No big thoughts today. Big thoughts take time to fester, to generate enough annoyance that it becomes harder and harder to not expel them all out with one long-winded rant.
Big thoughts get increasingly harder to come by the more contented one is. Not because that the more contented one is, the more ignorant one becomes, but rather, the more contented one is, the less one is likely to waste time worrying about things. Recall that to worry, is to spend brain-cycles on something that will, inevitably, not do any good at all because the said thing is by itself, outside of one's control.
So all that armchair socio-economico-politico commentary/rants here? Yeah, I'm not some angsty teenager---I know that merely talking about them here isn't going to change anything. Even if I were some kind of high-profile blogger, that would still be the case, for as long as no one decides to take action to enact a change, the status quo will always prevail for the simple reason of inertia.
Never discount inertia in any situation. Inertia is often times the most potent reason why an obviously needed change never gets off the ground. Inertia, to borrow from a physics definition, affects both motion and stasis---an object in motion (or stasis) remains in motion (or stasis) until an external force of sufficient sufficient magnitude to overcome the object's inertia acts on it to impart an acceleration to it to change its direction (or give it motion).
That's why mainstream trends are as hard to buck as it is to change an ossified bureaucracy to be made more efficient.
Alright, that's enough for someone who has no big ideas today. Till the next update.
