Aint Modern Medicine Wonderful?

So I had this conversation the other day about idiots. Introductions out of their way...the meat of the conversation was that we are actually making the world stupider with all the advances in modern medicine. The proof is in the picture...


OK - the real proof: think about this. In medieval times a person was expected to live under 40 years - for the most part the average lifespan was only 33 years...less if the person was really stupid. That means that stupid people have less time to reproduce other stupid people - thats a very good thing. Unfortunately, modern medicine allows these stupid people to live on, reproduce more often and more, and then get senile enough to mess sane people up still more as the respirator and dialysis machines keep gramma going. I'm not anti-old, but I am anit-idiot. America is especially bad at creating idiots - reason you ask?

America doesn't actually creates stupider people, we just let them speak. WE NEED IDIOT POLICE! We can call it the intellect patrol or something actually witty. I don't mind if you voice your opinion - the 1st Amendment is great, but people seriously need to start checking at least 50% of their facts before they about how crappy our country is and start blaming he/she/them/their/they for the problems that this world has. Maybe we just need to start sending people on vacations to Iraq when they do something idiotic in public.

I would tend to blame mass media for stupidity before I would blame modern medicine. (The "dumbing-down" of society) When I read about the people of 150 years ago and their attention spans and literacy skills, they look like Ph.D. graduates compared to today's average American. Neil Postman has some great books about this subject. One is titled "Amusing Ourselves To Death." If you'd like to read it, I'll loan it to you.

ONe of the best points that Postman makes is that there's tons of information being transmitted by the media, but none of it is useful; water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.

alas, I could never be a politician. I am honest and trustworthy, not to mention that I have a spine.
