The You-will-be-rich-someday-Myth

myth_you_be_rich_some_day

We as social animals strive to raise up in the ranks to get access to better genetic breeding material and security for ourselves and our offspring.

So many of us dream of becoming rich – and it will be an illusion for 99,99%.

Thanks to mass media we constantly watch the rich and the super rich. We play the lottery or hope to be discovered somehow to get money and fame.

Still this is just wishful thinking … overall social mobility is down and the middle class is shrinking since the 1980’s in Western Nations.

The Shaming-the-Rich-Myth

myth_shaming_the_rich_greedy

You can’t shame rich or greedy people – shamelessness is usually what made them rich in the first place.

The old new Problem of Teenage Mothers

modern_teenage_mothers

Teenage Mothers are not a new phenomenon. Since the Industrial Revolution the family has become smaller and smaller.

Patchwork Families and Single Parents are now almost the norm. Today unruly teenager produces more babies than ever. Especially fuelled by free sex (basically a good thing), recreational drugs (mostly weed) and binge drinking (basically a very bad thing – especially for youngsters).

This just fuels the growth of a new underclass: kids who grow up without a father (usually), underprivileged because mom never got a good education or never had the time to get a career.

The Young-Stallion-Myth

modern_show_us_your_dick

Click for a bigger presentation.

Young guys love to show off their virility, aggression and power – or so they think, unless they have to really show it to some females.

The physical exam during the muster is quite a humiliating procedure and part of the psychological procedure to strip away your humanity to become a better soldier.

The Self-Promotion-Myth

myths_celebrity_twitter

Just because you are a celebrity doesn’t mean you need to share every stupid aspect of your life with us. Modern Media Sluts have forgotten what it means to "lead by example".

A new "message modesty" is in order for many A-List Twitt-Titts.

We respect your desire to promote your "brand", but real time reports of your digestive system and your overpaid friends will only earn you disrespect.

The Part-of-me-lives-on-Myth

myth_clones

When you clone yourself only some of your genes will live on, but these have nothing to do with your personality or achievements.

You will simply die as everybody else no matter how many kids you produce.

The Casting-Show-Myth

myths_casting_shows

Casting Shows are made to ridicule you and other contenders – so the producers make loads of money. These shows are not interested in making you famous or “give you a chance to become successful”.

The Always-On-Generation-Myth

myths_always_on_helm_cam

No, your personal life is not a "brand" that needs to be shared and fostered by sharing every minute of your life on the intranets.

Collecting and recording every titbit of your existence is not the same of actually living it. Canned memories are not the same as experience. Or are you planning to "experience" it all once you retire and finally grow up?

The Violence-Works-Myth

myth_violent_left_block

Let’s smash some shop windows – that will change the world!

During many (leftist) peaceful demonstrations against global warming, globalization, global finance and global anything there is always a hardcore "black block" ready to smash things up.

Political violence obviously works – if used correctly and not just to stupidly smash things up.

Democracy works by the separation of power and therefore regulated violence. The power of the streets certainly can change "the system" and influence politicians, but it’s always a question against whom you apply that pressure / violence.

Small shopkeepers are hardly "the system". Even smashing up a Bank or McDonalds won’t change anything and won’t impress anyone. They simply claim it as an insurance accident.

I have never heard of the "black block" attacking Lobbyists or Politicians directly. Why not storm a fundraiser sponsored by dirty industries? Or blockade a lobbyist agency or other policy wonks?

Attacking symbols of the system looks good on camera, but isn’t effective. Violence / pressure only works applied with brains and endurance.

Otherwise the political power is wasted and your stupid violent action makes you the laughing stock of your opponents.

The Oktoberfest-Myth

myth_oktoberfest

Any event can be turned into success with the right amount of beer and boobs. Thanks to greed the so called "Gemütlichkeit" has been turned into a costume party with too much beer.

The Girlie-Men-Myth

myth_girly_men

I think we shouldn’t give a crap about that dualistic thinking of male and female. Even tough guys should explore all aspects of human existence – even that of Girls.

Girlie-Men are cool!

The Back-To-Nature-Myth

myth_back_to_nature

No going back to living a "natural life" is not the solution for humanity. Many Africans live quite natural – and therefore starve, face terrible sickness, are uneducated and have shot life expectancies. That’s not what I would call a good life!

We develop human culture and technology to survive and have better, safer, healthier and longer lives.

And you can’t feed six billion people just with a hunting and ploughing the fields with horses.

The Your-Personal-Style-Myth

myths_personal_style

Since the invention of consumerism producers of mass produced products have washed our brains – telling us that their products perfectly suit each individuals personal style and character.

Mass produced individuality for a mass of willing idiots.

But you are worth it!

The Higher-Education-Myth

myths_diploma

In a global market a diploma no longer guarantees your job security and a bright future. A graduate from China or India will do your white collar job as good as an expensive youngster from the USA or Europe.

The Ugliness-is-cool-Myth

myth_ugliness_is_cool

Some freakish collectors relish the joy of collecting especially ugly or disfigured animals or "things". So other equally ruthless "breeders" create this creatures for profit. I only wish we could magically transform the owners into their own possessions, so they can suffer from over breeding, like weak bones and unusable noses.

The Toys-are-only-for-Humans-Myth

myth_toys_are_only_for_humans

Humans once said they are the only ones that use tools. That has been debunked – many animals use tools. Humans once said only they had "real" language. That has also been debunked. Humans once said they are only ones that create art. That has been debunked by painting elephants and monkeys.

Now those creepy animals even use "our" toys!

The Beauty-with-Brains-Myth

As recent events have shown: Beauty and Brains rarely come in one package. And all the time spend grooming and presenting yourself is lost time to educating yourself. That much peroxide can’t be good for the brain either …

The Big-Boobs-Make-You-Famous-Myth

There is no shortage of Big Media Boobs and way too many women think some added silicon and beauty operation will grant them fame.

Your breasts might get famous, but you will only be another sleazy C-List Star. And many never and bigger oversized fertility princesses are waiting to take your place.

The Danger-Tourism-Myth

myths_we_are_safe_here

Sure Honey, it’s safe here … and we are only watching!

Each year thrill seeking tourists kill themselves despite explicit warnings and signs at dangerous places. Bored rich westerners are willing to do literally everything to get an “exciting” vacation.

Too bad that Lions in Africa actually eat people, as well as Sharks and Crocodiles in Australia …

I say let them die, time to trim the herd anyway.

The Doctor-keeps-you-healthy-Myth

myth_doctors

Doctors don’t know everything about health – and often lead very stressful and unhealthy lives. Hardly good role models to follow.

Plus it’s your body that heals itself – most medicine just supports your own health system. So be responsible and keep yourself in good shape, don’t expect someone else to offer a quick fix for years of abuse of your own "temple".

And you should never trust just one doctors opinion when it comes to important decisions like operations. Visit at least another expert – if you can afford it …

Just because you deliver a stunning performance doesn’t mean you will be generally admired.

Today’s rich athletes either excel in popular sport many people enjoy themselves (like football, golf or tennis) or a totally mad and dangerous sport (like FMX).

Less exciting sports hardly get covered in the media and therefore it’s athletes hardly make any money.
