TROM II: We need your help.

Today at 7:21 pm something
extraordinary will happen,

and I'll show you.

Listen;

10 years ago in this room I created a
14 hours documentary called TROM.

Actually this is me working
on the documentary.

To my surprise hundreds of thousands of people
watched the documentary and so many others loved it.

It was a way for me to explain how the world works
through my own lenses.

Hopefully, educated lenses.

You see, there is something that
makes me really curious,

and something that makes me really fucking furious,
and I think you should feel the same.

But to explain that, I have to go on top
of that mountain there. So let's go.

See this little town? It's a tourist town;

meaning, only three months every
year is full of people here.

The rest, nine months of the year, all these
thousands of apartments, that are fully equipped

(they have beds and they have a kitchen,
they have electronics and everything else)

are completely, completely empty.

While at the same time millions
of people are homeless,

and billions of people have to trade all
of their lives to sit in one of these boxes.

This makes me furious,
like fucking furious.

See those boats there? Hundreds of boats.
It's the same story. They are not used at all.

It's almost 7:21 pm now,

and behind me there is no sun;
it's not there!

You see, the extraordinary fact about
this is that the light from the sun

takes around eight minutes
to reach Earth, which means

I'm seeing the light that was
emitted eight minutes ago.

It's an eight minutes old light.

So then, how is it now? Where
is the Sun now? Well, let's see.

This is how it should have been eight
minutes ago if light will travel instantly.

Truth is the way we see the world
is not how the world actually is.

There is no real time sunset or sunrise,
anywhere in the world,

and that makes me really curious.
It is an extraordinary event.

The truth is that we don't see the world;
not even feel the world.

We think the world:

Ownership, empty
apartments, poverty,

money, capitalism,
socialism,

sunsets and sunrises.

All of these are approximations
of reality, inside our brains.

For the past 10 years I've
been writing many books,

I've been creating all kinds
of tools and videos.

I've been seeing many documentaries
and lectures, I've been reading articles.

I want to take all of that
and compress it into a story.

I want to create a massive documentary,
another layer of reality.

But not a reality that I project. It's the reality
that science has discovered so far.

Ok, so I'm home now and this is one of
the many empty apartments in this town.

This is my little box; but of course
I have to pay for this box.

I live here with the wonderful Sasha.

And we have just one neighbour
in all of this building.

Everything else,
like I said, it's empty.

I have just one laptop, a cheap pair
of headphones and a decent mic.

So that's all I need, and a desk behind
me, that I built in the past.

I know it is nuts to make a documentary that tries
to explain how the world works, the entire world:

from Buckminster Fuller, to Socialism,
to Communism, to money, trade,

to how we perceive the world.

But it's something that I really love doing and that's
what I did when I created the first TROM documentary.

When I made the first TROM documentary,
I had no money and I didn't make any campaign.

I didn't tell anyone that I'm going
to make that documentary;

which is quite relaxing because I was just creating
the documentary and then I'll put it out there.

But now it's a very different
situation, you see.

I have to survive in this society and
I have to pay monthly for my life.

Although it's uncomfortable to make a donation
campaign for something that you will make in the future

because you put some
pressure on you;

is kind of the only way
that I can do it now.

I need one year to focus on this
documentary and to pay for my life,

in this box and in this society,
that's all I need:

rent, and food, water, electricity,
the internet, and that's it.

For the past 10 years the main reason that
I was able to make whatever I made

(the so many books and videos
and tools that I've created)

is because people supported
me financially.

I've never sold anything.

There are no TROM books
at 4.99 or 14.99.

There are no subscriptions, no ads, no data collection. Everything is Trade-Free.

That's why people's help is extremely important.
I cannot do it without people donating money.

I've already started the work for the documentary.
I started to write for the script,

and I will say around 80% of the work is done,
when it comes to the script, because

the documentary will rely on
the previous books that I wrote.

And that was a massive amount of work
that I put for the past several years.

So yeah, if you want to help me
take this furiosity and curiosity,

and create this immense documentary
that will be released, of course, for free,

then go on
tromsite.com/TROM2

and just help me survive in this world
to be able to make this documentary.

And thank you to everyone who
supported TROM so far, because

the reason that I'm here is because people
supported this project financially

and they trust me and the project
enough to keep on supporting it.

Because whatever we create,
keep this in mind, is quite honest.

It is what it is: we make books, videos,
whatever we make it is for everyone.

So yeah, please help if you can
and thanks a lot.
