To them that is probably books on human anatomy or something
Along with Logic and Common Sense.
As someone who lives to read it’s sad to see how many hard leftists infest book stores or run them.
It's easier to like communism when your nose is stuck in a book. No concept that they would be put to hard labor, since they think they're geniuses on account of reading a lot. It's just like redditors: the less you get out...
It seems to be one of the main truths of right wingers (rightists?) vs leftists that right wingers enter the real world, but leftists really don't. They never leave their cities except to go to Aspen or something. They are pretty willfully ignorant of what happens in the rest of the world, since they see it as all backwards.
I can concur. I have friends who work at Libraries and they all seem to have the same lefty point of view. They only read the accepted books as well.
This is sort of weird because the older librarians are nothing like this, and love to talk about books.
My friend's mom is a librarian, and she is basically an old school feminist. Which is um different. Cuz you know the whole marriage, bearing children, and raising them thing. I guess for her feminism is also being a librarian, because she's working outside the house. It's less off putting than the modern type.
SHe is really offended by Donald Trump. Not fighting against him in some kind of resistance but just wondering why people would vote for him since he's so ... indecent.
I used to date a librarian and was introduced to those circles. I quickly realized I was very wrong about the character of a librarian. Librarians do not like books. Not in the same way you or I like a Heinlein novel. More than anything they are interested in the classification and organization of books. Does that sound familiar?
Many of the ones I met did fit the timid librarian stereotype but they were outright authoritarian. Not only would they have to ensure things were done their way they always deferred to authority, even in the tiniest matter. And with such conviction and blind acceptance I really couldn't believe it. Having seen this, the mandatory vaccine and mask compliance crazies didn't surprise me (but the sheer number of them did.)
Maybe many here aren't surprised at this and I was naïve. It was still quite the shock. All this woman read was young adult novels. I asked once asked her about Tolstoy and she asked me if he was that old Russian guy who wrote a really long book. She had absolutely no interest in discussing books. Her friends and co-workers were the same. It's still a little hard for me to believe today.
Anyhow, yeah, people running book stores and libraries care more about control of books rather than their content. Unless its an old book written by a white guy. Then it should be removed. Because Authority says it should. And Authority is always correct.
It turns out the "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE! 💕🧪" NPC meme isn't a new thing at all. We only became hyperaware of them because the scamdemic programming made more people act like reddit-tier science believers. In the past these were the people who had subscriptions to famous journals merely to stack them on their coffee table for visitors to see. They might skim through one occasionally to have a smart sounding story to talk about at cocktail parties.
I've seen the coffee table journal thing, too.
That's another thing about these types. They are academic-adjacent but feel they are one the level of actual researchers. Since they catalog all books, they obviously are Authorities on all things.
Dang, well thanks for the breakdown. I used to think it would be awesome to date a librarian or a lady who runs a used bookstore
No, women rarely read classical literature, unless it’s classical dramas. You ask a “well read” woman about Nietzsche and they will spout whatever their social media posts tell them about him. A tiny percentage of women actually read books of significance, and they are never librarians/ teachers/ etc
There's got to be at least a few good ones out there, but I'll tell you now I'm your competition, lol
But as I was trying to convey, and as Alfredic mentioned above it, these positions really draw leftist leaning people. And he has much more understanding of academia than I do.
I think you mentioned liking folksy music: Here is a bittersweet song about librarians
Thanks! Maybe it’s a good thing the few librarians I ever talked to weren’t interested. I do live some old school folk music. Thanks.
Best I can do is Bernard Black in drag, hehe
Alternative fact: an assertion, taken as fact, that contradicts the established reality governed by a very select few people and enforced by the sunk cost fallacy.
It's a giggly communist catchphrase from a moment during Trump's inauguration where people were smugly arguing about the attendance numbers.
You see, when science is born, it comes from fiction. It simply blips from a state of fiction to a state of science, and the science it replace blips to fiction. All hail the perpetual correctness of the science.
