AFRICAN CHICKENS (Mind Liberation #11)

The unfortunate tragedy in Africa is that we have allowed the chickens to lead the eagles!You know the chickens are leading the eagles...
— when one’s worth, ability, & position are determined by one’s degree, pedigree, and blind agreement;
— when respectability depends on activity and not productivity;
— when excuses are the best explanation for failure;
— when we prefer watching TV to reading (eagles read while chickens watch TV);
— when we manage to convince ourselves that chickens are actually eagles;
— when plain stupidity is paraded in the guise of administrative savviness.
This is the order of the day in much of Africa—S.K. Pipim, The Transformed Mind, pp. 235-236.
