing on anxiety reducers... Simplistically speaking, anxiety is just anticipated fear.

Nah Bill hicks is on another level he's talking about life being a journey and we reincarnated. Over and over. He talks about exploring space inner and outer.

I was fortunate to see Bill perform live in London, a couple of years before he left this Earth. His show coincided with the LA riots, which started whilst his flight was in the air. Somehow he made that whole scenario both thoughtful and hilarious. I like to think he planted the seed of my understanding of life just being a ride 🎉 Bill, I’m sure you’re having a riot brother ❤
In order to take the money (power, resources) from those who are using it for benefit themselves people got to make an struggle, a revolution, it can be done, it should be done, but we got to be aware how to do it. In this struggle for power people have no other weapon but colective organisation. It's not just a matter of individual choice.
Its troubling how simple of an idea that is. Yet we as a species can't/won't execute it.. I believe one day the world can be at peace. So long as this kind of idealism can exist.
It always feels good to think that we have a simple answer to such big and complex problems. It’s just not that easy. Don’t get me wrong. We should always be focused on how to make things better. It’s more important to remember that we live in reality where we have flaws and faults. Nothing will ever be perfect.
This Is Exactly What I Have Been Saying With My Quote! "Life Is Like A Roller Coaster, It Has Ups & Downs To Keep The Momentum Going, So You Have To Have Faith That You Will Be Okay In The End In Order To Enjoy The Ride"
That's why we are always reminded after a big spiritual or psychedelic experience to play and have fun. By doing so, you are doing life/the universe ect.. a big favor that by being yourself and playing you are creating minimal resistance to the natural flow of creation. Everything else, Ego, Separation and all that comes with ect.. are all illusory human concepts that are merely a projection of our personalized and collective consciousness that only complicates and stops life from blooming and thriving to its fullest potential thus the popular BORG Term shoes its head once again: Resistance is Futile. AKA By just Being, Life Becomes. - The Paradox of life.
As much as I truly agree in the idea of such an utopian world, love doesn't eradicate evil or provide protection from it. In order to have love, evil must exist. A shadow can only exist in the presence of light. Evil exists and evil breeds envy and contempt for the Noble man.
the problem is that even if every country agreed to NOT put any money into defense spending and do this charity instead, at least one or 2 (Korea) would still buy bigger guns behind everyone's backs and then there would be a war while everyone else is weak and none of us would be going to space because we would be scrambling to build a defense against this world threat.
There still be national security. The diference was that it was world Wide. Ir alot of mindsets Change it Will create pressure and influence others to change
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} ...dear makers of this...thanx so much....IF anything could be powerful that needed told in new ways...it IS this......much love...!!!....enjoy the ride..!
One of the great truths of life is that we want things that are part-and-parcel of diametrically opposed forces. In so wanting, we must accept balance as part of our lives. Those who walk the lines between order and chaos, love and fear do so on a knife-edge. That said, they are all the stronger for it.
The message I got from this is to simply choose love over fear... but anyone could’ve guessed that.. why would I want to choose love over fear though? If you were a king would you rather be loved or feared by your people? I wanna hear the disadvantages over the other
It might be. To the best of my knowledge, we really are just energy condensed (E = mc^2). What I find crazy is that energy itself is feeling, or has invented pain. Imagine inventing your own feelings that bother you? I always felt suicide was aspects of the universe itself not liking it's current state. Since, it is claimed energy cannot be created or destroyed, is this forever in some capacity. Maybe the universe is sick of existing.

Thanks for this. I've always been a huge fan of this closing. Just a coincidence that I end up here 30 years to the day after he died?
You're seriously comparing that POS globalist anthem to Bill Hicks' best monologue?!
You are missing the point of either, or both.
Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don't know one child with a full time job and children. - Bill Hicks
Children are basically unique biological pure angels that become desecrated or molded in one way or another and then they become human adults, they become a part of the puzzle
Dumb and overly romantic argument
Does anyone get the satire?
Just shows how stupid this guy really is.
U never herd of a china sweat shop then?
Bill Hicks is a father figure to millions, in so far as his life advice and points of view transcend comedy and becomes fatherly wisdom.
So true
Well said!
For starters, Bill wasn't a father, so you're getting parenting advice from someone who never had any children. Second, the individual was a blatant misogynist who held a deep dislike for women.

Love this, beautifully illustrated and animated.
Beautiful, thank you.
Yes!! Thank you, thank you thank you!

I love you for this. No homo.
Wow
This is Bill's legacy and it's a beautiful gift to us mortals.
The most amazing two minutes on UA-cam .. I love it :)
This bit still haunts me. It's so profound and so startling.

You guys posted this on my birthday last year. I love Bill Hicks and a big fan of ya'll. Wild.
Bill Hicks and George Carlin have so much material that I would love to see After Skool add his artistic genius to.
My son is named Bill Hicks, after this legend. He's only 5yrs old and a little asshole right now, but the name lives on, and that's what matters.
So much wisdom here.
Absolutely beautiful
Great job After Skool :)
I read great job after school
Its troubling how simple of an idea that is. Yet we as a species can't/won't execute it.. I believe one day the world can be at peace. So long as this kind of idealism can exist.

He's right the choice is between fear and love.
not as simple, but will be in the next generation.
...When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power,
The World will know Peace
Funny that's it's still so relevant even tho this speech is 30 years old... not much has changed
Cool art and great content love the word "spend all that money on weapons and instead spend it educating the poor "
RIP guru
What is Fear if we have Nothing to love. But more important, what is love if we Nothing to fear...
good point 🤔

I'm Bill Hicks and I'm alive now. 🥰
For a musical version of this, try Mad Tribe - Just a ride

There are ideals and then there is reality.

Life is a roller coaster that you can't get off of,,, death is just a temporary pause before you go back on the ride,,,

Imagine inventing your own feelings that bother you? I always felt suicide was aspects of the universe itself not liking it's current state. Since, it is claimed energy cannot be created or destroyed, is this forever in some capacity. Maybe the universe is sick of existing.
In a state of fear it is lies that are loved, so thet hiss at the truth, they claim they want. Most do not want truth because it cuts the ego.
So sad that so many people in the US still don't know who Bill is, or his legacy.
