RE: Natural Selection in Times of the Smartphone
Hahaha I agree, most of these idiotic influences come from wester civilization, i.e. the US. I'm actually FROM the US and these things still stun me.
It's hard for me to wrap my mind around how this is a thing, what possesses a person to say, "Yup, I'ma eat that today"?!
On a side note; if the stuff inside these pods are so poisonous, why the fuck are we using them to "clean" the plates that we are going to eat off of?!
Oh God, you completely killed me this time man xD. Best comment ever.
Jokes aside I believe it is because there is the great distance between people in terms of relationships. And the "class" thing or "popular peeps" (between the young mostly). Social phenomena like these make people be extremely alone or feeling that they don't belong to any group of people or tribe. And since human animal is a social being, most of solitaire non-alpha ones would do ANYTHING for belonging to a tribe and be respected or considered part of a group.
This includes not thinking, such as we saw earlier.
I think this is a problem from the society itself. Which means education and habits and culture. I think this doesn't really have anything to do with intelligence (or lack of it).
I must admit that I would like to spend some time living in US to talk with the people and interact with most of them. Just to understand what is going on in this society. Because I can only speak from very few people I met and the filter of this globalization device called internet.
Hahaha!
I agree with everything you said, it truly is herd mentality and tue desire to fit in and feel important.
After spending 3 years in Chile, it's easy to see how western civilization screws up the entire world....but that's what the "they" of the world want, so I'm sure it will just continue to get worse.
