It is a known fact that diversity is the prerequisite for the successful evolution. I've just realized Facebook not only makes your life boring - it is also the obstacle of our cultural evolution. Same time it makes us stupid. Everyone read this far has also (hopefully) noticed the sarcastic exaggeration this text will contain... ;)
But think about it... When everyone is either single, married or complicated, is this diversity or just plain stupid? What about the arts and entertainment then? The default values for a default human is music, books, movies, TV-shows and games. Does this mean it is all there is? Or should I be worried of a hint that TV-shows are art nowadays? What a crap. I've also given a lot of partially filled lines and the blank spaces to fill in - as if I was an idiot. "My hobbies: _____ ". Duh! And everyone is truly trying to be innovative and original in those blank spaces. This is like trying to be creative in an empty, locked coffin. What is it? Trying to be something really unique to stand out from the grey mass. So the monsters wouldn't devour you after good nights kiss and mom closing the nursery door for the night. Afraid to be alone in the dark with oneself?
But on the top of it all. There stands two things. Education and job. As if I were not a fully acknowledged human being without those. They're the main things also in the info field. Is that all there is to make an individual? I'm not even going to go to details about what my family should look like. Yea, "should" because if the options are there for millions of users and they don't fit in me, am I the abnormal one? Should I do something to get myself into the same mould? And if I don't feel good fitting into them, do I need the medics or do the rest of you need to wake up?
Yea, I know. I'm overreacting here. But have you ever really thought how flat, boring and "default" you look like with the millions of others? And have you ever really thought, filling those blank spaces, if they are all that there is in you?
