What if the competent go on strike?

Imagine…

A world where all the competent people go on strike.  A world where the geniuses as well as those with common sense would rather work as a janitor or a bag-man in a supermarket.

A world where incompetent people rule with an iron hand.

If those we look up to suddenly go on strike and we are left with a world full of incompetent people.. where would society be?

Well… think about it.  A country which is ruled by incompetent people would mean lots of holidays.. lots of free time.. and a whole lot of mess.  Society as we know it would crumble and fade away in a matter of years. Oil prices would go up… hunger and strife will prevail.  Society will break down and life as we know it will move to a mere crawl.

If the rational and intelligent people go on strike… then everyone will be at a loss.  Where is our society now?  Think… aren’t we nearing that stage?  It may be impossible that the competent will go on strike.. but it may be possible that the competent will lose their interest in society and leave everything to the incompetent. 

Come to think of it… we are at an age wherein we now rely more on technology rather than rationality.  People would believe more in numbers rather than taking the risk and believing in human intuition.

WE ARE AT AN AGE WHERE THE INCOMPETENT MAY RULE!!

We might think that this is just a phase… that in time, everything will be put in its place and it’ll all return to normal.  Which boils down to one thing… if we are ruled by those who are incompetent, how can we say that it’ll return to normal?  It is a horrific thought indeed…
