We haven’t been to trivia nights in over 4 years. This nonsense yesterday made me think about it. The reason we stopped going to trivia was simple, it’s not Covid-safe. Objectively, scientifically, you should not catch Covid. It’s a lethal virus, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t kill you straight away. It will, eventually. But the actual objective reality of things is not how societies work now. The reason a politician can suggest something as manifestly idiotic as nuclear power stations for Australia, is because few pay any attention to the facts of anything. We don’t live as if facts matter. We just socialise. Society became adolescent. No responsibility, no concern that the right thing be done. Just ‘fun times’. ‘Living your best life.’ No adult sense of responsibility to fix the shit in the world, just vote for whoever promises you endless uninterrupted fun. Yeh, not me. I finished high school nearly 40 years ago. I enjoyed it, but I was enjoying adult life even more. Until high school life now took it over as well. That’s our culture now. We’re cooked.
