Critical studies is pseudo-scholarship, or what I like to call "scholarshit." Most if not all citations in this academic grift niche are from the same circle of retards. There is an industry, pointed out decades ago by Camille Paglia, in her great essay "Junk Bonds and Corporate Raiders": a hermetic circle of critical studies citations in papers used exclusively to gain tenure and to present at schmoozing conferences like the MLA, not to add anything new or even interesting to their batshit crazy, unreadable literature, since they make the same arguments with the same sources over and over again, with small permutations.

I hope some independent body continues to investigate every DIE bureaucrat at Harvard. I'm sure more affirmative action scholarshit would be discovered.

I can't think of anything. Human thought is mapped by language, and I suppose that involves some mathematical principles, so, yes . . . I just need to keep in mind Korzybski's adage, "The map is not the territory."

Math, physics, chemistry are highly effective maps of the natural world, so effective you can make predictions about how some stuff will act or behave.

The argument that math and the complex symbol systems required by chemistry, physics, and so forth MUST have been existing out there in the ether or in the mind of an anthropomorphic, omniscient, and omnipotent god has never made sense to me. The latter is just a weird fairy tale left over from when most people believed, not the Bible necessarily but priestly readings of it. Protestant rejection of priestly interpretation made room for empiricism, but they eventually threw the supernatural baby out with the bathwater.

This is why I'm a Buddhist and why "god" is simply shorthand for the condition that gives rise to being born in a body, for naming whatever may be going on before birth and after death.

The Acapulco Gold defense is just as stupid and irresponsible as the Wild Turkey defense--"Honest, your honor,I wouldnt'a done it if Id'a been sober! I'm not responsible for my actions!"

FU--everyone is responsible for every action she takes, bitch.

Young women are going lib because they're told to by their schoolteachers and by TikTok influencers (I hate when people make perfectly good verbs into nouns). Progressivism so-called also appeals to the maternal instinct--the Earth Mother must take care of her children and set them on the righteous path.

Enough to make a man spew.

De superiosity of white people and in the infeoriaritority of black people?

I guess she isn't an English major . . . or maybe she is, on second thought.

How about "retaaaaaaawded" as they say in Boston (a tip o' the hat to Louis CK)?

"A disrespect of science"?!?!?!?!?! Who is this Science guy and where is he so I can stomp the shit out of him? Is it Bill Nye?

"Justin Trudeau is a metrosexual buffoon." What a great opening line.

Imprisoned Canadian truckers = imprisoned 1/6 demonstrators.

They're political prisoners. Too bad Amnesty International cares nothing for political persecution at home.

Jesus. Her Valley Girl inflection is like a nail through both ears.

Peddle your ass on OnlyFans, bitch.

Face it, hacks are going to the Unemployment office. Real journos and commentators with some integrity are building followers on Substack and Rumble.

The only paper outlet I support is the Chicago Sun-Times. They have the best sports section in the nation, and I don't even know what their editorial opinions are because they don't feature them as a major part of their newsPAPER.

This assumption has been in operation for decades and is nothing new:

“People of color, as a social group, do not have the societal, institutional power to oppress white people as a group,” the training states. “An individual person of color abusing a white person – while clearly wrong, (no person should be insulted, hurt, etc.) is acting out a personal racial prejudice, not racism.”

The mealymouthed PR flak for U of W says:

I think the way in which this particular project was executed made more people feel excluded than included in these kinds of conversations and that’s the opposite of what we want.

The hivemind has no time for the individual. To them the individual is at all times operating under the abstract groups alleged assumptions.

This must be what it's like to think like an ant in an anthill, or a bee in a hive. But this disrespects ants and bees.

The problem is deeper. Teachers are certified only if they have degrees, and schools of education without exception teach Paolo Friere's theories as The Last Word.

Public ed reform requires the dismantling of the federal Dept.of Education and a re-orientation of teachers' colleges away from neo-Marxist identitarianism and gender indoctrination..

Don't hold your breath.
