I think the artist clearly intended the old white guys here to be old *Jewish* white guys, but the main thing that strikes me is how razor-thin the line is between the old (evil, despicable) anti-Semitism and the new (good, progressive) anti-White Supremacy is.
It's obviously true that an evil conspiracy of Whiteness rules us and must be smashed...unless their noses are just a tiny bit too big or something. We're gonna need calipers, I think.
Anyway. Without knowing the artist, I think this was created as antisemitic propaganda, but I also think it's possible to read and share it without antisemitic intent, if you're not Extremely Online.
Like they say, if you can hear the dogwhistle, you're the dog.
One particular note: Adam Weishaupt was a Jesuit-educated, proto-rationalist Freemason. The eye in the pyramid is not an antisemitic dogwhistle.

Dude's also one of the main sneerclub people and was part of the effort to publicize Scott's walletname for years before he got NYT's attention. A profoundly weak and small boy.
Just a sad little baby, really, smearing his diarrhea on people thousands of times more valuable and decent than himself, convinced he's accomplishing something. All very Freudian.
If a useless infant like him manipulated NYT, well, NYT's just a used diaper being hurled by a shitty crying baby, isn't it? But I guess that's been clear for a while.

Here's the thing: a polynomial model will _always_ explode outside the sampling region, which is why you _never_ use a polynomial model for extrapolation, and you only use it for interpolation if you know exactly what you're doing.
In a country of 330 million people, any atrocity you want, with any particular set of actors, will happen sooner or later. So you just wait until RNG produces the atrocity your organization is built around, and swing into action.
What happened to George Floyd is an atrocity. But that's not why people are rioting. There will always be a George Floyd, and there will always be people with action plans, waiting for him to arrive.
There will always be a Kelly Thomas, and nothing will happen, because nobody has Kelly Thomas on their action agenda. There will always be an autistic kid in Chicago being tortured, and nothing will happen, because lol spaz en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Chic…
Hard to know where to start. The first anarchist? Yang predates Zhuangzi, but none of Yang's works survive. The first post-rationalist? Zhuangzi's dialogues with Huizi hint at this in how Zhuang dissects Hui's doctrines...but Hui's doctrines are mostly lost, too.
The first troll? Well, Diogenes was about 40 years older. Still, Zhuang stands out among a notoriously dour lot.
The Zhuangzi is half-brilliant and half-indecipherable, because Zhuang existed in a discourse community that was mostly wiped out. He critiqued (and mocked)...
...schools we know basically nothing about any more. So if you want to study Zhuang, expect to be confused by a lot of it. Fortunately, Zhuang didn't go in for grand theories, piling one terminological brick on another. Instead, you can read his chapters independently.
We need to talk about how important it is that parasitic would-be mandarins like the people in this article must under no circumstances be allowed to influence the most important human endeavor of the next hundred years. I spit on them. nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/1…
"Even if words like “colonization” have a different context off-world, on somewhere like Mars, it’s still not OK to use those narratives, because it erases the history of colonization here on our own planet."
Fuck you, fuck your superstitious jabbering, fuck you.
When the "Chair of Astrobiology at the U.S. Library of Congress" sees her job as indistinguishable from that of an Assistant Facilitator for Student Diversity & Inclusion at a community college, we're way past entryism and into theocracy.
