Professor Wax has been mentioned here once or twice before. Generally regarding her observations of everyday phenomena that are seemingly unmentionable, at least on campus, and the performative indignation and outright hysteria that reliably ensues. As when students, supposedly adult intellectuals, claimed that the professor’s mere presence on campus was “physically and emotionally harming all of us,” with the law school’s Dean, Theodore Ruger, invoking the “lasting trauma” of hearing her speak.
On questions that mustn’t be asked, and things that mustn’t be said, among fearless intellectuals.
One of my favorite Truisms:
“To learn who or what rules over you,
Simply notice who you are not allowed to criticize”
in todays enlightened, diverse, and advanced culture if you dare criticize TPTB or their preferred victim groups:
“You will loose your employment, be socially ostracized, Assaulted, and probably killed”
But that would be too much truth for one day.

Professor Amy says that the loonies who are running academia comprise only 8% of the population.
Where does that statistic come from and 8% of what? General population? Professors? University staff?
That seems to be an understatement and suggests that 92% are cowards.
Consider that less than 5% of China’s population are members of the CCP. Then that 8% number fits all too nicely to describe a subset of the human population predisposed to enslaving others. They’ll use whatever means necessary: fear, punishment, violence, corruption, brainwashing, control of basic means, etc to obtain absolute control of others. One could argue the U.S. already fought a civil war over exactly this. Yet these ~8% can’t seem to stop trying to rule everyone else.
Military dude said 5% of any group is evil.
15% will follow whoever leads.
80% will keep their heads down and try to do what they think is right.
Over in Academia the numbers should skew.
Toward stupid and evil.
For you have a whole bunch of reality adverse persons to begin with.
Reality is unwelcome in the Cloistered Halls,where the rewards are so small and the battles so vicious..
For tiny minds are at play.
And they bitterly resent seeing “Dumb Citizens” reaping success and wealth,in ways beyond their understanding.
So a self selecting bunch,careful to talk only amongst themselves and engulfed in a self created bubble.
Delusions of Adequacy abound.
We need to supply them with more chemistry sets.
Think of Emperor Justine,with a loaded pistol..being asked to “Make it safe”.
It is what the intellectualists, as opposed to intellectuals, do.
Communists ruled the exact same way.
You had to submit.
They, the intellectualists are telling people and insisting that they are the victims, all the while they get the most useless well paying jobs there are.
This is where intellectualism, and it is an ‘ism, comes in, it does not matter how well off they are, they know they live in never, never land and it can come crashing down and the pretend victimhood will fall into pieces.
What are they gonna do for food?
So, what they are left is virtue signaling and blaming others for all their perceived, projected, nonexistent ills.
You gotta understand that there is no way out of the state of mind. They were snatched out of real existence and live in their pretend world of nothingness.
As long as that pays well, it will remain what it is.
Shades of Philip Rushton. Don’t remember if he was kicked out of UWO but keep in mind it was the seventies, he wouldn’t be able to leave his house if he did it today.
A very well-spoken lady. Hence the expression, “Wax eloquent!”
