The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Ah...academics: you can't ignore them, and you can't beat them over the head with a brick. The arrogance and intellectual conceit of the Academy is such that anyone upon whom a PhD has been conferred is automatically granted some sort of intellectual dark magic, that convinces its recipient that no topics on earth are outside of his areas of expertise. Well, except mundane and unintellectual things like changing a tire or fixing a dripping faucet. For those things the proles will be called!

The problem is that far too many people, particularity in government, take these absurd pontificating clowns seriously. Their masturbatory fantasies about how the world should work are considered as valid options simply because of the imprimatur of their degrees and their positions within the insular and out-of-touch mini-world of college campuses and faculty lounges.

Noam Chomsky: We're Approaching The Most Dangerous Point In Human History, The Lucky Ones Will Die More Quickly

"We're approaching the most dangerous point in human history," he said. "Nothing like it before. We are now facing the prospect of the destruction of organized human life on Earth from environmental destruction and not in the remote future we are approaching irrevisable turning points which can not be dealt with any longer. It doesn't mean everybody is going to die but it's going to mean moving to a future in which the lucky ones will be those who die more quickly."

Well, ignoring the fake word "irrevisable," (I assume he means "irreversible."), this is simply a rehashing of every doomsday prediction in human history. We have always had these people screeching their predictions, but most of them are urine-soaked, drug-addled lunatics standing on street corners asking for money. To be fair to Chomsky, he does sort of look the part. And the sad thing is that he is a titan in his field of linguistics, which somehow convinced him that every single one of his uninformed and ignorant opinions is as valuable as his talented work in his own field.

Khaled Abou El Fadl: Ambassador for Sharia

But determined to find prejudice where only common sense prevails, Abou El Fadl protested that “all the occupants of Guantanamo are Muslim,” an absurd complaint since the post-9/11 “war on terror” responded to jihadi attacks against the United States and the wider world. He similarly condemned former President Donald Trump’s misnamed “Muslim ban” without explaining why the United States should not impose travel restrictions upon terrorist hotspots in Muslim countries.
Unintentionally undercutting his allegations of societal inequality in America, Abou El Fadl cited the Western tradition of redress under equality of the law, something for which Sharia is not well-known. “Among the most distinctive features of the Western civilization at large, but the American civilization, in particular, is the power of law,” he said. “Law in this society is a vehicle to power, and we have to matter in the political map of this country,” he insisted.

This guy sounds like a garden variety Islamist Jew hater who has upped his game by moving to the West and trying to subvert our freedoms. Except...he is a full professor of law in an endowed seat at UCLA! Amazing...the academy is so cowardly that it won't even defend itself from anti-intellectual attacks on its own freedoms, and allows the fox to guard its hen house.

This terrorist (of the intellectual kind...he is probably too effete to take physical action) is actively espousing legal structures that are antithetical to the principles of our country at its founding, and incredibly damaging to the concept of free and unimpeded intellectual discourse that American academics hide behind when they spout their bullshit ideas about pretty much everything.

My wish is that this wog gets exactly what he wishes for, at least on the UCLA campus. Imagine the enlightened progressives of Westwood confronted by sharia law, complete with hijab, diya (blood money...and it values women as half of men!), and Islamic policemen who wander the campus whipping women who are dressed inappropriately. The best one would be the Islamic laws against blasphemy, which requires a death sentence, or conversion of a non-Muslim to Islam. So all of those smug atheists would suddenly have to put up, shut up, or convert!

Admit it...this would be a marvelous thing.

It's because Chomsky was always a revolutionary communist first and a linguist second. Everything is through the revolutionary communist frame, and nothing is outside it. Even his work in linguistics was ultimately just serve his real ambition.

And Chomsky's opinion has also apparently changed. When the Obama crowd starting going for the brass ring at breakneck speed by essentially declaring the "long march" as over and completed and going for the final conversion, he opposed it vocally. He feared they were risking the whole game by moving too fast.

He clearly doesn't think that now. I don't know how much of this is just bowing to reality as it appears that the final move is proceeding regardless of his endorsement.

63 We are now facing the prospect of the destruction of organized human life on Earth from environmental destruction and not in the remote future we are approaching irrevisable turning points which can not be dealt with any longer.
++++
Assume that it is true. The damage to the environment is past the inflection point, it is our (humans') fault, nothing can be done to fix it and our fate is sealed. Take that at face value. None of their plans make sense in that case. If this is true, then environmental protection is a non-sensible approach to the problem. A rational approach in that case would be to ramp up resource consumption and material production as much as humanly possible, by any and all means necessary. Produce as much as we can as fast as we can until we tap out *everything.* Improve the odds of survival for the greatest number for as long as we can and stockpile as much as we can against the future.

If we're already past the environmental disaster inflection point, we should do the *opposite* of what they recommend. If the future appears lost, pull out all the stops and see what happens. At worst, the future is still lost but we live better until the end.

76 China's state-run propaganda newspaper Global Times on Wednesday blamed American sanctions on Russia due to the war in Ukraine for Sri Lanka's increasingly dire economic disaster -- a disaster greatly exacerbated by the country taking out predatory loans from China.

The Global Times acknowledged the loans and Sri Lanka's enthusiastic participation in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a global plan to erode the sovereignty of impoverished states by offering predatory loans to be used to pay China for infrastructure projects. In Sri Lanka, the government was forced to hand over its critical Hambantota seaport to the Communist Party in 2017 after it defaulted on its prodigious debt to China, and still struggles to make its payments to Beijing.

___________

Know what else is permanent, and wrong, and unfair? Innocent people being murdered because the state failed to execute a murderer.

How many women would be alive today if the state of Washington had prosecuted and executed Ted Bundy after he started murdering young women there? He went on to kill dozens more in Colorado, Florida, and other states. And he's just one example.

As for imperfect, that can be said of EVERY system that is designed and implemented by human beings. They are always going to be imperfect, because human beings are imperfect.

So yes, it's unfair when innocent people are executed by the state for crimes they didn't commit, but it's also unfair when innocent people are murdered because the state failed to execute a murderer.

Choose which imperfection (or which victim class) you prefer, because there is no such thing as a perfect justice system.

227 "We're approaching the most dangerous point in human history,"

Leaving out the hockey stick CO2 lunacy, USA has more and more regulations on air and water quality, and we have improved from the 60's industrial boom. Perhaps it took a decade to catch up with that boom ... and many improvements continue.

So does Chomsky recognize the problem is China/India and the third world, belching out coal soot, dumping raw sewage, strip mining without conservation, etc?

No, it is only American Liberty that causes all these global concerns. Even as it is the totalitarian states that are worst at polluting the world ... but totalitarianism is still the answer.

And if Chomsky is talking about nuclear proliferation ... it is China and Russia that are "proliferating" and using nuke brinksmanship. I hear Biden has cancelled the Trump plans to build a counter balance arsenal of "tactical nukes", as Putin speaks of "escalating (with tactical nukes) to deescalate". i.e. if he starts losing, he will use nukes, or at least that is the tactical threat.

233 Tim Pool said that the death penalty is wrong because the system is imperfect.

I am a world champion of jury duty avoidance. But if it works like every other human group dynamic, one or two jurists push the rest to one decision or the other based very little of facts as presented and a whole lot upon personal agenda and a bunch of ego.

I'd prevent jurists from interacting at all - and giving their verdict in the blind instead.

234 Musk trying to buy Twitter outright?

If they were smart, they'd take the deal. Twitter is staggering on its first steps to a death spiral. But honestly, I don't think Musk really means to buy Twitter at all. This just is pushing up the stock value of Twitter, which he owns nearly 10% of. And its a legal way to do it, because he made a genuine, properly filed offer at 45% above the price at the point he made the offer.

He didn't need to mention it on social media, but that helps get the word out, and push prices up. Which is, I believe, his real goal, especially as he sent them a letter saying "this is my final offer".

Because the left will not sell twitter at any price.

No way. That is way too direct and non-corporate enough.

The senior leadership team is actively working with major investment partners to reduce the likelihood of a takeover. In the event that such a takeover does occur, we are working on contingencies and encourage all of you to contribute to the best of your ability to ensure that you do not contribute to the ease of a future executive transition. The executive board and I are actively pursuing options to make the takeover less favorable while positioning ourselves and the company for success in the post-Musk era.

another reason to favor a speedy trial and execution for the clearly guilty (without the years of appeals) ... all the extra cost imposed on The System can be translated into lives lost.

Same goes for the shut down during Covid Scam response, more lives were lost than saved (imo) from the iron fist shut downs. This might be hard to calculate with precision, but the costs of keeping violent killers alive in a box for 50 years is a very real cost to society, and even to conditions inside the prisons.

A vibrant economy saves lives and improves quality of life. Welfare states kill people in invisible ways, and some quite visible ways (like the subway shooter, drug wars, etc.) Killing predators is "natural law" (?).

Yup. Do not touch Twitter. If he wins and gets it, Twitter will be destroyed. He might be destroyed, too. But the government should tread lightly here - if they go after this too hard and blow up the absurdly-priced Tesla with its huge debts and preposterous stock price, that will take out Musk but could well spread much further, very quickly.

It's a mix really. They do spend lots of money on luxury stuff, but they also have a ton of money invested globally. Given the scale it ultimately becomes closer to indexing than being invested in a stock like Tesla, which dramatically outperformed the stock market.

I should be in charge, said the blood, because I circulate oxygen all over, so without me you'd all waste away. I should be in charge, said the stomach, because I process food and give all of you energy. I should be in charge, said the rectum, because I'm responsible for waste removal.

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, and the blood was toxic. Eventually the other organs gave in. They all agreed that the rectum should be the boss. The moral of the story? You don't have to be smart or important to be in charge... just an asshole.

If the Saudi Royal family was worth 100x what they were now that'd be 140 Trillion, which approaches the household assets of the entire US. 10x would still make them worth roughly 20 years of Saudi GDP.

Musk is really in a win win position here. Either he gets paid off by mega tech corp or gets Twitter if he wants. Mega Tech Corps could have bought Twitter years ago but declined because it is a marginal company to begin with which adds little to the bottom line but a lot in headaches.

Only companies that I see that makes sense in buying Twitter would be Tik Tok or perhaps Bloomberg.

664 Speaking of embedded Feebs on J6, one of the many lies-within-lies of the whole "insurrection" narrative is that Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and other groups had good reason to organize in a "tactical" fashion for a planned protest.

I personally attended the prior November Stop the Steal, which was in terms of message and makeup extremely similar to the J6 crowd, except for the very late events on J6 that we've all come to know.

But I can tell you from personal knowledge that the Antifa goons were threatening and attacking extremely peaceful, patriotic protestors, including if not especially those over 29. The PB served as "security detail" for the demonstrations, and were much appreciated (and necessary) for us to exercise our God given and Constitutionally protected rights to protest.

So it is not surprising, and was zero evidence of "insurrection" that PB and other groups felt the need to plan and communicate tactically, simply to fend off the certainty of Anti fa (semi officially sanctioned) thuggery. Yet any such gear, communications, tactics etc are continually cited as ipso facto evidence of "an assault" planned on the Capitol. Disgustingly dishonest.

692 I always thought Gillian Anderson was next door pretty, very nice but not stunning. The kind of girl you could hang out with and not feel like she's looking for richer, better looking company.

That's funny. Also, the internet is a damned weird place.

She and Duchovny had proven themselves beyond a doubt to be leftards with their BLM kneeling crap. To me, her fucking the Arkansas Rapist doesn't come across as a great shock or disappointment.

-----------------
From my understanding, the trial is already going on and any judge in a civil trial will be reluctant to stop the trial for a peripheral witness. Musk has enough money to buy excellent legal help to stall out any request for the testimony/depositions on several grounds on such things as character evidence, cumulative, relevancy, etc.

At this stage, he could only be considered as a rebuttal witness anyway.

IRRL, last minute witnesses are almost never allowed in the trial because they involve substantial delays in a trial that judges do not like.

That's all they posted, one picture, once a day. For some reason it was hilarious.

Ask you Doctor if gingers are for you. Do not take gingers if you are allergic to gingers. If you experience burning sensations, breathlessness, loss of soul, or lightness of wallet shortly after taking a ginger, discontinue gingers.

718 1) Credentialed does not mean expert. Think of a teenager getting a drivers license: credentialed, perhaps even competent - but not expert.

2) One the things strongly touted while I worked in the Saudi Arabian oilfields was that Muslim courts were not bound by Law - rather, they had a higher calling to embrace Justice above Law. Finding a Muslim in an endowed Law chair speaking against law does not surprise me.
