I spend a lot of time on here talking about Informationalism, why I think it's the future. Why I think it has the power to free the minds of every human being on this planet one day. However, today I just want to offer some music. An important part of Informationalism is being able to sit back and absorb the Information. Everyone is a teacher, but likewise is everyone a student. What can you learn from this video?

Here are the Lyrics:

No Surprises: Radiohead

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silent.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please.

I like that. It was different but understandable in today's world.

Yes, no matter what we always learn and teach, which goes without saying.

Thanks for the radiohead, heard a lot, but never bothered to listen.

Cheers!

music is another way to deliver an information :)

Octavian, it's been a little too long.

First and foremost, we should approach everything as students. Only when we are receptive to being taught are we able to learn. Unfortunately, this is not our nature, as man thinks too much of his own self.

There is nothing worse than a bad teacher, but all good teachers think they are bad!

A curious piece.
