His writeup on this is truly incredible. Imagine creating an AI that can predict a person's racial background with almost perfect accuracy from just a few scans and assuming this must be an error of a biased AI instead of your own ideology
Pretty much every single paragraph is a gold mine in what it reveals about who is now doing our medical Science! and what they are motivated to confirm as True
It would be deeply funny except these are the people in charge of all of our health
I could be crazy but I think the AI might be trying to tell you something important
Maybe even something that might be relevant to your work in medicine, that would benefit *all* of us to better understand
Once again the Science! leads to conclusions so horrifying to the modern mind that those doing the research are corn-cobbed into contemporary Lovecraft protagonists driven mad by the reality of what their investigations have caused them to see
Lol. I swear I hadn't even read this part yet, but in the perfect parallel to the Lovecraft character who is in horrified disbelief of what he has learned, his only answer is to keep digging deeper—
Expecting that will, in the end, *decrease* his madness.
Source is here if you want to read for yourself. Either I am wrong about everything, or this is massively revealing about the level of thinking going on in even the core functions of our system.
As the Ground Zero of the revivalism of THE SHIELD, this is your regular reminder that if you haven't already watched it, you should start doing so now
It is hard for me to express how much I love THE SHIELD without sounding like a maniac, because its combination of characters, narrative, morality, and the way these three interlocking elements drive the story is unparalleled in modern television.
Deadwood might be the most Shakespearean-sounding show, Breaking Bad has almost the same narrative urge, and The Wire has the most elite appeal
But I believe THE SHIELD is the closest modern TV has gotten to Shakespeare or the Greeks. For real
The American social trend is that progressivism undergoes rapid algal bloom every 30-odd years, though (2010s; early 1990s; 1960s; 1930s; 1900ish; 1865; 1830s), and then retreats for a generation
So the safe money is on this simply being another iteration of the cycle
The process of liberalism seems to be something like, Next generation comes up, finds the laws and norms it finds itself within ignorant and oppressive, and throws them off
This isn't about her at all, it's about what the encompassing ideology wants from all of us:
To convince us that it is natural to be too anxious to function, and that rather than mustering the skills + will to push through your doubts, it is better—heroic!—to retreat from them
Simone Biles—definitely not us, the media!—could "change attitudes" about why it's actually good for you to be just as worthless as the massively dysfunctional journalist class that is redetermining your attitudes about the meaning of this event!
It seems to me that a huge driver of leftism, on both its Marxist and liberal wings, is due to the fact so few people now own their own businesses or even *tenant* farms
A modern employee/renter seems to have less autonomy than even a serf expected to till his lord's land!
If this sounds insane, remember that the goal of the WEF is for you to own literally nothing, which means to be *responsible* for nothing. Which is a level of eternal childhood: for adulthood is the act of taking responsibility, and learning to steward for yourself
If I can stray off the reservation, I believe that much of the "alienation" of capitalism is in fact this, the alienation of people from direct ownership of their own businesses, or productive smallholder land.
When business was skeptical of if not tacitly hostile to the leftist urge, it created a kind of balance of powers
Now that it's working hand-in-glove with full-burn progressivism, we're standing on a very dangerous ledge, a political phase-shift we haven't seen since post-WW2
Between roughly 1948-2014, intellectual/bureaucratic life was essentially left-liberal
But business was largely right-liberal. So if you disagreed with gov-academic intellectual consensus, you could still exist within the economic sphere, that was not actively hostile to you
There was a kind of balance, which left politics essentially stable. Even during the Troubles of the 1960s-70s, when the ruling class reshaped political society, right-liberals could still participate within economic society. There was still an out to at least exist.
Despite all progressivism's efforts, humans still care about their own children. Since "education" is the most important element of your kid's life, deciding who controls that education is the best means to create a permanent cultural schism away from these people
This is why the campaign to ban CRT is critical. Not only is it working for once—fueled by parental urges that may be one of the only forces as strong as the leftist urge—but it opens the doorway to the creation of state-funded parallel institutions to the regime
Let's think through the three basic outcomes here
1) Anti-CRT wins outright, no more teaching white kids they're devils
2) Anti-CRT results in a muddled legal outcome that creates immense pressure for vouchers/school withdrawal
