Stuff White People Like picked "Awareness" as #18 on the list:An interesting fact about white people is that they firmly believe that all of the world’s problems can be solved through “awareness.” … What makes this even more appealing for white people is that you can raise “awareness” through expensive dinners, parties, marathons, selling t-shirts, fashion shows, concerts, eating at restaurants and bracelets. In other words, white people just have to keep doing stuff they like, EXCEPT now they can feel better about making a difference.Yet, even more than the "Awareness Campaign," it strikes me that the pervasive leitmotif of our age is the "Anti-Awareness Campaign," the semi-organized efforts to keep people from connecting the dots.
Consider how the facts in the Ricci case are repeatedly described as some weird anomaly, when they are simply business as usual in most big cities, barely distinguishable from, say, the Biondocase that dragged on for years in Chicago. But pattern recognition is despised.
The goal is not to impose hypocrisy, but stupidity.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human mind — forever.
