March 2009 – Stupidity

I hate Stupidity

I hate how it affects my life.

It is an insipid creature that is stalking mankind and will surely cause his downfall if we don’t start rebelling against it. I don’t recall it being quite as rampant when I grew up. Oh it did exist and I myself have been guilty of Stupidity      . I know it’s hard to believe. But my sister told me once not to touch this hunting knife that she had as the blade was very sharp. I ignored her of course and ran my finger down the blade. My finger began to bleed. My sister was right and I learned not to do that again. I learned from my Stupidity and moved on. Stupidity should be seen as a tool of learning, not something to cherish

We must exercise this affliction before it destroys us, but the irony of the situation is that Stupidity is a protected species and governments go to extreme lengths to do so. It also cost us a fortune.

But so many people don’t learn from their Stupidity and the rest of us suffer because of it.

15 years ago I got my first mobile phone and I relished in the fact that I could call my girlfriend and I could order a takeaway whilst driving. I was and still am capable of talking on a phone and driving. But because some stupid bugger can not Multitask, you and everyone else in Australia can not legally talk on the phone whilst driving. Why is that so?

Why can’t we just punish the stupid person? Maybe they just can’t drive and the phone just happened to be there. Why should their stupidity affect me?

It’s now got to the point that more and more stupid people are getting into positions of Power. The most famous being George Bush. He changed the world for ever. I’ll let you decide who else could join him.

If we lived by the law of the jungle these people would be bred out and life would be able to mosey along with less clutter, less rules we would feel alive again. You know jumping from a moving bus or train, riding your bike without a helmet so that you could feel the wind in your hair.

Yes we might have less people to laugh at, make fun of even but if the current trends continue by the end of the century we will reach the lowest common denominator and then it will be too late for mankind.

Homer Simpson will be the new Socrates.

The whole planet will be watching neighbours but we won’t lose the will to live because our stupidity will keep that at bay.

I did a Google on Stupidity and within 0.23 secs I got 9,200,000 hits.

I also think it was stupid of me to try and give a three minute speech on this subject in the first place.   

I should have picked something easy like religion or does god exist
