    Hillary saying nothing concrete, and failing at ridicule, Trump succeeding at ridicule, while Hillary feigns it’s meaningless.

  • Never ceases to amaze me how the room temperature IQ crowd raspberries at concep

    Never ceases to amaze me how the room temperature IQ crowd raspberries at concepts that they are too ignorant to grasp yet are so easily drawn in by pseudoscience, ratio-babble, and psychobabble.

    Then I realise that males are as stupid as females when it comes to being fooled by appealing nonsense arguments. And that all that differs between idiot feminism and idiot libertarianism is the flavour of the carrot and the material of the stick.

    Women want to be free of exclusion and men want to be free of the admission of powerlessness. Both seek to be free of the obviousness of their dependence upon their betters.

    So women and men seek comforting lies to help them grasp at the frail straw of self confidence.

    Libertinism or feminism the result is the same: seeking excuse for reproductive undesirability.

    GRAMMAR IS TAUGHT AS JUSTIFICATION, NOT CRITICISM

    But the problem of our era is the elimination of pseudoscience and deceit put forth by marxists, socialists, feminists, and postmodernists.

    So there is no reason we cannot teach grammar as not just ‘the good manners of victorian expression’, but as ‘the art of preventing the pollution of the commons by those who would produce deceptions in vast numbers with ease.

  • Most Rhetoric? Excuses.

    Most rhetoric consists of the search for excuses with which to justify your reproductive strategy while maintaining the rhetorical pretence of moral objectivity – largely by way of asserting we are all equal in ability and value to one another and possessed of equal incentives. Yet this technique is dependent upon the twin biases of empathy with others to inspire agreement, fear of shaming to disincentivize disagreement.

  • Transforming the Academy To A Distributor of Lies

    By Eli Harman The left remade society by transforming the academy from institutions of inquiry and education to ones that simply manufacture and distribute lies. But now, it‘s biting them in the ass. Racialized protests at campuses across North America last summer exposed affirmative action for the sham that it is, as unqualified, ungrateful, and unruly minorities made messes and antagonized serious faculty and students.

    Enrollment at Mizzou is plummeting. Apparently, no one wants to attend an institution which is self-evidently little more than a holding pen for hood rats, where they’re goaded and whipped into a frenzy of envy, entitlement, and enmity, by Marxist intellectuals before being released back into the real world to afflict it. One can only hope that forthcoming numbers from Yale, Princeton, Georgetown, and others, show similar trends. Meanwhile, exploding student debt, and the increasingly obvious bankruptcy and worthlessness of college degrees that mean little more than that their recipients are easy marks, willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars that they don’t have to study bullshit that nobody needs in exchange for credentials that everyone has, is further eroding the credibility and appeal of these fraudulent institutions. Sooner or later the whole house of cards will come tumbling down. And when the money runs out, and the music stops, these bullshit factories are going to start going bust or belly up. It’s going to be a beautiful sight. And we can only hope there will be plenty of people willing to throw some gasoline on the fire, preferably literally.
