Legacy


Posts: 12

ive thought about how if you paint something on a rock it can easily be wiped off with time i.e. rain or animals, and after it has been wiped off you would have never known there was somethin there and it would be gone forever,

 

but say you carved somethin into a rock , even after years what you wrote on the rock will be there,

if not there will be obvious signs that there was somethin done to the rock

 

which keeps making me think that's how the measuring of a legacy is, like paintings in a museum have to be kept in certain conditions so they don't get erased etc but they only need to put a hieroglyphics thing on a prop up and it will keep itself up regardless,

legacy is measured by how deep you are carved into the rock of history, you could have been painted on the rock, scratched onto it, or carved, etc,

 

 

What did you do for a fuckin change?!

I find it really morbidly interesting that Walt Disney is notorious for adorable childrens cartoons and euphoric playful fantasy lands, but in reality, his head is on a high tech stick in a cryogenic chamber. 

It’s really not about reality, where the money goes, what you do with it. It’s not about the mouse, or the shape of the mouse head. It’s not about Walt and who he was. It’s not about his ideals, and fantasies that he tried his all best to bring to fruition. 

It’s about how it made people feel. They don’t care about the morbid reality. They don’t care about his dreams, and will never move a muscle to support them. Everyone only seeks to take a thrill, take a first row seat to experience some form of pleasure, escape, enthrallment, entertainment. 

And then people put him on a pedestal simply because, not because of his accomplishments or his hard work, the way he moved mountains where other people couldn’t, not because of his genius. But simply because other people did too. He was popular. It’s the mob effect. 

So, you make people feel a certain way, the automatically like you and love you and adore you, even if the reality of you is something so far from what they see. People are entirely blinded by this emotion. And then they are blinded by the swaying of the mob or belief in the mob mentality, where by nature you want to do or automatically do what other people do- simply because other people are doing it. 

People are controlled by these two base factors. And it’s why the world is such an incredibly dangerous place, because anyone with half of a clue, who is aware of this- or has gone as far as to study it at great length. Can use this to their advantage. 

And then we no longer live in the ideal world or ideal America for example, that we made up in our heads. We live in a far different reality than that, but majority, their eyes aren’t open to that reality and how crude it is. 

The crude reality is, Walt Disney’s head is on a stick in a cryo chamber. The reality is people don’t want to see reality they want whatever makes them feel better at the moment, and the path of least resistance to attain that feeling. Whatever is easiest and fastest. 

We by choosing this, as a majority, are enslaving ourselves to powerful conglomerates and fast food chains and corporations… that reap the benefits of our delusional and naive ideals, trivial emotions and lack of ability to control them or master ourselves, and our very nature as a species. 

All those wonderful ideals and things that are beautiful and good and powerful about us and our nature, is just being leveraged by commerce and essentially devoured in a very parasitic nature. 

and then from there, all of that capital is used now in 2022 to line the pockets of corrupt people in high places, who make deals with corrupt companies, and in a corrupt fashion- take advantage of everything because they have a perfect arial view of the map of reality they way it really is- from their rooftop penthouses and private jets… they see the weakest points, and they extricate whatever they can from it- even if it has a negative effect ultimately for “the people” for “society” 

 

Walt Disney is a roose, it’s a trap. It’s feeeding you happy happy happy, you come in enchanted. And then all the money and power goes to someone who, you shouldn’t be trusting with that much money and power. Who don’t seek to make the world, a better place. Who don’t care who gets taken advantage of and the cascading domino effect, negatively compounding even- leaving a legacy of poverty stricken, crime riddled streets- and entrapment of the middle and lower classes. 

And there’s no law and order to stop it… 

 

 

The real legacy you want to leave might not have your picture hanging in a museum or a statue carved of you in bronze. The legacy you leave is a society that functions in a way that you know is right. By doing your part, whatever way you can. Because of an innate belief in the importance and intrinsic value of a society that is just. 

Unfortunately, in terms of this, if you want to leave this type of legacy. You are living in a world where you are greatly out numbered. A lot of people don’t want the world to be a better place. They just want to feel good. 

You want a statue of bronze of yourself. And for what? You want a mansion. A Big Mac. A fast sports car. A big company with your name on it. A fat check in the bank. For what? 

What legacy is that.

When you consider all the challenges he faced with his Disney Land ventures, and the era's focus a Jetsons-themed future, a head on a stick starts to seem less strange. They as a business were not just their cartoons, in fact they were less successful in that area until the 90s and almost went under around the time of Black Cauldron. 

It’s really not about reality, where the money goes, what you do with it. It’s not about the mouse, or the shape of the mouse head.

Actually, the shape of the mouse head is a very important piece of marketing, one where both of his ears must always be present in the frame, even when it wouldn't make sense, over his head being a logo. 

It’s about how it made people feel. They don’t care about the morbid reality. They don’t care about his dreams, and will never move a muscle to support them. Everyone only seeks to take a thrill, take a first row seat to experience some form of pleasure, escape, enthrallment, entertainment. 

It's about making money through the most efficient means possible, from an era where the future was the goal ala Tomorrow Land rather than the Designer Obsolescence culture we've found ourselves in. 



Maintaining the fantasy lets people stay in a near-drunken haze of nostalgia glow while money flows out of their pockets similarly to the Vegas model if you removed all the gambling.

More like what happens outside of Disney stays outside of Disney. 🤣
