Too dumb
“We people
today are so much smarter than people were back in the olden days!
“For
example, did you ever see an old ‘silent’ movie?
“When
you watch those old movies, when people in them try to talk, you can see their mouths
move. But no actual words come out! You can’t hear a damned thing. Like, they forgot to make the sounds!
“This
shows that people back then must have been really, really stupid. Unlike us.
“Those
olden days folks were too dumb to realize that, when you talk, you should, you
know, make actual noises?
“Today,
we are savvy enough to know that talking is a lot more, like, effective when
you move your mouth – but also make actual sounds too! You know, so that other people can in fact hear
them?
“You’d
think that would be pretty obvious to everybody, huh? Nope, not for those idiots in the past!
“Boy,
they were dumb back then! And gullible. They
had no understanding of really basic stuff, of how things worked. Not like us.
“This
goes to show why our times are totally unlike theirs in basically every way. A lot of our circumstances may seem similar, or
even as if some of the historical parallels are really scary. But we know that we are too smart to make the
kinds of mistakes that they did back then.
“How do we
know? Because we do not act dumb! We are much smarter.
“How do
we know? You can tell that we are smarter because – we make noises! Lots and lots of noises!”
