Why I'm Mad that I'm Dumb - And You Probably Should be Too.

I have a decent IQ:  Above average but not close to genius.  I'm what a genius would call a mid-wit.

But I'm dumb.  And so are most of you.

Public School is useless.  Here's my anecdotal evidence.

How many useless days did you spend watching videos so you could "write down 20 facts" on a sheet that the teacher would then lazily gaze at and confirm that, indeed, you wrote down 20 things.  How many days did you spend memorizing useless bullshit that you don't remember.  I know from reading most people's posts that the HUNDREDS of hours spent literally conscripting grammar textbooks didn't do you any fucking good.

And yet, after spending 11 YEARS in school, I learned nothing about the REAL knowledge necessary to understand the outside impacts on my life.  I didn't learn personal finance.  I didn't learn corporate finance.  I didn't learn how to tell what my dollar is worth.  I didn't learn what inflation or deflation was.  I didn't learn about hot vs cold wars.  I didn't learn how our nation declares war.  I didn't learn anything about the Civil War except it was slavery vs non-slavery (bullshit).  I didn't learn anything about the tax code or Teachers Unions or corporate bailouts.

Yet, I skated through all that.  High relative IQ and I got the grades I needed to keep alive and do well enough on tests to meet societal standards.  I felt smart.

Then I met the internet.  In a real fashion, I started seeking out smarter people than me, and I realized how much I had been mislead - how stupid I was.  My teachers were not paragons of wisdom, they were idiots fed by a bloated state that is intentionally keeping people dumb and making it impossible to fire dumb teachers.

Think it's all bullshit?  Well, here's Bill Ivey, former Clinton Administration Official E-Mailing current Clinton campaign head John Podesta

"And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry"

Or, as Lupe put it -

"Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up"

You Can't Force Memes

Married couples try to show interest in their partners preferred interest.  A man, for instance, will know his wife's favorite singer on X-factor.  A woman, for instance, will know her Husbands' favorite team in football.  They don't REALLY know that Celo was a fantastic artist or that Devin Hester holds the world record for touchdowns scored on kick-off and punt returns.  They just have a vague idea of where their spouse is mentally.

That's kind of how America is.  Politics and political decisions that effect all of us are really just an after-thought to most people.  I don't begrudge them, it's easy to see it as boring.

But now we're in the final stages.  Celo has his last chance at making his girl a star and Devin is in the Super-Bowl ready to run it in for a win - The spouse is paying attention.

So now that you're paying attention, I have some HILARIOUS shit to share with you.

Most millenials don't watch TV like their parents did.  Most news is preferred over text, that is, social media.  Donald had a HUGE following on social media sites.  Bernie did too.  Take a look at www.reddit.com/r/the_donald and compare it to www.reddit.com/Hillary_clinton

It's no contest.  That's a problem for Hillary Clinton.  We produce thousands of memes a day and we're influencing people with those memes.

Hilldawg (as she will henceforth be known) needs an opposition to the meme warfare.

So she hired them.  Literally.  There's a bunch of people in their cubicles typing away trying to out-meme Trump supporters.

They're called "Correct The Record" (much Orwellian, jeez).

They are literally paid to out-meme Trump Supporters.

Today, hilariously, a group called Wikileaks (Notorious group that leaks classified/secret/hidden documents to the public) released a batch of emails from the Hilldawg campaign.  Among those emails was this tidbit describing the people that make up Correct The Record team:

"Correct the Record’s staff (18 and counting) is crammed into a newsroom-style bullpen in the back corner of the offices of American Bridge 21st Century, Brock’s Super-PAC. “They’re always there; they’re always working around the clock,” former Clinton White House adviser Paul Begala says of the crew. “I always tease David that he finds all of these nerd virgins and locks them away in a vault where they never see sunlight or have a drink or get laid. But God Bless them!”


HAHAHAHAHA.  THEY TRIED TO FORCE MEMES AND THEIR OWN PEOPLE VIEW THEM AS VIRGINS THAT DON'T SEE SUNLIGHT.

Forcing memes is anti-memetic warfare 101.  We do it for free because we love our country, and those savages have just been sacrificed by their own employers.  Throw their corpses on the pyre of political correctness.

THE RECORD HAS BEEN CORRECTED
