It is pointless to argue with the ideologically "woke", you're not having the same type of conversation. The following illustrates this.

'Language also helps to keep outsiders away. Bosker quotes a widely discussed paper on the birth of “International Art English,” a blatantly exclusionary dialect, “not necessarily for communicating,” that instead serves to build tribal identity among art elites.

...

When she told a curator that a performance art piece was “boring,” the curator disagreed: It wasn’t boring, it was “durational.”'

A journalist goes undercover to reveal the absurdity of the art scene - The Washington Post


The following is a text wall only posted for Zipporah really. Wonder what she thinks?

'The new technocrats are ostentatious in their use of language that appeals to Enlightenment values—reason, progress, freedom—but in fact they are leading an antidemocratic, illiberal movement. Many of them profess unconditional support for free speech, but are vindictive toward those who say things that do not flatter them. They tend to hold eccentric beliefs: that technological progress of any kind is unreservedly and inherently good; that you should always build it, simply because you can; that frictionless information flow is the highest value regardless of the information’s quality; that privacy is an archaic concept; that we should welcome the day when machine intelligence surpasses our own. And above all, that their power should be unconstrained. The systems they’ve built or are building—to rewire communications, remake human social networks, insinuate artificial intelligence into daily life, and more—impose these beliefs on the population, which is neither consulted nor, usually, meaningfully informed. All this, and they still attempt to perpetuate the absurd myth that they are the swashbuckling underdogs.

...

Technocracy first blossomed as a political ideology after World War I, among a small group of scientists and engineers in New York City who wanted a new social structure to replace representative democracy, putting the technological elite in charge. Though their movement floundered politically—people ended up liking President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal better—it had more success intellectually, entering the zeitgeist alongside modernism in art and literature, which shared some of its values. The American poet Ezra Pound’s modernist slogan “Make it new” easily could have doubled as a mantra for the technocrats. A parallel movement was that of the Italian futurists, led by figures such as the poet F. T. Marinetti, who used maxims like “March, don’t molder” and “Creation, not contemplation.”

The ethos for technocrats and futurists alike was action for its own sake. “We are not satisfied to roam in a garden closed in by dark cypresses, bending over ruins and mossy antiques,” Marinetti said in a 1929 speech. “We believe that Italy’s only worthy tradition is never to have had a tradition.” Prominent futurists took their zeal for technology, action, and speed and eventually transformed it into fascism. Marinetti followed his Manifesto of Futurism (1909) with his Fascist Manifesto (1919). His friend Pound was infatuated with Benito Mussolini and collaborated with his regime to host a radio show in which the poet promoted fascism, gushed over Mein Kampf, and praised both Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. The evolution of futurism into fascism wasn’t inevitable—many of Pound’s friends grew to fear him, or thought he had lost his mind—but it does show how, during a time of social unrest, a cultural movement based on the radical rejection of tradition and history, and tinged with aggrievement, can become a political ideology.

...

To be clear, the Andreessen manifesto is not a fascist document, but it is an extremist one. He takes a reasonable position—that technology, on the whole, has dramatically improved human life—and warps it to reach the absurd conclusion that any attempt to restrain technological development under any circumstances is despicable.

...

“Our enemy,” Andreessen writes, is “the know-it-all credentialed expert worldview, indulging in abstract theories, luxury beliefs, social engineering, disconnected from the real world, delusional, unelected, and unaccountable—playing God with everyone else’s lives, with total insulation from the consequences.”


The irony is that this description very closely fits Andreessen and other Silicon Valley elites. The world that they have brought into being over the past two decades is unquestionably a world of reckless social engineering, without consequence for its architects, who foist their own abstract theories and luxury beliefs on all of us.

...

In 1961, in his farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned the nation about the dangers of a coming technocracy. “In holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should,” he said, “we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system—ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.”

...

Technocrats are right that technology is a key to making the world better. But first we must describe the world as we wish it to be—the problems we wish to solve in the public interest, and in accordance with the values and rights that advance human dignity, equality, freedom, privacy, health, and happiness.'

DeGrasse Tyson has disappeared up his own Anus ~ Like so many Black People.

Apparently DeGrasse Tyson is worried that some of the Women he has been involved with might come after him = = So, He ain't going to take the chance that the Lefty Loonies will take their side against him ~ Even with him being a Special Black and all that.

I remember another interview where he was blabbing on about "the concensus " in relation to covid thus " the science " was settled.
A total bs artist.

That's exactly what he is. Even those idiot presenters have clearly bought into his hype by calling him "one of the world's greatest physicists". Wtf?? He runs a planterium FFS. Does no research. Publishes nothing.

There's a slew of these BS artists, "public educators" i.e. those arseholes too lazy to do actual work and who instead make millions peddling their guff to mongs who think they're great because they can string a sentence together.

I remember this fella from his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast.

Tend to agree that it's deteriorated since its Dubya days but I thought this was an interesting article.

Well, the article itself was critical of the tech moguls' use of social media to roll out social engineering schemes. That was its principal theme and, thus, could be described as counter-narrative.

It was comparing this singularity extremism with early C20th modernists, particularly with elements within the Fascist movement (which had socialist fundamentals) - which was why I hopes that Zipporah would comment on it. She seems to be familiar with the broad subject although the emphasis is often on the mystical/occult aspects. Soviet Russia during the 1920s also dabbled explicitly in these ideas and later institutionalized them under Stalin.

The term Fascist, when it's not just used as a pejorative, is presently popularly used for states or groups that organise civil society according to military schematics - the survival of the fittest so to speak. So, Pinochet, or any of those C20th Third World dictatorships that weren't Marxist, could have been described as Fascist and this would have made sense.

Left wing groups generally seem to describe as Fascist any efforts to counteract them - essentially anything that could be described as part of the innate immune system of the society that is subject to their "revolution". That's why the moniker "Far Right" is so freely used nowadays. There is, however, a history to this movement that's interesting to learn about.

If there's anything within the piece that's inaccurate then that would be interesting to know.

'We will have arrived at the limit of perception, and the possible, in this regard. if we arrange it so that men, and in particular those who are looking for prostitutes, can distinguish them from honest women; but that those women, and especially their children, cannot make this distinction, or at least do so only with difficulty.'

On an industrial scale - orders of magnitude greater than the revelations in the nineties. Once things unravel, those involved in this will be processed as people look for some outlet for their panic and misery.

Cernovich is right about keeping well out of the way of any of it, and not just for the reasons of self preservation, but also to remove any possibility of unbeknownst facilitation.

Look at all the dirty bastards looking on and drooling at the prospect.
Sick pedophile filth.

Here's glorious Norway when it comes to pedophiles.
