SURVIVING IDIOTS
There is in every species a "best" at surviving.
99.99 % of every species which has ever existed has perished.
ONE PER CENT of all who every lived = is us right now.
___
Is that fair?
If you have just $4,210 to your name, you’re better off than half of people around the globe right now.
Among our 1% there is another 1% in a continuous
filtering process from weak to strongest, poor to richest.
Each 1% produces yet another 1% because
everything is always sorted from least to most.
Sorting this out is maddening.
Societies which have experimented with equality, fairness, and altruism have been surprised at their own downfall when inevitably it arrives.
(The Golden Age of Pericles : 495 to 429 B.C.E. Pericles transformed his city’s alliances into an empire and graced its Acropolis with the famous Parthenon. His policies and strategies also set the stage for the devastating Peloponnesian War, which would embroil all Greece in the decades following his death.)
___
Are there reasons for no EQUALITY?
Yes.
We all want the BEST and that instantly creates a hierarchy
form "least" to "best" from which we choose.
Colleges, Employers, the Military, Sport teams, Businesses, all want
the BEST among the field and that automatically means
Winners and Losers.
The famous Bell Curve
In the bell curve, the highest point is the one that has the highest probability of occurring, and the probability of occurrences goes down on either side of the curve.
Call the Left hand side: LOSERS
Call the Right Hand side: WINNERS
Call the Middle : Struggling to move to the Winner side.
Human differences are REAL.
None of us gets to start even.
The game is IN PROGRESS when we arrive.
Everyone and every thing can be subdivided into BEST to WORST. Everything collapses otherwise into a chaos of incompetency and idiocracy.
Sound familiar?
Idiocracy is rule by elite idiots who cheat the system by pretending to be the best of the best.
Idiocracy is rule by elite idiots who cheat the system by pretending to be the best of the best.
We ignore this at our own peril.
POLITICS is two wolves and a sheep voting on "What's for lunch?"
Who will cry "Unfair?"
___
The bulge in the Bell Curve is the voter pool. It thinks it is selecting
from among the right hand side and not the left hand side.
Wrong.
from among the right hand side and not the left hand side.
Wrong.
Developed countries have politicians at local levels all the way up to ruling executive levels.
Should we be surprised at the (lack of) quality of these elected officials?
Developed countries are in chaotic turmoil even with carefully selected leaders who are "the best of an extracted group of exceptional people."
But voters exist on a scale of competence / incompetence as well.
Switching from Republican to Democrat and Democrat to Republican over and over solves nothing because
we have NO COMPETENCY.
Our incompetent leaders have produced escalating chaos
through an ILLUSION that we are voting between a field of highly competent people.
We are not.
We are shooting in the dark and hitting each other.
Mortal wounds abound.
