Our World's Self-Destructive Culture of Dead Brains
I previously wrote about influencers and why it is irrational to give them so much money and power.
This piece would make an excellent complement to my recent article on science and exploitation.

WHY? 👇
When wealth and power go to the greedy and stupid, and brilliant minds go unrewarded and unappreciated, society is doomed.
Such a society and its downfall are actually described in a 1957 book. It is written by Ayn Rand and is titled Atlas Shrugged. Read it. I'm sure that the following quotes from the book will grab your attention.
When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, "Who is destroying the world?
…
There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for me to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed or enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt.
…
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.
~ Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
