Idiot Sapiens
Is it just me, or doesn’t it seem like people’s IQs drop as soon as they leave the house? I’m serious, how do some people keep on keeping on? Take for example this cat I know named Ricky. He fucked up his foot in a car accident, and the good doc gave him some penicillin for it. His foot was gangly as fuck… had stitches and shit in it from the surgery. Anyway, Ricky, the idiot, decided to break open the pills, and put the shit on his cuts... yes, penicillin... the fungus... on a cut…
Well, his foot got infected, and one doctor first just wanted to cut it off, but ended up saving it instead.
This dumb shit proves to me that Darwin was WRONG.
IDIOT, n.
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
~ Ambrose Bierce
Bierce was right on the money. Just look around your town, look at your co-workers and look at your classmates (for all you children reading this even though you shouldn’t be this bitter yet). You will see all these moronic people that should have weeded themselves out of the human gene pool LONG AGO.
Drivers talking on their phones while putting on makeup. Drivers reading the newspaper at the light. These people cause accidents where they sometimes die, and in those cases Darwin was right about the Natural Selection. But at the same time they take out a few regular folks just trying to get somewhere. Biggest problem is that most of these idiot drivers do not die, just cause destruction in their wakes as they drive on unaware. These assholes that don’t die never learn their lesson. You, faithful readers, know who these people are.
Darwin says that the weak inevitably thin themselves out of the gene pool - but why is it then that in the 20th century we did not see a Mozart, a Nietzsche, or even a goddamn Byron? No, we saw the rise of mediocrity and the loss of reason - which is a goddamn shame, really. The so called poets are now “musicians” and the philosophers are “motivational speakers”. It used to be that Philosophy was telling it like it is, now instead it is to make people feel good about themselves. These days you need a degree to prove to the world that you have a right to think, validating any dumbass with a diploma on the wall. I guess that makes me a brain dead motherfucker. But that’s fine. Some clubs I just won’t join.
The only field I can see that is still alive is Fictional Writing. Since this century is still too young to produce anyone, I am going to pretend that it is still the 1900’s, because I am wired like that. Let’s step into the Way Back Machine and see what we had:
H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Robert E Howard, Isaac Asimov, J.R.R. Tolkien, Frank Herbert, Anne Rice… Well, shit... just look at any bookstore and you will see. People love to read, and it is such a shame that whoever said it makes people smarter was dead wrong. It does NOT make people smarter, it is just that smart people mostly choose to read. But back on topic...
My theory is that the previously so dominating smart are being weeded out by the previously so self-terminating stupid. The roles are reversed these days. It seems that the smart folks have to dumb themselves down to get anywhere in life, whereas we make excuses for dumb people and cater to idiots. The world is a handicap toilet and The Idiot is hell bent on destroying my goddamn ivory tower! THIS WILL NOT FUCKING STAND! I, myself, live in a self imposed fantasy land... damn, I just saw a baby with two heads.... I also had a dream that my little brother turned into a rat, which is strange because I don’t have a little brother. GODDAMN IT! That shit was creepy as hell. I don’t know what I would do if I had a kid born like that. The days of the circus freaks are over, so that’s out. Makes me want to adopt, just to bypass THAT whole scare.
Anyway, I know the Idiot will never be wiped out - unless there is a Zombie Holocaust or I get to be in charge of the world (That is scarier than thinking of you as an adoptive parent – Editor’s note), and in that case cities will fucking CRUMBLE at my whim! Better believe it! Entire peoples will perish... Then I would put philosophers on the thrones of every kingdom. PAX CARMANUS is what this will be called, because there was a copy right issue with the name of my old page, Vomitus Maximus.
But, I guess I will have to suffer with Project Udo instead, and see what the maximum is that I can get away with… without being arrested. Damn laws...
