“Diversity” Just Means Chasing Down Whites

The big difference between my thinking and that of other of our political thinkers is that their preferred statements get longer while mine get shorter.

It is amazing how few people know the meaning of the word “meme.”

Meme is a twenty-first century word. With the Internet we can more and more clearly see how spreading the most impressive or fun information is useful precisely because it sells so well.  photo nycprovincials.png

There is no longer even the slightest pretense that those who control information have anything useful to say.

Actually, the fact that those who control information have nothing to say, was true for the two thousand years since Aristotle said that women are born with less teeth than men.

Galen was being recopied saying some mythical “humors” caused all disease and bleeding was the big cure, and you were burned at the stake for saying the world was not created in seven days.

Today the stake is reserved for people like us, but even the drooling public no longer looks to Big Names to tell them Truth.

The one big truth the Web has taught is that what used to be Authority is and always has been laughable.

In the twenty-first century even the New York City Provincials are coming to realize that masses of words and mountains of information are no substitute for learning to THINK.

Memes are repeated to give a sensible Way of Thinking, not a mountain of information.

Once Newton pinned his mind on gravity, and followed that reality like a bloodhound, about everything that had been said by The Wise about the nature of the universe was seen to be ridiculous.

You can’t read your way out of thinking that is silly to begin with.
