Larry Marshall. World beating stupidity at the helm of CSIRO.

Dear reader, one of the most telling things about Australia these days is how we’re slipping down the intellignece charts. Whilst we proudly stand as ‘numero uno’ on the world stage for Real Estate, (something for which we should all be proud), our standing on literacy, numeracy and just being clever, slips and slides.

Why is this so you may ask?

Ahmed Fahour. Rooted Australia Post and Board gave him 10 million payout.

Has it got any thing to do with the Federal Government’s axing of the CSIRO, science jobs, manufacturing, innovation? Innovation in anything other than Real Estate and funding for already wealthy private religious schools? Or is it just that the population have had enough of learning in general. They’re tired of just being average, and desire, as all good anglosphere nations do, of being dumber.

We at pcbycp attribute the decline to a more central cause, the fact that imagination and thinking of anything other than money and Real Estate is discouraged right across the field.

And that’s what makes us the stupid country. Profoundly stupid. World-beaters.

How else could you explain a resource rich country in which the very earth is worth trillions and not make a profit that trickles down to the people when that provenance is sold? It beggars belief, but this is how things are done in the stupid country.

How can it be that a rotten filthy stinking industry like coal, can contemplate the Carmichael mine which will employ some 1500 persons for a year or so, when the worlds greatest living organism is snuffed out, by filthy coal. The Adani is endorsed by both state and federal governments, once again we rest our case for stupidity. A ten million dollar payout to an individual who rooted Australia Post and the absurdity of having a non binding plebiscite on same sex marriage. The list is endless. We excell in stupidity. We lead the world. And now, just to top it off, we don’t have a government at all.

We’ve converted our edication institutions into visa factories and vocational colleges. We’ve wasted our natural resources, our rivers are depleted, and what can’t be sold is regarded as useless, and our stance on human rights is repugnant.

But is this all? Is it really this grim?

Rupert. Relies on stupidity to keep his empire going.

The only bright spot, is that ther cost of electricity and basic services which used to be publicly run and cheaper are guaranteed to go through the roof. Once again we’re a world leader. And some amongst us talk of a space programme. Our “Space Programme” is filling space with Real Estate.

That’s what we’ve got , and it’s not a lot. But there’s hope. Barnaby Joyce has been recognised as the worlds most outstanding New Zealader. Which just goes to show, when the chips are down we can rely on New Zealand to laugh with us in identifying us as being the most stupid. Stupidly so.

Yet the nagging question remains.

Is he one of us?

Could he be that stupid?

Barnaby. Is he really one of us?
