Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

You should talk to Ansche Chung about that whole "living on linden dollars" thing.

People who watch or play sports should "get a real life."

People who watch or create fictional movies should "get a real life."

People make or enjoy small talk should "get a real life."

People who weightlift or exercise should "get a real life."

And finally, people who do not spend every waking hour of their lives working toward "solving global warming" should "get a real life."

Let's face it, the reality is there is no manual for life's existence. There is no such thing as "getting a real life" because there is no actual, truistic meaning of a "real life" or what "getting" one actually entails.

Once global warming is solved, then what? You have a greater possibility of more humans and healthier lives to be born to do ... what? Same with world hunger. And world peace.

Have you ever considered that by your logic, once global warming is solved and all of the world's other problems are solved (presumably that's where you're going with it) by people with "real lives," there would simply be more time to have "fake lives," (as it were) as there wouldn't be any more problems to solve and everyone could just "waste" their lives away, care free? You would then have simply defeated the entire purpose of your goal of having everyone get "real lives."

Let me take this another direction, it appears that you think the goal is to extend lives, but perhaps getting a "real life" actually means doing to things to help kill off the human race and die younger. Without humans in first place, there would be no hunger, no war, and no reason to worry about global warming. Once everyone is gone, there would at least then be no such thing as a "real life" for anyone to "fake," so this scenario is even better for than your apparent proposal because, as I explained previously, the end goal doesn't result in the entire care free human race "wasting" their lives.

The point is that in reality, there is no life manual, and therefore, no real such thing as a "real life" for people to get. Such a concept exists only in your mind, a place in which, by your expressions here, I certainly don't want to live.

All I can say is... Woah!!! Very Keanu Reeves there. I am not suggesting anyone solve any problem, whether it be global warming or world hunger. It's just that I have recieved emails from people who's partners have ruined their relationships and their own lives because they have become obsessed with non-existent environments. Environments that exist for people to be someone other than who they really are. When I say "get a life" perhaps I should say "reclaim your life."
