Former Professor Boghossian says college cannot be saved

Post by Belle » Wed Apr 24, 2024 6:47 pm

How to turn a Lefty into a more conservative/classical liberal. There are growing legions of them now and they're all hugely intelligent and speaking out. I suddenly feel hope!! Dr. Boghossian nails it on each of these dreadful metrics.

Boghossian and Shellenberger have created a Taxonomy of Wokeness, which is difficult to read because Google has obscured it in typical tyrannical censorship fashion: YOU can't read what THEY don't believe!!

If they were, they wouldn’t.

The Taxonomy chart I've posted can be enlarged and read on the Iphone: I've just done it myself and it makes for compelling reading. Very cleverly and accurately thought out by two whip-smart intellectuals.

That's a very dichotomous statement. Should they not speak out because they might be pilloried or is there another reason?

Getting to more serious matters, Holden, how are your knees going?

It’s pretty clear who is being “pilloried” here and it ain’t the Woke-hunting tag team.

Three creatures are especially cacophonous: geese, snakes, and fools. Now Belle’s “hugely intelligent” woke hunters (epigones of the medieval scholastics) have every right, of course, to sound off however they please, but it would help if they would stand forth beforehand and be identified.

The Woke hysteria of today harkens back to drab life under the Red Scare of the 1950s. The cast of characters is a variable factor, the ignorance and superstition remain constant.

Oh good, a chart I can consult anytime I need to decide what I think about any particular issue. It's so nice that these guys know in advance what everyone thinks before they think it. Too bad those evil people at Google have made it impossible for me to read. I'm sure the Illuminati put them up to it.
Black lives matter.

Me too. It is patent nonsense. A “Taxonomy chart” indeed!! Boghossian hog swill is being passed off as caviar.
