Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.53,0:00:20.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Sound of heartbeats, in the background.]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.45,0:00:23.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am trying not to spend this time as I spend most of my time,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.84,0:00:25.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,trying to get you to like me.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.55,0:00:34.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is an ancient pattern of time usage for me
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.89,0:00:39.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I am trying to move deeper, hoping to be helpful.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.14,0:00:46.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a sleight of hand, a distraction,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.66,0:00:50.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so to attempt to change the pattern, let me expose the wound.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.02,0:00:53.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do know that it is old.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.92,0:00:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do know that it is a hole in my being.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.16,0:00:58.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do know it is tender.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.13,0:01:01.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do believe that it is unknowable, or at least, inarticulable.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.16,0:01:04.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do believe you have a wound, too.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.25,0:01:09.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and common to everyone.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.34,0:01:13.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do believe it is the thing about you that must be hidden and protected.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.82,0:01:17.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the thing that is tap-danced over, five shows a day.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.67,0:01:20.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the thing that won't be interesting to other people if revealed.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.65,0:01:23.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the thing that makes you weak and pathetic.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.33,0:01:29.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the thing that truly, truly, truly makes loving you impossible.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.64,0:01:35.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is your secret, even from yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.64,0:01:39.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it is the thing that wants to live.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.78,0:01:44.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the thing from which your art, your painting, your dance,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.44,0:02:06.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the forms of movies, TV shows, newspapers, YouTube videos, the internet
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.37,0:02:10.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's ludicrous to believe this stuff doesn't alter our brains.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.05,0:02:14.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's also equally ludicrous to believe that, at the very least,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.77,0:02:20.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this mass distraction and manipulation is not convenient for the people who are in charge.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.55,0:02:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's being produced in the same factories that make Pop Tarts and iPads,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.46,0:02:41.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they're very good at their jobs, but that's what it is you're getting,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.55,0:02:43.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that's what they're making.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.44,0:02:45.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're selling you something.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.11,0:02:47.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the world is built on this, now.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.24,0:02:54.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Interpersonal relationships are built on this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.20,0:03:00.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we're starving, all of us, and we're killing each other, and we're hating each other,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.13,0:03:03.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're calling each other liars and evil,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.47,0:03:06.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's all become marketing and we want to win,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.04,0:03:10.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we're lonely and empty and scared and we're led to believe winning will change all that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.12,0:03:15.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Sounds of fight announcer, crowd, from television]

Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.85,0:03:24.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It always has been, but something grotesque and specific to our time is blanketing us.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.65,0:03:27.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need to see that it is not reality.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.18,0:03:28.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is a choice we are making,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.47,0:03:32.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or allowing other people to make for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.54,0:03:39.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Don't allow yourself to be tricked into thinking

Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.52,0:03:51.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I'd like to express is the notion that by being honest, thoughtful, and aware of the existence of other living beings,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.13,0:03:54.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a change can begin to happen in how we think of ourselves and the world,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.64,0:03:56.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ourselves in the world.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.38,0:04:25.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we will express ourselves and with this, other people won't feel so alone.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.44,0:04:33.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that I believe with courage and vulnerability and honesty,
