Library Journal Comes Out Against... Libraries



David Thompson quotes this fine article:

Ms Leung airs her distaste for “white men ideas” – as if they had been uniform across continents and throughout history - while reminiscing about attending a "white AF conference" two years earlier. I was unsure what the “AF” might refer to and searched for some literary or scholarly explanation. It then occurred to me that a "white AF conference" is, to borrow the woke vernacular, a white as fuck conference. Which is how not-at-all-racist academic librarians convey their thoughts, apparently.


If you look at any United States library's collection, especially those in higher education institutions, most of the collections (books, journals, archival papers, other media, etc.) are written by white dudes writing about white ideas, white things, or ideas, people, and things they stole from POC and then claimed as white property... When most of our collections filled with this so-called "knowledge," it continues to validate only white voices and perspectives and erases the voices of people of colour.

At which point, things get a little breathless and intermittently grammatical. However, readers may wish to ponder how synthesising insights from around the world, and from cultures long gone, and preserving those insights, in libraries, is somehow a bad thing. Readers may also wish to ponder the implications of a librarian and self-styled educator, schooled at the University of Washington and Barnard College, New York, and who is offended, something close to enraged, by the existence of "white ideas" and the "so-called 'knowledge'" of "white dudes."

8 A people obsessed with Year Zero has to burn books. I actually found a book by David Irving in my university library's history section.

The problem is: libraries are one of the things universities absolutely need. If their collections are sold off or destroyed, suddenly anyone can supplant them.

Sometimes I see the hand of Trump where it should be implausible. Even impossible.

22 In college, I was talking to a teacher in class and the topic was academic scholarship.

I asked how we could get more interpretations of Huckleberry Finn that had any closer relationship to the actual meaning of the text. What value was there in a Marxist Feminist reading of Mark Twain? She laughed along with me at the ridiculousness, but I think we might have gotten there a few years back.

Academics have to write and publish, and they have to find things to write about. They can't write another thing about how Huckleberry Finn is about racism, so they write about how Huckleberry Finn is about transgenderism. It doesn't need to ever get cited, just published. That's all that matters.

51 Willowed:

Speaking of good anime-

If you like cleverly written (for the most part) stupid comedy, and I do-

"Squid Girl" is pretty great.

You can find both seasons plus the OVA stuff on Crunchyroll.

The plot concerns a girl with "squid-powers" decided to invade the surface world and punish the humans who have polluted and dumped garbage into her world.

Only she doesn't know anything about the surface world and winds up being forced to be a lowly waitress in a beach side cafe after she damages the cafe in her initial "invasion".

It's a very light and very silly. All it wants to do is make you laugh.

Check it out.

98 Her shit isn't even new, it's EXACTLY W.E.B. Dubois who came back to the United States with this shit after having gone to the Frankfurt school.

He's literally the reason that black culture moved from responsible, mature, restrained, achievement to the current disaster.

Nela Larsen literally contemplates the change in her post modern Harlem renaissance books in the 20th century. Although she doesn't seem to realize what she's actually recording.

This nitwit is doing the same. The idea is that certain ideas, behaviors, attitudes and world view are "white" and therefore should be rejected. They include such concepts as promptness, sexual restraint, marriage, consistent work, sobriety, and speaking volume.

Old Frankfurt school (marx) ideas still being pushed,of course. They act like they're edgy, but they're just parroting marx again.

Again, everything the left says and does is about destroying western civilization---not because it exploited brown people---but because it is the only thing standing in the way of global communism.

This is more of the Frankfurt School's Critical Theory in action. Their goal was to destroy America from within by criticizing every single aspect of American life. If there's nothing wrong with one part of it, then a criticism is fabricated out of thin air and it's made into something evil and malevolent, like learning.

So the society must be destroyed in order for one to feel comfortable in one's ... skin. These people must be terrified by the very idea of critical self-examination.

It's a matter of sacrifice. Every time an institution disgraces itself, be it the DoJ, the IC, Big Tech, and on and on, people on our side lament that they can't be destroyed because we need them, there are some good guys in them after all, and blah, blah, blah. A million comfort-based reasons for inertia.

America will be the first country to go Communist because they are too comfortable instead of too afflicted.

193 Physical libraries are rapidly becoming obsolete. Back in the 70s, universities used to fret about the growing number of scientific journals, and where they'd put them.

But now, as more and more sources are available online, the problem is disappearing. Who would rather go into a physical library - especially a civic one, full of vagrants, junkies, and nut jobs - than look up and read things online?

195 Also, the premise of "cultural appropriation is wrong/bad" is ridiculous.

Cultures share, and incorporate successful ideas from other cultures. They ALL do it. The idea that these books are bad because:

1. They are based on one culture ("white")
AND
2. They incorporate ideas from other cultures without credit*

How does one make sense of those two conflicting assertions? You don't, which is the whole point of the SJW game: heads I win, tails you lose, bigot!!

*Regarding not giving credit, that assumes every shared thought, trend, etc. could be easily traced. That's not true.

Thing is, they're nice, affable people. Too often you find folks with unusual hair coloration or hairstyles are neither nice, nor affable, nor even tolerable to be around. >_> At this point it's almost reflexive to be wary of nonstandard hair colors unless you already know the person.

The prosecutors now say they are releasing the video post haste, in advance of a court telling them they cannot. This is amazing to me. Prosecutors won't go after government figures for anything at all, or gay or black celebs either, but private citizens with no victim status they freely extort.

Certain things - like journals and periodicals - do lend themselves to non-physical storage.

But other things - art books, real literature, biographies, histories - really don't.

We still absolutely have need of physical books in actual libraries.

The public ones are being destroyed ON PURPOSE. don't just accept it!

Even in a single small office one can carefully put together a fine basic library. I did it for my children and their children, and many of the books were given to me by my parents. I have many books that are out of print and cannot be had (nor downloaded!).

For what's coming, what has already begun? Humanity will eventually be in need of the truth. Amazon and Google aren't going to safeguard the truth; they don't now! Who do you trust to keep our histories and novels true, online? I trust no one.

260 What is Critical Librarianship?

On May 16th, 2007, Sanford Berman sent a proposal to the Cataloging
Policy Support Office of the Library of Congress that recommended a
new subject heading, Critical Librarianship.[1] Berman applied the
recommended subject heading to Librarianship and Human Rights
by Toni Samek. As of June 5th, 2015, critical librarianship does not
appear as a Library of Congress subject heading. This act, though,
exemplifies what critical librarianship embodies. It places
librarianship within a critical theorist framework that is
epistemological, self-reflective, and activist in nature. According to
Elaine Harger, librarians that practice critical librarianship strive to
communicate the ways in which libraries and librarians consciously and
unconsciously support systems of oppression.[2] Critical librarianship
seeks to be transformative, empowering, and a direct challenge to power
and privilege.
Librarians have a rich history of practicing critical librarianship.
Toni Samek states that critical librarianship is rooted in the U.S.
progressive library movement and intellectual freedom rhetoric of the
1930s.[3] It is reflected in our profession both within professional
associations with the creation of the ALA Social Responsibilities Round
Table in 1969 and outside of formal associations with the formation of
the Progressive Librarians Guild in 1990

Every poor person I know has a cell phone. They have that computer with them and can access the internet any time they want. Why did they need to fill up the library with more computers?

(And Portland has a beautiful old main library. It's full of the homeless, who use the streets as a bathroom when the library is closed.)

is none other than Julius Caesar himself. In 48 BC, Caesar was pursuing

284 159 Bingo! Our public library, whose mission is to shelter the homeless, is building a new $XX million building, which will be filled, not with books, but with meeting rooms, and toys like "welding simulators" and sewing machines.

The current building houses some books, which nobody looks at, and a 3D printer area, which nobody uses, and an open lounge for the homeless to live in, and a sound-proofed lounge for "the youth" to hang in. All the real library materials are in the cloud, which is Fine By Me.

What isn't fine is wasting more money on underused physical space in crime-ridden sh!thole downtown, where no sane person wants to go anyway.

285 Who's this "we" she keeps referring to?

Library collections continue to promote and proliferate whiteness with their very existence and the fact that they are physically taking up space in our libraries. They are paid for using money that was usually ill-gotten and at the cost of black and brown lives via the prison industrial complex, the spoils of war, etc. Libraries filled with mostly white collections indicates that we don't care about what POC think, we don't care to hear from POC themselves, we don't consider POC to be scholars, we don't think POC are as valuable, knowledgeable, or as important as white people. To return to the Harris quote from above, library collections and spaces have historically kept out Black, Indigenous, People of Color as they were meant to do and continue to do.

I'd never heard this term until today but not surprised. What's hilarious about it is that librarians LOVE to brag about being spaces for everyone/free exchange of ideas/anti-censorship/yada yada yada...but they seem to spend an equal amount of time flogging themselves for some imagined slights or insults to "the oppressed" or "people of color." They're continually moving the goalposts and won't be happy until the libraries we know today are obliterated, replaced with unicorn-colored coffee shops full of computers and books about having two mommies.

338 Oh, and I'm sure it's been said already, but I've tiptoed through some "scholarly journals." Not all scholarly journals are as scholarly as others, but still, as I'm sure anyone would know, if they have gone through these journals, lots of the authors of the supposedly scholarly articles are written by some folks with decidedly not-white sounding names.

Not speculating one way or another on the worth of said articles, but making the point, if this yahoo here had actually OPENED some of those "library collections" she'd probably realize that fact. Apparently she never had.

416 Ahem:

"In AD 642, Alexandria was captured by the Muslim army of 'Amr ibn al-'As. Several later Arabic sources describe the library's destruction by the order of Caliph Omar. Bar-Hebraeus, writing in the thirteenth century, quotes Omar as saying to Yaḥya al-Naḥwi: "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, destroy them." "

This was the final destruction of the Library of Alexandria, which actually had been damaged or burned several times before 642AD. But ultimately what remained of humanity's knowledge was burned by Muslim jihadists.

Of course.

My kids are out of school today because of this mess, but I find it terribly sad. This girl was obviously mentally ill, the FBI new about her, but for some reason no one was able to help her.

431 420 The 18 year old girl who threatened schools in Colorado is dead. She had been spotted running naked carrying a gun. It's not clear whether she was shot by law enforcement or she killed herself, but a report I'm watching now says that there were not shots fired by police. My kids are out of school today because of this mess, but I find it terribly sad. This girl was obviously mentally ill, the FBI new about her, but for some reason no one was able to help her. Makes me wonder about whether the deinstitutionalization of the mental health system was a net positive.

The French situation is different than ours though. They have a nationalist fervor roiling just under the surface, evidenced by five months of GJ demonstrations and a plummeting Macron approval rating. The French are mostly in solidarity with the GJs.

The RN - used to be Front National - has also been picking up steam. A pillar of both the GJ protests and the growing popularity of the RN is dismay at the privileged treatment afforded the 'refugees'. Normal French people have been under siege for at least a decade. We have nothing comparable here to what they have endured over the past dozen years or so.
The Notre Dame fire elicited a strong sense of nationality and even awakened respect for the Catholic tradition in France. If we're getting morsels of the truth, what do you think is occurring over there? The companies who contracted for the renovation certainly will not accept blame for something they had no part in.

454 Someone should point out to Librarian Leung that, besides the obvious reasons already stated, library collections are made up mostly of what actually circulates. Libraries have always been short of space and funding for more space. It has become much worse in the internet age when so many don't even read physical books any longer. Libraries, outside of colleges, can no longer even pretend to be about preserving knowledge. Every public library is a Popular library. If it's collection is made up of mostly white authors that is because that is what their patrons ask for. Decades of promoting minority authors by libraries has just resulted in the purchase of items that need to be weeded years later after barely circulating. If it doesn't sell it doesn't circulate.

Nah, she's offended that the collections are wrong. And she's offended that the collections are wrong because the premise is wrong.

The collections are built and maintained based on the premise of "repository of knowledge." Much of the knowledge that built our modern world came from Europe and it's client states and spinoffs. As such, much of the collection is built around European authors or authors from European client states and spinoffs. As such, the collections are awfully European (that is, "white" - even if the author was black, brown, yellow, green, whatever).

It is the premise that is offensive. The collections are just manifestation. These people want a new, improved, woke premise. Rather than "repository of knowledge" they'd rather have the premise be "dynamically-updating cache of ever-changing bullshit." Such a new premise would mean few if any Europeans/clients/spinoffs in the stacks.

During the speech I mentioned that my ancestors had been prominent Republicans in the area, and towards the end of my speech I had to, as delicately as I could, handle the subject of "white flight" to the suburbs.

The hot Librarian was RATHER cold to me afterwards, and I was not invited back (she had initially wanted me to give a series of speeches.)

Btw, producing hydrazine from bleach and ammonia (the Raschig process) is almost impossible without making great effort to exclude transition metal ions, which catalyze the disproportionation of hydrazine back into ammonia and elemental nitrogen.

501 Caesar accidentally destroyed the original Library at Alexandria in a war with Ptolemaic forces. He suffered great regret over that loss (one of the Roman historians reported it- I can't remember who). They tried to say that Theodosius later tried to wipe it out around the 4th century, but that is widely believed as accidental, since he was really trying to take out Pagan Temples, not libraries.
Today's liberal of course try to relieve Muslims of any culpability by saying it was already gone by that time. Bullshit. There are historical reports and it is consistent with the Muslim invaders trying to destroy everything and anyone that wasn't related to them or their anti Christ false "prophet"

I have to take the other side of that one. I adore midcentury modern architecture. I looked at a house earlier in the year that I am still kinda kicking myself for not buying. It was in the wrong part of the country for me short-term and too big for my needs but it feels like "the one that got away."

Architecture, like art, is one of those things where there are few wrong answers. I hope to one day one a mid-century house filled with mid-century furniture.

Moulton, 40, was spotted in his hometown of Marblehead, Massachusetts taping his presidential announcement, according to Axios. A source close with the Democratic congressman says he is expected to release the announcement within a week.

So they don't effect people uniformly. Which is precisely the issue you have your finger on.

Some people take one drug with no problem and that same drug can cause somebody else real problems with dis-inhibition. That particular side effect can lead to a lot of bad things, but it isn't often recognized by a casual observer. If someone is living alone they may escalate pretty far before it becomes a big enough problem that it is a police matter. So, many people, young people in particular have problems with anxiety and depression. If you step back and look at what is being pumped out at them 24/7 its obvious why that is the case.

back in the mid-aughts, I saw some newstalkers and their guest talking about different outcomes in schools. The cause they identified of course is that schools are too local and so there is too much variance in the amount of money and curriculum and the guest was advocating nationalizing schools across the land.

As a visual, she held up her hands, palms down. One hand was very high above the news desk, and one was very low - almost touching the desktop. "This is where we are now," she said. She then moved her high hand to the middle and raised her low hand to the middle, so they were approximately the same height off the desk top. "This is where we need to get."

That one really stuck with me.

Another thing (well, two things-- okay three--) about Alexandria and other ancient libraries was that the paper they used wasn't, you know, acid-free. So nothing lasted terribly long anyway, and then there's the accidental fire risk, and of course before movable type, everything was freaking hand-written. "Making a copy" was super-laborious, but it was the only way to preserve.

Anyway, it's anyone's guess how extensive the Library actually was right before any given disaster.

As a visual, she held up her hands, palms down. One hand was very high above the news desk, and one was very low - almost touching the desktop. "This is where we are now," she said. She then moved her high hand to the middle and raised her low hand to the middle, so they were approximately the same height off the desk top. "This is where we need to get."

That one really stuck with me.

Interestingly enough, Higher IQ are in some ways very tribal as well. People tend to aggregate friendships with others within in similar IQ ranges. You'll tend to hang with people who "get" you and whom you "get". So if there's a wide IQ variance you'll tend view them as an appropriate peer group, unless there is some other culturally strong bond at play. Like say, you root for the same NFL team.

once long ago I worked on a new brand for a local charter system

they went into bad areas of philly and took over failing schools

they intended to retain ALL the existing staff - that was the goal - but many teachers chose to leave (despite if anything higher pay?!?)

and then they succeeded, the schools improved

everyone knows what's wrong with schools. it's bad teachers. not all, even just some, demoralize the good and average ones, and turn them bad as well.

merit pay for good teachers

firings for bad ones

615 The correlation between these lunatics and
psychotropic medications should and must be studied. What are they
taking? Which meds are more associated with would-be and successfully
executed mass murderers?

========

So they don't effect people uniformly. Which is precisely the issue you have your finger on.



Some people take one drug with no problem and that same drug can
cause somebody else real problems with dis-inhibition. That particular
side effect can lead to a lot of bad things, but it isn't often
recognized by a casual observer. If someone is living alone they may
escalate pretty far before it becomes a big enough problem that it is a
police matter. So, many people, young people in particular have
problems with anxiety and depression. If you step back and look at
what is being pumped out at them 24/7 its obvious why that is the case.


Posted by: Sig Froid but not Roy at April 17, 2019 02:01 PM (pGuKK)


The main problem is likely not the unpredictability of the medications, but the misapplication of medications for things like "depression and anxiety."


Psychiatrists are trained to treat symptoms, and a very very high percentage of people who are taking meds for things like "depression and anxiety"don't, indeed, have depression and/or anxiety.

There are any number of life experiences that contribute to things like being sad and/or nervous, and they aren't organic disorders. So the medications DON'T do what they would do for someone who has an organic mood disorder.


These are likely the ones who turn violent.


And if it needs to be said, the epidemic of suicides is another manifestation of over-medicated people who are turning violent.

633 back in the 60's, those hip young white girls got a lot of attention by dating a black man, showing how cool they were to break social norms. The gay thing had that aspect to it as well, since coming out was brave, and edgy. Some gays even complained it was so normalized it kinda lost some of the appeal ... of coloring outside the lines, so to speak.


But building something begins with a strong foundation, which is manifest in Western development leading the world. We can perhaps improve on our WASPy founders' concepts, but not without first deeply understanding their origins. Claims that failed third world diversity will magically "refine us" are absurd.

But "diversity is our strength" (lies) memes are easy to remember, and allows dummies (that bought their way into academia) to claim superiority.

638 So exactly how are the geniuses expecting to enforce this? Do they have an up-to-the-minute gun registry? Without it they have no idea who has what guns, nor when any of them was sold, if any. They can literally prove nothing.

By definition they can't enforce this law or the magazine laws because the numbers of private owners and the "resistance" of us normal's too these laws. You can't regulate what you can't see. They have no idea where the guns are nor can they know.

I'm not sure how many gun grabbers really want guns grabbed, and use it instead as a political weapon/marketing tool. Some, I'm sure, are not concerned about reducing, but instead prosecuting law-abiding citizens who USE their guns in self-defense, after the fact.

You shot an intruder? Let's see your magazine. 15 rounds? You sir, are going to be charged with murder! It's not self-defense when you have anything larger than 8 round clips!

Well, I'm not saying there isn't overmedication. Yet, I think that is like a third order issue. First order is where it starts.

Hmm. lets see. Its like if all there was to eat was big mac and fries and everyone's cholesterol was like 500 and so the RX rate of anticholesterol meds being rx'd would through the roof.

So, I'm saying the missing point is that the culture is causing the problem. GLOBAL WARMING IS GOING TO KILLL US ALL

ORANGEMAN BAD etc etc.

The system has monetized anxiety and depression. Its good money for the drug companies, who, you know, are generous donors. And if you are scared and depressed you are easier to convince that the solution is government.

That said, the problems with anxiety and depression are in some cases real problems that require treatment. However, some people would be better off not taking pills at all.
