The heaviness of fame and fans | Armed and Dangerous Jordan B. Peterson is a big thinker, a psychologist and mythographer and synthesist who may be – or at least be becoming – the most important moral critic of our time. But it is not merely the breadth and brilliance of Peterson’s thought that is impressive, it is the personal qualities that shine through in his lectures – a foundation of intellectual courage and humility that underpins his thought. What he is is an important part of the persuasion for what he thinks.
New word, progsanity: willful political, historical, and social amnesia commonly found among progressives when convenient to advance a radical agenda; the rewriting of history, including recent developments and the refutation of logic and its substitution by loud screaming, sneering, and violence, all justified by “the cause,” to wit, the destruction of Western values, norms, and civilization.The DiploMad 2.0: Progsanity
Dante is so wonderfully severe; so new. Can any poet match Dante in moral severity? In a world that rots, we need new. We need to keep it new. That is why mere conservatism can never cut it. We need the full-bodied reactionary attitude; the take-no-prisoners approach of Dante. Make it new : Essays in Idleness
Elsewhere in hell, the NeverEnding Failure Tour takes its book of lies to Costco, whose CEO loves Obama and Hillary and has given them both ooodles of cash.
Oh come on, Gerard– that “College Romance Today” pic is all wrong: it should have either two dudes of different pigmentation or one dude and a male-to-female transgender critter. Also, the guy in the pic is suspiciously clean-shaven with short hair and no visible skin piercings or tats– he might be a closet Republican, and we can’t have that on a woke college campus.

Froggy went a courtin’ and he did eat-a-snake uh-huh, uh-huh.
Re: Infamous Fake Photos That Once Fooled The World. Those photos are laughably bad, worse than Photoshop, and one wonders how anyone could ever have believed they were real. But even the P.T.

I wonder what future generations will say about us.

Reminds me George Clooney in O’Brother where art thou. “Damn, I’m in a tight spot”
Something I leaned recently was that the invention of the X-Ray image, before the turn of the 20th C., was upsetting on a mass scale. Philosophers and lunatics alike were seeing it as a next-order threat to the world, I guess.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

AH, that Hillary at Costco photo was my inspiration!
