Finally they see the light!

Browsing BBC website I came upon this article. Finally them analysts started to acknowledge that janitors and social workers worth more than bankers and lawyers. In other words, they (finally!) understood that people doing real hard work need to be paid more and parasites paid less.

You know, there's something inherently unfair in our consumerist, post-capitalism society. All media teach us that hard work is stupid and the only thing worth fighting for is fame and easy money. If you are ready to humiliate yourself on TV, you can become that peculiar thing called celebrity. Otherwise you are nobody. We have taken the path to evolutionary dead end.

As I watch TV or read the news, I see more and more modern shamans, fortunetellers, religious zealots who come strait from Dark Ages. Everything is being dumbed down, cut to small, easy-to-swallow pieces. Western society is happily embracing that monkey within which tells us to stop thinking and just follow that alpha male (Or female. Or some gender-confused alpha... being).

It takes ugly forms sometimes. In my country there's a TV show where some self-proclaimed healer (plumber or handyman by trade) teaches people how to cure everything from pimples to diabetes via magic of urine therapy. There are plenty of dead bodies already, but that show is still on air.

Western TV seems to be dominated by the same sort of crap. We are being fed the same old bullshit over and over, only more sex and crap and gore is added each time (the monkey within just loves sex and filth!). More and more humanoid mannequins are famous for being famous (White House party gatecrashers anyone?), being empty nothings otherwise.

I hope that the report I mentioned above will make people think. Think about the value they can bring to the society. Think about being somebody who does the real work, not being a parasite. Make them remember the fate of the Eloi in H. G. Wells' "The Time Machine". They were just cattle for ugly (but hard-working!) Morloks...
