Greetings good citizen/fellow human, once you start messing with 'shock value' [The Overton Window] you can end up triggering a series of 'unintended consequences' that nothing is going to fix.
In yesterday's offering we touched upon the plight of the millenials, raised by concern trolls who were totally oblivious to what their precious progeny was being taught...or worse, what effect their own overbearing actions were having on them.
No 'peacemakers' here, every conflict was interpreted as rebellion by the anal retentive and discipline (if any) was handed down from on high.
Not that this is universal but the 'peace at any price' stratagem has exacted it's toll.
Just as the 'younger generation' is being branded as 'entitled' it appears the so-called 'Kidults' are avoiding responsibility for this outcome. Not all of you. Some of you saw what was happening and protested but that's how we ended up with the wife of the founder of Scamway as our Secretary of Education...qualifications don't mean anything if you're rich enough.
W's 'no child left behind' pretty much put every kid behind the 8 - ball as 'mandated but not funded' programs gutted the education system that quickly came to more closely resemble our children's ultimate destination: Prison.
Our children aren't given the tools or the latitude to solve their own problems so they either sit there stymied or make 'guesses' about how to even address what is blocking the path forward. [Having had it drummed into their heads that it isn't MONEY, Nope, never was or never will be although the other thing they were 'DRILLED' on is EVERYTHING has a 'price tag' [and you needn't look too hard for the fucker trying to collect it.]
How do humans function when every time they sit down to talk about a problem the first factor that fills the event horizon is 'how much is it going to cost and (unsurprisingly) WHO is going to pay for it?'
This is a ridiculous question EXCEPT we have been trained by the feckless to think in terms of payment, even when it involves life or death consequences...like climate change.
We CAN solve all of the problems facing humanity if we deal with them divorced from the issue of 'who gets paid how much for what?'
Money is NEVER the problem yet so much goes undone because of faux 'affordability' issues.
How STUPID are the people running things?
It staggers the mind.
Thanks once again for letting me inside your mind, [I tried to get into your head but there's still too much shit in there!]

ReplyDeleteHope this post lights the fire of imagination underneath an otherwise 'lost' generation. $ = will, profit is meaningless.
