(41) I Knew it Would Happen
I hate to say I told you so, but I didn't did I?
I never actually said it out loud. So I will say it now.
The current practise of looking for someone to blame
instead of seeking to solve problems is going to cause
the downfall of our society.
There I said it.
What brought this on you may well ask, and I will tell you
because I want you to know, and I am sure you want to know, too, now.
I have suffered under numerous bureaucrats, managers and
other legal obsessed individuals in positions of power in the
workplace to see that they all, were totally unaware of the principle
of trust in others, mostly because they had never considered
anything other than their own failings of which their greed and ambition
were high priorities.
Assumption of the worst in mankind begets exactly that and more.
Treat people like idiots and you will encourage idiocy.
Treat people like automatons and you will get robots.
Treat people like loving caring, humane individuals and
you just might support someone who makes life worthwhile.
At the moment I am reeling under the influence of computer
stupidity. The Vista operating system engineers have taken the easy way out of
the security issue by forcing their concepts of doing useful work.
Like the Nazi, legal, bureaucrats referred to above, the computer software
designers have no idea of the requirements of human endeavour
and creativity.
Bounded by their own mediocrity and "intelligent backsides", we find ourselves
having to cope with inadequate solutions to very real problems.
When will these people realise that human beings need freedom as individuals
to create, work and even simply have fun?
So what can we do?
I wish I knew. In fact I have a pretty good idea of what we can do, but apart from that,
we can all help by letting them know that we are like Peter Finch in the movie
"Network," when he said:
"I am as a mad as Hell and I'm just not going to take it anymore."
Go on, go over to the window and yell it to whomever is listening.
Better still go out the front door, into the street and shout it as loudly as you can.
It will make you feel better.
Then send out an invitation to Microsoft and Apple and anyone else you know of their ilk
to join us in a "Love-in."
These people need Love. Lots of it too, I would guess at a pinch.
These people have become dickheads, because they have forgotten how to
masturbate and so play with their braincell instead, probably because it is bigger.
We need to organise a mass demonstration of how trust can make a difference.
Put all these computer nerds in one big room without any clothes and see if they
can come up with any solutions...
We should show them the greatest achievements of the human race have come
from individuals who have been encouraged by both adversity and inspiration, but never by
deprivation of their ability to be creative.
Computers are great tools with a promise of extending human abilities but not in the form that Vista takes.
I did tell you I don't like Vista didn't I?
