I struggled with the problem of having nothing to say for the longest time, and when I did mistakenly think that I had a few words to give, all I could really share was an empty void carefully disguised to appear full of useful information. But wait a second...Today I think i have something to say.I been thinking about random philosophical stuff. Like for instance.
This evening I arrived to an interesting conclusion that I though must immediately be shouted over the Internet so that the rest of the masses can finally see the emergence of true genius or rather the extinction thereof. I was always great at stating the obvious but today I've outdone myself to actually for an insightful opinion about all things in life we take for granted.
Take electricity for example. The world without it is simply impossible to imagine. Taking away electricity from society would be similar to cutting off both your arms and forcing you to do labor that requires your hands. When kids are born into this world, by the time they get to a certain age they simply assume that this magical force that makes the lights spark and the TV blink is simply part of the fabric of their existence. If you think of it, these days by the time a child reaches the age of 7 they would already have acquired the knowledge that took humanity thousands of years to comprehend. The babies exist in a state of information overload from essentially day one and only the ones that find means of coping with this overwhelming amount of knowledge are the ones who are going to be coined the geniuses of the 21st century, the agents of change and the catalysts of new discoveries that better the humankind.
Sadly, those that are fortunate enough to be enlightened represent only a tiniest fraction of the worlds population. What will happen to those of us who are mediocre and who fail to question and try to understand the very underlying knowledge behind technology that powers our lives? I don't know. We may end up just having armies of sheep following each other trying to imitate each others successes, fighting over the scarce territory of opportunity. The sad fact is that the creative capacities of many are simply overshadowed by those who can digest and absorb all the intellectual nutrients that are practically shoved down our throats as we continue to live in this chaotic blizzard of information. So is there a moral to this rant? Probably not, I just feel sorry for the countless generations to come. Because, face it, our quest for knowledge as a species will never end, the intellectual competition will only get more fierce and innovation will become exponentially harder. All I have to say is good luck to future innovators, and may the present ones survive their own battles of intellectual warfare.
