In a shocking turn of events, the Supreme Court has recently ruled against affirmative action programs at prestigious institutions such as Harvard and the University of North Carolina. In a unanimous decision, the Court declared that only "smart people" should be granted admission, leaving the rest of us mere mortals to wallow in our intellectual mediocrity.
It seems that the days of diversity and equal opportunity are numbered, as the Court's decision effectively shuts the door on any attempts to level the playing field. Who needs affirmative action when we can just rely on the brilliance of the so-called "smart people" to solve all of society's problems? After all, it's not like intelligence is a subjective and multifaceted concept that can be accurately measured by a standardized test, right?
With this ruling, the Supreme Court has essentially given a green light to institutions to discriminate against those who don't fit their narrow definition of "smart." So, if you're not a genius with a photographic memory and an IQ that rivals Einstein's, you might as well kiss your dreams of attending these prestigious universities goodbye.
But fear not, my fellow average Joes and Janes! We may not have the intellectual prowess of the "smart people," but we have something they don't – a sense of humor. So while they're busy solving complex mathematical equations and conducting groundbreaking scientific research, we'll be over here cracking jokes and making the world a slightly more bearable place to live.
Perhaps it's time for us to start our own exclusive club, where admission is based not on intelligence, but on the ability to make people laugh. We'll call it the "Society of Silly People" – a place where wit and humor reign supreme, and the only requirement is a knack for making others chuckle.
Imagine a world where the "smart people" are left to their own devices, solving complex equations and pondering the mysteries of the universe, while the rest of us gather in our silly society, laughing and enjoying life. It may not be as prestigious as Harvard or U.N.C., but at least we won't have to worry about being rejected for not being "smart" enough.
So, let the Supreme Court have their "smart people only" institutions. We'll be over here, embracing our mediocrity and spreading laughter wherever we go. After all, who needs Harvard when you can have a good laugh?
