A surprisingly huge, but rarely defined, business has permeated modern democracies. The purpose of the business is to convince people that that they are more, or less, than they are. It’s a huge, but invisible business, Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp.
There is, on a bell curve that pictures the distribution of IQ, a clear difference between the mental capacities of those on the left and right side. It is not polite to point out that out to someone is on the left side of the curve. It is even more impolite to speak of entire groups who may be over-represented there.
Efficient governments don’t care about such things. “Water seeks its own level.” is a cornerstone of efficient thinking.
That’s not something that the employees in a huge, but invisible business, Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. believe. The Company has extensive operations in all the formerly Christian nations. Those are all places where the drive for Equality has replaced the desire for Salvation.
The Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. gets lots and lots of government funding in every nation. Modern democracies can’t work, unless people think they’re equal. Endless hand-wringing accompanies deep concerns ab0ut hurt feelings, all-around unhappiness, and loss of self esteem if large gaps are allowed to be perceived to exist between various intellectual levels.
To help eliminate such concerns, equality becomes each democracy’s most important goal. Since all people are unequal in many ways, seeking and imposing equality has become a near-endless source of funding for the huge, but invisible business, Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. Many democracies, in fact, are going broke, and keep sinking more deeply into debt because those employed by the Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. just won’t stop working.
If some people lack the intellectual skills to get into colleges and universities, the huge, but invisible business Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp., provides “affirmative action” programs to make even the sheerest nincompoop believe, “I be ever’ bit as smart as them smart pipple.” When even the most moronic students are admitted to the most difficult of schools, they don’t have to worry about failing. Good grades are handed out like popcorn, thanks to the Herculean efforts of the Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp.
When students finally graduate, often with multiple Master’s Degrees, they often can’t find jobs. Once again, the huge, but invisible Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. steps in. The Company makes sure that sufficiently aggrieved minorities are given favored status when it comes to hiring and staffing.
After the Corporation’s clients get their jobs, they invariably find they aren’t able to do the work. Worse, they find that they aren’t smart enough to be promoted. Then, yet another division of the huge, but invisible business, Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp., gets involved. That group makes the promotion of incompetents their mission.
The Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. is so efficient, and so invisible, that many of our neighbors are able to spend their whole lives, living under the illusion that “I am reelly smart. See how good I’ve did.”
Many don’t realize that evil forces are pulling the strings at the huge, but invisible, Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. They are the ones who get Corporate employees striving to get us to believe, and act, as if equality on earth is so important that we should be willing to bear false witness to implement it.
Those working for the Help Pretend They’re Smart Corp. want us all to think that their version of equality is far more important than even thinking about getting to Heaven.
