“doesn’t do us much good since we’re stuck on this ship of fools called planet earth.”
I found out over the last couple years that U.S. Americans are a lot dumber than I used to give them credit for.
But this is what our schools have been allowed to pump out for decades. And still are. Can’t see this getting any better.
Our enemies used our systems and goodness against us to great effect.
I imagine if we tried to turn this around, these fools would unite against us (led by the nose by the propaganda machine). I wonder what the real numbers are.
I think pain is the only true teacher. Generations who have been protected from pain begin to think there is some guiding hand of fate that will keep them safe.
So they test fate by walking around in unsafe neighborhoods without a weapon.
Or they test fate by sending their kids to school to learn survival from strangers.
Or they test fate by delegating their authority to elected officials.
Sure, some people can learn from history - but most need to learn the hard way.
So here we go - time for life to teach us some painful lessons.
