We've come to value attention over the reason for it,
turning heads by any means necessary.
But there's only so much meaningful notoriety to go
around, and most of us aren't going to come up with a vaccine or win a Grammy.
So fools rush center stage, bucking and braying for
the camera like jackasses! Each resounding hee-haw lowering the standard for
recognition as it drowns the signal in dumb, hollow noise—and the country is
too busy taking a cinnamon challenge to vote down the forces taking our future.
To influence this circus, the
visionaries will have to get a lot louder and learn to juggle. Chainsaws. On a
flaming unicycle.
