I am sure there are many people
who are extremely annoyed by the amount of absurd posts that occur on social
media. As Proverbs says “against a fool even a wise man fights in vain”. I
thought I would venture into the world of Google to try to discover if indeed
this is so. I have been stopped in my tracks by the remarkable article in
Wikipedia which is both funny and dismal at the same time. I attach the link at
the bottom of the blog, I think you will find it interesting to say the least
and let me say a certain person in a big white house crossed my mind as I read
it!
Along with the legions of stupid
people we also have an alarming number of sociopaths who are manipulating our
world. In particular I refer to the creator of Facebook who is defying social
order deliberately and helping to create a world of chaos and hatred. I do not
say this lightly but following the news closely in recent months I find myself
puzzled as to why Zuckerberg refused to attend various inquiries and even more
puzzling why the authorities did not insist on that attendance. A simple
correction in algorithms would prevent people from going down dark gopher holes
into a world of misinformation and malevolence.
I am an optimist in the long run
but in the short term I am a worrier and it is very concerning that the world
is racing along willy-nilly without remembering 2 axioms from 2 world wars “lest
we forget” and “never again”.
This blog is written to the
readers who are bright, have common sense and perhaps can make their world
positive and strong by their own initiatives. Little circles eddy outwards. We
can always hope.
