Greetings good citizen/fellow human, today the headlines offered a half dozen 'threads' I have touched upon recently but naturally I can't pursue them all in one piece except to say, as I often do, that our civilization is unravelling quicker than anyone suspects.
In an 'aside', how many of you knew that almost the entire 'rank and file' of today's media was fired right after the 2008 financial collapse?
I just learned of this from an article contributed to The Medium this morning. I also found another of my familiar 'hobby horses' prancing around in an article in this morning's VOX
The first article spoke to the power of the employer over the press while the second addresses the highly subjective nature of the job market.
In keeping with my, er, delusion, that only the truly sentient frequent these pages [and understand that my near constant denunciation of the terminally stupid ISN'T aimed at them] I also operate on the assumption that these posts serve more as confirmation rather than enlightenment.
The intelligent already know of what I point out. They may not agree with me or my proposals but they nod along as the pieces of the puzzle all thunk into place.
It's the 'out there' stuff that the cognizant find 'curious', like theories of where we came from and why were we abandoned...I have no 'answers' but my theories are at least as plausible as those put forth by the superstitious peasants left behind to cozen us with tales of endless 'faith' and a merciful, loving God that has not yet shown his ugly mug anywhere near the mortal realm.
Only deepens the mystery of why the 'Show Me' state is in the heart of the Bible Belt...
As I commented yesterday, if we were to peer into the future, a future so heavily automated that mankind's ONLY prospects for employment would be protecting the feckless from those they stole from makes you wonder if the mindless can breed that fast or if they will need to have their humanity educated out of them?
Grim as this is, the cognizant can see what lies ahead. It's not in the 'news' because the media is watched like a hawk and if you threaten the tranquility of their fetid little dystopia they've got going here you'll be 'gone' faster than you can say 'arbitration'!
Don't expect the media to 'warn' you about anything our 'betters'/'their owners' are up to, that's not happening.
Um, Is it just me or are these posts getting shorter [as we run out of 'wiggle room']?
None are so blind as those who REFUSE to SEE.
Thanks once again for stopping by and opening your mind,
Gegner
