IGNORANCE
I receive many e-mails asking why I don’t post articles to this log more often.
The reason is that like most people I find that the trivia that one encounters in everyday living consumes time that could be better spent in creative pursuits
I write when I encounter either ignorance or stupidity so overwhelming that I have no choice.
Ignorance can be excused but stupidity is something else entirely.
People who have not been exposed to fact, for whatever reason, can be excused but when facts are available and well-circulated then those who, again for whatever reason, chose not to accept those facts are truly stupid.
Stupidity has no place in civilized countries. The people therein have had access to schools, libraries and recently to TV and the Internet.
There are countless documentaries on TV with well-developed time-lines of the evolution of the surface, forests and landscape of our planet. The rise and fall of ocean levels and the formation and melting of glaciers has been a continuous process.
Core samples taken from ponds indicate, from very durable pollen samples, the plants that grew in the areas and the temperatures and moisture necessary for those plants to exist.
The planet Earth has warmed and cooled for eons before there were people, power plants and automobiles.
Even a fifth grade level geology book would enlighten people to this fact so why are so many people resistant to truth?
What is it going to take to convince those people who make decisions that can wreck the economies of the entire planet to change conditions that are unchangeable?
Is it politics alone that so blinds people or is it a more sinister hidden agenda that is determined to revert us back to living in caves and eating roots and berries.
There are no more new caves and many many more people today so expect violent competition for survival.
You can NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the public. Winston Churchill put it best, “The best argument against a Democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”
Granted, he was from, shall we say, the aristocracy of Britain, but never the less the statement is true.
There are those the choose to believe lies and those that don’t want to hear the truth. There are a few that are mentally impaired that are incapable of understanding but these are few and far between and are far outnumbered by those who CHOOSE to remain stupid either from laziness or personal undefended bias!
Unfortunately, for the rest of the population, suck it up, you’re stuck with it.
I wish I knew the answers.
