Is the world getting stupider, or what?

In this modern era of information and technology, ironically, stupidly reins supreme. We settle for inferior, cars in the form of 4WDs, they pretty much don't do anything as well as a car, oh other than running off the road. How many single car accidents do you see where the driver has lost control of their 4WD at speed? 

We settle for 2nd rate politicians who are more often than not bought off by big business, (if anybody wants to talk about it, or not) making decisions for their monied donors and their own political future. Political donations should be banned, it is that simple. We aspire to political ideologies that we will never achieve, the workers voting for the right wing parties because it is the closest they will ever get to being wealthy. 

The anti vaccination brigade must be the stupidest bunch of people around at the present. All the medical evidence in the world to back up the latest medical advancements and yet people see fit to know better than the medical fraternity. Get your little sprogs vaccinated and do the world a fucking favour you Idiots. 

The divide between rich and poor is getting wider and wider and wider. 85 people at the top of the economic ladder have more wealth that the bottom 25% of the world population. 

It is probably part of, if not the reason for terrorism in the world today. Terrorism has to be about inequality, it has to be about groups of people who feel they are being treated less favourably, who feel they are left behind by the big business controlled world. Feeling disenfranchised must lead to acting out against the society who disenfranchised you.

The planet is dying, arguably we are at the no return tipping point, and yet people chose to believe the climate change deniers because it fits with their own lifestyle choices. 

"If I believe the climate sceptics, I can drive a 4WD without any guilt." And that takes us back to our first point.

On their 18th birthdays, I think stupid people should be issued with Mercedes ML63 AMG's, a cachet of guns and loaded syringes to vaccinate their own children. The world would be a better place for it.

The planet is being poisoned by us and we are encouraged to consume more for the good of the economy, in other words, the good of the wealthy.

We now shop for entertainment.

We have the internet at our disposal and what do we do with it? We post cat videos.

Half the world doesn't have access to clean, usable water and the other half of the world is eating itself to death.
