Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning RantUTOPIAN DREAMS Get a load of this: Apparently, the animation is a yogurt commercial with all of the yogurt edited out. So Magee turned it into a late-night dorm-room bull session fueled by lack of sleep, naivete, and weed. I would point out to the dorm room guys before they nodded off: this cartoon doesn't show everybody. This is definitely a "haves" vs. "have-nots" view, whether they acknowledge it or not. What you're looking at in this cartoon here are the "haves". But there are a number of things they're not showing you, namely, lithium mines, rare earth processing facilities, farms, factories, steel mills and all of the rest of the manufacturing infrastructure necessary to make and maintain all of the cool stuff shown in this animated fantasy cartoon. Oh, and if you want to make things out of plastic, you need: petroleum, and lots of it. So those dirty, unsightly oil wells aren't going anywhere. The fact of the matter is, much the world is a dirty, smelly, disgusting place and must be maintained by dirty, smelly, disgusting work, work that is absolutely necessary. So my question to all of the airhead utopian socialists is, "so, comrades, what are you willing to do to bring about the Glorious Socialist Revolution? Are you willing to sling bales of hay, work a 12-hour factory shift, spending all day on a ranch mucking out sheep stalls? Do you really think the Glorious Revolution needs your gender-studies degree? Because what it needs is people who are willing to work and work hard. Duty now for the future, comrade! Oh wait, you thought you were going to be awarded some administrative position where you sit behind a desk on your fat butt in a comfortable office all day moving papers around and telling other people what to do? Did you really think that? Because, let me tell you, those are the jobs that everybody wants, so they're really in short supply. Meanwhile, crops lie unharvested, the factories are idle", there are mouths to feed and poverty to alleviate. Prove your worth to the Revolution by toiling away in nameless obscurity doing work that is necessary but most likely will not be recognized." Because if the dorm room guys weren't so ignorant of history, they would know that the kind of people who make it to the top of the heap in a socialist society are the most ruthless, cut-throat, violent amoral people imaginable. It won't be them. They don't have the guts to kill people who stand in their way. They will be up against the wall in the second group of executions, the ones that inevitably occurs when the Revolution begins to devour itself. It's always fun to ask commie utopian dreamers, "OK then, say you've set up your socialist utopia. Who cleans the toilets?" It's a very simple question, yet they don't want to answer it. Because if they answer the question at all (and most don't), the answer always boils down to "someone else, not me."

So the equipment shown in the ad would require a ridiculous amount of power. You cannot, mathematically, get that much energy at the surface level of the earth.
You could, in theory, do so with a large enough solar array in orbit, beaming energy down via a mazer. But...that tech is banned by treaty because it is also an effective space weapon.

The utopians never seem to realize they will have to work hard to get the limitless, free energy required to drive their utopia. That apple picker? LOTS of energy.
Oh, and the apple picking jobs? Gone. (And the automated apple picker apparently goes 10 times as slow, so don't expect lots of fresh apples in the proletariat grocery stores.) Of course, now they're free to contemplate their navel and evolve into non-corporeal energy. They might die before then, though, since they don't have meaningful jobs to get adequate food. Anyone else note that the future (according to that video) is vegan? Uh, yeah, now I *know* the proletariat are not getting enough nutrition. What's really funny to me is that these people never got the backstory on Star Trek, just the "present" of it. They see the limitless 'clean' energy, the instant wonder of making food from any old atom, the floaty cars and spaceships. They don't remember that it all came out of a horrid time of elitists forcing their ideas onto the masses. You know... just like their 'elites'....

So my question to all of the airhead utopian socialists is, "so, comrades, what are you willing to do to bring about the Glorious Socialist Revolution? Are you willing to sling bales of hay, work a 12-hour factory shift, spending all day on a ranch mucking out sheep stalls? Do you really think the Glorious Revolution needs your gender-studies degree?
++++ The gender studies folks will have the same choice most other people will have in the new technocratic order as envisioned by the WEF types. There are three classes of people in their vision: 1. The rulers, to whom all material progress accrues 2. The engineers, who keep the automated equipment and AI systems running 3. Pod people, drinking Soylent and living an ersatz life in the metaverse 20 hours per day The "studies" people can't be engineers and most will not be hangers-on of the rulers. They can choose to be pod people, or they can die. Just like the rest of us. They will be unhappy to learn they are not special.

Not only is there nothing wrong with pursuing a humanities degree, it is an admirable pursuit that helps you learn how to think, how to understand where you are and how you got there, and the underpinnings of your civilization and those that broke up on the rocks before it. The humanities is a noble pursuit. It is not job training. The humanities are now, sadly, dead. The humanities have been destroyed by the academic class and their weird and grotesque experiments and perversions. It's horrifying.

Young socialists really really do think that they'll spend most of their day sitting in a circle teaching meditation and self-love , or doing fiber arts.
Somehow the knowledge that women used to spend every waking hour doing "fiber arts" and food preparation and barely managing to keep their family clothed and fed escaped them. Idle hands do the devils work. Or at least every child over the age of five is carding wool by candle light while listening to their oldest sister read dire proverbs about not being lazy. There's nothing stopping a one of them from their compassionate utopia NOW except a reluctance of meeting their own needs entirely with enough left over to support someone else TOO.

213 201 Researchers found a fossil of "the biggest bug that ever lived": A millipede "AS BIG AS A CAR"
2.4m long so, not a very big car. But a really big bug. I find millipedes really creepy and wouldn't a 2.4 metre bug need to be a decamillipede? Posted by: N.L. Urker at December 27, 2021 12:01 PM (eGTCV) what's fascinating about those giant bugs (there were also dragonflies with 2' wingspans) is that insects, which don't have an active lung system, required much higher oxygen levels to reach large sizes. It's believed that in the carboniferous period, atmospheric oxygen levels hit 35%, rather than the 21% we have today. Posted by: Tom Servo at December 27, 2021 12:05 PM (trdmm) 243

But passing on the best and highest examples of art, literature, and history to future generations really is important. It's just not what they are doing anymore. When English departments don't feel Shakespeare is essential, that college is a lost cause.
Posted by: All Hail Eris, Sans-Culottes at December 27, 2021 12:02 PM (Dc2NZ) I see little evidence they teach anyone anything. Bad thoughts or the games they play with 'analysis' in the past at least made you read the original work to follow the critique. But these days we are past that and just declare works bad by fiat, and publish arglebargle like it means something. It's anti-thought, and STEM is not immune to that the way things are going with Global Warmening and Eco-Religion. Posted by: Oldcat at December 27, 2021 12:06 PM (eoQWY) 255
@23 You could, in theory, do so with a large enough solar array in orbit, beaming energy down via a mazer. But...that tech is banned by treaty because it is also an effective space weapon.
And if your alignment is a little off...oops, just wiped out NYC. Sorry everyone! ---- There was a short story by Asimov that touched on this in his "I, Robot" collection. Robots were eventually sent up to the platform housing the beam in order to make sure it stayed on target. The robots ended up developing some very odd ideas, but they did the job even in the middle of a solar storm that would have otherwise caused the beam to cause mass destruction on the Earth's surface. Real world? We don't have robots or computers that are that advanced. Posted by: junior at December 27, 2021 12:06 PM (PTw5h) 256
Here's the thing. They don't have the whole millipede. They just have a section of it. Based on what millipedes are like now, they extrapolated the likely full length to get the 240cm version.
The problem is, without the whole bug, there's just not any way of knowing how long it really was. It might have just been really wide and short. or 3 times that long. Most of paleontology is done using this kind of extrapolation. They don't have a full T-Rex skeleton, they have bits and fill in the gaps based on guesswork and usual physical structure, for example. Its not only plausible but extremely likely that they've gotten a lot wrong (and have in the past, needing to greatly revise their reconstructions).

People these days tend to err heavily in the omnibus fallacy: if you're bad in one area, you're bad in everything and must be shunned. I don't care what kind of horrible monster a classical composer might have been, that doesn't make their music any less beautiful. I can see why, for example, holocaust victims might not care to hear Wagner, but not because of anything the man did personally. That has to do with context. But you take the good and reject the bad, that's how humanity has always worked. To do otherwise is an insane delusion that somehow we'll become a people who are without sin or flaw.

Chobani yogurt. Started by a Turkish immigrant who grew up on the border with Syria, who became close friends with Obama.

242 213 201 Researchers found a fossil of "the biggest bug that ever lived": A millipede "AS BIG AS A CAR"
2.4m long so, not a very big car. But a really big bug. I find millipedes really creepy and wouldn't a 2.4 metre bug need to be a decamillipede? Posted by: N.L. Urker at December 27, 2021 12:01 PM (eGTCV) what's fascinating about those giant bugs (there were also dragonflies with 2' wingspans) is that insects, which don't have an active lung system, required much higher oxygen levels to reach large sizes. It's believed that in the carboniferous period, atmospheric oxygen levels hit 35%, rather than the 21% we have today. Posted by: Tom Servo at December 27, 2021 12:05 PM (trdmm) Even with high atmospheric oxygen, I can't imagine that would be enough to sustain a 50 kg insect. The internal organs would probably still be fairly nutrient-starved. I can't even imagine how CO2 would be able to exit such a creature without a strong circulatory system.

@256 Most of paleontology is done using this kind of extrapolation. They don't have a full T-Rex skeleton, they have bits and fill in the gaps based on guesswork and usual physical structure, for example. Its not only plausible but extremely likely that they've gotten a lot wrong (and have in the past, needing to greatly revise their reconstructions).
---- There are some fairly close to complete T-Rex skeletons out there. The most complete one is supposed to be 85 percent complete, while the second most is 70 percent complete. Given that, and given that the second skeleton likely has parts that the first skeleton doesn't (along with other bones discovered in other finds), I suspect the number of "guesswork" bones left for the T-Rex is likely quite small. There are a number of dinosaurs, though, where we basically have a parts of a skull, and figure, "Well, it looks like this other dinosaur we have, so it probably was related, and looked sort of like this drawing here..." And then two years later, someone else comes along and insists that the skull was really a juvenile of some other species... Posted by: junior at December 27, 2021 12:21 PM (PTw5h) 368

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at December 27, 2021 12:23 PM (Do5/p) I had finished my Marketing degree with a minor in Finance and needed some non biz hours. I took Personal and Family Finances in the Home Ec dept. I made a 109 in the class. I missed 1 fucking bonus question on the final. Posted by: rhennigantx at December 27, 2021 12:27 PM (yrol0) 381

But you take the good and reject the bad
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 27, 2021 12:11 PM (KZzsI) And I think the only real counter to that is when the bad (like Dr Mengele) achieving some sort of good (medical data) might actually encourage further "short cuts" and whatnot in the future.

I suppose six Morons have already pointed out that water wheels don't work like that.
Posted by: creeper at December 27, 2021 12:12 PM (cTCuP) And they had to dam that stream in order to make the water wheel not work. Will nobody think of the fiiiish? Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 27, 2021 12:29 PM (P3gRi) 385
The reason covid measures are all so authoritarian is because none of them would survive a cost/benefit analysis.
This is true of most things the left does. Start talking about costs and the response is always "YOU JUST WANT TO KILL GRANDMA!" Though, I always hear that in Veruca Salt's voice. Posted by: 18-1 at December 27, 2021 12:30 PM (ESjRY) 386
And, umm, how did her clothes get cleaned? Did she beat them on a rock?
Doesn't she just have new clothes ordered by her assistant arriving every day like normal people? Posted by: Gwnyeth Paltrow hardworking mom at December 27, 2021 12:31 PM (ESjRY) 387

This so-called 'Dr' reminds me of my daughter-in-law. A smug piece of crap. People like her would be called 'idiot savant' in before times but they now are more politely referred to as 'savant syndrome'. You know what else comes with savant syndrome? A low IQ and Asperger's. Throw that combination of smugness, low IQ, a steady diet of NPR, and a fondness for playing games, together with a weak chin, and I have zero clue what my son saw in her. I will go to my grave before I'd ever refer to her as Dr. Posted by: Traitor Joe's Military Surplus at December 27, 2021 12:32 PM (dQvv7) Posted by: zigzag at December 27, 2021 12:53 PM (JZAB3) 390

Hunger Games. Those city dwellers sure had their utopia going but they *ahem* needed some outside support to maintain it.

Interestingly if you go by what she SAYS she got her degree in Chemistry? But if you see what she puts down as her degreed fields it's Dance and Disability. They have a Phd in that. Think on that a moment. While some guy who did well in HS but is a bit of a loner can't get a scholarship to a STEM college and get a Masters or PHD in like real chemistry yet this bing probably got a scholarship for the full bore just because she's female and going into being a Dr. of Dance and Disability like because we need so many of these.

That's what happened with the Kmer Rouge. They rounded everyone up in the cities and herded them out into the rice paddies. Along the way when they'd stop for a while the Party leader would start questioning the people who were slow and falling behind about what their skills were. If they said anything that was no farm oriented and did not have any special farming skills; off to the ditch and BLAM. One shot and NEXT!
Estimated about 2-3 million died like that and the rest of the toll was taken over the few years they worked in the fields as they died from overwork and little food or someone in power got mad at them or just didn't like them so: BLAM. Soon the cities were deserted and all sorts of things started to fail then. But that's communism for you. The details may be different but usually the commies start killing those they feel are parasites once the revolution is won. Sometimes with the help of those very parasites.

No one recognized Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling? They were together in Murder by Numbers and I think one other movie.

12 My guess on Dr. Kathy's doctorate wasn't anywhere close.
----- I guessed it was an Education toilet roll but I din't know British Universities went for things like Dance & Disability - I thought that was on a par with Underwater Basketweaving and only found in the curricula of US colleges. Posted by: Ciampino at December 27, 2021 05:26 PM (qfLjt) 398
31 However, if I click the link to try and see what her field is in, I just get a LinkedIn login. So what is she, exactly, and why should I care?
Posted by: Additional Blond Agent, STEM Guy at December 27, 2021 11:27 AM (ZSK0i) Here it is: Doctoral Researcher with a demonstrated history of working in the education industry. My research explores the use of photography within Dance and Disability interventions that seek to change public perceptions. Skilled in Arts Evaluation, Contemporary Dance, Secondary Education and Conference Speaking. This is what she got her Ph.D in. ----- Her Ph.D. was in Dance and Disability. She wants to do a Jill-Biden and have everyone call her 'doctor'. Most of us only use those titles in an academic setting (classroom, conference, seminar, confronting the legal profession ........ LOL) Posted by: Ciampino at December 27, 2021 05:34 PM (qfLjt) 399
If you ever watched the original German movie "Metropolis," a silent film made in 1928, you will find a virtually exact synopsis of steam-punk world video, except they show the people slaving away in the mines and the machines.
