survival of the richest?
remember back in the day in science class or whatever....we learned that in any particular group....it was always "survival of the fittest"....."only the strong survived"....stuff like that....and i've come to the conclusion with all the new technology these days...."survival of the fittest" is just not the case anymore....
take me for example....back in the caveman days.....i would be dead.....i'm blind as a bat so i would not be able to see my food to catch it....and i'm so out of shape, i wouldn't be able to catch my food if i could see it....
if you took me....and transported me to back in the day times...i would be the weakest link...
sure....if i were born back in the day....i would have been nurtured into a certain way of living so i could sustain my life....and true, maybe i wouldn't have poor eyesight or if i did, i would adapt to compensate....but how did we get from "survival of the fittest".....to "survival of the richest?"
what i mean is, rich people can afford medicines, surgeries, personal trainers....all the things to keep them strong and living....while people living in working class incomes, are struggling to survive....with medical insurance high.....some families can't afford it....opting out of insurance and not getting the medical attention they need or just simply too busy working to take advantage of their health benefits.....
honestly, how many of you make that needed dentist appointment or doctors appointment, just cos???.....and how many of you are like me, wallow in pain before you even consider going to the hospital???....remember it took me almost a week to go the doctor, just to find out i had a kidney infection....
anyway, i wear glasses/contacts in order to see....technology has made is possible to get lasik eye surgery, so i would not need glasses or contacts....well how many working class families do you know with glasses/contacts get this surgery???....i can imagine very few....*I* sure hell can't afford it....
now, i'm not saying we go out and kill all the "weakest links" out there....but how did we get weak in the first place???
i'm guessing technology....it is our conquering hero and our arch nemesis....
technology has made it too easy to be lazy....we use it to sit on our butts and entertain ourselves....we use it at the gym to stay in shape....we use it to help with erectile disfunction....and we use it to prevent unwanted pregnancies....we even use it to blow up people a thousand miles away....and use it to blow up people in video games....
technology is amazing....
and rich people suck....
unless they're giving me money....
