Carl Hiassen
The Devolution Will Be Completely Televised
September 1, 2025
We’re
quite fond of Carl Hiassen’s books here at Paying Attention™. The featured
quote below comes from his 2018 book for adolescents Squirm.
Working
at a grocery store, you meet lots of nice folks and see many acts of kindness.
But you also witness scenes that make you wonder if our species is evolving in
the wrong direction – backward, into the ancient slime we crawled from millions
of years ago, when we were just innocent little fish growing legs.
Working
or not working just about anywhere else too.
And
the jury is way out on our current direction. We are clearly at a tipping point
and the most powerful person on the planet is a lizard-brained sadist with zero
regard, no strike that, utter, steaming contempt for humankind and the planet
we inhabit.
Maybe, but not for long.
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought
For The Day.
Carl Haissen, huh? Has he ever heard of me?
