(no subject)
As far as recent history is concerned, every generation leapfrogged over their predecessors in one way or another. The thing that scares me is that as far as I can see this trend is starting to falter. Perhaps my age is starting to kick in, (I always seem to be one foot in the grave) but I'm noticing a sharp decline in the intelligence and promise I see in the "future" generations, more and more they seem to be playing the most bizarre game of copy cat at the whim's of the corpoliticals. More and more I see the younger generation as uneducated targets with their chests all puffed out in ignorance and a big fucking target painted on them. It's a fashion statement, the big bullseye, all the cool people wear one.
Now don't get me wrong, we are all subject to silly fads and regrettable actions throughout our childhood, as this was, I hope what we are experiencing is just the faze that I was unable to see growing up due to my perspective. I just don't see the advantage to blind stupidity and the most rediculous of hero worship. Explain to me why a 12 year old has to wear enough jewlery and expensive clothes to feed an entire tribe in africa, why their phone is worth more then my salary, and at every turn they snarl, spit, and bite at the hand that feeds them and their habits, and anyone who may disagree with them.
Of coarse the more I think about it, the more I realize that the previous generations had the same problem with us. Every generation is undesirable and unrelateable to every other generation because it is different. You are different, so I must fear/destroy/condemn you.
God I really hope that history is just repeating itself and I'm just too blind to realize it.
Of coarse, if it is not, and what I'm seeing is real and true. We have a built in population control. Natural Selection baby! The weak will be consumed by the strong.
The ants will be killing each other! Really? More dinner for everyone!
