I have not been posting much because I have not been reading the news or other blogs much.
I have enough in my life to be mad and depressed about that I don't need to be finding other sources of it.
Maybe it was from growing up in a hyper-liberal college town that clued me in early to things that other people are just now talking about.
Welcome to the party.
I was Cassandra.
When I was right, I was not believed.
The level of utter stupidity that a hyper-liberal college down generated was epic.
And it spread.
Nobody believed it could, but...
Here we are.
You want to know why science died?
Because the morons in charge of grants didn't care for the advancement of knowledge unless it supported their preconceived conclusions.
No money for research outside an ever narrowing topic of discussion and no experiments which would cause the cash-tap to shut off.
It isn't scientists who make the decisions about where the money goes. It's politicians, and they've no use for science if it doesn't advance their careers. The same can be said for many businessmen. Science doesn't sell.
It's why there's no Bell Labs.
It's why we cannot discuss the war on poverty.
It's why we cannot discuss the war on drugs.
It's why we cannot discuss immigration and the effects of not assimilating the people who move here from other nations.
It's why we cannot discuss the wisdom of letting subcultures hostile to the main culture exist and thrive, despite the constant evidence that allowing it is damaging our culture, nation and economy every day.
I tried to write to get my thoughts out and be informative and, perhaps, guide someone to knowledge if they were open to seeing it.
I tried.
But my little 1,000 hit a day blog doesn't reach many people.
But I get the most hate back from people who'd nominally agree with me, but since I took the wrong route to agreement, my concurrence was invalid.
It doesn't help much to see them cited as experts when they showed they didn't know what they fuck they were talking about several times when they ventured outside their narrow expertise.
Being an expert at one thing doesn't even imply expertise outside that field.
Murry-Gellman-Amnesia is so fucking real it hurts.
Maybe we wouldn't have so many "hostile subcultures" if there was truly equal opportunity for all? That would be incentive to integrate and be part of the melting pot. The gap between Haves vs Have Nothings is growing at light speed. Heck, even those of us whose families came on on the Mayflower are lacking in opportunity, so it's not just the new folks. We''re looking more like a south American country every year. -JKing.
ReplyDeleteWe have hostile subcultures because a certain segment of our society wants suspicion and hostility stirred up between subcultures in order to keep the dumb-masses controllable.
DeleteSeriously, before Obama, subculture relations (except the deep inner-city and certain parts of the 'religion of pieces') were the best that this nation ever had. And then Comrade Obama along with all the Alinsyites shattered that, with the help of Soros and other 'socialist' and leftist elite rich.
This subculture division is pushed by the same people who created the Department of Education, and destroyed the public school systems.

DeleteHmm, gonna have to politely disagree. Wage stagnation and wealth inequity really took off starting with Nixon and it's been downhill since. -Jking.
ReplyDeleteMy position and yours are not mutually exclusive, actually.
Deletesorry, I meant to disagree with Beans' comment. -jking

And after it all happened and the obvious was that you were ahead of the game and called it, from the beginning, it's like nothing happened. You don't gain credibility for the next time you see what is coming. And it's never a Learning Moment for the perpetually Wrong,, who are never in Doubt.
Ask me how I know.
