    LYRICS:
    I'm sorry, I don't want to be an emperor
    That's not my business
    I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
    I should like to help everyone, if possible
    Jew, Gentile, Black man, White
    We all want to help one another
    Human beings are like that
    We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery
    We don't want to hate and despise one another
    In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich
    And can provide for everyone
    The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way
    Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate
    Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
    We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in
    Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want
    Our knowledge has made us cynical
    Our cleverness, hard and unkind
    We think too much and feel too little
    More than machinery we need humanity
    More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness
    Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost
    The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together
    The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men
    Cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all
    Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people
    To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair
    The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
    The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people
    And so long as men die
    Liberty will never perish
    Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel!
    Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder
    Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
    You are not machines!
    You are not cattle!
    You are men!
    You have the love of humanity in your hearts
    You don't hate, only the unloved hate
    The unloved and the unnatural
    Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty! In the 17th Chapter of St. Luke it is written, the Kingdom of God is within man
    Not one man nor a group of men, but in all men, in you!
    You, the people have the power
    The power to create machines
    The power to create happiness
    You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure
    Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power
    Let us all unite!
    Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security
    By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power
    But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise, they never will!
    Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
    Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!
    Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance
    Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness
    Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

    Never has the world needed Meaningwave more, especially this record. I've been sharing the Spotify link far and wide and now I can share the visuals. Which only intensify the message and really drives home the doomer to bloomer concept. Excellent work, Akira. My eyes are filled with tears of hope for the future in a time where the future has been the least bit of certain in my lifetime. I hope to meet you and hug you one day for all that you do. Meaningwave brings solace to my life. It helps me see the bigger picture; that if the world does go to shit, we can and will bring it back together. You've reinstated my faith in humanity. I can never thank you enough. 🌊🙏💜🙏🌊

    I can't stop listening to this. I've heard this speech so many times and over the years since I first heard it, it has only become increasingly relevant. Chaplins words are hauntingly true and right. He was talking about WWII, but even though our society faces less obvious threats, threats there are. Even so, there are many ways in which we may unite and fight for a better world other than with violence. If ever there was an anthem for our times it is this!

    Thanks to this man and the giants whom shoulders he stands upon, I have regained the once lost autonomy I held. I lost my free will to the hurt others had put on me, the hurt of them taking from me and my friends, the lies they told me, and the jealousy they tried to put in my heart. The negative emotion was too much, and I lost my sanity and stability at times. My counselor had to witness it all. But I realized, that though this world is full of miniature dictators who breed insecurity and hurt for their own power and freedom, I am the great hope they and others have. Your true autonomy is a decision between two paths, the path of pure hatred or pure love and selflessness and sacrifice. Once I found this within the pit i had been buried in, i was reborn. I was dead, because i lacked my choices and was a machine. Now, I feel I have learned the fundamental truth of this world and the people in it. Respect the dead, and they may come to life. Try to show them the way! They need to see this is what they really need and want.

    Thanks for doing this one. I use to listen to this a lot. A Marshall McLuhan wave would be really interesting. Marshall McLuhan was the most famous Canadian intellectual before Peterson. coincidentally he was also from Alberta, and he also taught at university of Toronto. He did a really good speech called "living in an acoustic world."

Here are some interesting samples as an example: th-cam.com/video/aMBjpLZjkHg/w-d-xo.html (ex. 23:18, 28:27). I can help you dig through his material for some other powerful clips as well.
