I am impressed with the Olympics. All our big monopolies are searching for talent and then investing in it. They get bragging points on tv commercials. The nice thing about jocks is that they are no threat to the established order.
Could we do this with brains, that allows us to earn some money? Every cent we earn now, comes from digging out, or cutting down things. Not many brains required. That has given us a level of income, but it isn't going to increase by much.
Our Ontario commercials show us investing in stupid things, by stupid people. Roads are nice, but you have to earn income. If we have the government leading investment, it is always for photo-ops.
I'm still wondering why our great hopes for income always end in drunken splendour. Why did we invest in housing to 10 times over-supply? I think it was our business 'alcoholic personality', or 'apes'. That has nothing to do with alcohol, but getting a thrill by constant manipulation, lies, and pushing people around. The ultimate is the 'old boys club' that dominates Canada. The person who personifies this is tv 'boat man'.
So, in reality, the potentials for big income, like Blackberry, and Nortel, were started by apes hiring a bunch of brights, or taken over by apes to expand. They both crashed on the rocks of stupidity.
Listening to the ice pellets hit my window, I realize that we do not have the right weather for brightness.
BC may not have the weather in the coming ice age, but they are super 'left coast'.
I am convinced we can create an underground California, better than the stupid Toronto Path with stale air and bad lighting. You go in there, and your IQ drops 30 points. I have been experimenting with hydroxyl generation and variable spectrum lighting. You can have a bright environment.
Again, this is in Wesleyville, and while the stupids are wrangling up a nuclear plant, the brights can start the research centre. Serviced by a high-speed train to Toronto, designed by brights, and not the stupids.
We don't need to go into another civil war of brights and stupids because the brights will focus some energy in keeping the stupids happy. They never do that regularly. We always have a cycle of the brights bringing in prosperity, and the stupids thinking they are left out, and it is 'unfair' that stupids don't get the same pay as brights. Just like the US, there is always a civil war between the cannon-makers and the cannon-fodder. Each gets one vote.
All this is just to keep me laughing at my own jokes, while sitting in my old-man chair. I just read fantasy, because I am allergic to stupidity. The stupids outnumber us by 100 to one. We need them to push the brights to Olympic Brains Gold.
ps the 'Bright Cycle' is from 20 to 40 years old. After that, without support, they go insane with all their money. An Olympic approach could deal with that - full unfettered, untaxed brightness, with support. We don't need to create 'bozoes', 'mushies', or 'trumpies'.
ps woo hoo! Canada wins! I had to go for a snooze, and came back to the winning goal. Too stressful for me.
