Okay, so seriously what's with this hyper emotional world that we're living in all of a sudden?
Meh, let's get to the point. For the past couple of weeks I've been seeing on my facebook, stuff like
Well congratulations girls. It's an amazing thing that you're fair and you don't care if you're lovely, because, boy that's what we all do in here. And of course, we generalize doctors as having bad handwriting, in much the same way as Hitler generalized jews to be assholes who needed to be killed. So a kudos to you miss doctor for really breaking away from that stereotype.
I actually shouldn't even jab at the girls, they're just a small part of a really stupid big campaign.
The campaign, is about breaking stereotypes, and the list of stereotypes that it breaks, are barely stereotypes to start with. Like, here:
because nobody knew that.
All I feel like saying to the guy organizing this thing is,
what's the purpose of this? Did you actually expect to make a non thinker think with those stupid placards? Are you EVEN SAYING ANYTHING?
It's just exaggerated emotion! much like this stupid video
People have their right to their everyday first world problems. It's not like they're telling researchers and army men, to go utilize the country's resources to fix these issues. No. They voice those problems, just like you'd say, it's too hot if it were hot and the electricity was out. You're not obligated in that moment to think about all the children in Africa who don't have fans. That, is just plain dumb.
And sadly, that's the kind of hyper emotional world we're in now.
The fast and the impatience, that we promote with our consumer culture, has given rise to superficiality, and lack of thought.
And when there's lack of thought, the only reactions come from emotions. Irrational emotions.
So like animals(only capable of pre-programmed reactions), we present each other with what we hope are outrageous/or shocking things (no matter how dumb they may be), and we make sure we build those outrageous things around sensitive issues that other people have feelings about so all the bullshit gets promoted in a typhoon of emotion, and becomes a taboo, with people feeling so much, and protecting their cult, and no one really giving any thought into JUST HOW STUPID IT ALL IS.
