2018-04-03
Nine Toxins That Are Currently Killing Civilization As We Know It - Saturday, March 31st, 2018

1. Rules that put unproductive people in charge of how productive people may do their producing.

2. Shallow egotists seeking broad dictatorial powers grounded on narrow fields of interest & understanding.

3. The right to "free speech" held sacrosanct for the benefit of "protesters" who don’t actually have anything to say.

4. The balkanization that naturally results from people relying on many different spoken & written languages.

5. Youth-worship, Weaponized Arrested Development (WAD) and the abnegation of maturity.

6. The targeting of identifiable classes for special obligations, special protections and/or special privileges.

7. The erasing of history from the public’s consciousness.

8. The notion of conscience without piety.

9. The intent to exist within a community without being a part of it.

#2  I see only one toxin - second rate people using mutual support/vetting based on shared ideology to take over all the first rate jobs. All the rest are consequences.
