The ability to fully comprehend *causality* is perhaps the most
essential social quality of intelligent people. In either case, its
absence is absolutely the most passively-damaging social phenomenon.
Take the Brussels bombings, for instance: to the layperson, it may simply
appear to be the irrational but predictable behavior of deranged
religious extremists. Of course, that's merely the cap of a causal
pyramid built upon the foundation of our voting booths here in the U.S. -
but it's far easier to invest one's
energy into comparisons of the eligible certain causes of the next
preventable tragedies than to pursue an actual solution. We're already
underpaid for our toils, amirite? We're jaded and abused and
marginalized, and that entitles us to unlimited social irresponsibility
and apathy - boo yah!
That's why it is SO IMPORTANT that every one of you vote - because if
enough of you don't, it could mean you've figured out that you could
instead do something genuinely productive... and, ya know, change is
hard, and stuff. Watching people die in explosions on the news because
of our laziness is just much more comfortable. Possibility is scary -
f*ck that!
No matter who you vote for, at least you'll be able to count
on it being a devil you know.
