The
ADHD News
The only reason we have something like news media is
that humans, as a race, are horrible creatures. We're
not only ghastly to one another we seem to enjoy watching
the results. Any truly civilized race would not need
a running tab of
its
inhumanity
(inspeciesanity?)
to
one another,
not to mention all the while profiting from them by
interspersing each new atrocity with ads
for government-approved wonder
cures
and
technological curiosities. And at dinnertime, too.
Among contemporary humans barbarities occur with such
frequency
that
we can't
properly
address one shocking monstrosity before our attention
lurches to the next.
Yes, Brexit is terrible but it's basically about financial
winners and losers. It offers little succor to starving regions
or those rocked by natural disasters, probably the
only category of catastrophe that would
warrant widespread media attention in my imagined
perfect world.
Brexit is an example of a country trying to make the
world a better place. It failed because humans were
involved.
