Strange Things People Do

“While wisdom is the application of knowledge, experience is its only teacher.”

– Xenocrates

Tiger, Uppercut

While watching the parade of idiocy that perniciously masquerades on the world scene through the efforts of the tepid human souls that find themselves caught up with them, I am compelled to observe that the quality of human nature is not quite as high as I imagined. People do some really strange things.

The Stupid Gene

“Stupidity is an unfortunate but necessary by product of cognitive evolution.”

– Xenocrates

Every once in a while, we hear about someone doing something so profoundly dumb, that it makes us wonder what compelled them to do it in the first place. However, stupidity is not exclusive to people who are notably less intelligent than others. In fact, if you think about it, you’ll see how pervasive it really is.

The Obama Era

“The time has come to reaffirm…that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”

– Barack H. Obama

The world has gone bonkers for Barack Obama – and who can blame them? It has been a while since the White House has had a rational resident and a while longer since America has had a leader that could inspired the entire nation with such prolific oratory. What is a first however, is that the most powerful nation on earth has had a leader that is so unimaginably popular that he has been embraced by almost every nation, creed, race, religion and people on earth to the point where he has evolved into a cultural icon of Biblical proportions – literally.

Idiocracy

“To become king in the land of the blind, the one eyed man must first pretend to be blind.“

– Xenocrates

eorge W. Bush is a genius. Yes, I said it. The 43rd President of the United States is an unparalleled savant. Never before in the history of the world has one man duped the greatest modern empire of all time into the greatest modern hoax of all time by manipulating the greatest man made act of terrorism of all time to sideswipe the greatest united committee of all time to foster the worst orchestrated war of all time using the greatest lie of all time for the most underhanded and nefarious act of self profiteering of all time while plummeting the greatest empire of all time into the worst economic slump of all time then duping the “greatest” nation of all time into bringing him back for round two and three. And to top it all off, he did it all while appearing to be the dumbest, most inarticulate, most average, most unsophisticated, most ineloquent, least charismatic and worst favoured US president of all time. This guy made Nero look like a chump. Now if that isn’t the work of pure genius, I don’t know what is. But that’s not the kicker. George Bush got away with what he did, because he recognised long before anyone else, that the American public constitutes of the largest, most powerful Idiocracy of all time.
