Serj is an incredible soul. He is a spiritual being no doubt about that. I need to start meditating again..
To be giving to people on a large and small scale as much as we possibly can. From handing someone a popsicle who's walking by, to going across seas to support the hungry and famished. Helping and loving others at all points in our lives.That is my vision and goal in life.
Two of my favorite people talking. This is amazing.

Why and how have I never seen this. This is my new favorite KZread video dude what 😂
I’m having a tough time in my life currently, but I really enjoyed this.
Art is the lens with which I see the world most clearly. When I make art I feel like I am solving a math problem in images. When I complete a work I it is like I have an understanding that was alluding me prior to starting the piece. I would be completely crazy if I didn't have this pure and positive meditative tool. I love Serj XD He gets it.
Serj seems like such a kind, genuine guy. What a guy to look up to.
Just discovered this show. LOVE THIS!!!!
This is the first video I've watch on this channel and literally just found out that Rainn has a channel!?? Crazy...I just bought your book, man! Can't wait to watch more videos and check out your book!
Serj, never stop with that activism. people can change the world, not the politicians!!! ✊🏽
Love this interview...We don't need political leaders to run governmental public offices, we need real people with a real connectivity to guide those who are still living in ignorance and denial of the one truth, the prime truth, we are all one with god and nature and with each other, and when we harness our collective power we will reunite and change this reality into something even more spectacular and beautiful, free from evil and corruption, but people need to rediscover themselves, reevaluate their purpose and their existence, understand the world differently in order to accept each other beyond the illusion of color, language and indifference. On another note : A cause I care about is to see a radical change in the infrastructure of our current social system, local, national, and world wide, from our education, to our knowledge of the universe and our role we play within it, to becoming one with our fellow celestial brotherhood, to rise above tyranny and ignorance, for all to ascend in hopes of one day traveling the stars and reaching higher levels of existence. I realize the "controllers' of this planet won't let that happen easily, so I hold this dream in the back of my mind, until one life I can experience this with the rest of humanity.
This is the first time I am seeing this and Ialmost had tears in my eyes in two points. First when Serj said that the art comes from beyond us, I felt it so much because I think the same and I knew at that time that Serj's consciousness is on another level. And then he went on to say that we don't feel interconnected, that's why we hate and that we don't need organised religion... man this man has won my heart and soul today because this is exactly how I feel and this is the first time I have ever hear someone other than me saying it. Thanks, Serj, I needed this.

I agree with Serj about the importance of justice and freedom for everyone. I would love to see all people, young and old, fighting and standing up for those who are trapped in human trafficking. We need to proclaim freedom for all the millions of women and children who are stuck in this underground mega industry that exploits people for money. Let's all be a voice and use our talents to help in any way that we can!!!
a growth in appreciation and awareness for the possibilities and opportunities. Whether it be education, a loving family, technology, an individuals unique features, food, water, even the little things (such as a hot shower or a nice home) that make life a little bit nicer. We all tend to forget the good things in life because we put too much focus around the bad things that may be going on; but a reminder that life is pretty good is all you need. Appreciate the things we take for granted.
I LOVE YOU SERJ

A cause I care about, is the disconnect between how Native American culture is represented in media and what is ACTUALLY is and has been. Only certain tribes lived in teepees, wore headdresses, decorated with feathers in certain manners, but movies tend to group it all together as if there is no cultural differentiation between tribes. Redskin is a racist term, used when mass bounties were put on Native Peoples. Sioux is an Ojibwe word (with a French adaptation) meaning "snake in the grass" to describe the Dakota/Lakota peoples. There is no 'honor' in any of that.

I do not know if you are first nations, and it doesn't matter, you have my vote on this issue. Both Canada and the USA have a very dark history in terms of treating the first nations as second class citizens, in the past and present. The future for the people of the first nations is dependent on the majority of people in our societies today. I see a lot of misinformation and lack of empathy towards the first nations and it saddens me to think some people would have entirely different idea's of the culture and tribes if they would just see the state of the reservations and why our culture needs help from the government that once sought to destroy them. I do not believe that anyone is aiming to destroy what is left of our culture and population on purpose, but inaction and misinformation could do so if even by accident.

Christopher Cyr You brought up a good point... the PRESENT state of First Nation culture is also unrepresented, and probably even more so than it's pre-colonial state. A couple rez's around me run casinos and make millions, but you don't hear about all the others that don't have that. Families living in roll-off storage containers. But you don't hear about the GOOD stuff either, the musicians and artists trying to make a name for themselves, the styles and jokes. All that's really going on, it's just so 'apart' and unheard of by anyone outside the circle. When people don't know much about Native culture anyway, who knows what they'll believe by merely hearing some rumor?

Woah that tax idea is certainly something to think on. Makes me think of Stranger than fiction when Maggie Gynenhaals character purposefully doesnt pay the amount of her taxes that would go towards military spending etc.
Saw Serj playing a gig in Birmingham in the UK back in 2009. He’s a really great live act and had the place jumping from start to finish.
I also live in the NW and have taken forestry classes. Forests are so vital, but very overlooked
I want serj in "the office"
I agree. I use my writing to show my opinions about whales and whaling. I think that by encouraging students to use their talent, a new world is opened up to them. I can't sing like Serj Takian, nor am I very artistic. However, the gift of words and paper can be a method used to have your thoughts and feelings reach the hearts of many.
see?, this is a great “”interview””, one in which there is an actual conversation and not just questions and questions and questions. I remember some other ones where they just asked them a lot of things and they couldn’t even answer with what they wanted. I love this channel
