Happy T-day, Joe. 🙂
It’s truly marvelous, the way college makes people dumber.
What, PETA didn’t take away their turkey?
It was a tofu Turkey, or faux-fu, for the tofu intolerant. 🙂
I’m still trying to figure out whether eating socks and handkerchiefs qualifies you as a vegan.
It is vegan, but it unfairly discriminated against textiles. 🙂
It depends on whether the socks and handkerchiefs were Fair Trade produced — and whether they were manufactured by means of fossil fuels or Sustainable Energy. (Ignore the birds slaughtered by the windmills, or we’re back to dead birds again.)
To change the subjects briefly to a carol request: “Away in a Manger.”
Joe Coolige is a perfect example of young people thinking they are intelligent because of their campus surroundings. If the school can claim a couple of recognized scientists or literary successes, then by identity appropriation the students are smart also. It doesn’t matter they haven’t figured out their whole Humanities road map to a degree is nothing more than a exploitative expense consumed mostly of hot air.
If they actually did study the Humanities any more, they’d be in better shape. They’d know something about logic, rhetoric, history, the human condition, and “the best that has been thought and said,” to paraphrase Matthew Arnold. As it is, all they deal with now are the faculty-approved emotions and victimology. And note that I said “deal with” rather than “learn” or “know.” They don’t learn anything or know anything. They just get indoctrinated and react to stimuli.
I might add that up until about the 1980s, Humanities majors were in great demand for positions in personnel and office management (not to mention editing, writing, and research), because these majors knew how to read and write and how to deal with complex human interactions. Alas, no more.
Actually, I think that demand dried up the day before I graduated.
