THE 21ST CENTURY UNITY PROJECT

The other night, I posted on a group YouTube channel a motivational speech having to do with humans in the 21st century expanding their knowledge and worldview. I ask of you to help spread this message, using the creative media of your choosing!

1) Watch the video at the bottom of this page. Using the transcript of the audio, create your own audio or video recording, synced to the music of your choosing. Be sure to make it as awe-inspiring as you can.

2) Upload the audio or video to the site of your choosing. Paste the URL of the video to the comment section of this post so that others may find it easily.

3) Spread the word of this project to others! Post the idea on as many social media outlets of your choosing! Together, we can inspire the minds of thousands!

Thank you, and happy filming!

"As each new generation is born, they grow with a new perspective on how the world works. The ideals and approaches perpetuated by our forefathers are discarded, replaced with those we deem to be better and truer. And though we feel our actions are just, we are marred by a fundamental flaw in how we turn our backs on the past.

Though the abandonment of historical failures is an important social responsibility, we in our haste become ignorant of historical successes. Foolishly we turn a blind eye to ideas and processes which can be updated to reflect modern ideals, and natural phenomena which we fail to recognize as having a modern parallel. This is erroneous and short-sighted; it limits our potential as humans! Our hearts and our minds are firmly held by the preconceived notions that forward is the sole directional path. Before we can step out and change this world, we must change this destructive narrow-mindedness!

The time has come to relinquish the mental chains which bind us to a narrow worldview! From here on out, we question with boldness the fundamental nature of our status quo, and the way which we live our lives! All of us can evolve, to become something larger and greater than our mere selves! In this way, we become more than human! Go forward, into the future, confident in our potential to spark a new Renaissance and forge the pillars which uphold a new era of reason! This is our time to prosper!

In all of us lay a great student and a great teacher. In all of us lay the capacity to understand the theory of everything, and the ability to invoke that understanding in others. Our value is not the result of some benchmark, reputation, authority or other superficial classification. It is in our ability to recognize the complexities hidden within the most basic of elements. 

The natural earth, its plants, animals, insects, and formations all serve as canvasses for emulation. The relics of the past, no matter how dated adn inefficient, are all candidates for resurrection and reinvention. Let us not delay in a thorough examination of the old, so that we may assimilate it into the new! Let no object be spared of this thorough inspection! This is our mission and our shared responsibility as representatives of the twenty-first century!"
