Death of the West, Higher Education
WARNING -> LONG: The End of the University As We Know It
Short version: No Ideologue Left Behind
the American Association of University Professors has embraced a novel view: "It is not indoctrination for professors to expect students to comprehend ideas and apply knowledge that is accepted as true within a relevant discipline."
Translation: "If it's popularly accepted as true, we can teach it regardless of validity." That should terrify EVERYONE, as they've just described the key ingredient (aside from guns) for the perpetuation of every totalitarian regime ever.
SOME might say take comfort in that this won't include the sciences. Those who take that comfort have not looked up "radical math," and have not listened to Al Gore explain that consensus is truth, and that Global Warming is settled.
"What's popular is what's true" fueled the Dark Ages. These are our intellectual leaders?
The top Republican presidential candidates [snip] have agreed to take part in a Spanish-language debate next month. Pandering our future away.
Global Warming
IPCC Member Calls for Its Abolition
"Over the years, as I have learned more about the data and procedures of the IPCC I have found increasing opposition by them to providing explanations, until I have been forced to the conclusion that for significant parts of the work of the IPCC, the data collection and scientific methods employed are unsound."
Political Correctness:
Jim Cramer Lays into Andrew Cuomo about the mortgage crisis.
He's missing a key ingredient of his rant, though. Previously the government pressured lenders to give away loans to those who can't afford it. (Can you guess who, and why?) Because of those loans falling apart now the government is saying they should stop loaning, which kills profits.
Can you spot the common denominator that's the real problem here? It start with a "g."
White Guilt at the Whitney.
"Walker doesn't paint, exactly. She finds it easier to do black and white silhouettes. Technical skill is no longer emphasized in art; you just need the proper mix of political correctness and degenerate nihilism"
