"Nemuritorul" asta va fi contracandidatul lui Trump ? Fosila asta de 80 de ani ? Din tot partidul democrat altceva nu s-a gasit decat Joe Biden, nimic pe la un 40-50-60 ?
Peste 75 de ani eu nu as mai lasa politicieni in functie niciunde, nici la noi. Si Trump vad ca are 74, e mult. Te prinde 75 ca si presedinte ? Eject !
Astia nu vor sa iasa din politica decat cu picioarele inainte.

In the 1980s, when I was a young professor of physics and astronomy at Yale, deconstructionism was in vogue in the English Department. We in the science departments would scoff at the lack of objective intellectual standards in the humanities, epitomized by a movement that argued against the existence of objective truth itself, arguing that all such claims to knowledge were tainted by ideological biases due to race, sex or economic dominance.
Quote
It could never happen in the hard sciences, except perhaps under dictatorships, such as the Nazi condemnation of “Jewish” science, or the Stalinist campaign against genetics led by Trofim Lysenko, in which literally thousands of mainstream geneticists were dismissed in the effort to suppress any opposition to the prevailing political view of the state.

Or so we thought. In recent years, and especially since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, academic science leaders have adopted wholesale the language of dominance and oppression previously restricted to “cultural studies” journals to guide their disciplines, to censor dissenting views, to remove faculty from leadership positions if their research is claimed by opponents to support systemic oppression.

In June, the American Physical Society (APS), which represents 55,000 physicists world-wide, endorsed a “strike for black lives” to “shut down STEM” in academia. It closed its office—not to protest police violence or racism, but to “commit to eradicating systemic racism and discrimination, especially in academia, and science,” stating that “physics is not an exception” to the suffocating effects of racism in American life.
While racism in our society is real, no data were given to support this claim of systemic racism in science, and I have argued elsewhere that there are strong reasons to think that this claim is spurious. The APS wasn’t alone. National laboratories and university science departments joined the one-day strike. The pre-eminent science journal Nature, which disseminates what it views as the most important science stories in a daily newsletter, featured an article titled “Ten simple rules for building an anti-racist lab.”

At Michigan State University, one group used the strike to organize and coordinate a protest campaign against the vice president for research, physicist Stephen Hsu, whose crimes included doing research on computational genomics to study how human genetics might be related to cognitive ability—something that to the protesters smacked of eugenics. He was also accused of supporting psychology research at MSU on the statistics of police shootings that didn’t clearly support claims of racial bias. Within a week, the university president forced Mr. Hsu to resign.

At Princeton on July 4, more than 100 faculty members, including more than 40 in the sciences and engineering, wrote an open letter to the president with proposals to “disrupt the institutional hierarchies perpetuating inequity and harm.” This included the creation of a policing committee that would “oversee the investigation and discipline of racist behaviors, incidents, research, and publication on the part of faculty,” with “racism” to be defined by another faculty committee, and requiring every department, including math, physics, astronomy and other sciences, to establish a senior thesis prize for research that somehow “is actively anti-racist or expands our sense of how race is constructed in our society.”

When scientific and academic leaders give official imprimatur to unverified claims, or issue blanket condemnations of peer-reviewed research or whole fields that may be unpopular, it has ripple effects throughout the field. It can shut down discussion and result in self-censorship.

Shortly after Mr. Hsu resigned, the authors of the psychology study asked the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science to retract their paper—not because of flaws in their statistical analysis, but because of what they called the “misuse” of their article by journalists who argued that it countered the prevailing view that police forces are racist. They later amended the retraction request to claim, conveniently, that it “had nothing to do with political considerations, ‘mob’ pressure, threats to the authors, or distaste for the political views of people citing the work approvingly.” As a cosmologist, I can say that if we retracted all the papers in cosmology that we felt were misrepresented by journalists, there would hardly be any papers left.

Actual censorship is also occurring. A distinguished chemist in Canada argued in favor of merit-based science and against hiring practices that aim at equality of outcome if they result “in discrimination against the most meritorious candidates.” For that he was censured by his university provost, his published review article on research and education in organic synthesis was removed from the journal website, and two editors involved in accepting it were suspended.

An Italian scientist at the international laboratory CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider, had his scheduled seminar on statistical imbalances between the sexes in physics canceled and his position at the laboratory revoked because he suggested that apparent inequities might not be directly due to sexism. A group of linguistics students initiated a public petition asking that the psychologist Steven Pinker be stripped of his position as a Linguistics Society of America Fellow for such offenses as tweeting a New York Times article they disapproved of.

As ideological encroachment corrupts scientific institutions, one might wonder why more scientists aren’t defending the hard sciences from this intrusion. The answer is that many academics are afraid, and for good reason. They are hesitant to disagree with scientific leadership groups, and they see what has happened to scientists who do. They see how researchers lose funding if they can’t justify how their research programs will explicitly combat claimed systemic racism or sexism, a requirement for scientific proposals now being applied by granting agencies.

Whenever science has been corrupted by falling prey to ideology, scientific progress suffers. This was the case in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union—and in the U.S. in the 19th century when racist views dominated biology, and during the McCarthy era, when prominent scientists like Robert Oppenheimer were ostracized for their political views. To stem the slide, scientific leaders, scientific societies and senior academic administrators must publicly stand up not only for free speech in science, but for quality, independent of political doctrine and divorced from the demands of political factions.

Mr. Krauss a theoretical physicist, is president of the Origins Project Foundation and author of “The Physics of Climate Change,” forthcoming in January.

Algebra, geometry perpetuate white privilege
Quote
Gutierrez worries that algebra and geometry perpetuate privilege because "emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi" give the impression that math "was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."
She also worries that evaluations of math skills can perpetuate discrimination against minorities, especially if they do worse than their white counterparts
Sigur, nu e cam si cum ar avea cunostinte sau o educatie solida in matematica, are un B.A. in biologie umana si un PhD. in stiinte sociale

I haven't been on Twitter since March, but I'm on today bc I need ppl to consider how they can support colleagues and reframe the nastiness taking place though 2 + 2 = 4. It's no coincidence that womxn (of color) are being targeted! #takebackmath #mtbos #iteachmath

Și da, no comment...
Defapt da, comment, deconstructivism tipic, dacă nu identic cu cel al Khmer Rouge în Cambodgia anilor '70

Probabil e pus sa piarda.  In perioada asta cand ai sute de mii de morti, vreo 3 milioane de infectati si 50 milioane de someri cu multe agitatii si proteste violente, numai la guvernare sa nu fii.

Sau  are un as in maneca - un VICE care va conduce de facto America in timp ce Biden va fi doar de ornament.
Se zvoneste ca ar putea fi  o femeie de culoare din Florida, fost mare politist, care ar putea sa-i fure voturile lui Trump din Florida.
Fara Florida, Trump e mancat!
Dar eu cred ca va fi lasat sa piarda.
Si  Trump va castiga al doilea mandat ca sa si-o ia de la servicii  in stil Nixon . Neoconii republicani din senat il vor abandona cand se vor vedea cu sacii-n caruta la urmatorul impeachment. Va depinde de Mike Pence daca ii va acorda pardon-ul pentru ca fara ala, s-ar putea sa devina primul presedinte american care ajunge la puscarie federala si chiar pe viata la cate acuzatii are. 
Nixon, fiind inteligent si un corupt mult mai abil cu relatii, a scapat ieftin.
Trump nu o sa aiba norocul lui.

Din cate vad pedofilii de la Netflix nu se lasa.  Este absolut odios si dezgustator ce li se permite,si cand mai vad pe cate unul ca apara netlix ca "lasa haterule ca au seriale bune"  oh really? sunt hater? Pai explain this shit then..... Netflix apartine de acel gen de "woke" ce imi provoaka voma, rar am dat de cate un film sau serial sa nu aibe ceva propaganda in spate,iar asta,rahatul asta m-a facut ca efectiv orice,nu ma intereseaza daca va fi cel mai de cel mai film sau serial ce exista,cel mai bengos,cel mai bun,rahatul asta m-a determinat ca orice ce va avea sigla netlix va primi pass instant de la mine.

Vestul e cotropit de un nou tip de comunism, sa nu mai ocolim miezul problemei. E clara!
Una din strategiile multiple este demontarea sexualitatii. De la redefinerea sexelor la exploatarea copiilor. Cea mai dezgustatoare din tacticile woke.. abuzul copiilor nevinovati.

S-a dus dracu internetul de cand s-a politizat si televiziunile l-au acaparat si a devenit accesibil cocalarilor, bombardierilor si pitipoancelor. 
Mi-e dor de vremurile cand erau putini cei care il foloseau (adica doar tocilarii, doar oamenii educati care stiau sa porneasca un PC si sa acceseze internetul si sa tastez ) si era un loc decent de discutat, o evadare din lumea reala, un refugiu de televiziune.
Nu era hedonismul, nu era prostia ca acum, nu era nici cenzura si nici nu era instrument de propaganda.


Comparati nivelul discutiilor de pe Stonehenge din defunctul CG din anii 2000-2010 cu .......ce vedem azi, in general, pe toate retelele sociale sau pe forumuri gen Softpedia.
Mi-e sila cand observ cat de mult a decazut nivelul intelectual pe internet. 

Si asta din cauza corectitudinii politice.
Eu n-am problema cu homosexualii, cu alte rase si alte religii...........poate doar cu feministele de rit nou.
Ma irita ca  corectitudinea politica tolereaza si chiar emancipeaza PROSTIMEA.
Faptul ca am inceput sa vedem idioti care au drept la libera exprimare de la stanga la dreapta: de la idiotii  de stanga care cer sa fie mai egali decat altii folosindu-se de culoarea pielii  sau de sex si  care vor sa falsifice trecutul, inclusiv fanaticii religiosi (se stiu ei care) ce incearca sa ne bage religia  lor pe gat.......pana la  dobitocii de dreapta ca anti-vaxxeri, adeptii pamantului plat, anti-5G-istii, anti-progres, cei care neaga schimbarile climatice. 
Ambele tabere care  inca amesteca  religia cu politica si afacerile in 2020 si ies la inaintare cu discursuri nationaliste, religioase si populiste.

Liberalismul  de azi  aluneca prea mult spre socialism si corporatism, Conservatorismul aluneca prea mult spre oligarhism, daca nu chiar spre fascism.   


Cum a spus si Ciocanul, daca americanii au ajuns sa aiba de votat intre doi decrepiti senili de 70-80 ani  pentru cea mai mare functie de comandant suprem si lider al lumii libere,  e clara treaba ca civilizatia occidentala e "fucked up" si s-ar parea ca China va prelua stafeta de superputerea secolului 21.

Ma uitam acum cateva zile pe fb la o negresa din US ce o urmaresc ca face video-uri scurte si comice. Si la un moment dat are un rant despre R Kelly. Pe scurt e un cantaret mega cunoscut ce are acum 50 de ani si e la bulau ca a umblat si a futat acum 10 de ani putze de 14-16 ani, de parca faptul ca l-au bagat acum la bulau le face inapoi virgine si neprihanite. Si am scris doar ca acum 50-100 de ani fetele la 14-16 ani se casatoreau si inca sunt zone geografice mai inapoiate unde asta inca se practica, "fetele" la 14 ani sunt anatomic femei in toata regula. Au sarit pe mine cu comentarii imbecile de "what is wrong with you ?".
