"The general public usually just turn off and say nothing, just walk away and get on with life."
No, they do not - not all of them -------- this thread proves that.
"The media are to blame for most of this s!@t, think they play to the general public to win ratings.
I agree partially - but, it is a part of the public that has picked this event up from some media - and, ran with it -- it's now on social media --
which yes, media do copy - but, worse -- politicians running software and AI that identifies ideas and concepts that people are making noise about - if there's enough noise - enough marbles rattling in an empty tin - then, they will make policy on the run - no matter what the subject --
basically - it's us that is to blame.
We make this stuff newsworthy --------- this thread proves it -
we make it political - this thread proves it.
We all sit back and want better politicians - we all sit back and want smarter politicians, we all sit back and want our politicians to be making decisions for our future Nation -
but, we bring this crap to their attention
???????????????????????????????
If we don't want news and media to cover this stuff ------------ easy -------ignore it.
If we don't want our politicians to be involved in stuff that isn't crucial to our futures - like economics, education etc. ----------- then, ignore this other stuff on a political level.
We have a debt that we cannot get a grip on -- we can hear the BS that says we will get a grip on it - but, we have heard the BS before.
We KNOW that we are entering the most massive change in human history with what will be (over a period of time) the FULL move away from human labor to machine labour.
We KNOW that in an environment like we have and most certainly a future environment - it is either be smart or die -- or, at least be smart or go into the poverty dust -
why, in the name of god would we want to waste time even mentioning that a bloke who thinks he is a woman won a bike race?????????????????????????
And, worse still - to bring that to the attention of the VERY people who should be thinking of things like - 'how the hell is society going to work when humans don't?'
IMO - it's complete stupidity - and, it's us that do it ----------- we deserve exactly what we have got and what we will get.
Media will only give us what we demand -- if we ignore things - they won't even give those things the time of day.
