I spend a fair amount of time each day browsing headlines, reading news stories, following political blogs, checking out editorials and the like. So, I feel as qualified as anyone to say the following things:
1. There are a thousand schools of thought on all things political and economic, and these subjects have been tinkered with down to the minutest of minutia. There is endless - ENDLESS! - argument as to which is correct. This system would break down under this condition, that system doesn't account for this other bullshit, this system is immoral, that system has been proven ineffective...blah blah blah.
2. Each person associated with each system of thought believes he is The Smartest Person Who Has Ever Lived. Condescension is omnipresent.
3. If the mental energy wasted debating these things could somehow be harnessed and applied to actual problems, there would no longer be any problems.
Granted, I am a certified low-level genius with an IQ of 147, so it took me only about ten minutes to unravel this mess. However, I'm sure that given an hour or so most non-retarded people could reach the same conclusions I have.
So what's the fucking hold up?
My opinions are these:
- nobody wants to admit they are wrong
- nobody wants to actually solve problems, they just want to be in control
What to do? What to do?
Blow your brains out now because it's only going to get worse.
