Madness has taken over the world…more or less…and is derailing our culture and our lives. Why do I think…and say…that? Well, I’ll start by explaining that these days are dark days indeed. We are in the age of mindlessness and stupidity. We have regressed further back than the dark Middle Ages.
Why? Because now everything offends, everything irritates sensibilities, everything threatens to knock us off our balance and catapult us into the void. Society has succumbed to the aid of «Big Brother».
Brother man! Now you don’t have to think that much! What for! Big Brother does that for you and more so, he takes good care of you. For your own good you can no longer watch videos that were on YouTube that dealt with unreal topics and lies such as «conspiracy theories», (although many turned out to be true). For your benefit the internet has shrunk so that you won’t be faced with misleading lies that might misguide you. Big Brother has even placed black screens and disclosures on news items that might hurt your sensibilities or shock you…
But they haven’t sheltered you or your children from the bad examples that they portray on most programmes, series, movies and music. No, that’s ok, it’s for the kids enjoyment! They haven’t protected you from the gratuitous violence of videogames that lead to laziness, lack of productivity and improper behaviour…
The freedom that the Western World gained during the age of the «hippies» (think of the 60’s) has been stolen from us. No! Wait! Not stolen, good grief! We gave it away without a fight! They got us drunk of mobile phones and all sorts of other gadgets that we just gave it all away in exchange for having «information» in the palm of our hands. Information for what? We’re just as stupid as we were before smart phones…
But during those glorious years we wanted to be free of the «establishment», of the government, of the generals, of the police, of the bureaucrats and whatever the fuck engendered them! Now we are sheep, we are well-behaved little idiots repeating their phrases and aspiring to be «politically correct»…
Good grief! Listen mate, I don’t want to offend anybody, but have we lost our ability to defend ourselves? Have we lost our sense of humor or our common sense? Hehehe… common sense is the least common of all the senses, do not you know that? Once you lose your common sense it is practically impossible to get it back, even after multiple sessions of head shrinking…
Folks, we are in a room with no exit, like Sartre wrote in (“Huis clos” – “No Exit”). Inside float all manner of stupidities and we are there taking them all in, even through osmosis. We are so dumbed down we do not even realise that the doors are not really locked, but since we have become accustomed to obedience, we do not even try to escape…
Yes, the loonies have escaped the looney bin, they’ve flown the cuckoo’s nest and the head shrinkers and assistants are too busy with a finger up their nose while they vape and play videogames online…

That you should «not want to offend anybody» embodies a bit of the reasons we are where we are today. We do not want to tell anyone they are idiots, lest we be intolerant.. We want to protect the criminal with «rights» so we will be seen just. We want to allow perverts of every ilk to thrust their perversions upon our children in order to show we honor free speech. We give freeloaders the shirt off our backs and much of our earnings so as to be seen as charitable and kind. We allow politicians to be unabashedly criminal because taking them to task might visit woe upon us. We allow mindless cretins, imitators of life to lead us to the proper way to think, the proper fad to endorse, the proper literature and entertainment so we will be ourselves trendy, sophisticated. We pay sport and entertainment personalities millions while allowing bona fide educators, honest police, and other working class people indecent wages. We overcompensate gender, race, religion, and other downtrodden claimants thinking to shut their screaming mouths.
Offend someone. They don’t mind offending you. Give/get. See a fool, tell them they are a fool. An idiot… an idiot. A criminal… a criminal. A pervert… a pervert. A religious bigot… ungodly. Reclaim sanity and the sanctity of social contract. Someone’s feelings will be bruised. Let’s stop, you and I, being the ones hurt.

While insane individuals have always existed, I feel that a lot of people are crazy today for varying reasons. That’s not necessarily because our cognitive abilities have deteriorated, but rather because our way of living is not in tune with how we’re supposed to live. As a result, our perception about the world, and what’s true and false becomes warped, and we’re more likely to experience an increased amount of negative emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
I find that a large amount of the population is mentally, but also physically weak, and resort to degeneracy and seeking out hedonistic pleasures as a result of being incapable of delaying their desire for instant gratification.
Due to this, society has regressed, and we’ve moved away from what makes life worth living, and what makes it all meaningful. Virtuous traits such as discipline, perseverance, honesty, and seeking truth are rare these days. And that makes it so we don’t live according to our natural tendencies anymore.

You’ve put it very well Aiva, and with lots of truth in your words. Yes, people today have lost many of the values that once were regarded as core human values. The difference between a moral human being and a criminal has been diminished and that has lowered the whole human race. Thank you! All the best.

Kids are in a hurry to grow up. They soak in «inappropriate pictures and sounds» and make them part of their internal catalogue. You could easily argue (and I would) that the inappropriateness is food for thought for the growing mind.
