The effort is part of a wave of initiatives across the nation in Indigenous communities seeking to reclaim Native heritage and craft homegrown, culturally based solutions to the problems of poverty – and the host of traumas it nurtures – that have defined life for American Indians since they were forced to abandon their ancestral lands and lifeways for urban or reservation life. His file landed with Pennington county prosecutors as they were cementing a groundbreaking partnership with a group of Lakota elders to divert some cases into the new Oyate court, or people’s court, which employs a process based on Native culture and aboriginal peacemaking principles that stress healing over punishment. “That’s why people get so scared – feeling that something bad is going to happen.”īut Jones, 19, was lucky. Draw patterns and write random words in your notebook be the deep thinker you always wanted to be.“When you’re in the western courts, you feel like you are alone, that you don’t have anyone with you,” said Jones, a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation. If you are walking to a place, stop suddenly, open your notebook, write anything and then keep moving. Walk around university, work or wherever you go with a large bag, a book, a notebook and a pen in your hand. You don’t need them anymore put your glasses back on.
LOOK DEEPER TV
Say that the cheap movie about the almost nude belly dancer represents a dark side of society (although it’s simply made for people without internet access to watch nude dancers, no life lessons here), say that the TV show represents life, that cockroaches are fighters and their love is forever, that empty soda cans are like you: strong from the outside and empty from the inside… you will find a message in anything, believe me.įinally, to link all the above, you have to have the deep thinker look. Now, start searching for hidden messages behind any of these you will not find any of course so you will start getting innovative. This step is very important and is the core of any deep person how can you be deep if you can’t find the hidden message and the secret meaning behind anything? At this stage, you mainly focus on the things no one pays attention to like meaningless TV shows, low budget movies, cockroaches on the streets, empty soda cans… anything that has absolutely no meaning and no use is you target. Try to say more (and post more on social media) obvious stuff that everyone agrees on as if you have discovered the secret of life: “We should really stop beating women to death”, “Men should stop raping women”, “This experience taught me that sniffing heroine is bad for my health”, “The accident taught me that one should drive safely”, and so on. Start by hating everyone and then say that hating people does not make you cool at all. Hating people who do normal things is only half the job the other half is hating people who hate the people who do normal stuff. Try to hate normal things that people do on regular basis, starting from having breakfast as a concept, going to cinemas or watching TV for example.

Hating people is important too you have to criticize everyone and hate everything. If you succeeded in posting about each of these topics at least once a week, then you’re on the right track my friend. There are main 5 topics you have to post about at least once a week: life, coffee, dead actors, the sea and dead musicians.

Social Media is a powerful tool for any deep-wanna-be you have to use this tool wisely if you intend to build your reputation as a deep person. Instead of talking, you can always ask “Why” no matter what the conversation is about, “Good morning sir” – “Why?”, “What time is it?”-“why?”, “Did you watch this movie?”-“Why? Why do we watch movies? Why are movies made?” Try as much as possible not to come off as dumb during this process. If you have to talk, you must speak very slowly and say very little.

Try not to talk at all just give people the despising look we discussed earlier and remain silent. Try to smile less often, despise people, try to look at them as if you’re the king of Scotland and they’re convicted criminals, make the facial expression you make when you smell a public restroom, and then frown a little more until your face muscles start to hurt. Frown All the Timeįrowning is a very important trait if you intend to look deep.

As being deep is trendy nowadays, here are 7 steps you can follow to look deep even if you happen to have the IQ of a banana: 1. We see deep philosophical posts flooding the social media every day, only a few of which are not just meaningless nonsense. It seems to be a trend in our society, and many others in fact. Well, we all notice how sometimes people try so hard to look deeper and more philosophical than they truly are.
