Does North American Culture deserve to remain on top?

preyalone · 07-19-2009, 09:46 PM

I wonder for the fate of the world when it will be led by people who grew up on American Idol and Big Brother. Television and the internet and two of the greatest teaching tools ever invented. Yet they are used only to fatten the minds of the people like so much cerebral junk food. There was a time when people revered education. New discoveries were celebrated, and great minds were given resources at the insistence of the people. But education is now just another of life demands. Like brushing your teeth, we all do it because we know we should. But usually don't give it the time or attention it deserves.
And I love stupid TV as much as the next person (devoted Simpson's fan). But when that is all that people see. And when uneducated actors and mind-numbingly stupid athlete's are held in higher esteem than the people who save and improve our lives through science and industry. Well it doesn't leave me much hope for the future.

Not to be rude, but I'm pretty sure stupidity has always existed. You seem to mean well.

Brushing your teeth sucks.

Hey, I happen to like stupidity in mainstream media. It reminds me of how much better I am than everybody else.
