The world wants to keep us stupid

Yes, the world wants to stifle our creativity. And so many institutions are designed to keep us stupid, subdued, non-creative: the bureaucracy, the educative system… Of course, it is much easier to deal with non creative, dumb people.

Angry Birds – keeping us busy

We are swamped by things that want to keep us busy, away from the spark of creation. I am always amazed by the number of people spending their day playing on their phone (Angry Birds is of course among the biggest culprit these days).

The world is so nasty – the phone is even called a ‘smart’ phone. Yes it’s smart: it makes us dumb.

Let’s shake the straitjacket put on us by the surrounding institutions and find again our natural creativity. The one we had when we were a child. And when the world did not figure out that we’d better be dumb to be better controlled.
