Greetings good citizen, as is my custom I have just come from my morning visit to Some Assembly Required and there I found a snippet attributed to Larry Summers that states by mid-century that 25% of men between the ages of 25 and 54 will NOT be in the workforce.
So listen up ladies, the 'lottery' to select a life partner capable of assisting you in bringing your offspring to maturity just got exponentially tougher!
Naturally, most of you don't intend to 'breed'. Neither of my kids are of a mind [now] but it's vainity to think what YOU want is how things are going to work out in life! (Especially if you're even a modestly good-looking female.)
99% of all sexual activity is NOT done to perpetuate the species. Most of it is 'recreational' and more is done out of 'boredom' than any other reason.
Don't even go there [how many pregnancies are 'accidental'? Most of 'em] although there are the 'deadly serious' who wait so long to 'get settled' that what used to be 'natural' now has to be bought at great expense...in many directions.
But I digress [a full quarter of my nieces and nephews came from the tip of a needle so I'm not throwing stones.]
I haven't taken a poll but I'm willing to bet most of those who endured IVF originally expressed their 'lack of interest' in bearing progeny when they were younger.
It's one of our most basic drives, it could truly be called 'the meaning of life' if we were honest with ourselves...but who is honest with themself?
Pretty much NOBODY.
What am I driving at?
The older you are [especially if you're making that journey into the uncertain future alone] the easier it is to grasp.
Our 'economic system' isn't just unsustainable, it ignores our most basic need!
The supporters of our current system claim the 'competition' for the 'best mates' is in perfect alignment with natural selection...but what is the single most useful trait to a capitalist?
They are excellent CHEATS and LIARS! [Sadly, their second most, er, 'prolific' trait is self-delusion, they can certainly convince themselves that the Kool-Aid is both tasty and refreshing...the fact that it's also deadly is completely besides the point!
The widespread 'unrest' [an understatement if there ever was one] felt by a vast majority of our species is directly related to a world that uses an operating system that DOESN'T NEED THEM!
In a world where you have NO FUTURE, calling a suicide prevention hotline is an exercise in futility!
YOU really don't have a 'reason to live'.
Is this why the capitalists have sic'ced their dogs on the poor?
How DEMENTED is our 'operating system' if we can hire one half of the workforce TO KILL THE OTHER HALF?
[Even more disturbing, given the current situation, you wouldn't have a difficult time at all finding people willing to go through with it, so put that in your Christian pipe and smoke it!]
Understand good citizen, I can go on INDEFINITELY providing you with the multitude of reasons why we should abandon predatory capitailism this very minute but until YOU take up the banner and join the cause our species is doomed!
Think about it.
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
