I am an indifferent student of history, which is a polite way of saying that I’m really crap at it and don’t know all that much. So, rightly or wrongly, my view of The Enlightenment is that, spurred on by the enthusiastic adoption and spectacular successes of the
All this seems so bloody obvious and yet getting any of this through to the woke-tards is nigh impossible. I suspect it’s a case of not being able to wake a man who is pretending to be asleep.
I was listening to Andrew Klavan talking about the Trump trial the other day, and the fact that just by being a juror in a this sham event one is legitimizing it. I feel the same way, these days, about much of academia and the belief system that has arisen from these cultural elites. The only sensible thing to do is to look ‘em in the eye and declare “horseshit” and yet we engage them as if the introduction of reason and logic into the argument will change their minds— rather than putting their wacky views side by side with out rational ones as if they are equally likely.
Yet— what can you do? I’ve been accused of having the “wacky views” once or twice (the Covid vaccine comes to mind) and the lack of engagement from the other side only made me more suspiciously adamant. So ultimately maybe we need to hold out hope that rationality triumphs, at least in the people who really matter. (Rational people— or, as I like to call them— human beings. Everybody else is just an animal on two legs.)
Who would you be with half your testosterone? Or if you took non human testosterone and had too much? How would you act? Or if you couldn't form new thoughts, were losing your memory capabilities? Cuz that's what we are looking at. Not to mention all the other chemical and electrical issues we are facing. Hippocampi (where new thoughts originate) and organs not working so good for most. The work of German Dr. Michael Nehls ( he has a Substack) on real vit. D and low dose Lithium (Orotate) is worth a look; our brains are hijacked chemically in multiple ways. Nels also has lots of good interviews out there, has a Youtube as well.
How come doping rules aren't applied? For a real woman (X,X) having too high a testosterone value is grounds for disqualification, basically.
Calling the present time more enlightened than the preceding one is old tradition - the greeks did it too. It makes you look better is all, long as you don't use objective metrics.
Which is why the debate on objectivity had to be made impossible, and trying to be impartial, objective and factual had to be turned into white heteronormative male supremacy.
Which is kind of funny when you look at it askew: it implies the most desirable traits in umpires, rulers, judges, politicians and so on? Are traits inherent in and intrinsical to white heterosexual men. In fact, the woke are actually claiming men like me are the most superior humans on the planet. . . and while I'd be inclined to agree, subjectively speaking, I do acknowledge that objective measures can be made to exist.
It's all very toppsy-turvy, it is.
Maher is simply ignorant on facts, but as a woman she can use her far superior (compared to most men) ability in social manipulation and malleability of self to get ahead, possibly without giving head á la Hollywood to do so. Take the bit about written vs oral culture: the celts, the ancient scots and the picts, the suebi and marcomanni and svear and so on weren't all that big on writing stuff down in any permanent form (wood and leather not being permament mediums historically speaking) and since the didn't build the kind of kingdoms that needed a bureaucratic class (yes, needing bureaucracy is the Mother and Father of writing and recordkeeping means you have to develop somewhat permanent mediums, such as stone stelae or at least clay tablets) they never bothered much beyond rune stones (or ogham and such).
By Maher's logic, the whitest of whites (celts, teutonics, slavs) are the most superior since they didn't have much written culture. Wonder how she'd reply to that?
Consider the possibility that the universe is itself intelligent. That it has not simply gone from big bang to its present state by a series of happy (?) accidents but by some deliberate intention, towards greater order, complexity, less entropy, and possibly even an environment where intelligent self awareness is possible. That it has taken so long to produce something like us is not an argument for random evolution - just that it takes a long time for physics to produce the ingredients required to make the soup.

Stop committing Genocide!

The best methodology will endure and eventually win again. We all will just have to let it all painfully play its ugly way out, I expect.
