not only...
When I was a child, a small skinny kid, who got bullied a bunch...
I always wondered why I my peers looked down on intelligence and glorified brutish thugs. It was not and still isn't good to be a smart kid in the US, far more cool to be a brute. You'll have more 'friends'.
I asked myself and others around me "what kind of an adult society could we expect to rise from this?" Well, here we are.
Its still a valid question, and the answer is a society that is GROSSLY over-entertained and PITIFULLY under-educated, the kind of people who can be led by a leash into whichever conflict their loving overlords wish to undertake for fun and profit.
On a related note: I flagged my first post.
Started out reasonable but quickly submerged into the depths of pure lunacy when it said the sky sun and moon were fake and earth is obviously flat. Nasa does nothing more than keep us 'believing' nonsense with all their water tank fakery!!
I couldn't hit the flag button quickly enough.
We are conditioned to remain stupefied and content with our sports and porno.
