Planet Of The Bedlamites

Michael Jones on the Clown Quarter’s approximation of scholarship:

In her paper, How to Write as Felt: Touching Transmaterialities and More-Than-Human Intimacies, University of Toronto scholar Stephanie Springgay suggests that felt, a “dense material of permanently interlocking fibres,” can be linked to racism and capitalism.

It’s those “cis-heteronormative White supremacist settler colonial logics,” you see. And the “queer self-touching,” obviously.

One of these.

  1. I love how she (it, he, su, mi, loj, or whatever her fricking pronoun is) is able to tie this into quantum theory, or it least includes the words quantum theory from a reference. Apparently particles touch each other, perhaps romantically, and this creates infinite touching across other particles.

    The blissful ignorance of her own absolute uselessness is what I find truly amazing. I don’t expect morons to write shakespeare as they are clearly morons. However, to be a moron and convince yourself that shakespeare is beneath you takes an astounding amount of stupidty and ignorance to achieve. If somehow we could harness that stupidity and turn it into real energy. I would suggest we start by replacing donkeys on the traditional donkey water mill with her and her colleagues, at least then they would actually DO something. They can also touch particles and themselves all they want at the same time

  2. Springgay offers consulting services, I see, aimed at those hoping to fund their leftist activism, hobbies and drinking sprees with a Canadian government “art” grant.

    I’m sure she writes better than this on the grant applications. The rubbish she publishes in the academic equivalent of a vanity press to avoid having to pay the money back is a means to an end at best.

  3. Her word stew reminds of of the current trend in pretentious foodie menu items …

    A Uinta Range of hand-selected, cornflour-battered, vidalia onions, with spicy dipping sauce emblazoned by the Calexico ghost pepper … or as we like to call them … onion rings.

    Although I cannot even guess what the hell she’s describing.

    1. ?
      speaking of onions, does Ms Wordfelt hail from Onion University?

      good grief. *this* is friggin research ?????????????

  4. “Springgay has received $1,244,992 from the council since 2011”

    Holy eff! Has xe (it?) found the cure for cancer yet?

  5. University of Toronto education department? That means OISE, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, one of the biggest purveyors of Bolshevik, Post modernist academic claptrap in the world.

    I swear, they must have a competition to see who can up with the most insane, disconnected-from-reality, more woke than woke research paper.

    The damage the lunatic Marxist at OISE have done to educational systems in this country and around the world is incalculable

    1. The damage OISE has done to educational systems in this country and around the world is incalculable

      Yup. When I was teaching at a post-secondary institution, I ended up with the results of all that horsing around. I had students who not only were lazy and self-entitled, they had little of the background required to take my courses.

      Every time I brought up the matter with my superiors, I was told that I had to work with what I’d been given. In other words, I was expected to produce nothing but silk purses with the sow’s ears that the institution was all to willing to accept. I was expected to take all the risks and make all the effort as I couldn’t count on getting any support from those above me.

      Another problem was that the administrators were easily swayed by whatever educationist fad happened to be in vogue at a given time. Often, I felt that actually teaching the course material wasn’t near as important than the implementation of the latest fruitloop educational doctrine that was being imposed on us.

      I quit more than 15 years ago, and I have absolutely no regrets about it.

  6. I think they make a good case for the male sterilization of whites……More space available for useless carbon forms.. Next Carbon Stage to come….

  7. But it sounded so good in the seminar room and was so well received by inexperienced and indoctrinated children.

    White privilege obviously allows them to win arguments, not facts or reality. Poor babies.

    Cue for their summer temper tantrums, led by the violent go-gooders seeking to overturn elections to save democracy for fascism.

  8. Perhaps the “social sciences”, “liberal arts”, or whatever they call themselves these days should all be required to study history, classics, and civics in depth before being allowed to venture into these contrived studies, most of which seems to be a form of nihilism / Marxism masquerading as academic pursuit. These flakes appear to be ignorant of where civilization has come from, that there is little to nothing “new” in social sciences and philosophy and yet they claim to be pushing the academic envelope while in reality vandalizing civilization.

    1. actually make the idiots do a couple of years of hard labour, that should teach them all they need to know!!!

    2. Well, John, that is the problem. The liberal arts used to actually deeply study classics, history, literature, philosophy, etc., and thereby imbibe a full sense of the way of the world. These newish twits found such rigorous study to be too hard, plus they hate the Judeo-Christian and Hellenic roots of what used to be the West…..coupled with the insidious growth of Marxist haters etc., which has devolved into what we see here. Et farking cetera….

  9. All these years I’ve been wondering how my 50 year-old Stetson managed to hold itself together so well. Each year, I’d bring it out for Stampede and it just seemed to be sitting there grinning at me. Who knew, for all those years, it’s been playing with itself. Maybe I should get another to keep it company.

  10. This broad is obviously nuts. And what’s with the name “Springay”? Has she made one of the seasons homo?

  11. Bedlam is right. That is the societal condition that the Marxists want to create in order to remake society into the New (Soviet) Man.
