"We generally don't believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life."
Actually I'm only wearing a pair of Brazilian trunks.

As a former dumb teen who tried to pretend he was into metaphysics I can't imagine sounding too different if I had been called on my bluff.

i'm kind of loving how attuned to each other willow and jaden are in that interview
i'm also loving this mental image i have of the smith compound existing in the state of eternal ssj ted talk
I'm curious about your experience of time. Do you feel like life is moving really quickly? Is your music one way to sort of turn it over and reflect on it?
WILLOW: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that's how I know it doesn't exist.
JADEN: It's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it's also such a thing that you can get lost in.
WILLOW: Because living.
JADEN: Right, because you have to live. There's a theoretical physicist inside all of our minds, and you can talk and talk, but it's living.
WILLOW: It's the action of it.
[...]
WILLOW (On her Music): And the feeling of being like, this is a fragment of a holographic reality that a higher consciousness made.
JADEN: Exactly. Because your mind has a duality to it. So when one thought goes into your mind, it's not just one thought, it has to bounce off both hemispheres of the brain. When you're thinking about something happy, you're thinking about something sad. When you think about an apple, you also think about the opposite of an apple. It's a tool for understanding mathematics and things with two separate realities. But for creativity: That comes from a place of oneness. That's not a duality consciousness. And you can't listen to your mind in those times — it'll tell you what you think and also what other people think.
[...]
WILLOW: Breathing is meditation; life is a meditation. You have to breathe in order to live, so breathing is how you get in touch with the sacred space of your heart.
JADEN: When babies are born, their soft spots bump: It has, like, a heartbeat in it. That's because energy is coming through their body, up and down.
WILLOW: Prana energy.
JADEN: It's prana energy because they still breathe through their stomach. They remember. Babies remember.
WILLOW: When they're in the stomach, they're so aware, putting all their bones together, putting all their ligaments together. But they're shocked by this harsh world.
JADEN: By the chemicals and things, and then slowly…
WILLOW: As they grow up, they start losing.
JADEN: You know, they become just like us.
[...]
So is the hardest education the unlearning of things?
WILLOW: Yes, basically, but the crazy thing is it doesn’t have to be like that.
JADEN: Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to.
WILLOW: Forever, ‘til the day that we’re in our bed.
JADEN: Kids who go to normal school are so teenagery, so angsty.
WILLOW: They never want to do anything, they’re so tired.
JADEN: You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out.
WILLOW: I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, “Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.” But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.

The Hunger Games 3 Mockingjay Part 1 comes out this Friday, and is doing pretty well on Rotten Tomatoes
I'm curious now if they'll actually pull off the rare entire-franchise-is-critically-acclaimed-and-crazy-profitable
Anyways yeah, I loved the first two so I'm pretty eager to see the third. I've somehow avoided seeing a single trailer for it and am just going to keep it that way

will and jada are pretty cagey about the scientology thing
they've said they're not, but they gave some sort of large donation to a scientology-related education fund? among other things? or something?
i clearly don't know the specifics but the hollywood secret-not-secret word is that they are (and are also each other's beards of course)
There's a duality to that thinking. While we're being jealous at the same time we're proud of our lack of knowledge.
i'm also loving this mental image i have of the smith compound existing in the state of eternal ssj ted talk
wow
rich people are insane
Children whose parents indulge their every whim and give no guidance of any kind have some weird ideas yeah
Holy shitballs.
