Prosperity Makes People Dumb

Written by Wes Schaeffer | February 24, 2022

From today’s reading...

In prosperity people lose their good sense, they become no better than dumb animals.” Psalm 49:20

This is the precursor to “Good times make for weak men. Weak men lead to hard times. Hard times lead to strong men. Strong men lead to good times.”

We’ve had so much prosperity that people had the time to invent 37 genders, debate which bathroom to use, and vote a man as woman of the year.

We’ve had so much prosperity that people had the time to invent safe spaces, trigger warnings, and 15 pronouns.

We’ve had so much prosperity that people don’t see how idiotic they are for making a video about how upset they are that their over-worked, underpaid barista misspelled their cosmic name on their $10 coffee order.

The good news is these dumb people are about to get an education. The bad news is, it’s going to be a painful lesson, which is why, now, more than ever, we need to...

Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.

Now go sell something.
