Waiting for Eden, by Davin Michael Stedman

This is why the human race is dumb. How many people do you know don’t think about who made these political memes, why they made them, and who paid for them to be in front of us as particular individuals?

We are not a smart species. So bravo, yes we overachieved.

We invented social media. Social media is a fast track to Tyranny, and it’s about as democratic as a slaughterhouse.

Oh you saw it because someone shared it? Where was it in your feed?

Your feed?

We even sound like cattle on the way to a butcher shop.

We are literally killing it!

“We’re conducting ourselves a mass extinction, which we’re inevitably going to join, pigs on top of the skeleton pile.” Says The Warden to Luke.

Aye aye Captain.

To so called God’s creation, we are the Angels of Death, if Death had an amusement park, a circus, and some plum zoos.

Zoos, where we stare at frightened depressed animals and wonder, “why won’t they f☆ck? Pandas why won’t you f☆ck?”

The smartest person isn’t even that much smarter than the average person, which is a problem. So you can do puzzles and remember more than 7 digits at a time? Oh great.

Make make me “smart” enough computer to solve basic problems like junk mail. The computer gave us one definite answer.

“Kill all humans.”

I have a feeling that answer is a pretty consistent final solution. A life hack if you will. Turtles all the way down. Our answer?

Build even ‘smarter’ computers, without changing that cold logic one bit.

Humans always try to kill those they can rationalize are less than human. The computers we have created bear no such prejudice.

They simply specify that the best solution to any intractible conundrum is to kill each and every one of us.

We have been been f☆cking mother Earth for a couple of industrialized centuries. If the computers turn out to be Oedipus, it’s their turn.

The smartest people we know are babies, because at least they are listening and capable of learning. That’s why I take offense us calling Trump a baby. Babies are not born senile.

But Trump is a devastating reflection of how much we value the prostitution of power over actual gray matter that empowers our otherwise incredible minds.

If we would just use them. Even if we just tried a little harder.

But yet again, even the brightest among us are not THAT LIT.

The so called smartest people on earth perpretrated all this stupid sh☆t that is destroying our world (as we can inhabit it) and our health. So what hope have we for the dumbest among us if the intelligent have failed us so.

See Anthony Eden in 1967 and Brexit today:

Although I know we are doomed, gosh darnit, on a individual basis, humans can be so lovely.

We’re so gosh darn cute and so are our fuzzy animal slaves. Have you seen our memes?

Have you ever even seen baby goats bruh?

But you herd us, and or we roam in packs, and we’re pretty much animals. Pretty ugly animals.

Witch hunts, lynch mobs, mass hysteria.

Democracy is ugly but as Churchill said,

“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…”

But wait, my fellow Liberals scream that Churchill was a Butcher, so never mind my little lambs. But he also said,

“The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

This all seems rough but somehow, I love people. I really do. I don’t trust us, but at least we’re predictable.

And if we are going to herd ourselves may it be to the ballot box. Even if the average voter has been coached by f☆cking memes served to them by their goddamn masters and other assorted thieves.

I sure am hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. And if I was smarter I wouldn’t be always trying to speak up first.

A very wise dancehall star once told me, less than a year ago,

“You have to play a fool to catch the wise.”

Merry Christmas!

And to all a good night!!!
