The process
of ageing
is one of
lifting the
veils, one by
one, that hide
the number
of stupid
people
in the world,
until you
see clearly
the horror,
then you die.

Brave new world
If you think after
Coronavirus,
corporations
will stop
exploiting
workers,
will stop
trashing
the world,
will stop
supporting
wars,
will stop
buying
elections,
will start
paying
taxes,
you’re living
in a parallel
universe.
Stupid is as
No one I ever
met, in the course
of my long life,
was as stupid
as Donald Trump,
and believe me
there were some
strong contenders.
Doubtful
I doubt the
benefit of
giving most
people the
benefit of
the doubt
If only they had known
The human race
is in the
position the
dinosaur race
was in some
25 years
before the
impact of the
Chicxulub
meteor.
Robotics
Religious
Robots is a
better name for
fundamentalists
of all
religions
World view
There is a real world
described by science;
and then there are
many imaginary worlds,
described by religion,
and politics,
and astrology,
and the media,
and psychics,
and economists,
and ideology,
and common
sense.
Get a life
Hard to take
seriously an
imaginary
being who wants
his (yes his)
followers to
be primarily
concerned with
their dead
epidermal cells:
their colour, their
arrangement,
who can see tnem,
and which bits can
be rubbed
together by which
people.
System failure
Capitalism
is the best
system for
making a small
number of
people very rich.
Slavery
is the
second best.
Value of nothing
Politicians
and journalists
always demand to
know, and then
reject, the cost of
measures to conserve
the environment.
But neither ever
ask the cost
of war.
