From Carl Bernstein, (1944), American investigative journalist and author:
We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.
Mike Judge perceived this almost 20 years ago. See “Idiocracy” the movie for a preview of our future.
That was a good movie.
Agreed, but it was supposed to be satire, not an ‘instruction manual’ like the left is using it for 😉
