The Big Eraser [KT]
Erasing Scientific Inquiries
One recent example of the Left erasing scientific inquiry was when Brown University published a note about a study concerning "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" and was attacked by a howling mob of activists. They apologized and retracted the note. Of course, this is not the first time something like this has happened. And many researchers have avoided researching certain topics for fear of activating the mob.Heather MacDonald Fights Back The College Fix reviews a new book by Heather MacDonald, The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture.
"The Diversity Delusion" rebuts many of the Left's sacrosanct narratives with piles of facts, studies, anecdotes and observations. It would serve as a fantastic tool for any young college student seeking to address their peers' grievances with data over feelings.MacDonald also managed to get a piece written in TIME:
"You have blood on your hands. You're a murderer," shouted one of the protesters at Judge Brett Kavanaugh during the Senate hearings of his nomination to the Supreme Court. This apocalyptic rhetoric had been espoused before -- at none other than the Yale Law School, . . There, a group of alumni and professors circulated an open letter declaring that selecting Kavanaugh "presents an emergency -- for democratic life, for our safety and freedom, for the future of our country." People "will die" if Kavanaugh is confirmed, the letter announced.Whoa.
Taught by a metastasizing campus-diversity bureaucracy to believe that they are subject to an existential threat from circumambient bias, students equate nonconforming ideas with "hate speech," and "hate speech: with conduct that should be punished, censored and repelled with force if necessary.MacDonald will be speaking at a DOJ Forum on Free Speech in Higher Education on September 17. Erasing Knowledge from Libraries
Richard Fernandez:
The fire which destroyed as many as 20 million artifacts in Brazil's national museum was caused perhaps by the most trivial of accidental circumstances. The Brazilian culture minister's explanation that the blaze was likely caused "by either an electrical short-circuit or a homemade, paper hot-air balloon that may have landed on the roof" was greeted by riots because mischance does not satisfy the human urge to blame someone when things go wrong. ut catastrophes can happen for no discernible reason. Historically natural disasters have vied with human malevolence in the destruction of libraries. . . .
The destruction of 20 million Brazilian records, tragic as it might be, pales in comparison to the potential loss of the digital libraries upon which our world depends. The 21st century is generating libraries at an unimaginable rate and they are by no means safe. . . .
Some data is even thrown away in real time. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey explained how they could ban anyone they wanted. "Not even President Donald Trump is immune from being kicked off the platform if his tweets cross a line with abusive behavior. ... The Twitter CEO also denied a Wall Street Journal report that he personally intervened to keep far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and white supremacist Richard Spencer on the site." If it was decided someone should go then off they went; it was as simple as that. The archivists rule. Today's librarians no longer operate out of ivy covered buildings in bucolic campuses with collections of a few millions. They now operate on an unimaginably gigantic scale using hardware scattered across continents. For the most part the public don't even know who they are. Yet these librarians wield enormous power: the effect of their decisions on access, erasure or alteration of digital data are identical in impact to fire and earthquake on earlier paper. Their power is even greater because digital libraries, unlike physical ones, can not only be destroyed but changed continuously. . . .Read the whole thing. Thoughts? Maybe one challenge is that they don't want us to remember where we came from. Maybe we should make some time to remember.

My go to decision is that if it's being screamed about by the usual suspects, then it's the right thing to do.
Just like the hysteria on all the news and weather channels over Florence, these same media denigrate and make most people skeptical of their dire warnings. It's a hurricane. It's going to be windy and rainy. Get out after boarding up.Come back after and clean up. I see it out here in the Northwest with the predictions of earthquakes. Yes, it can happen. Yes, it'll be as bad as it'll be. Be prepared, be safe. Get through it.

One of the common beliefs regarding why the Bible, and the Gospels in particular, are reliable is that the people who kept knowledge did so orally, before writing was common. So you could tell a story in, say 33AD, and write it down in 70AD for the first time, and the story that was told some 37 years earlier hasn't changed a bit.
So fast forward to today... how do we even know something that somebody said two days ago will not vanish down the rabbit hole?
We don't.
What does or does not keep "truth" alive, is the desire of the hearer of said truth to hold onto it. And when the pervasive attitude is to destroy a particular unwelcomed truth?
Well, I think history has never better prepared to do so than it is today.

The worse thing about the whole scam is that there are real environmental issues that are catastrophic locally.
These issues are not getting addressed in the big push by our modern day Luddites to demonize technology while at the same time trying to globalize government.

Posted by: BurtTC at September 15, 2018 12:02 PM (cY3LT)
They have a mistaken premise. They think a person's aptitude in a certain field comes from images of people with the same physical characteristics that they possess (genetalia, skin tone) who were prominent being presented to that person during their education. I think that's wrong.
Let's say you have a smart white boy and a stupid black girl. You tell the boy that the great scientists were all black lesbian cripples (or whatever). That will not diminish his native aptitude or his native curiosity in his chosen subject. Likewise the girl, being presented with a similar "narrative" won't all of a sudden become intelligent or interested in any field that the educators are trying to try lure her into via narcissism based on physical resemblance.
The whole project is doomed to fail. I think the affirmative action part of it is more despicable and harmful than the historical revisionism. But I expect at some point alternative companies and institutions will spring up as the PC institutions fester, degenerate and repel all people with real ability. You can't keep a good man down.

Kearns noted that no one reported on the fall or the fact that the speech was scattered and virtually lost.
Kearns noted that the White House would not report on such embarrassing things out of respect for the office. Senior reporters would tell younger reporters not to take photos or report on such things.
Then, the reporters starting showing Gerald Ford trip or George Bush throwing up on a Japanese official. Now, these reporters make those miscues the story.
I think it goes even further. They report on things that aren't there, like Melania not holding her husband's hand or a fist bump at Andrews AFB.
It has become childish and corrosive.

So... it will shock you to learn, the current version of lefty internet and apparently Larry "Rosy" O'Donnell are up in arms at Laura Ingraham for attributing it to Moynihan. Claiming it was first uttered by W, in a speech when he was Prez.

Socialism for the WIN!!
Nearly 40 percent of all Venezuelan stores have closed —some of them perhaps permanently —after the government of President Nicolas Maduro increased the minimum salary by nearly 3,500 percent in one fell swoop, according the National Council of Commerce and Services of Venezuela.
Many of the companies, which had been barely surviving the gradual collapse of the economy, saw the salary increase and other changes announced last month as the fatal blow in a series of policies that have been gradually strangling their businesses.

In direct contrast, New Hampshire's motto, adopted in 1945, is "Live Free or Die". That was after a war where some 55 million died, most of them killed by the Axis powers that were willing to kill for their more totalitarian version of living free (via the control of others).
Historically the left (including NAtional Zocialist party of Germany, Nazis) have always been the ones ready to kill in order to impose their ideology. They lie about having virtues (principuhls), because they want power, control and wealth by any means necessary (deception being a very useful means).
Orwell outlined the diabolical side of socialism, even though he himself was "socialist". But his "1984" Ministry of Truth minions now have the power to search massive volumes of text and sort out the offending "Wrong Think", in old texts and current social media. They then punish the writer or reader (de-platform/censor), then edit the manuscript to an "improved" PC version.
Kids are not taught about justice and liberty being attained/retained by the sword. The Thatcher Fountain (1918, Denver) has a woman as the central figure, with a sword resting in her right hand. She is surrounded by other figures representing loyalty, love and learning. Loyalty has a male with armor and a sword, and a woman with an olive branch. Those virtues arrive under the umbrella of strength.
(they can't delete large fountains, but these liberal jihadists will seek to destroy them in time, given the chance)

Boyfriend proposes to her on the beach on Thursday; she accepts.
Friday her new fiance goes to gov office to renew his SA passport which has expired. He was born in SA and has lived there his entire life. His bio father is Belgian and lives in Belgium.
Bitch at gov office says: "Your father isn't South African and our law says you are also NOT therefore South African, and now I am going to ensure you are instantly deported to Belgium because your SA passport is expired.
So 24 hours after getting engaged, Eldest Daughter hugs him at airport as he is deported (under heavy guard of course) to Belgium.

Is this a metal or wood screen door? Butt hinge or continuous hinge?
Posted by: Skip at September 15, 2018 01:22 PM (T4oHT)
It's a metal screen door, since I'm done with vinyl ones. There's no hinge; it's a sliding screen door backed by a glass patio door (which, on closer examination, has the same problem, but to a lesser extent, and in any case the door is deep enough in the slot that there's no visible gap.)
Apparently the slot for the screen door is more out of true. One possibility that occurred to me was to place a piece of wood in the screen slot and whack the wood a few times with a mallet in hopes of getting some more room for the door.
Whaddya think? I mean, if the aluminum bent a bit from the house settling, maybe I could ... uh ... de-settle it a bit.

Bullshit.
Although, come to think of it, you DID put the word "philosophy" in scare quotes. Philosophy, the search for truth and wisdom, is not BS at all.
But any "philosophy" that starts with the premise that objective truth does not exist and that the wisdom of the ages is worthless is ANTI-philosophical. It can only be sophistry or ideology* --- IOW, bullshit.
(I'm using "ideology" in the original Marxist sense of ideas in service to revolutionary action.)

Right, Gerson was the Bush speechwriter who used it in '99. I believe Rush was using it long before that, because I don't listen to Rush anymore (no other reason than I don't have the time), and I can remember him talking about it way back when.
He was also fond of playing excerpts from JFK speeches, where Kennedy was all in for free market principles. The left has been working hard to erase that one from the memory banks too.

What about that anonymous report that Maxine Waters once talked to a Chinese spy about doing "things" with a Shetland pony while in high school.
You know it can't be true. I mean ... high school !!

Marx and Engles might also fit there

Marx isn't quite as awful because at least he is making systematic arguments. There's structure to what he is saying, even if his premises are all wrong.
He may (usually) be dry and tedious --- especially in Das Kapital --- but he's coherent.

NBC just uncritically assumes its a Hitler salute, without any skepticism.

My personal favorite is the crazy Arkansas lateral in their game against Ole Miss that was directly responsible for Alabama making it to that year's national championship.

Bullshit.
Although, come to think of it, you DID put the word "philosophy" in scare quotes. Philosophy, the search for truth and wisdom, is not BS at all.
But any "philosophy" that starts with the premise that objective truth does not exist and that the wisdom of the ages is worthless is ANTI-philosophical. It can only be sophistry or ideology* --- IOW, bullshit.
(I'm using "ideology" in the original Marxist sense of ideas in service to revolutionary action.)
Posted by: Margarita DeVille at September 15, 2018 01:54 PM (0jtPF)
Yes, I understand the "good" in Philosophy. I should have specified "Philosophy" as a course subject in college--and exposing young undergrads to it. THAT is bullshit.
Now if truly brilliant. well-read people want to sit around and discuss the meaning of life and the search for truth, fine.

Honestly, this is what worries me about the Ole Miss game. They have NOTHING to lose. Absolutely nothing. They can play like crazy and only worry about this one game, and that makes them very dangerous.
