I watched this movie through the lense of self-development as I picked it up from a self-development movie list online. A lot of it is atmospheric, about the circumstances, and annoyances of black women who worked at NASA. It is really inspiring to see them being so looked down upon, and given no consideration, and yet still somehow managing to take very important positions within a male dominated field especially at the time. It was very exciting seeing coloured bathrooms being demolished.

I will say that NASA, and space travel, even though impressive leaves a bad taste in my mouth for we could have all this focus on our planet, the animals, and nature that we currently have. Where are the geniuses innovating ways we can preserve our climate? When will we focus on the planet the way we focus on stars? Different people should have different aspirations, but I don't want humanity to die haha. So anyway this was something different for me to watch because all I am focused on is nature right now (and self-development now haha).

Another aspect which stands out to me is family, and love, and how these smart people get to be in these admirable positions. There is status gained while doing this work. I think I got quite jealous, and contemplative. I am astounded by how serious, and non playful it is to be working there, but also this is a movie so perhaps it is just a popular perception of how it is, but since these people were even racist, I guess it must have looked like that. Everything could be so much better if we had love, and compassion for each other, if we didn't laugh at our differences, and let the smart people do their work that they want to do.

This movie got me thinking about how I could contribute in terms of smarts to humanity. We get to do this, and we should do it just for how cool it is, but we should also care about the animals, and the planet because that is even cooler. It is nice that we are less racist, but we are even more cruel to the animals now as factory farming got worse, and worse. In the social justice aspect humanity hasn't progressed at all - we just found new victims to commit even worse crimes on.

We need animal rights movies like this currently not to say that this is bad, and I give this movie the best rating, but what we do to animals is far worse, and they deserve our attention right now as a socially discriminated species. We do not even acknowledge the animals as a species, and discrimination of them as speciesism. The public is being kept in the dark, but also a huge portion of it stay willfully ignorant of the struggles the animals face.

This is a profound movie about a woman who is not conventionally attractive, and how her life turned around once a concussion made her feel conventionally attractive.

I feel like I need to reevaluate a lot of my memories, and the comments I received lately. This is a really good movie to face your shadows surrounding beauty. I received a ton of overly encouraging comments whenever I felt good about myself to the point where they wanted to convince me that I had superior genetics to other humans, and to the point where people did not want to engage with my content, but rather just use my body. I did not stop to think exactly why they were engaging in self-hatred like that, and what caused it, but now I do. On the other hand I had people who acted like they liked me in a normal way, but then acted like I didn't matter, and that they did not in fact like me, that my only value was my work, and what I produced for them.

This movie portrayed everything I needed to be portrayed. Lots of people say that everyone already knows how to love themselves so that they don't need to read up on self-improvement or take the first steps to do it, but the more I engage in self-improvement content the more I realise that this is a language I did not develop at all growing up, and I can only develop it by engaging with it.

There are people out there who want you to succeed, and to be well regardless of how you look, and who you are. Unless you have that same confidence in yourself you will not be able to be in the same room as them. Everyone has unique gifts, and we were not meant to compete with each other, but help one another - collaborate, and contribute to everyone's well being. It is sick how many people take advantage of this basic human need for connection, and use it to steal, and to spread suffering, convince you that life is all pain, and that animals need to suffer at our plates for no reason at all.

I refuse to believe that I am any different from any human being. I refuse to believe that words of suffering hold more power than the words of thriving. Everything I have experienced is a lesson, and I have hope that truly embodying these words will make others embody them as well, and if not I will still find my people. I have found myself.

The Game Changers is so information packed, the visuals are gorgeous, it is a very well filmed documentary. I love how it unpacks veganism from a new angle unlike a lot of repetitive vegan documentaries. It is the definition of converting someone by example as every person in it is thriving (well maybe not a dying grandpa).

There are a couple studies in the middle of it which will turn off an ethical vegan as they are conducted with non-vegan meals. But scaring people about losing erections, and getting their blood muddy because of murder consumption is probably good!

I love how easily, and clearly it presents the information about nutrients. Explains how everyone needs b12, and how plant protein is superior.

It is fun hearing about all the athletes, and they are obviously highly regarded people in our society for their commitment to overly specific physical skills. All athletes have experienced tremendous advantages from a plant based diet. I really liked how there was a lady who cooked for a whole sports team custom meals, it seemed so wholesome.
