The Awe Inspiring Power Of Stupidity

Recently I have become overwhelmed by a great wave of stupidosity washing over the Internets. Whether is is Archer Quinn with his 'free energy' device, or Steven Greer with his loving space aliens, or Dumb and Dumber with their Bigfoot body I take a deep breath in awe of the staggering range and quality of stupidity which abounds in our world. But, nothing quite takes the cake as poor, sad, little Eric Dubay on his website where he proudly proclaims that men never landed on the moon, nor did we ever put a rover on Mars. Eric embraces every lunatic conspiracy theory ever invented, including some he invents all by himself.

He is obsessed with the fact that people waggle their fingers in the 'rock-on' or 'Texas longhorn' salute. In that symbol alone he rests comfortably assured that nearly everyone is a Freemason and are all complicit in murder, treason, mayhem, disorder, subterfuge, disinformation, and unmitigated evil. In Eric's world people are fundamentally evil and out to get him.

Eric embraces all of the writings of the maddest of all Internet idiots, Alex Jones.

And this, my friends, is what concerns me. This poor young man, only 25 years old, has lost all capacity for rational thought. His self induced affliction was fueled by the bastards like Alex Jones who spread lies, hate, distortions, and near criminal stupidity to a vast audience. Here poor Eric is only 25 years old and he has willingly allowed his mind to be destroyed by the polluted filth that courses through the veins of the unwashed Internet.

In fact, today rational thought is threatened on a vast scale. While the new media is very exciting and empowering, I can now really see the dark side.

It used to be conspiratorial thought was something you got in the dark back rooms of obscure bookstores. These fringe books stayed pretty much where they belonged, way out on the fringe. But, today, with the awe inspiring power of the Internets and, with it, the incredibly disproportionate weighting of search engines like Google, a single addle minded 25 year old kid living in Thailand can wield a vast influence of misinformation and disinformation that would rival intelligence agencies of small countries in times past. Imagine that? One dumb kid in Thailand can spread more disinformation than a batch of professionals. Impressive no?

These proponents of 9-11 conspiracy theories, who demonstrate a woeful inability to conduct rational thought, do great harm and insult to millions of people. In the bizarre, strange, sick and twisted world these tools of idiocracy live in, they spin propaganda to suck more innocents into their cult. In their strange world it makes more sense that hundreds of thousands of individuals are willing to be complicit in murder, cover-up, and commit the most horrific crimes imaginable, all master minded by the grand genius George Bush himself, rather than accepting the most basic and simple facts presented to their mind, consciousness, and senses.

In a local school in my area, a high school teacher was presenting 9-11 conspiracy bullshit, IN A CLASSROOM! I kid you not.

It seems absurd that I should even have to be talking about these things. After all, why should I waste my time and effort commenting on beliefs so patently stupid that they shouldn't warrant a second thought? Unfortunately, it is because the Internets, and Google Search, have given them a large voice. And, of much greater concern, is that they suck people into their web of lies and delusions to such a great extent that it now does essential damage to our society as a whole.

I like to remind people from time to time the following basic fact. You know how dumb the average person is? Well, by definition, half of the people in the world or dumber than that!

I would like to applaud those who fight the good fight trying to stamp out this virulent infection of stupity which is washing over our population. People like Penn a bit more concerned.

Sure, it's funny to laugh at the Bigfoot hoax, or the kooky Australian guy inventing his own free energy machine, or the kid who doesn't believe men landed on the moon. However, when the depth of the irrational belief systems begins to work its way into our culture in a deep and disturbing form, when high school teachers try to present it as 'fact' in their classroom, or families are torn apart because someone watched 'Loose change' too many times, suddenly it isn't quite so funny any more.

What can I say, today I am not laughing, I am breathing a deep sigh of despair for our nation, and our planet. When stupidity breeds stupidity in a vile and virulent form, when it leads to madness, chaos, destruction, and social disorder, you do need step back and wonder if there is any room left for order, light, rhyme, and reason.
