The smart person who chooses to not use their smarts,
Must logically be *much* worse that the dumb person who *can’t do*.
Much much worse than the dumb person who *tries to do* yet fails;
And *infinitely worse* than the dumb person that does, in fact, *do*.
There are far more smart people that *don’t do* than dumb people that *do do*.
Smart people who *don’t do* seem to think they have an a-priori greatness,
As if their ‘real self’ is alive in some kind of a parallel Platonic-like-universe,
Where great thoughts & ideas are the only game in town
But really, here on Earth – they are by any practical definition,
The dumbest people around.
Someone with an IQ of 120 or more should not forever be cleaning out chicken coops,
& having no real impact on anyone or anything…..
I blame the ‘Quad-um-virate’ of Universities, Corporatism, Politicians, & the Thinktank elitists –
They have installed this mindset in the people via their deft duplicitous chicanery,
For this ‘Quad-um-virate’ likes to build up social hierarchies in people’s minds –
& How can a Uni student ever mix it with Einstein, Tolstoy, Jobs & Woz, Dirac, Crick & Watson & JFK etc?
They like to ignore the fact that people usually succeed through trial & error, obstinacy & just turning up.
The obscure the fact that doing anything is ultimately just a process & is available to anyone.
But why would the knowledge gatekeepers do this?
They do this because they must keep only a small % of people ‘succeeding’ –
They must vigilantly police who gets to the upper part of the pyrimid –
They can’t let everyone succeed on merit or by access to ungated resources –
For how else could you fleece the last remaining few shekels?
Yes The shekels of the great billions running on the hamster wheels –
A few small dollars stolen off the great 8 Billion strong majority adds up very nicely,
When it is shared to the few tens of thousands the apex levels of the pyrimid scheme.
But you must convince them that they can’t do.
& This is why I say it is so bad when a smart person knows this & still enslaves themselves.
The others have an excuse.
The smart do not.
Did not the ex-Roman Jew-prosecutor-turned-Christian Paul say this:
“Do not make yourself a slave unto man”?
These are wise words.
Also, Bukowski the drunk poet said something similar:
“If you know & don’t do you have attics & dark halls in your mind to walk up & down in & wonder about”.
I am convinced that if you took the millions of smart people who let themselves be brainwashed to ‘not to do’ –
by some Machiavellian character in higher education or some villainous corporatised entity,
They’d spontaneously do the great works on this Earth they were meant to do.
Someday, someone or something will make this all happen.
For it is the greatest swindlers tragedy to be on this beautiful pale blue dot life support system,
Which has bountiful food & the only barriers to movement are the geographic gates:
Mountains, Rivers, Seas, Deserts.
Yes – it’s amazing that even one man was ever fooled into seeing these false & invisible barriers –
Yet the entire times of mankind suggests it was entirely normal.
Yes, all of Earths entire generations have seen this elongated swindle we now call History.
History’s litany of records of the invisible barriers has never been real truth –
it just proves & documents that ‘the swindle’ has been effective for too long.
For a swindle is still a swindle no matter how long it is plied for.
A smart man that finds his voice & so ‘does’ is known by a better name:
A ‘Wise Man’.
The ‘Wise Man’s’ function is to show people the Truth of what is really happening.
Hazaar to the Wise Men!
Rare in modern times – but not yet extinct – maybe they can still save us….
….If only they’d finally find their voices soon…..
…..For there must be a few million of them at least….
For isn’t the ‘Wise Man’ just a ‘Smart Man Who Does”?
