Skeptic Project

...they'll ignore it at best, get insulted at worst.

A short private message thingy I got on Zeitgeist Bewegung told me to basically be more in support of the movement and logically explain myself to PJ, so we could all form a happy couple or something.

I took a few minutes to write a response that consisted of something like this:

- Stop talking about the collapse w/o any evidence that it will happen, for more info read domokatos thread on growth and debunkings on peak oil hysteria
- Stop blaming money for everything, as long as you don't have any alternative (and no, "solar panels" and "hydroponics" doesn't count as one)
- Stop generating traffic through Z1, it's badly targeted traffic. You need open minded but skeptic people to run a social movement for SCIENCE, not some guys who believe any crap some guy with nice music tells them.
- Don't promote ONLY TVP, but try to present numerous alternatives to the current socioeconomic climate.
- Start looking for actual scientists, and use an actual project planning system instead of a online forum. Even basecamp is better than that.
- Present the research projects on the radio address and ask for donations

I went into a couple viral & basic online marketing strategies, basically I lot of stuff I was thinking TZM was going to do when I joined.

Now, I get as a response (slightly rephrased): "Ur too critical, PJ is doing a good job and he will not have time to do all of that. We should start with one thing as many members have ideas and we cant act on all of them"

I'm kinda getting pissed at these people, as well as at myself for not knowing better. Give them a few easy things to fix their stuff and they'll find sth to complain about.

Btw, anybody who guesses right where I stole the first sentence wins a hug or money or something. (It ain't Bob Bly)

Damn these global revolutions. They take up so much time.

When is Merola going to have time to sit in his NYC apartment and get stoned?

Perhaps TZM just needs to make wind bells.

I never thought Jesus and I would be on the same page.

"I was like OMG THE ILLUMINATI DELETED THIS THREAD!"

:D Same here.

The funny thing to me is that the response just fails on so many levels.

They don't have the time to work for a few days, PJ isn't the leader but he must decide whether he likes my ideas, yadayada.

Welcome to my world..
