My curiosity peaked the other day watching society decend into Anarchy, is this the period in human history whereby the downward spiral is being recorded so explicitly. Societies throughout history have witnessed and recounted the rise and fall of evil and madness but none so far have documented it in real-time with everything broadcasting online all the time. There isn't a newsworthy incident outside the algorithm circulation pattern, we are watching the human race self destruct live in HD like it's binge content behind a pay wall. This got me thinking about the World Wars and what would that have looked like on live 24/7 newsfeeds. The rise and fall of the Third Reich discussion panels, field reports live from the trenches watching the greatest tragedy in human history happen. Panel discussions with members of the Manhattan Project and an exclusive sit-down with Adolf Hitler hosted by The View. Maybe not as horrific a concept as the expansion of Rome or Alexander in daily headline print. Front page features Athens in flames. Suspended for a moment the absence of technology and picture journalists photographing the advancement from within the camps, among the legions. Interviews with Ghengus Khan, Vlad the Impaler and Hannibal as his crossed the Alps. What response would Marie Antoinette or Joan of Arc receive on their Instagram pages?
Why does it bother me?
The human behavior of people bothers me. The world is burning in the chaos of primitive minds lusting for absolute power. Global warfare, the Islamic invasion of the West, civil unrest and violent protests about everything, the unaddressed mental issue of the woke/trans that ends in mass shootings and Epstein/AI/aliens. Here's what's happening in my neighborhood of South Africa, the world's armpit. The evil ANC government continues to lie, cheat and steal. That is the benchmark for societal collapse. Do as your leaders do, crime is the new normal for South Africa. Gun violence is a trend again, the gateway crime that leads to armed robbery. Equal opportunity entrepreneural criminals are running cash in transit robberies on month end weekends to capitalize an high cash volume retailers are bumped up for SASSA payouts. Easy money for criminals preying on the government grants paid to the elderly, the unemployed youth, single mothers on welfare, the sick, the lame and the lazy. Stealing from the desperate, those poor unfortunate souls dependent on the monsters occupying parliament. What really bothers me is the indifference of people in observation to these incidents.The narcissist attitude of those society calls Karen. Ladies and gentlemen South Africa has Black Karen. I have the displeasure of encountering one in a business environment. Initially I thought black Karen was a chat bot, devoid of all human emotions. Her narcissism portrays her as the hero or the victim. Her life force feeds off the energy generated being the centre of attention because FOMO has not been diagnosed as a mental health condition. People don't respect her, despite her impression of her BFFs. People don't correct her because of the needlessly complicated and utterly redundant HR meetings she calls citing oppression of a black woman in business expecting a groveling apology, narcissist playing victim. Black Karen has upset a working team dynamic which, this is the unfortunate result of disruption in South Africa, set off a negative chain reaction encouraging the rise of Black Ken to lobby complaints of communist equality in the work place.
A quick side quest:
To be fair I wasted a bit of time Googling what to call a male Karen and there is no definite name however Ken is the popular choice so I'm going with Ken. I do feel there aren't as many Kens as there are Karens in the world as socially men complain less than women, don't get me wrong the Kens are out there but for the purpose of locking in a universally accepted name for them there isn't sufficient data to determine that yet. I also like the idea of a Black Ken, something Mattel hasn't thrust into the toy manufacture zeitgeist. We have Black Barbie, where's Black Ken?
Back to the main quest.
I know of such things, I have dealt with such people. First contact needs to avoid these people. I believe the smartest thing any extra terrestrial life, if they're out there in our universe has done thus far is to avoid first contact with the human race. Just to be clear, I want to believe. I acknowledge UAP and UFO existence ad while it doesn't confirm aliens exist it confirms not everything in our skies belongs to us. Sightings are officially legitimate, abductions remain the delusional recollections of inebriated people who don't remember how they got home after that one party. Seriously, anal probing?
What can we possibly learn from an asshole?
I am addressing the human race, the entire population inhabiting Earth. Extra terrestrial life not of this planet, origin can remain unknown, remains more advanced than you.
General observations of people and our impact has on the planet has raised concern among the sentient forms of life throughout the known universe to critical levels. All knowledge of human life on earth has been broadcast out into the universe since by the technology of mankind since the species became self aware of television. Our continuous destruction of the planet proved humans cannot sustain natural balance of all life therefore people can be classified an invasive parasite. Removal is this parasite will reinstate the natural balance of life. At present, the continued survival of the human race is under review. Let it be known sentient intelligence far more advanced than us capable of removing us from existence. Measure twice, cut once because karma finds a way. How much does a pothole cost?
These blemished surface marks plaguing our roadways defy political satire and celebrity cameo, both are comical illustrations of how terrible potholes have become facilitating fishing and swimming inside them to motivate the local council into repair is a cute gesture with short term success. I'm sorry but that's not a solution, it's an annoyance. How much of an annoyance?
I dare anyone to hit a pothole while driving. I did recently, unavoidable accident as I explained it, in explicit detail to several Karens and Kens at my insurance firm, my option to swerve while traveling along at the law abiding speed was either strike an oncoming vehicle or strike the large pothole in the road, one helps yoy meet Jesus, which might have been a more productive experience, the other helps you interact with your insurance brokerage.One pothole, two tyres needing replacement but my insurance company wasn't easily convinced. Believing by default my guilt to purposefully defraud I presented my caim to the almighty insurance brokerage assured I'm swindling them of money, money I'm paying them to be available to be to pay for just such incidents, that's how insurance works right?
Not any more. Let it be known should ever I require legal defence in criminal court I'm calling on the services of my insurance company for legal representation, lawyers be damned. I was guilty filing legitimate claims on my policy, pure evil, send my to the gallows. Wait a minute, where's my damn money?
Fourteen days pass, many phone calls, a few photographs sent and one rude email of complaint, I got something. It wasn't everything I claimed because comprehensive has be redefined to mean co-payment. My filed claim was for two damaged tyre, I received settlement for one, team Karen/Ken citing reasons of "unjustified excess" because the second tyre damaged wasn't convincing. Harsh ruling and I still had one damaged tyre that failed outright during the delayed proceedings. I submitted a second claim for the same tyre again. I submitted all the photographs, again. I provided all the information required including a quotation from a tyre fitment centre for the replacement, again. This is important as when I later discussed the damaged tyres with a representative from Prime insurance I was asked to justify the claim for two tyres as the damage to the second tyre was not "clearly defined". I explained I struck the pothole with both tyres attempting to avoid it, the pothole is large and deep. I explained upon inspection by a representative of the tyre fitment centre providing the quotation I was told and shown the damage unflicted to the tyre in question and it was at their advising I replace it. Complaining about slow service motivates nobody, ranting like a lunatic online then ignoring their courtesy phone calls gets results. Moral here being, when you seek the advice of a professional please follow it because the minor problem of a soon to be failing tyre became a major problem when said tyre failed. In my line of work this is called latent failure and it will cost more, take longer to resolve and delay things needlessly.
