Eyes of Viktoria a horse i bet at 12 years old who only came on to make board and not win at Suffolk Downs. Poor lady. Brave and like so many brave in an uncaring universe are defeated and the common notion of a just world is laid bankrupt. The Muslim terrorist who beheaded journalist Perlman reported dead as India strikes Muslim Pakistan which naturally is loaded with terrorists borne of the religion of peace. Nucs are no real issue there, right?
“Anyone tied to an ideology cannot think critically by definition. The rise of extreme right and left ideologies is why critical thinking is almost dead.” No question in my mind embracing ideology hook, line, sinker is for the brain dead which is to say the majority. Mindless cant and the far left and far right are filled with emotion and vituperation for any who would challenge their fairy tales. Genocide, apartheid, zionist entity blah blah blah. The rationalizations from the Trump camp for the F’d up shit is amusing but insane.
While the rise of any ideology is involved in the black hole of brain sucking having critical thoughts in the first instance would prevent the sucking. If it had not been for the ancient Jews of Israel no Christianity or Islam. How can anyone say what would have filled the void? Some other nonsense but would it have been more tolerant or rational? Sleep of reason is always in season. Political ideology is just as brain dead as religious and in some ways less excusable. So while i think technology has accelerated the sleep i don’t think the contemporary stupidity is why critical thinking is almost dead. Twas ever thus.
Ponder how breathtakingly stupid the far left is and how its mythology circumvents its objectives. Oh fuck it. Got some good payoffs going and i am distracted.
