The Light Bulb Conspiracy (2010)

Get to know the lies and you will find a common pattern. The big wall consists of that we believe that there are ”natural” limits for our understanding. In the same fashion so called planned obsolescence make you believe that there are ”natural” limits for the life time of products. When you get to know the real facts you understand that the very idea of limits is a construction for both products and our understanding.

This documentary explains how we get deceived to believe in the lies.
”Instead of forcing planned obsolescence on the consumers they were to be seduced by it.”

Planned obsolescence, The Economist, Mar 23, 2009
Planned Obsolescence, as Myth or Reality, Catherine Rampell, The NY Times, Oct 31, 2013
Book: Ending the Depression Through Planned Obsolescence (1932) by Bernard London
The Waste Makers (1960), a book by Vance Packard (1914-1996)

What We Do

Väggen försvinner / The Wall Disappears shows how it is possible to grasp and dissolve the wall with art. The wall can also be described as a gap in understanding that exists in the Western culture today, and that keeps us away from a real life. By getting different perspectives on the wall, which Väggen försvinner provides, we can eliminate this gap and reach our abitily of real thinking, and therefore our ability to know and to create what we want.

To the right you can see the most recent posts, but feel free to explore the archive. All posts are relevant today, and until the wall of no understanding is resolved.

We are trained to believe that we cannot do anything about the treadmill of meaninglessness and suffering, except get frustrated, complain, and by different means soothe our anxiety.

Navigate through labels and pages to find music, movies and words that can build insights of the current world and of how we can make a real change.
