Whatever happen to moderation? Everything is so extreme. We have legions of full blown nationalist, racist, sexist, science denying, Jesus loving, homophobic right-wingnuts….. and…. anarchistic, gender political, guilt assuming and speech limiting, Islam coddling leftists.

If you are moderate they all hate you. Many friends actually…[Read more]

These days, I prefer to be creative, rather than follow a particular “paradigm”.  I can’t keep up with what is going on now.  I like watching classic movies though.

Did you spot Drucker or Baudrillard from my “hyperreality” reference above? I once saw Frank Zappa in concert and have been to the little Dali museum in Barcelona. I enjoyed both as experiences within themselves, like most things in life. I seldom read reviews after the event. I have no great impulse to completely deconstruct any work of art bec…[Read more]

The problem with a lot of the postmodernist narrative is the same as the problem with other aspects of the avant garde, and that was once expressed this way: “The problem with the avant garde is that there is no distinguishable difference between the avant garde and a parody of the avant garde.”

Cases in point: the music of Frank Zappa and the…[Read more]

I was once in a debate with two students of theology. When one of them introduced the term “Postmodern Hermeneutics” into the conversation I replied, “Any exegesis of the Bible brings about the modernist conception of “Exit Jesus”.

I was drinking a “Grande Latte” at the time, which was then a new thing. Not a simulacrum of a regular cup of coffee…[Read more]

That’s why I put it in quotes.

Simon…post-modern neo-marxists don’t exists. There is not such thing. I don’t know how you can be criticizing people who logically could not exist even if they wanted to. You are critiquing a fantasy. It’s not even a strawman…it’s some ghostly figures. It would be like complaining about pork eating vegans. Did you not read the actual cartoon?…[Read more]

Lol.  But the “post-modern neo-marxists” don’t do themselves any favours by acting crazy.  Some of their ideas, like Western society being institutionally racist, and intersectionality, are just starting to filter through to me, after having been put off the whole thing for so long.  On the other hand, I can’t help thinking that identity po…[Read more]

Yes, we have witnessed these scenarios play out time and time again. As the dictator tRump has stated” I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody”.

The first part on dictatorships reminded me of the Iraqi Purges in 1979 by Saddam Hussein when he removed 66 “keys” in one afternoon.

So good so far.

I would do any of the above 3 and probably even more extreme than that. But to be able to do everything I want to do would require me to move out of the US. As soon as I can I’m gone. BYE FELICIA!!!

I prefer the alien scenario. I honestly think humanity has absolutely no hope until we either fix our genetic code or some aliens do it for us (they are far less likely to screw up when they attempt to do so).

Ehhhhh. We can avoid the Earth setting on fire if we act now. Humans are too ridiculously selfish to bother. And the American government and half of Americans have always been ridiculous deniers of climate change. No…people won’t make those sacrafices and most importantly businesses wont make enough concessions (thats the serious problem) and…[Read more]

I think we can allow for a diverse population of 100 million humans from all across the planet and the environment would still recover. It’s one “…[Read more]

Sounds like the perfect solution. Shall we just freeze 100 humans and wait for aliens to come visit, revive us and fix all our problems?

I say fuck all that. Just have a lotto, the winners don’t get sterilized. Say 1% get to have a precious baby. Problem solved. Now we have massive resources for the education and betterment of those children. Why does the right to pollute the world with offspring trump all else?

lol, otherwise I agree, option 2. We are almost there already living…[Read more]
