Idiocracy on the Horizon

 That's the title of a nice long post over at Cold Fury.

You’re reading an essay published only on the Internet, so it’s safe to assume that you have electricity whenever you want it. You can light your house for the price of a few minutes’ work per day. You have a computer (or a tablet or phone, but tablets and phones are computers which can do other things). You live someplace which has Internet connectivity, with all that that implies in terms of computers and reliable electricity and cabling or radio signals or satellites, plus everything behind that in terms of rare earth mining and chip manufacturing. You probably have a place to live which keeps the weather out and you probably have plenty to eat – if either is not the case, why are you reading what some knucklehead writes rather than finding food and shelter?

You like having all that, right?

Well, then, it behooves you to do what’s needed to keep it coming.

Well, I meant to post this in the morning, but I forgot to hit the post button.  I blame the lack of coffee.
