Nothing new &#8211; seems like by the Constitution all the officials have to be really incompetent and ignorant when it comes to their real job)).<\/p>\n<p>So be it. It would&#8217;ve been better if that auction was won by a television with 5% coverage &#8211; the fans would&#8217;ve gathered in the pus to watch, and the not-so-big-fans would find something else else to do ((even, as impossible it sounds, to read a book)). I have no idea why everyone is zombifying themselves so much &#8211; looks like if they don&#8217;t have any external stimulator, they&#8217;ll start thinking, will see how ugly is the situation and will start drinking or just feeling unhappy&#8230;<br \/>\n(in Rome it was &#8220;bread and spectacles&#8221;, here it&#8217;s &#8220;alcohol and spectacles&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>Even the biggest part of the young generation ((e.g. the ones that are &#8217;89)) is going in that direction. In the last issue of Capital there&#8217;s something about the teenagers, how smart and enlightened they are, etc., but I hae the feeling that they looked for such ones like Diogenes, with a lantern. If they had gone once in the subway between NDK and Lozenetz, near &#8220;Double Vision&#8221; and &#8220;Amor&#8221; ((known better as &#8220;Double Teen&#8221; and &#8220;Abort&#8221;)), to see what the situation looks like. It&#8217;s also visible from the results of the matriculations &#8211; most of them don&#8217;t want to write any text and to show their own thoughts (and can do the test), and there are still a lot of doubts about external help.<\/p>\n<p>So, most people can be admitted without an exam in the club &#8220;Sheep thought&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest &#8211; I know a lot of people from all ages with their own head that think, study, work, etc., but I have this nagging feeling that their numbers are declining. The are not a lot of people that you can discuss a book with, that you can get drunk with and discuss all kinds of scientific topics ((once for 4 hours me and chervarium managed to go through physics, biology, genetics, history, mathematics and I-can&#8217;t-remember-what-else)) and that you can communicate with without the feeling that the other side is stupider ((and more meaningless)) than the dead plant in the corner of the room&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s just this question left &#8211; is it worthy to do anything to encourage more real individuals, thinking people? Is it worthy to give them any chance, or it&#8217;s up to everyone to fight to be an individual (as one wonderful person insists, one that has done this totally by herself) &#8211; should I think about that, or just the herd has to be left to kill itself and vegetate and to be interested just in the ones that fall off\/struggle away from it?<\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The spectacles in this country are a matter state policy.
