Apparently, the George Carlin video that broke the thread was protecting us from BS.

Not surprised.

I didn't see the thread but this morning I started a thought document on what is the future of humanity which was sparked by a Japanese youtube video on how Japan's traditional food culture is disappearing.

Apparently the world, not just the U.S. is spiraling down to a lowest common denominator cultural identity where excellence is eschewed for time, ease and convenience.

So 2024 should be an interesting year to put together a proper thesis on the subject.

Wall-E wasn't just a cool movie about a little robot, it was a prophecy.

I tried to fix it, but no joy.

This was not a content related deletion.

I watched the first episode this evening,
and a little over half of the second.
That was more than enough.
No one really believes this stuff, do they?

The guy takes 1% fact, wraps it in exaggeration,
smears it with distortion and buries it under a load
of plain old fabrications and falsehoods and acts like
everyone else is wrong for not believing him.
Complete and total nonsense.
