Post Re: How can we be so dumb?
With our intelligence quotients expanding ever higher, thanks to an educational system par excellence, it is heartening to see our young geniuses thinking of innovative new ways to express their political views with startling finality.

Quote:
As reported previously, 2 students at The University of California stated that they would publicly remove their penis’ if Trump enforced the existing USA-Mexico border wall. In a continuance of this trend, 4 students at the University of Washington have promised to remove pieces of their reproductive anatomy if Trump builds the wall.

Washington Sophomore Trent Griliphaen said he was inspired by the movement at The University of California, and that he “thinks that Trump’s construction of the wall is just an extension of his penis, and an expression of Patriarchal rape culture. Really, by building the wall, we are raping the Mexican people, and I am no longer willing to be a perpetrator of rape culture. If I remove my penis, I am making a statement that I reject this mentality.” -- source

I am pretty sure that the plural of penis is penises and not penis’. Evidently the educational curriculum was different back in the 60s and 70s when I was going to school. Grammar had rules back then, and apostrophes were used for possessive and contractions, not plurals. Sadly, today's young geniuses probably have no idea what I just said. That might explain the brilliance of our young generation, who may not be reproducing as prodigiously as prior generations, should they "protest too much". Maybe that's what Darwin had in mind with his "survival of the fittest" observation.

That was "fake news", wasn't it? Hard to tell when you can't believe anything any more.

The US military has become the biggest polluter domestically and internationally, a new report says, warning that hundreds of American military bases across the world are “gravely contaminated.”

The US Defense Department alone produces more hazardous waste than the five largest US chemical companies combined, creating a toxic trail over the world comprised of depleted uranium, oil, jet fuel, pesticides, defoliants like Agent Orange and lead, MintPress News reported Monday.

“Almost every military site in this country is seriously contaminated,” retired Michigan congressman and war veteran John D. Dingell told Newsweek in 2014, the same year the Pentagon admitted that it had to deal with 39,000 contaminated areas spread across 19 million acres just in the US.

Iraq is a more recent example. A research in 2010 revealed that the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and the following occupation of the country led to severe desertification of 90 percent of the land, turning the Arab country from a food exporter into a country that imports 80 percent of the food its people need.

Holding the record for most nuclear weapons tests—more than all other nations combined— the US military is also responsible for the huge amount of radiation that continues to contaminate a large number of islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Last November, the US Navy announced that it was planning to release some 20,000 tons of heavy metals and explosives, among other pollutants, into the coastal waters of the US Pacific Northwest through 2017. -- source

Note that "heavy metals" is a way to say "radioactive waste" without triggering anyone's ethical outrage.

The U.S. military is out of control in more ways than one. Truth be told, it's not technically "out of control". It's very tightly controlled, by sociopaths.

I read an interesting article on hemp that made me think. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Quote:
Had Henry Ford got his way, our oceans and waterways would not be filling up with vast islands of plastic non-degradable waste, as they are today, or landfills leeching poisons into our soil and water tables, because plastics derived from hemp degrade perfectly well. -- source

Biodegradable plastics made from hemp? An idea whose time has come! What are we waiting for?

I have written about the wonders of hemp before here. I have also written about the sea bird deaths caused by plastic, as well as the ocean gyres where plastic waste accumulates in massive quantities. So when I got to thinking about biodegradable plastic made from hemp, I began to realize how we can be so dumb. It's not what you are probably thinking, either.

In 1978, I was one lab away from graduating with a B.A. in organic chemistry. If I remember correctly, that lab course was something crazy, like 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. I was sitting in the lab, wondering how I could stay cooped up like this indoors when the sunny, deep blue Colorado skies were calling me outside. And I realized I couldn't do it. I dropped the lab, threw away my nearly completed major, and continued my personal development as a rebel, independent thinker.

But I haven't forgotten all of my organic chemistry. A plastic, like polypropylene, doesn't care what the source of its carbon atoms is. It can be wood, it can be petroleum, or it can be hemp. Regardless of where the carbon atoms come from, the end product, the plastic itself, is the same. Its biodegradable properties are the same as well, because its chemical structure is the same, e.g. it's polypropylene.

So plastic, whether it is made from petroleum or hemp, is plastic. Its ability to degrade in the natural environment doesn't change! Any biodegradable plastic that can be made from hemp can also be made from petroleum. So being derived from hemp doesn't make a particular plastic biodegrade any better than the same plastic made from petroleum.

But the article claims otherwise, and I will bet 99% of the people who read the article will accept the claim as truth without any hesitation.

And that's how we can be so dumb.

Sixty-five percent of the eighth graders in American public schools in 2017 were not proficient in reading and 67 percent were not proficient in mathematics, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress test results released by the U.S. Department of Education. -- source

The dumbing-down of America is progressing nicely. Each generation will be more sheep-like than the preceding generation, and easier to herd like... well, sheep.

"Sheeple" is not such bad replacement for "people" after all. Especially to the ruling sociopaths.

I reported here on the Pacific Ocean gyre where plastic garbage is wreaking havoc.

Linda Moulton Howe has also reported on this.

Quote:
Linda: DO YOU HAVE A STATISTIC ON HOW MANY WHALES, SEALS, ALL OF THE MARINE CREATURES ARE DYING EACH YEAR NOW FROM THIS SYNDROME OF CONSUMING SO MUCH PLASTIC?

Boyan: Yeah. The statistics say that some 300,000+ marine mammals and a million+ seabirds each year die from this phenomenon.

Linda: EATING PLASTIC.

Boyan: Correct.

Whales are dying from plastic ingestion as well.

Quote:
A whale in Thailand died after ingesting over 80 plastic bags. An autopsy on the pilot whale, which was found in a canal in the southern province of Songkhla, revealed that its gut was packed to capacity with trash bags. -- source

Most of the animals that die from plastic ingestion or Fukushima radiation or complications caused by either will never be known. We won't know about the damage our pollution is doing until it's too late.

It makes you wonder how we could be so dumb.

I'll tell you how we can be so dumb — we allow sociopaths to be our leaders. We allow them to convince us to do anything for money, and we allow them to convince us that money always makes the best decisions.

I am so ashamed of my own species that I think we should become extinct. And soon.

Watch this.

I have long held that we live in an insane world. It is insane, I believe, because we do not manage our most mentally ill individuals — the sociopaths. Instead, we make them our leaders. As a result, we get the harvest they convince us to sow.

Following the lead that sociopaths offer always flirts with self-destruction, even extinction. So I may get my wish because of the very problem I wish to solve. Sociopaths are the root of the problem. If we don't learn to manage them effectively, they will manage us, all of us including them, into extinction.

Quote:
By “near-term,” I mean quite possibly within my lifetime (I am 29 years old) and even more probably within the 21st century in general. By “extinction,” I mean to evoke the simplest sense of that word – complete disappearance of humans from existence – but, more accurately, I mean something like “sudden, drastic reduction or even total eradication of human population concomitant with the collapse of complex advanced industrial society.” -- source

It's coming.

Unless we, as a species, take steps to change course, we will go down the drain we are circling.

Justin Trudeau is in trouble — big trouble. But who could ever have guessed that the media darling and international poster-boy for progressivism was actually just another snake in the grass? -- source

Who could ever have guessed? Anyone who understands how sociopaths dominate the top positions of power and control!

So yeah, how can we be so dumb to not see it coming? George H. W. Bush gives us George W. Bush, Pierre Trudeau gives us Justin Trudeau, and other sociopath fathers are going to give us other sociopath sons.

Wanna bet Chelsea Clinton is a sociopath just like her mother?

Quote:
Trudeau and Macron belong to the same breed of politician. When they open their mouths, they appear to be the very antithesis of the likes of Donald Trump, who displays his monstrous nature for all to see. But the Macrons and the Trudeaus of the world are monsters in disguise — and they are just as dangerous. They exhibit extreme arrogance, running around lecturing the world on right and wrong, claiming a position on the moral high-ground. It’s all a bad joke. -- source

It's not a bad joke, people. It's sociopathy. It's sociopaths running our world. It's sociopaths being our leaders. It's sociopaths dominating positions of power and control. It's sociopaths fooling and manipulating us into greater and greater degrees of slavery.

It's sociopaths, and we need to control them, not vice versa.

Quote:
Their so-called progressivism is purely for show. They are, underneath it all, fakes, frauds and liars — talking the talk, but never walking the walk. There are endless examples of Trudeau’s flagrant dishonesty — and the SNC Lavalin scandal is actually far less offensive than some of Trudeau’s other sins against peoplekind. -- source

Sociopaths are always fakes, frauds and liars. It's an integral part of their psychology. Why can't humanity wake up and solve its number one problem of all time? Until it does, humanity is going to be a dead-end species.

The sociopaths' agenda to dumb us down, the one most dumb people dismiss as "conspiracy theory", is actually working quite well.

Quote:
Details vary from study to study and from place to place given the available data. IQ shortfalls in Norway and Denmark appear in longstanding tests of military conscripts, whereas information about France is based on a smaller sample and a different test. But the broad pattern has become clearer: Beginning around the turn of the 21st century, many of the most economically advanced nations began experiencing some kind of decline in IQ.

One potential explanation was quasi-eugenic. As in the movie "Idiocracy," it was suggested that average intelligence is being pulled down because lower-IQ families are having more children ("dysgenic fertility" is the technical term). Alternatively, widening immigration might be bringing less-intelligent newcomers to societies with otherwise higher IQs.

However, a 2018 study of Norway has punctured these theories by showing that IQs are dropping not just across societies but within families. In other words, the issue is not that educated Norwegians are increasingly outnumbered by lower-IQ immigrants or the children of less-educated citizens. Even children born to high-IQ parents are slipping down the IQ ladder. -- source

Well, duh! Did anyone really think the dumbing-down program would fail? The ruling sociopaths are behind this program, and they have a history of getting what they want!

Quote:
Possible explanations include: The rise of smartphones and other devices, which have worn away at our ability to focus, the rise of lower-skill service work that isn't as intellectually stimulating and less-nutritious food. -- source

And maybe chemtrails, Fukushima radioactive fallout, fluoridated drinking water, GMO foods, glyphosate poisoning, dangerous levels of EMF exposure, educational system sabotage, mainstream media propaganda, brain-dead entertainment, pornography, censorship of the truth, false history, persecution of whistle-blowers, massive deception and manipulation, and drug dependency.

This isn't happening by accident, folks. It's a program. We are all being deliberately intellectually anesthetized.
