The Age of Stupids III

Actually I am not a writer person, but it seems people living in oppressed states tend to think deep since there isn't much freedom to do anything else besides writing unobtrusively, except churn out dough for the system.  Much like George Orwell, the modern day oppressed botox island also churns out keyboard warriors George Orwells everyday, you, me, anybody who sees the light.

Back to the story, Botox ministers are a weird bunch compared to the rest of the world.  As one neighbouring minister blantanly puts it, they are childish!!!  Is it any wonder really?  Must have been the media ruling that stomps world leaders recently.  Even an ally superpower country casually commented they express concern!! Why?  Because botox island is dam small, size of a city, population less than 10m, same as the population of any major city or capital city.  There is no collateral amongst the world's major countries even if they drop in 5m of their own citizens into botox island, the numbers are insignificant, consider it ritual sacrifice for trade relations.

Would you as a major economy bother what happens to a little known city known as Congo?  Its so far away, so out of your backyard, or kitchen.  So, people in botox island should realise they are very much on their own, and are the playthings of the powers that be.  Oh about the weirdness of botox ministers?  Yes, other countries have perhaps seize to take botox islanders seriously since the day their emperor joke about pork soup and free smoke of a major superpower country who was facing pollution problems.  I can tell you the audience are stumped!  Like, ORLY!!!  Of course it was a diplomatic event, everybody has to maintain composure, but note taken.

Next, comes the belly punch.  Everybody in the world knows what the internet and social media is.  Its so happening, because it has created the platform for connection, mind connection.  Like now, I am typing my thoughts, which before internet, I would have to run down to a publisher, print a book or something to share this!  And programmers jump onto the bandwagon to create forums, chats, message boards so that they can communicate unabatted with people whoever is connected or geek phrase, plug in.  Like a normal social setting, everybody practise social grace, a guy sharing his thoughts like speaking in a corner, will have audience, nonchalant passer-bys, opposers shouting, supporters defending etc.  But online, there is no such violence or seen, except exchange of words, so easy it is that, whimps can be warriors online, and blockheads disappear into oblivion in the online world.  But it is this online platform that the best concesus and views can be arrived at, unabased, uncensored, conceitedly approved.  Which has been spotted by marketeers and businesses as a business opportunity to engage and market on a global scale.  And also brought on the term globalisation, trade, eliminating the middlemen, expanding existing business model to go global.

So why did botox island want to censor the internet information that is freely exchange?  Imagine, some guy post a comment, sharing his thoughts, some approve, some disapprove, end of story, the man spoke his piece.  Everybody knows what he is thinking and wish to share.  Totally harmless, so why do any govt for that matter have any right to shut him up???  What kind of idiotic nonsense is this?  Now you know why that minister says botox ministers are childish, blantanly so.  And why a superpower cant be bothered to debunk botox's insane laws?  Well for a leader to joke about pork soup and free smoke of a pollution problem, it just tells you be wasting your time talking sense to these people!

The Age of Stupids II

Incidentally, one botox island has one such dictator who has flawlessly, masterfully control the media on a leash.  Of cos being a tiny island helps alot in the control.  For years its people revers in the success stories of this island, help by no means of an expert Empire economics envoy master planning the economic strategy of the island.  A few capable ministers learnt the geeze of this advisor, and follow through his plans till his retirement.

But alias, the blur dictator is more power obsessed than strategy fortified, always thinking of fixing whatever opposition arises, he was so sure his media control is flawless.  His people trusts in him, he even wrote books about himself and see if it sells?  Just to be sure.  Happily dancing around in his glory, and starts planning his succession.

Alias, the power of the internet, the wired power of thoughts cannot be control so easily, it is free, it is the speed of light, and unbounded, easily absorbed into neurons like the human iris captures light.  His party popularity starts to slide, oppositions seeing the weakening in votes, another very worrying trend is local talents are migrating.  So much so one minister admitted that botox island is suffering a brain drain.  The dictator decided this will not do, the best minds in the island are losing interests, and if those who dont leave stay and become oppostions, he is doomed.

Light bulb, the initial years of success was 1st generation immigrants under the Empire Republic, these immigrants came from 3rd world countries for a better life, without much education, willing to work on the cheap.  These are the morons who voted him into power than, all he had to do was sweeten the deal make them feel at home, lease them a place to stay to call their own, but the govt still hold on to all the title deeds.  What better way to revived the good old days with similar 3rd world country pumpkins to vote himself in again, smart people wont listen to his crap, at least there are still lots of desperate 3rd world immigrants who would?  And so began the desperate plan of flooding botox island with 3rd world immigrants who cant think, dont bother, as long as they vote him.  Lets diffuse the intelligent locals with dummies, we need dummies, lots and lots of it!!!

It doesnt matter if the smart locals are better qualified or experience, he crippled them with taxing pension funds and hyperinflated leased homes to handicap them.  Take it or leave it he says, he just wants dummies all the same.  When a country resorts to dummies to vote them in, you know this island is basically clueless and digging its own grave.

The Age of Stupids

Imagine a band of dictators who just got over the crazy 2 world wars of devastation and conquer and divide, gain control of countries, so obsessed with power, makes use of media to herd the people that they are perfect, flawless, what these band of leaders say is the gospel truth.  Once this mindset is set, they would have absolute control of the nation's assets, for the media has already portray what they say is the truth.

40 years later, the internet has a revolution, social media, the sharing of information never before done on cyberspace.  Information can be shared free across borders, unrestricted, uncensored or even be seen by the govt.  This revolution breaks down the govt control media stronghold on the truths.  People began to join the pieces of the jigsaw, the half truths reveal to be distorted facts.  The more people open up and share, the more distorted facts are revealed, the food chain is compromise, the vaccines are compromise, heck even cancer can be cured without chemo-radio treatments!!!  How far fetched is that?  Who to believe?  40 years of dogmatic censored data imprinted on your minds, and now your best friend, most trusted friends brings you undisputable proofs of their findings, ideas, and the way you should lead your life.

Havnt you ever thought what would it be like if you hadnt follow the herd, following the herd where have it landed you?  Are you happy?  Do you FEEL FREE?  Search deep inside  your true feelings, discard the logic, for that logic was fabricated and inprint onto you with years of sublimal messages through education, media, television, newspaper.

Its one small step for you, but one big step for mankind's break from corporate slavery.  Welcome to the Matrix!

 A fine researched example how media perception clouds your logic. So my note above doesnt seem so far fetch after all. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1392900100924402
