We live in a plutocracy. I only wish I could think of a decent solution. Any ideas for a practical meritocracy?
I have arisen to inform. Too bad no one listens.
The ultimate mass communication device has been horribly misused lately. Just isn't exactly something humans are ready for. Just like we're not ready for (oh crap). Apparently, the movie Chain Reaction is supposed to have some elements of truth in it. That's how you take down a plutocracy. (water-powered cars and open source) Thing is, everything else comes down with it.
If I'm not careful, I could end up telling people how to solve the world's problems using technology forgetting one rather major detail - People do not want to hear let alone implement anything I suggest whether or not my ideas have value.
Name the song:
O cruel Fortune!
Waxing and waning like the moon. . .
Hint: you've probably never heard it sung in English.

Is there anyplace on earth where a true meritocracy exists?
What's going on in your life that has compelled you to blog again? Is "the man" keeping you down?
BTW, I'm pretty sure the movie "Chain Reaction" was more "cheesy/bad Keanu Reeves movie" than it was "cutting social commentary".

Of course not, meritocrazies, like other forms of cool sounding governments, just look good on paper.
As for cutting social commentary, is Jonny Mnemonic also cheesy Keanu? What about the movie Josie and the Pussycats? It was a kind of oddly shallow movie that didn't really take itself seriously. But the message was pretty cool whatever it was.
As for brainwashing, watch They Live! with Roddy Piper of WWF fame.
