Is the world heading towards Stupidityville?

Wau!!! Iiiiiiiiiii!!!

A serious question is if we can jump off this wagon heading where we really do not want to end.

How fast are we approaching destination?

Any stops on the way?

Can we get off?

 

a) journey is too fast and too pleasant

b) we travel first class

c) all my friends are on this train

d) everybody loves me on this train

 

If you check surrounding countryside, you may notice we are already there. We can do a simple experiment. Send a tweet to your loving partner, standing next to you, watching amazing sunset. “Iiiiiiii, fab sunset!!!” When you see your partner googling for pics of fab sunsets, you'll know destination Stupidityville has been reached.

Is it so bad?

No.

It's worse.

 

I've seen ghost of George Orwell, watching this train taking humanity into oblivion, crying helplessly. And all the artists, writers, poets, even two philosophers..., they simply couldn't get the meaning of Ha!!!, Wau!!!, Iiiiiiii... and similar eloquent onomatopoetic expressions, that denote all the mysterious depths of our souls today.

 

There is a proposal of an EU / USA directive to throw certain types of heretics on e-stakes and burn them.

The worst and most dangerous to our brave new world are:

 

Individuals soaking in different shades of green in their garden, while listening to crying of Mark Knopfler's Fender Stratocaster guitar...

Crazy highlanders, enjoying the snow covered paths in the Alps or sipping mocha under palm trees in a small, medieval Mediterranean coastal town and relishing the good company...

Maniacs willing to read a book after book, taking a walk after walk, a road-trip after road-trip, still operating on the weird assumptions that best interface for human to human interaction are fingers touching fingers, not the screen...

 

Somehow, I've never been a devoted fan of big crowds. Either yelling at football matches, screaming with a bunch of illiterate revolutionaries, posting five times a day stupidities on antisocial networks, crowding on a Rio de Janeiro beaches...

Joining hordes of e-community for the sake of being e-compatible with society? No, thank you.

 

A few trusted friends, some good, old immorality, some wise cats to remind me of priorities in life, some good dives, some chili in my meals, some shameless waste of time – and life makes sense.
