You will never look at life the same - you've been lied to | James Wildman

Transcript:

Despite what you might be thinking these two circles are not equal I repeat these two circles are not equal one is in fact larger than the other what I need you to do is determine which one that is so please raise your hand if you believe the blue circle is larger than the red all right please raise your hand if you believe the red circle is larger than the blue all right very good now before I said anything about these two circles what was your first instinct equal right because they look equal and the reason why they look equal is because in fact they are equal these two circles are identical yet I got just about everyone of you to raise your hand and say that they're not so what do we learn but you can be manipulated like that to believe in something that goes against your natural instincts just just imagine just imagine as a child you're taught that the blue circle is larger than the red if you say it enough times you convince yourself that's the truth if you're told to lie enough times it becomes part of your reality and if enough people are taught that lie that the blue circle is larger than the red well now it becomes part of the culture and if that culture then passes that misinformation along to the next generation will now become a tradition and what we have to remember is that just because we have a tradition doesn't mean it's morally acceptable tradition and morality are not always the same the traditions we have today doesn't necessarily mean the morally acceptable and as we evolved as a culture so do our traditions now the matrix is a story it's a story when told enough times to enough people it becomes part of that culture it becomes the tradition and this story is being told over and over every day in fact if you believe the image on the carton is where you're getting your milk from you're deceiving yourself this is a fantasy it only exists in your head it's a blue pill fed to you by the industry to get you to buy their product this is the matrix the lie we tell ourselves about where our food is coming from the reality is far more disturbing 90 to 95 percent of the milk the meat and the eggs that we consume in the United States are coming from these conditions in fact every year in the United States 10 billion like 10 billion are being slaughtered for food so what that works out to be is that every second in the United States 300 animals are killed just like that so 300 600 900 1200 by the time I'm done talking today there'll be over a million animals that have been slaughtered and most of us don't even blink an eye I mean how is it possible that in the United States of America we can kill we can slaughter 300 animals every second and not question that because of the story we've been told the story justifies the action if you say it enough times you actually convince yourself that's the truth how many of you were taught as a child you need to eat meat to get protein I know I was how many of you were taught you need to drink cow's milk to get strong bones not dog milk not chimpanzee milk not elephant milk not rhino milk not hippo milk not Tiger milk not lion milk not giraffe milk not elephant milk did I say that already I think you get the point not even our own mother's milk we need to drink cow's milk to get strong bones the absurdity of drinking the milk from any other species and any other being besides our own mother when it's said enough times loses its absurdness
