Losers

Tom Ball

    “I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me!”
    Beck

    My latest work was a documentary of losers. I found numerous people who were talented but didn’t quite have the chemistry to be a winner.
    I said, “It’s not about winning, but rather trying your best. Putting your best foot forward.”
    She said, “Women these days are greedier than men. They are 60% of CEOs and 70% of Billionaires.”
    I said, “Men have nothing to prove. And are interested in sex and drugs primarily.”
    And I said, “Women can knock themselves out as super rich people, but eventually they’ll realize all that matters, is, comfort for your mind.”
    And I said, “And love these days was mostly free and so too, drugs.”
    “Why struggle to get rich when everything is available for free? It seems many women feel they have something to prove,” I added.
    And I said, “But the rich are far less rich relatively than past times, we live in a socialist paradise where everyone is looked after. Trillionaires didn’t happen.
    And the poor have access to the best drugs and to the best lovers. It all depended on your natural intelligence.
    It could be said that intelligence was the currency these days.
    And rich women wanted intelligent men and were willing to pay big bucks for their lovers.
    Men were happy to take their money but were rarely faithful or loyal to their rich lovers.
    Some said sex was the true currency here, not intelligence. But it was a moot point.
    Those that were especially intelligent designed Virtual Reality Worlds which were very popular.
    Those who were good at sex, got the best lovers, generally speaking, though sometimes the rich got the best.
    But the rich wanted trophy lovers to show off, and most great lovers were not interested in them.
    It could even be said that most people were anti-rich and wanted to tax billionaires out of existence. Finally, one day they passed such a law and henceforth one could be worth a maximum of $10 million. The windfall was used to build better VR Worlds. Suddenly money didn’t matter any more, everyone was worth about the same. So losers now seemed like everyone else...
