Discussion on Media and Personal Awareness
我不认为我们 本该看电视
并去承担世界上所有的问题。
我不认为我们的身体 具备承受这些的能力。
你知道，应该有那么一天
电视机直接关掉。
也许整整一周，电视机都关掉。
这有什么不好的？
迟早，我们会发现
所有的媒体都是一种误导。
每当你把自己的生活 寄托于外界，
你就会遭受严重的后果。
不要被互联网愚弄。
上网玩电脑很酷，但是
不要让电脑主宰了你。
使用电脑很酷。
不要让电脑利用了你。
你们都看过《黑客帝国》。
一场战争正在进行。
战场就在心智之中。
而战利品就是灵魂。
所以，一定要小心。
关于生日，你不喜欢过生日吗？
不喜欢。
不，不喜欢互联网？
不。
我们来到这里，并不知道 我们将会死去。
是有人告诉了我们这一点。
如果我们永远不知道自己会死，
我们就不会庆祝生日。
但庆祝你出生的那一天 难道不好吗？
我会庆祝我死去的那一天。
因为你将迈向 下一个旅程
在生命中。是的。比如，
你过了多少个生日？
我？你觉得呢？
好吧，我知道你只过了一个生日。
你在特定的一天出生。
在那之后你就再也没有生日了。
所以，我不庆祝生日。所以，
这让我不再计算日子。
这让我不再计算时间。
这让我看起来依然 和十年前一模一样。
现在很明显，艺术家应该 拥有自己的母带版权。
我是说，在未来，甚至去想 都是不可理喻的
你可以拿走别人的创造物 并声称拥有其所有权。
你看，不幸的是，这场讨论 将开始迅速演变成一场讨论
关于人类基因组、 DNA以及其他所有这一切的讨论。
一旦谈到那里，我们 就会陷入复杂的深水区。
所以，你看，最好现在 就开始这个话题
在我们开始谈论上帝之前。
你知道，当我还是个孩子的时候，我
过去常常一直看到 天空中的这些尾迹。
所以，那很酷。一架喷气式飞机刚刚 飞过。
然后你开始 看到一大堆这样的尾迹。
接着你就会发现，邻里街坊的每个人 都在争吵和争执，而你却不知道为什 么。
当我发现乔治·华盛顿之前 还有八位总统时，
我想揍人。你知道，我 想知道为什么我被教导了相反的内 容。

Original transcript (English)
I don't think we were supposed to watch television and take on all the problems of the world. I don't think the body's equipped for that. You know, this should be just a day the TV just goes off.
Maybe a week the TV just goes off. What's so bad about that? In time, we're going to find out that all of the media is a misconception. Anytime you place your life outside of yourself,
you're going to suffer grave consequences. Don't be fooled by the internet. It's cool to get on the computer, but don't let the computer get on you. It's cool to use the computer.
Don't let the computer use you. You all saw The Matrix. There is a war going on. The battlefield's in the mind. And the prize is the soul.
So, just be careful. On birthdays, you don't like birthdays? No. No, not internet? No.
We came here not knowing that we were going to die. Somebody told us that. And if we never knew we were going to die, we wouldn't celebrate a birthday. But isn't it nice to celebrate the day you was born?
I'll celebrate the day I die. Because you're going to move on to the next path in life. Yes. For example, you had how many birthdays? Me? What do you think?
Well, I know that you had one birthday. You were born on a certain day. You had no more birthdays after that. So, I don't celebrate birthdays. So, that stops me from counting days.
It stops me from counting time. Which allows me to still look the same as I did 10 years ago. It's obvious now that artists are supposed to own their master recordings. I mean, in the future, it'll be unconscionable to even think you can take somebody's creation and claim ownership of it.
See, unfortunately, this discussion's going to start to barrel into a discussion about the human genome and the DNA and all the rest of it. When it gets there, then we're going to be in the deep water. See, so, it's better to start the conversation now before we get into God talk.
You know, when I was a kid, I used to see these trails in the sky all the time. And so, that's cool. A jet just went over. And then you started to see a whole bunch of them. And next thing you know, everybody in your neighborhood was fighting and arguing and you didn't know why.
When I found out there were eight presidents before George Washington, I wanted to smack somebody. You know, I wanted to know why I was taught otherwise.
