This chapter is all about Brexit and Trump, but luckily those actual things are rarely mentioned because we’re totally bored of them and they are more or less over now. Or are they? Yes they are. No, what we get down to is the root of the problem.
Which is stupidity. We talk about how being stupid is great, but how it will ruin everything. Be warned: Mike Trollfield really steals the show here, going on a massive rant about the stupidity of people who refuse to admit that stupidity is the problem. The Dunning Kruger effect comes up. We note in passing that everyone in Poland is more intelligent than Cursor Miner. We solve the problem of xenophobia, and finally work out who we can all hate no matter which side we’re on. We come to the shocking realisation that the Nazis might actually have lied about some things. Good luck.
Lyrics
It’s a win for the bully
It’s a win for the jocks
It’s a win for the arseholes
It’s a win for the cocks
It’s a win for the ignorant
a win for the mean
It’s a win for the selfish
It’s a death of a dream
It’s a win for the stupid x 4
It’s a win for the conman
It’s a win for the spin
It’s a win for the sinners
with nothing within
It’s a win for the brainless soulless morons
It’s a loss for the innocent who’ve yet to be born
It’s a win for the stupid x 4
Dunning Kruger x 4
In the echo chamber you are played for a dupe
In the echo chamber you are trapped in a loop
In the echo chamber you are trapped in your head
And the only things you’re hearing are the things that you said
It’s the death of the dialog,
the death of calm,
It’s the death of civility,
the death of grace.
It’s the death of humanity,
a basket case.
It’s a win for the stupid x 4
