Had this conversation with my dad that got me thinking. Secular civilizations with high intellectualism are often subject to eventual destruction because with knowledge comes the great understanding you don't matter. Looking at Europe, which is a knowledgeable place, I see a shrinking population and decline.
Then I look at the Middle East, or other places with less privilege and cultured intelligence and I see they have higher birth rates and better chances of surviving as a population. And they're the ignorant ones!

... Why the hell is the right so desperate to be anti-intellectual, dumbing everyone down, cutting educational funding, trying to revise history and cutting the arts and culture? Maybe because open minds and smart people wouldn't vote for them? I'm just sayin', knowledge should not be partisan or political, and available to all who seek it.

Not really feelin' much from the result. I told a lot of people this could happen, but they didn't want to believe it. When an era of dislikeable expansive policy happens, what's likely to follow are contractions, when the world becomes more conservative. That's just what's happening now. I suppose it was natural. Expansion will arise again, but who knows when? Right now the whole world is shifting to the right, like UK, Phillipines, Germany ...
Anything else bad happen to anyone, other than the result yesterday? Someone in my family relapsed from cancer.

Hillary and Trump are both in some town. Hillary gets hungry and walks into a bakery. She has no capital on her and the owner isn't around, so she steals three loaves. Then she goes and brags to Trump about getting food with no money. Trump says "I can top that."
After the baker comes back, Trump swaggers in and declares he's a magician. The baker asks for him to perform a trick. so he takes one loaf and eats it. then another and another. After he's eaten all three, he declares he has made them disappear. The stupid baker of course asks "Where did they go?"
Trump points to Hillary and reveals her stolen loaves, "Right here!"
Funny little anaolgy/joke my godfather told me. Happy Election day.
