Coming soon from this OZ-based outfit. This film will get the regressives and others under the spell of Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome riled up of course — nice!

This looks like it may well be a cracking read. I do appreciate Ken’s quality of mind as per his chat with the Gad Father. consciousnessevolutionary biologyEvolutionary PsychologyFree willgad saadKenneth MillerReasonreligion and science
Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome, (OPS), (os’trich [-trij] par’a-sīt’ik sin’drō-mē) n. a malaise manifest as (1) conceptual- myopia/dissonance/creep and moral impairment; (2) attenuated morality of misplaced solidarité commune; (3) ossified/closed system, fundamentalist and authoritarian in character with nihilistic inclinations; (4) resentment, malevolence, ignorance, cowardice, jointly and severally, tacitly or explicitly, in the service of dissimulation (تقیة); (5) variation of “useful idiot” (Lenin), proclivity…
Well-worth listening to Cynthia what with the significance of today and recent events in Egypt. Now you don’t need to be an observant Christian to appreciate what she’s on about. But of course, if you are a regressive, despite your proclaimed universalist humanism, you will be oblivious to the fact that Islam does not have a Golden Rule…
What with the “communisants” (the priesthood and their bureaucratic Stasi-like enforcers) in charge of the academy, Raymond Aron’s classic The Opium of the Intellectuals (the original English translation freely available here), still has resonance. (Want to know more about Aron? — a good place to start is here and here and I’d highly recommend Aron’s wonderfully lucid two-volume Main Currents of Sociological Thought).…
Check out this symposium on microaggression featuring Scott Lilienfeld, Jonathan Haidt, Derald Wing Sue, and others in Perspectives on Psychological Science (all the papers are open access). While on a psychology note, the funniest and sadly, the most insightful tweet on this day in my feed, is from the Gadfather — shades of Trigglypuff Mk2? Aside from Gad, other notable voices of…
Ah yes, a priesthood that is not at all interested in science and the pursuit of TRUTH. While it’s just tiresome to hear parents gushing about their novitiate children building an “academic” career (i.e. reheated cultural Marxism, activism dressed as inquiry, deploying the usual buzz words of identity and power), what is most disconcerting are their philosophical enablers, not just…
Another instructive conversation — this time between Sam and Gad. Needless to say, the regressive mind will find the discussion too nuanced, civil and most importantly, too veritistic. gad saadislamLiberalismpolitical correctnessregressive leftReligionReligionOfPeacesam harris
Released on this day in ’79 Zappa’s target was, according to some sources, motivated by the banning of music in revolutionary Iran. The target we do know Zappa had in mind was the ascendancy of the fundamentalist Right of the ’80s and the idiotic PMRC proposal . . . but now the target is more appropriately applicable to the regressive…
No doubt Blaire gets the plantation regressives’ (is there any other sort?) knickers in a twist — well goody! While Blaire has sharp insights into a range of SJW fuckwittery, it is her take on transgender that is of particular interest (check out her youtube channel). It’s amazing that so many regressives and cucks (academics, pundits)…
