Every single day I continue to be amazed by the sheer stupidity of the masses. I look at the people in my classes, the easy problems they just won't understand, and they'll even go so far as to bust out their calculator for something like 10 + 5. Isn't this just a bit.... pathetic? They'll believe anything they're told, and it seems that as technology pushes farther, the majority of people become more moronic. It used to be that each generation would build on the last one's accomplishments, and therefore get farther ahead. No offense, but I just cannot see my generation do this. I look at their faces, and think "These people will be leading countries, directing large companies, and managing political affairs. These people are our future." We're doomed! I'm not saying our last generation was much better, look at some of them (I won't go any farther in this, trying to stay away from politics *ahem*). However, we will have to deal with a lot more problems. Oil isn't going to last forever, and neither, unfortunately, is peace. I can see a lot of epidemic outbreaks happening too. My mother is a Chemistry professer at our university. I often just look through some of the student's work, and... seriously, they're stupid. And these are supposed to be top students, or else they wouldn't be in university, right?
Sure, I know there are many smart people out there. However, you aren't going to find many. I can honestly say that in my school, I have only met one truly intelligent person. And she left. =( She was really the only one that actually used her brain, was very opinionated, and knowledgable in many areas. I'm being a bit harsh, but it is true. There are others who get good grades, but for me, I don't think grades define anything, except maybe your ability to conform to a system and memorize facts. School sucks, and is a waste of my time. I could have learned everything I did in school in a fourth of the time. And look at what it did for most people. They're still extremely stupid, only smart maybe in the areas of sex and drugs. And I wouldn't call that smart, just experience. Sheesh. Our world is going to hell.
