OUCH!: Zombies are Patriots to Dis-Connected Brains

...Dancing Chickens and Maze Mastering Mice...
Example:

The Mimic Machine
Can't Distinguish Between
What's Going In and What's Coming Out

 

Now, no matter what degree of talent a singer displays

while singing "The Star Spangled Banner"

 

When the performer get to...

 

Oh

say can you see

by the dawns early light

 

What so

PROXUDLY

(The first high note)

The brainwashed audience

will cheer or clap
like a dog sitting tightly before the treat has been offered

 

At one time

Cheers were a reaction to greatness

Now, it's the average applauding those who have the nerve to show up
"What does it matter if it's great or not?
It's fun to pretend things are great
Otherwise
I would have to listen and judge."

 

It's also an ego burn

"I'm part of the moment..."

"Everyone look at me/// I've shown up too."

 

The first is a lack of expectation of greatness
which is the obvious cause of
the plague of mediocrity

 

The second is an immature/ low self esteem cry for help or
the waling of the boneheaded

Demand more
Be more
Be blown away with greatness when it comes
Otherwise we might lose our ability to tell the difference

 

"Sometimes the most positive thing you can do
in a boring society is to be absolutely negative."

John (Johnny Rotten) Lydon
