Chapter 9 Amoebas

Verse 1

Everyday at work i see people behaving like total amoebas, no insult intended to the amoebas. I actually believe amoebas are quite smart for being singlecelled organisms.
But people on the other hand behave as if they don't have a single braincell to call their own. Sometimes i wonder if it is the result of progress that people more and more often cant seem to function properly and fend for themselves.
If so i fear for our survival. Not my own as much because i am still capable of remembering the alphabet and i know the difference between left and right, right and wrong for that matter but that's another story.
Simple things like "Look to your left" or "By the sign that says such and such you can find what you are looking for" seems to be spoken in ancient Hebrew and be assembly-instructions for a rocket, judging by the look of total confusion on peoples faces.

Verse 2

Each and every time i encounter people as the ones described above i think that they should be grateful that humanity have moved on since the time when we where all hunter-gatherers. They would have starved, been eaten by animals while being savagely beaten by fellow tribesmen. Which leads me to the conclusion that progress isn't all good.
At certain times in life we should be put in a maze and all those that cant find their way out might best used as litterpickers along our highways.
One good thing about the singlecelled people is of course that they make the rest us seem so much smarter by comparison.
