On humanity and Facebooks… but… like… real quick, dude.

It should be pretty clear by now that I have no faith in humanity. Humans piss me off, society is stupid, and hell is other people. I have lived for 21 years and yet few are the ones who I have managed to keep (close or not) in my entourage because I believe they are the people who the future will want more of; they are the people I want to see in the media or in institutions around the world, telling others what to do.

First off you might have noticed that I added an ‘s’ to Facebook. This is a call on people saying the ‘internets’, but also because there are several community and social websites out there. But with Facebook, we really have started (notice STARTED) to exhibit people from under their rocks and now everybody’s using Facebook for everything; for friends, for work, for your family… and that’s the problem. What happens with so many people free to roam around expressing their bullshit, and having others blindly accepting their input without debate/correction/logic/thought. My parents want to add me on Facebook, but if I started explaining to them why “you can’t just add parents on Facebook, in fact nobody should” they’re gonna ask me “But why? I’m your mom!” and that will be exactly the point. Another point are the French people who think Facebook is MSN on a website. Dumbasses. And what can I say about people who ‘comment’ on your wall post instead of ACTUALLY posting on YOUR wall in order to reply?? Pssh, learn the fucking ways dude!

But I’m also talking about all those groups on Facebook and websites around it that parody Facebook. Lamebook, Failbook, groups about the stupidity of some people, the “Overheard at” groups where people post the wisdom of some of the earth’s dumbest people in their school, all these show that the stupid people are being exposed more and more. We are seeing more of what some of the pulp of our worldly society is made of.

And it’s fucking scary.

People don’t know how to spell anymore, if they don’t they also ignore the automatic corrector or whoever corrects them. What is to blame for this? Many things, but I don’t wanna talk about that. It’s maybe not their fault they’re stupid, but what I’m trying to get that is that they’re OUT THERE and they’re coming out!

There are two ways Facebook could end up in the future (amongst others of course but this is just vague speculation):

1-The stupid people are exposed, and more and more services become available to them (Facebook, Twitter etc) that enable them to express themselves casually everyday. In the end, the more services come up, the more people are gonna have access to these things and show off their stupidity. The smart people would have already moved on to either using Facebook occasionally, or they might have found their own community to express themselves amongst others, without the stupid people. This here already spreads into two branches; either these stupid people learn with time through the wisdom of the ACTUAL smart people that are on these websites, or they actually become dumber because they’re sharing their dumb shit with other dumb people and it becomes a loop and a repetition of Dumb on Dumber on Dumberer.

2-The stupid people are exposed, and more and more people realise this from these services and realise that they are becoming lamer and lamer. You already have communities like 4chan which is the asshole of the internet, but that’s good; it’s exclusive, there are inter-geeky conflicts within those websites, and that’s good because it doesn’t concern us or the everyday people or people who actually care about their lives. But if the stupid people get exposed on the internet like this, more people will learn from it and try not to do these things anymore and will try to learn. I don’t know which solution will work the best, but I sincerely hope this second one will. But, knowing humanity, and since I have no faith in it, we might be at the beginning of a plot twist typical of the 21^st century which touches deep into psychology, sociology, anthropology, technology, and many other logies.

What can we do? How can we ‘not dumb people’ come up with ways to expose this stupidity in order for people to learn from it? It’s scary because when you think these dumb people are exposed they’re gonna start nosing around and fuck shit up, it’s like the village idiot in the nuclear power plant (oh hey Homer), and even though the end would hopefully not be a nuclear holocaust, I just hope things are appropriately taken care of for these people; either you teach them or you ditch them, but make sure they are far from ‘Real’ society that makes the world go round.

Either there are more stupid people today, or there are more exposed stupid people out there today. Let’s just hope the concept of education is correct, and that people are generally smarter today than they used to be. But something tells me human will always be primitive and stupid compared to animals, no matter how much history, science, or math they learn, we will still be humans and suck at life.

I am soooo grateful to my teachers for having properly taught me English and the way things are, thank god I don’t believe ‘through’ and ‘threw’ are the same thing and finish everything with a lol or a haha.

BTW can you believe there actually is a DVD box in France for Christmas in a limited edition, it’s a collection of classic French comedies. The collection is called ‘LOL’. Thank you France for borrowing the dumb concept of the internets and Americans and blindly applying it to a marketing technique because “That’s what’s in at the moment, kids say LOL all the time”. Nice going you fucking idiots.
