My Thesis on the World.
After years and years of banging my head against walls and against door and against little children, I finally discovered the answer to the most pressing question of our human age. A question often pondered by philosophers and laymen alike. A question affecting every aspect of our day to day life struggle.
Why are we surrounded by morons?
I mean, think about it. How often are your efforts frustrated by the actions of les gens sans brain cells? How much easier would it be to accomplish things do things successfully if for the absence of these absent people? They bring tears to my eyes everyday and yet I cannot escape them. They're everywhere!
And this is the reason.
The human race is a species in the animal kingdom. Duh. And as such, our existence and progression is dictated by certain rules. Rules that likewise govern the other species. One of the most basic and critical rules is that of Natural Selection. The strongest will survive and the weakest will perish and thus the survival of the species is guaranteed (barring God doesn't decide to wipe it out in a flood).
Human beings are not immune to this rule. That is how we evolved into our current form. Those who couldn't learn to walk on two legs ceased to be. Those who couldn't master the making and use of common tools ceased to be. Those who couldn't kill tigers were eaten by tigers. Simple yes?
But now, because of the evolution of the post-industrial revolution society, we've created this seemingly infallible construct that protects us from the consequences of natural selection. Those who can't walk on two legs get wheelchairs. Those who can't kill tigers can buy sirloin steaks at the supermarket. And those who cannot master the making and use of common everyday tools become managers and heads of department.
See where I'm going with this?
Where in the wild, nature would have disposed of those members of society that seem to be a hindrance (lets call them morons), modern civilization has protected them and thus allowed them to breed and multiply successfully, creating more and more morons everyday. The result is that we are now trapped in a continuam of moronic reproduction that, if not kept checked will result in the eventual destruction of the human race.
Exaggeration? I think not. A moron with a pencil and paper can result in the mass production and dissemination of Mills and Boon books. A moron with a camera can result in the birth of shows like Britney and Kevin's Chaotic. A moron behind a computer can wipe out a hard drive of important and possibly critical information. A moron behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler can cause untold amounts of death and destruction. A moron in an oval office with a red phone and a red button can divide the entire world in two. A moron with a nuclear weapon?
Where does it end? Where is the solution? Instead of rogue meteors, global warming, a new ice age, will our inevitable end come from within?
Scary isn't it...
