The Weirding of Mentality

It's official: Society has gone bonkers!

“The game works like this. If the weather is warmer than usual, it is an infallible sign of global warming. If the weather is colder than usual, it is an equally infallible sign — owing to some ludicrous formula straight out of an alchemist’s notebook — that the climate is heating up alarmingly and we must all go green, pass cap and trade, drive Volts, turn down our thermostats, and set up phalanxes of unsightly, bird-shredding, budget-breaking, and neurosis-inducing windmills that may, on good days, produce enough electricity to power a 40-watt bulb. A massive snowfall climbing over the window ledge indicates the approach of desert-like winters when parents will recount nostalgic tales of snowball fights of yore to their wondering children. The predictions, though, need not always be counter-intuitive. A dry season means the baking inferno is nigh. A wet season signals the onset of Noahide floods, rising sea levels, and the submerging of Pacific islands. An ordinary day is merely the ominous quiet before the impending storm. It makes no difference what the data may be, they always point in the same direction.

Quite frankly, we have, most or at least many of us, gone stark raving mad. Experience counts for nothing. Theory is everything. One thinks of the old joke: It’s fine in practice, but will it work in theory? Only it’s not fine in practice, in defiance of which the theory must be patched together and upheld at all costs. […] ”

The Peter Principle states that "in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence", meaning that employees tend to be promoted until they reach a position at which they cannot work competently. There is an analogous principle operating in our society, wherein the power brokers invoke a worldview that appeals to their irrational ideas for how the world ought to work, and proceed to propagandize their worldview until the majority among us are persuaded to do their bidding. Or else draw their condemnation.

The Obamas of this world conjure up some cockamamie policy without benefit of logic or reason, not to mention any contemplation of possible unintended consequences, and go boldly forth with it come hell or high water. Their arrogance is without limit because no matter what ultimately comes to pass, their personal welfare is shielded from harm by everyone else's misfortunes. In this regard, we are not much different from the murderous raving lunatics who take to the so-called Arab Street whenever their puppet masters tell them to.

It is difficult for those who cling to rational thought to know how to deal with such madness. I suppose that simply understanding that we have an almost insurmountable problem is a useful first step. For how can you hope to address a problem unless you first recognize that one exists. But I'll be damned if I know how to begin to approach a solution that would shield me and my loved ones from becoming mere cannon fodder for the brazen morons who hold the reins of power.

It's madness!
