I watched a documentary the other day called
I Am. It's by Tom Shadyac, the man who brought us Bruce Almighty and the Ace Ventura movies. However this film has quite a different twist. He sells everything, suffers a massive biking accident, then sets out to explore what's really ailing the world, saying that war and poverty are not the problem but symptoms of a larger endemic problem. Wanting to understand what we can do about it he interviews scientists, doctors and leaders to discuss ideas of separateness, the accumulation of private property beyond our needs
being like a mental illness and how the heart actually
gives the brain information. Movie quotes: "Every word you utter to another human being, has an effect, but you don't know it." - If you read up on the science behind sound and vibration and understand that it can literally change us at the molecular level, how would that inform the way you used your words? "If people began to understand that change comes about as a result of millions of tiny acts that seem totally insignificant, then we wouldn't
hesitate to take those acts." "Nothing in nature takes more than it needs."
