OuiShare Fest 16, Cabaret Sauvage Paris – Philip Dodson

So for the last 3 days, I have been at the OuiShare Fest 16 in Paris, it’s another tough assignment!!

The event has been hosted at the Cabaret Sauvage situated on the banks of the Canal in Parc Villette and unlike many events/conferences/festivals that I have attended this has been really different.

I will be coming away from the event with a real positive energy, that I have picked up from talking to so many people who are creating something different.

The feeling of optimism about the future of the human race can be felt from all and the feeling of shared values, shared common purpose, there has been a real feeling of togetherness.

Most of our society is driven by fear, intolerance, judgement, hate, anger and that is created and fuelled like a disease by the established order. The order that hoards all the power, wealth, resources, media and government for the benefit of a tiny few. It is the industrialised system, that has turned the mass into interchangeable and disposable cogs in their machine, living a life of servitude to debt and living under an umbrella of fear and control.

It is the moment for the human race to turn that off, it is the moment to walk away from that all and come together and build an alternative, bypass the old OS. Build a new positive future for the human race focused on common good, focused on people and values.

We are living in a moment previously unimaginable to humans, where we can all now write our own book and publish it ourselves, we can broadcast on our own TV channel, we can share our message via a blog, social media, we can sing on our own ‘record label’, we each have the power to create whatever we want and share with whoever we want. We can use technology such as block chain to govern ourselves.

All of this has only happened in the last few years out of the 70,000 years it has taken homo sapiens to leave the plains of Africa to today. We are living in the most amazing times and none of us can predict just how much we can do, other than we have the power for the first time ever to become a single human race and govern ourselves for the good of all and turn our backs on greed, hate, fear, judgement, control and slavery.

What 3 days at the Cabaret have done for me, is to convince me to pursue my plans to be part of building that alternative.

I urge everyone to join in and help to create a world for all and not to be slaves to the tiny few.

No fear of a different voice

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.

There in lies the problem. The word ‘considered’ means that it is subjective, as are all human opinions. That is why you need to be curious of other voices and opinions, so as not to be biased or blind in your judgements.

We all know that nothing is right or wrong, it is just an opinion.

Once you leave the myth of law open only to a few peoples’ interpretation, then the reality is that their vested interests cloud their judgement and that leads to a single view being presented as the only viable option. That is OK if you are one of the myth makers, but for the rest it is yet more enslavement to the order of a few.

Decisions on going to war or bombing innocents is far easier when objections are silenced.

In the world that we live in, the mirage is complete. We see the ‘oasis’ of freedom of speech and freedom to have our views, there in front of us, we believe the myth. Yet that is all it is, a mirage. We have actually less freedom than ever.

The myth makers have successfully got us all to believe that reducing our freedoms further is a benefit for our security against ‘terror’. But if you allow censorship to reign, then how will we every know whether the myths that we are aligning too are in fact the right ones or not?

Censorship has always been the tool of the totalitarian regime, and we demonise North Korea and other such states for using censorship. Yet when the ‘good guys’ use it, then that’s OK, it’s in our ‘best interests’.

We live in dangerous times, where it is important to retain or ability to view all sources of information more than ever, so that we can make our own minds up as to which myths are the ones to follow or not.

I often wonder what the censor has to hide, when they close down the alternative voice? If you have faith that you are right, then you will have no fear of a different voice. If you build something that is inspiring for all to follow, there is no need to silence your critics.
