"This is the way the world ends,
this is the way the world ends,
not with a bang, but with a whimper."
- T.S. Elliot, The Hollow Men
For a long time now I have been looking around the world today and lamenting the fact we are getting stupider and stupider. Below I review a video via my Rage Quit Chess channel, whereby a woman who works with dangerous reptiles, decides to put her hand right by an angry looking one's mouth.
Should I in fact be happy with this level of stupid? Maybe this is about thinning the herd . . . This is what the Darwin Awards are for.

You would hope the stupid gene would die out. I heard today of a guy in Brazil died after being shot by his own gun that he took into an MRI scanner room after being told to remove metal objects.
Stupidity knows no bounds!! 🤦🏾♂️

With each day that passes, I get the impression that the movie "Idiocracy" is frighteningly closer to the mark than ever before...
I know! It's truly frightening.

I don't know how it is driving there but here in America I see the worst of it when I'm behind the wheel in traffic. Soon humanity will need to be integrated with AI just to function. Hope you and the family are well. We're heading over to Ireland in September, ten days in Dublin, Galway, and Cork.
Ha! Yeah driving brings out the worst in people. Yeah we're well, would love to see you guys if poss, if not have an amazing time in the Emerald Isle, and sink a few Guinesses for me 😉

Oh man, driving here where we live is an adventure -- every, single, time. Thanks! I really wish we could make it to London this time but we're flying in and out of Dublin then staying in Galway and Cork for a few nights each. We plan on making it back to Londontown soon though and I'll let you know as soon as we have dates for that trip. It'd be great to hang out again. I was joking with my wife that I'll need a dry August to prep my liver for the Ireland trip in September!
Well natural selection is certainly a thing! People with these foolish actions will eventually get the consequences of said actions.
But will they bring the rest of us down with them?

I would add it's the way they want it .. easier to coral sheeple than unique
Two things
Because of the current cosmic rays going around the sun people are finding it harder to think clearly. These cosmic rays that used to be blocked by the sun's corona are now getting by because of solar minimum.
The Corona virus VAXXX is messing people up. Lowering immune systems and causing blood clots everywhere. Mental processing is being impeded due to lack of oxygen to the brain. A person i follow often says that VAXXXidents are up.
Indeed, although I don't think we need those excuses.

We don't need those excuses? Wait? I got a whole bunch more excuses, i could make a list.... 😝
