A very money orientated opinion, but there are other ways to add value to the world and/or build something for the next generation without being entirely that way. In fact, it is not always beneficial to society in the long term to make the most immediately "profitable" choice.

Which asks the question that i think you and Jim have different answers to and that question is "What is most important in life?" or something similar. I imagine Jim likes to entertain people, make them laugh or smile, it brings him joy and he found a way to make it work. There might not be many Jim Carreys but there are plenty of small-time entertainers who get by just fine and do what they love.

Nowadays i believe in balance in most things, you need to be happy just as much as you need to make money, but some people can't make money doing what they love - so contribute and make money, but try to contribute something of benefit in the grand scheme where possible. You need money, and money makes it possible to contribute in other ways, but you'd get bored of ferarris and vegas after a few years as a billionaire, but bringing happiness to others and making the world a better place will feel good forever.

Scientific consensus is not a coalescing of mere opinions, but of careful analysis and experimentation by peer review. It is not the same thing as a bunch of people getting together in a room and saying "yeah I guess that's how it is".

You think scientists feel good about coming to the conclusion that the world is warming? Of course they don't, but it's the conclusion they have drawn. And we should listen to them, because they know much more about it than you or I ever will.

First #1 video! Congrats! Bet that feels good

-edit-
I see you've had a number one before. Although it was before badges.

I FEEL GOOD!

To complete what oritteropo said: Laibach built a reputation for themselves as a satirical "mock-fascim" band* (their members came from late 70s avant-garde theater).

One of their more well known type of provocation has been to cover popular feel-good items and paint them under a fascistic light, the point being that empty rhetoric can easily be turned on its head to serve the opposite view -- fascists and communists where "feel-good", "patriotic", and "righteous" too, according to their own worldview.

A recent example, in light of the very partisan coverage of the issue from both sides and the "you're either with us or against us" tone, would be to make a song about whistle-blowers, and have it set to the tune of a military march.


* In less sophisticated circles they are taken at face value and some people actually believe them to be fascists.

His is such a terrible argument. People should be willfully ignorant because it makes them feel good? How about instead of deluding themselves and wasting time and resources on gods who may or may not exist and may or may not be benevolent people instead make rational, objective analyses of their worlds and take concrete steps toward improvement.

And I wholly reject his notion there would be no less violence in a world with no gods. Nothing breeds fanaticism on a scale remotely comparative to religion.

Private security can not fix social problems.

First you fix poverty, then crime.

Other way around, there is only one way: forever sentences, "no rehabilitation only penalty" is the goal. Trying to sweep "undesirables" away, clean and neatly tucked away in private prisons. It's very neat way of "fixing" the leak by pusnihing one part of your own populace on different rules. What do you think will happen once it goes for a generation? Children are taught from ground-up to not trust the government, the police and the rest of the society that's want to basically kill them but are too afraid so it's dealt with another route: destroying any chance of social mobility by promoting inequality, making tougher laws for crimes that are mostly only happening on lowest economic classes, giving out sentences for the same crimes differently depending how those background factors are that the people themselves can't help. That is an effective solution, it's not final but in these quarterly run world, nothings forever but instead "make profit now".

And then after all that claiming "it's the land of the free", "pursuit of happiness" etc. Everything is very logical under those circumstances. If you are poor, it's your own fault. That is the message blasted all over. Even when shown the overwhelming evidence how equality promotes happiness, social mobility, prevents poverty, it seems that every US citizen, poor or rich thinks otherwise.

The inequality in USA means POWER. It means "i'm better than you". The whole country is sick in that attitude (Sorry, US citizens, i wouldn't say all this if i didn't lover you and your country). You are never good if you're as good as the next person.

Countries that do promote equality, the attitude is "this is enough", i don't need to be better than my neighbor to feel good. It doesn't mean they are lazy or unambitious, it means that boasting with wealth is considered vulgar, idiotic, uncivilized. You can have a guy earning triple right next to you and you can't really see the difference.

This does not fit US frame of mind where money is the only way to happiness and you never can have enough. If you have it, you want to shove it in everyones face.

I always like using should be suicide or should be abortion. It just feels good.

This is the project website: http://www.thetutuproject.com/

I've got a couple of thoughts. Firstly, if it's all just a construct of T-mobile, that would be a bit of a shame, but it's still a worthy cause and a useful spin off from the ad.

But I don't think that's the case. I think T-mobile have picked up on a developing project. It's probably a lot bigger amongst circles of people going through chemo than in the general population. I've not seen it before but it wouldn't be as targeted as me. I think a decent ad exec picked up on the project and ran with it. They get a decent feel good ad out of it, and the project gets a decent feel good ad out of it. Exposure for a project like this can be very hard to get so they probably jumped at the chance to get a big organisation involved.

The photos are good too. Whoever took them for whatever reason is good at their job and I can admire the art in them regardless.

Quite the feel good video *dance *promote and of course happy.

Also checked out http://24hoursofhappy.com which was fun.

True enough regarding peeps wanting that "feel-good" response continually-Superficial adjustments anchored in emotion are short-lived.
To address ant's question, one's outer world (physical presentation, expression, habits, interests, etc.) manifests as a window into one's inner world -A dishevled appearance reflects internal conflict, chaos. The steps taken to adjust by creating one or several new habits (grooming, healthy diet, etc.), while at the same time discarding deleterious habits (addictions, shit-think, harmful associations), will alter a human forever. The hardest thing for this man to deal with are his routines that brought him to this point of rescue. Adjusting them radically at this stage in the spiral may be the jolt needed.

Definitely, he'd benefit greatly from he support of others who have made similar journeys.

30 days is enough to meta-program oneself-A good general rule of thumb: While trying to adjust or discard actions, attitudes, habits, etc., is to simultaneously adopt a completely new beneficial daily action or exercise to accompany the elimination of another.
