The world has too many 'scientists'.

We need a famine

We need a famine

There were NO pumpkin spiced lattes available for Russians standing in bread lines of the Soviet Union. Proving once again how thoroughly "evolved" Socialism is, compared to the obscene Caucasian-privileged Capitalist Society.

wha.. who... duh... I got nothing. I cannot respond to that.

Actually... this makes me think of the "we'll show you Mark Ruffalo's penis" Hillary Clinto utube. Do they know they are doing self parody? Is it possible to be that far gone, and still be able to feed yourself?

People have too much time on their hands.

It's time to air-lift people to North Korea.

Happy Thanksgiving.

"and that ski slopes are sexist."

So, if a man is skiing down a slope in the Tetons, can he be charged with sexual assault? Because he is skiing down a slope covered with white snow, is he also racist?

I just wanna understand.......... Nah, that'll hurt my brain too much.

That's it. I give up. Time to shoot myself. )-:

I've been following the New Real Peer Review feed. Funny stuff. It confirms that far too many humanities and social science studies are creepily similar to the Postmodernism Generator. It certainly puts the claim that the value of a liberal arts university education is that it equips students with critical thinking skills on shaky ground.

Personally, I'm encouraging my children to look at Polytechnical schools with good engineering tech programs (or trades). The hands on repairing, maintenance and troubleshooting of electronics systems in a automated/robotic future will definitely pay better after 2 years than any 4 year degree in nonsense. It seems to me that these days a university education risks leaving you financially, intellectually and emotionally crippled.

Another thing about university education that is getting weird is their attempts to reinvent the English language. Between postmodern gobbledegook, the invention of boutique personal pronouns, and verboten words/phrases due to fears of micro-aggression - are progressives actually developing their own version of Newspeak? Or is it more like the medieval clergy using Latin to entrench their status? Regardless, if things continue at this rate the classes will actually be talking different languages in a generation. Busy, productive people have neither the time nor the inclination to bother with this type of silliness. Progressives insist that it's about politeness and tolerance but I'll believe that when I see politeness and tolerance shown towards non-progressives.

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. - Plato

Wake UP ! Citizens ... I know that we are all TOO DAMN BUSY to keep up with the Idiocracy which has seized power. I know that we have PRODUCTIVE JOBS that require our attention, but need we be given any more reminder of Plato's wisdom ? We are at a tipping point where the lunatics have seized control ... and are running amok.

This is yet further proof that the academic system needs to be permanently dismantled.

These buffoons are the embodiment of self-entitlement. They demand that they be allowed to make a living by cranking out this codswallop and that someone else forks over money for them to do their "research".

Much of this would end if the tenure system was abolished. Nowhere else can a person have a job for life while producing nothing but hogwash on someone else's nickle. It offers all the benefits of being a politician without the inconvenience or indignity of having to run for office.

Still, it's nice work if you can get it, eh?

Liberal arts should be a calling rather than a default pursuit for those who have no plans involving productive enterprise. If Liberal arts schools were privatized and students had to pay the full shot, the library card / internet would look a lot more attractive to students while limited budgets might prevent faculties from becoming dumping grounds for unemployable academics inventing irrational pursuits.

Margaret misses the point.
Social Sciences have nothing to do with science.
First rule of progressivedom, if it says science,truth or honesty is the title, you can be sure you will find none in the content.
The days of Universities are numbered, Dark Satanic Diploma Mills, saturated with society hating parasites.
They live at our expense and we know they hate us.
Could be a real public relations problem coming with the next financial collapse.
Academic wisdom= Borrow against the earnings of greatgrand children.
Then abort them.
So who pays the bill?

In fact, I think a lot of professions are going to be hit by new technologies in automation and robotics - lawyers, surgeons, teachers, etc. Disruptive technology may have hit blue collar workers first but it is not stopping there.

Hey, is she also the one that penned the report named "The Perilous Blackness of Watermelons"?

Who knew there was a pumpkin entertainment complex apart from the grunge Smashing Pumpkins, of course.

These types of progressives are a self-fulfilling prophecy in the works. When all is said - and nothing is done - they will be dead and those of us that can build, hunt and grow will survive.

At least they will have accomplished their goal of saving the earth through depopulation.

We can certainly use fewer liberal "meteorologists" as well:

Hurricanes are racist?

"merely one of countless academics trolling in the fertile field of race and gender studies"

Fixed!

The "academics" columnist Wente describes are fricking nuts.
