Permit me Jake the indulgence of extending my most effulgent approbation for your recent prolix perambulations through the luxuriant lexicon of our beloved English tongue. Your sesquipedalian predilections, far from being an impediment to intelligibility, represent a salubrious balm upon the oft-diminished art of articulate articulation.

Harvard has a long history of discrimination against Jews. This lefty iteration of secular Jew hatred as an academic subject is such a joke.

I want to see the money trail from Qutar to Harvard. Who has been paid off? Anti Jew. Anti western. Anti intellectual. Smoothing the pathway for Islamism to penetrate USA and being partly responsible for the…[Read more]

Umm, you know, I have a far larger vocabulary than the average American, yet I had to run to the dictionary.

A little advice: if you want to be a smart communicator and not just a narcissistic egghead show off, use the common vocabulary.

The dictionary gives several synonyms: fine, acceptable or normal;…[Read more]

Jake,

Enco, i am torn betwen a requirement for Muslims before becoming US citizens. Should they be required to spit, urinate or defecate on their Quran?

It’s already forbidden for immigrants claiming asylum to be members of totalitarian parties or to engage in persecution themselves. We see how this is working out with our ill-enforced…[Read more]

Jake,

Big bang. 13 billion years hence. Cromulent. Big splash.

I like the word “cromulent.” It sounds like an adjective resulting from adding seasoned bread crumbs or cookie crumbs to complete a tasty entree or dessert.

Speaking of “The Big Bang”, when I first heard the term “Big Crunch” from the mouth of Berke Breathed’s child prodigy Oliver…[Read more]

Simon,

I think it’s ordinary straightforward philosophy. It would interest some people.

Posing a question and then saying that the answer is impossible to communicate, as Nagel does, is just intellectual self-lobotomizing. At least give the best evidence-based attempt at an answer and auto-correct when more evidence arises.

And to all of the White bread ivy league students majoring in middle eastern studies and crying dodger blue for the Palestinians. Mandatory visits into the bowels of death cult hell. Encourage them to…[Read more]

Simon,

He doesn’t have to be such a dick about it. I’m no fan of the excesses of woke puritan zealotry, but we can just draw a line and move on, that would be OK. I don’t feel like crushing them to death and dancing on the bits.

Their line didn’t allow for Western Civilization, much less America, Jews, or Israel.

Big bang. 13 billion years hence. Cromulent. Big splash.

Robert,

Everything Trump is doing sets a precedence and becomes normalized. Harvard is just one aspect on the attack on education. It may seem partially righteous now, but more is to come.

Oklahoma just passed a state resolution that “Christ is King”.

Watched the video. Was dumbfounded at the Nazi (or Naziesque) palm-down salutes.

At the White House. This is America.

Yeah, I know, but Harvard already settled the discrimination case with pro-semitic provisions and a five-year plan.

Robert,

@Enco, sure companies pay taxes, but no company was going to orchestrate a mission to the moon. The return on investment as far as business development enabled by the Apollo program was 700% or 7:1 to the taxpayers.

If you had paid attention to the video from The Hill, Harvard’s private endowment was $57 Billion compared against $1…[Read more]
