the time machine

[freethinker]

anyone remember HG Wells "the time machine"? when the dr goes way into the future, and he finds a bunch of people just sitting around eating and playing, and basically doing nothing. they can't read, or write, have no work to do, nothing to apply themselves and not a thought in their pretty little heads. the doctor says they are nothing but a bunch of children. all of the work that civilization had devoloped over the centuries was lost. they didn't need it everything they needed seemed to be just provided to them... by who?

turns out they were the eloi and like sheep to be slaughtered, food for the monsters -the morlocks, humans that had evolved, just a bit differently. they learned to feed and water their brethren on a rich diet of ignorance and sloth

bear any similarity to the mentality of the masses today? can you too see things moving in that direction? can you see the loss of independent thought, the circumvention of tradition, the lack of questioning, that a banding together into a culture of know-nothings? all in preparation to be devoured by our fellow man, er uh, the monsters out there

fewer and fewer minds can understand the nature of the situation they live in... living amongst the eloi and the morlocks of today.

those that can, kind of makes you feel like this

That is the true tragedy of today's Just in time and i want it now society; their dreams have come true or should i say nightmares. Almost anything is available at the push of the button but people do not understand what goes on behind the scenes. Basic math skills are completely lost, science etc because you can get a machine to do it. Also common sense is being replaced by mass sense, in other words if everyone is doing it then its okay and acceptable. the way to make things look good now is to somehow convince the masses to accept it if they do then you can sell anything and it will be accepted. Without knowing it the world has lost what made it strong in the first place, the desire to have everything ready made and done for them has shut down their mental facilities. Public education killed any traces of common sense as it taught watered down history and almost no geography and instilled communistic ( work for the group ideologies) attitudes in the individuals.

There is and never was any hope and there will never be any hope to save the masses; they will always be treated as canon fodder the only way to win is to change yourself and align yourself with similar minds.

I've found myself frustrated with many issues mentioned here. It's reassuring to see I'm not alone and helpful to find out how others handle them.
