The running theme im seeing in todays posts is the gravitation towards Idiocracy, this article speaks directly to that theme.
The hooman condition is both the greatest asset we have AND the greatest weakness.... if we are not aware of our manipulations and manipulators then we fail to see the forest through the trees. these kinds of behavior have been normalized by our culture and society.
All we can do is hope that we awake from this trance we have been put into, but it is ultimately up to us to do so.
Your post was upvoted by the Copes Upvote Initiative. My account was delegated 5000SP for one month by Make a Minnow on the P.A.L Network. This has increased my voting power to more than 10 times what it normally is, with some assistance of my Superfriends over on Helpie the Copes Upvote Initiative was created for a limited time, please check out the programs which made this possible and for your chance to be selected to have 5000SP delegated to you.

Thanks so much, Cope! Idiocracy indeed... Let's not hope we devolve to that level of dumb... ;-) I love how you say "hooman" btw. :-) (somehow reminds me of the Martians in "John Carter")
There. That says all. Thank you.
ps Congratulations with the MAM delegation! That's awesome!
