I have tried to be nicer to people, this was one of my main character building goals that I made a few years ago. I have tried to be more open minded and understanding to people as well. I know that I am not perfect and that I have my weaknesses as well. But as of late I think I have fallen to being too nice and friendly to people. And that I have been giving people respect without them earning it.
If you have not seen the movie Idiotacracy with Owen Wilson in it, you must see it. When you look at the society we live in and think about that movies, you will become very scared. The premise is that two average people are put in stasis and then forgotten about. They come out of stasis in a world that they are the most intelligent people alive. While they were asleep the stupid people have been out breeding the more educated couples. Soon the world is over populated with idiots that have no concept of culture. Yet today I see that movie coming true now, society has been showing me the vast number of people are under-educated, short minded, and low standards.
I recently have seen watching some YouTube videos that make me look down on the last two generations. Not all people younger than me are allowing themselves to become just another mindless soul. I do see some wonderful videos on YouTube and well written comments by many people.
I asked a question in Facebook about people disabling their YouTube ratings on their videos. 12 people including myself have never disabled any video uploads. But currently 5 people to disable all ratings and comments on videos. They have the options, and it is their account so they can do as they want. It is the comments that I seen that bother me. Some people stated that 'They don't give a fuck what others think about their videos". They do the videos for themselves and a few friends. But they post their videos to the public. They view comments from strangers as being worthless. I have read many reports that the social skills of the young generation are going downhill fast. Well here is the proof to me.
I also recently made a video about etiquette when making videos. I was making the suggestion of trying to make a good impression when making a video. And some of the same people said that they will make a video however they like and they will cuss if they want to. I know that words are only offensive if you are the one taking offense. But these videos do fall under public speaking and if you have a point to make, put your best foot forward and make a great video. I had a could of response videos to this video and I got some disturbing attitudes and poor dancing. When I think about the future, I think I am going to have to take care of these people, because they seem to lack the ability and intelligence to do it themselves.
Today I saw a video that made me want to cry. There is a young lady that posted a video about the new pagan tradition that she has created. She called it the IDGAF tradition, or the I Don't Give A Fuck tradition. And she is wanting people to take her serious. How can anyone take something of this magnitude serious. I think about the words in the title will cross over to any ritual that they try and it will backfire on a grand scale. Call out Hecate to do something with the "I don't give a fuck" attitude and very bad energy will cause havoc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd7-f76iFDw
I am just feeling that there are too many under-educated pagans that are giving other pagans a bad name. I feel that this will blow-up not only in their face but ours as well. These young ladies seem to lack discipline and understanding of the world around them.
I watched an amazing video by Neil Tyson Degrasse, he was talking about intelligent design and sciences. He explained that when certain cultures are dominate in certain fields of education they are able to apply names to various aspects of that subject. The Numbers that we use today are Arabic, Algebra is an Arabic word as well. Back in the 800's to 1100's the cultural center for math development was Bagdad. So they were able to apply the names to mathematical terms. Why did the culture decline and stopped being so advanced in math? In the 1200's a new Muslim Iman came to power, her saw math as evil and started to focus on religious only concepts. Back in the 1960's-1990's the US was the dominate culture in sciences and nuclear sciences in particular. Thus there is an element call Californium. But look what is happening in the US over recent years. religious people are throwing their beliefs into politics and it is destroying the nation most of us love greatly.
And there is only one way to fix this. We have to educate ourselves and others. . We have to go to war on ignorance. People scare me because there are people that are making comments of scientific principles and calling them wrong. We have people that have not finish high school calling out the college educated on complex topics. People that can't put together a complete sentence or use punctuation are telling scientists that they don't know what they are talking about. I try to think outside of the box and I tell some people about my ideas, but I tell them that I am only putting out an idea or an opinion. \
Being stupid is no longer an option that we can allow others to be. We have to install a need to be better educated and understand the need to work with others for the advancement of society and the world we all live on. It is unfortunately just like an image I have seen on Facebook. "Crazy people don't understand that they are crazy, stupid people are the same way". So too many of these people in society don't understand that they are under educated and part of society's problems. So go out there and learn something and try to teach others need your insight.
