People are Stupid.

Most of us humans flutter through life not realizing how f$cking stupid we are. We always seem to be going some where, but if someone were to ask where we were going we wouldn't have a clue, and we would not even know why. We wouldn't know because life cannot be condensed down into brief twenty minute fragments littered with fun and laughs while the trouble never seems more complex that a bit of uncomfortableness. But life is not like that. We are stupid so it would be would be long, mundane, and dull filled with hours of staring at a television that is passively programming us into drones that pick and chose a life from prepackaged ideas sold through the media. And through that process, we all become stupid.

That is what education has become--programmed stupidity. Sure, we go to school, but that is either daycare or manipulation to become the architects, engineers, and manager of the programming machine. Sure, you may be educated, but you still followed along and played the game. You may be smart, but you still are stupid working for that corporation. The pay may be good, but is it worth all of that injustice that is all too easy to ignore.

Humans just became to smart for its own good that they were stupid. We know everything, but we do not know unintended consequences of our actions.

Let me summarize your point:

People are stupid, because people work for evil corporations.

Solution:
Perhaps people should work for non-profits.

Now, let me see if I understand you. A biologist who (say) discovered a cure for cancer would be stupid because he was educated (and got a Ph.D. in biology)? If that is not what you are saying, then what is it you are saying? If anything. (I surmise that education and you are not getting along, and that you are expressing your hostility to education in general. It sounds like a personal matter).

Did you just want to stop by to show how wrong you are? First, this is written from a flawed perspective meant to start a discussion on why and how people are programmed to be stupid. Its not my perspective, but rather one that potentially exists. Second, my education has nothing to do with this. Why would it? And why the f$ck would it matter anyway? Third, that would be stupid to say that a biologist that discovered a cure for cancer would be stupid. This has nothing to do with biologists anyway. It is obvious what groups of people I was targeting so thanks for stopping by and spewing your irrelevancies. Have a nice day.

Well, nice try but you missed the point. I would explain, but I don't feel like it.

I see your point. One can master the rules of a certain game and yet the game itself may be questionable.

I think it's a valid and difficult question, this issue of injustice. One can smile and smile, and be a villain still. One can have a nice swimming pool for the kiddies with money earned by depriving other kiddies of clean water.

How much blood has been spilled merely to open markets to a machine that dies when it is not expanding? And yet the alternative to this machine also has its faults. A difficult question. And most simply opt unthinkingly not to think on it. And, frankly, sometimes I too turn my attention to more solvable problems. Because, indeed, I feel too small politically, as one voter among millions, to make any difference. I feel like a gnat on the ass of history. But perhaps those who do thinks like invent television or the atomic bomb experience the conflict more intensely. In fact, I seem to remember that in both cases, the inventors or co-inventors were at least ambivalent. In theory, nuclear energy and television could light up the world with energy, freeing humans from drudgery and offering a powerful means for education. Instead, we have preventative invasions, and The "Real" World. We watch morons get drunk. We incinerate civilians. And all of it is made possible by the cooperation of people as politically small as I am. On the other hand, is revolution any more promising? The ruthless tend to float to the top somehow.....

. But that skips a lot of questions, like "How long a life is long enough?".

How would that question be relevant to whether a man of 90 lived a long life? "Long life" means longer than average. What has that to do with "long enough" whatever that means?

That seems similar to starting a thread saying "people are stupid".

But "has a long life" certainly is not. For reasons already given.

The statement is clear, but the reason for saying it and the topic to be discussed would be vague.

But what happens when more possums make it across the road than chickens?
