So I’m gonna watch a documentary about the fall of Roman Britain. On comes the narrator to introduce it with a poem written by an Anglo-Saxon poet. One poet. Not two, or three, or a whole softball team’s worth of poets. One poem and one poet.
And wouldn’tcha know it–before you’re quite sure what you’re hearing, the narrator speaks of that one single poet as “they” and “them.”
I could not help commenting on how shameful and ridiculous it is to do that. And voila! I get an answer from the culprit, all about how it’s reel interllectural to say “they” instead of “he” and a lot of reel smart prefessters they say it too! Blah, blah.
I detest the way people try to show off by diving on board every stupid-ass bandwagon that trundles by. “Ooh-ooh, I’m smarter than you, I say ‘they’!” No you’re not. You’re not smarter than anybody. And if you have an ounce of integrity in you, it’s very well concealed.
Sorry, but I can’t respect you. There’s just nothing there.
Remember a short-lived academic fad for “intuiting” stuff–that is, making it up as you go along–as a substitute for research and the collection of facts? I said “short-lived,” but really it’s still being done, big-time. They just don’t call it “intuiting” anymore.
There’s a whole lot of intuitin’ going on in government, these days. My stars, if they had to rely on facts to back up public policy, they wouldn’t last a day.
But this is how certain professors said we ought to study history, not so long ago–just “intuit” it. Who needs facts? They sort of muted that down when people starting asking who needs professors.
True, “man on the street” interviews always make the man on the street look like a bozo. So this video is a collection of sheer stupidities voiced by young people–virtually all of whom are high school grads, and most have probably been to (LOL) “college.”
I mean, these young people don’t know anything! God knows how much public money has been spent on “educating” them.
The point is, should the costliest and most intrusive education system in world history turn out total ignoramuses? And the danger is, because they know nothing, these poor swabs will believe anything they’re told and be ripe for any wicked foolish enterprise a tyrant might devise.
I used to like football. I loathe it now; but not being a liberal philosophy professor, I don’t see that as giving me an entitlement to take football away from everybody else.
Mystery of the ages: what makes these people so top-to-bottom awful?
From now on, 9th-graders in Ontario will be taught that math with right answers is just the “marginalization of non-eurocentric mathematical knowledges.” Honk if that sounds sensible to you.
And get this. According to one school official, learning how math is racist will lead to “good-paying jobs.” Just because her head is swelled doesn’t mean there’s anything in it but hot air.
Lessee… Do you want to drive on a nice, high bridge designed by chipmunks who think 2+2 adds up to different things for different folks? Like, for People Of Color (POCs), 2+2 = 3, but for pygmies in the rain forest it’s 5, and in Ontario the sum is different day to day.
These are the doofuses who are “educating” your children. You can’t even learn math anymore without gagging on Far Left Crazy doctrine.
Our only hope is to demolish public education before it demolishes our civilization.
Large buildings designed by people who can’t do math are very, very dangerous.
