The trick is in turning a simple decision into a crisis. When "What is a woman?" becomes a crisis, external mediation is required, both internally and externally. This has been foisted upon us over the last 100 years or so. The attached comment is how: xitter.cf/PawsitiveVybe/status/2…

Behaviorism doesn't just fail to disclose powers (properties), it trains Effectivity to run on features. Effectivities run on Properties, not features. Effectivity is the power to recognize properties as actionable features of opportunity that invite action. What a trainwreck!

Sorel’s “revolutionary transformation is really a psychological upheaval that comes from within, rather than the collapse of a superstructure from without, his idea of real social revolution is much more akin to the transformation of the human soul”. philpapers.org/rec/STASSO-2 3/3

The woke’s subjective ideas of “lived experience”, “voice” etc., are in Vichian terms “imaginary universals”, that are “formed by feelings of passion and emotion”.“the more subjective and poetic an idea becomes, the less vulnerable it is to such an ideology critique.” #GBVico 2/

The baseline, unstated assumption of the entire child and adolescent mental health system is that adaptation to the mass collective environment is the definition of sanity and non-adaptation is the definition of pathology.

"The new Marxist-Leninist political myth was PUBLICIZED and accepted only by a certain, not large proportion of idealistically minded young people from all sections of Western Society, as well as by some assimilatory minded representatives of national minorities and some declassed people. All this amounted to a very strong zealot-type support for the influencer Bolshevik regime from a relatively small but vocal minority in social media."

[best viewed on a PC / large screen; perusing this tweet thread on your phone will be a chore] What follows is a long tweet thread that maps the world's financial infrastructure back through time from the present (Basel III) to the founding of the Bank of England, a span of nearly 350 years. The bulk of this text is LLM-scraped, re-checked through a different LLM, then vetted by a friend with a far better understanding of global financial operations than I possess. No small amount of engineering has gone into these wealth extraction designs -- something you don't have to have high financial literacy to appreciate. 1/x Basel III (2010 to present+).

An ideology is powerful bc it tries to reorganize the entire MeWe structure under one interpretive system. Once internalized, the ideology begins interpreting every experience through its lens. An example of an internalized ideological lens of a MeWe is #CriticalConsciousness

“Through Pedagogy of Insurrection we come to realize that we may be living through one of Walter Benjamin’s (1940) messianic moments, one that will eventually and inevitably break with history and put us on the path toward socialism.” #CriticalPedagogy #Freire #CriticalTheory

"The danger of the intellectual is that he lives in a world of words and concepts, which are much cleaner and easier to manage than reality. He mistakes his own aesthetic satisfaction with an idea for moral virtue". Iris Murdoch

“It does not need to be a reality” -Mussolini “Mussolini's fascism…may be regarded…as…organized & vulgarized transformation of the prewar Sorelian movement. If Mussolini could boast…fascism had no ideology, it was because for him Sorel's myth could be a lie” #GeorgeSorel

“in 1896, Sorel…broached the subject of revolution in…study of #GBVico’s Scienza nuova…The…philosopher, he believed…made a perfect distinction between two types of revolutions…one was…a conspiratorial party…The other…an exploited class seeking to introduce ‘new rights’”

“Many possessed by…heroic utopia can slide from one ideal to another, relatively indifferent to the content of the utopia.” “There was, of course, no final conquest because the utopia lay in the conflict itself.” Sorel’s utopia is a “death-and-resurrection fantasy for mankind”

“They saw through mirrors to the inner truth of themselves”, “were wiser in their generation…they have seized upon the schools and universities”, a “militant Chosen People”. A “new religion of heroic combat is being imposed upon the youth”, “turning the children against parent”

🧵 on Gloria #LadsonBillings, the primary source for bringing #CRT into the field of education. You know, #CriticalRaceTheory that so many super honest & super smart people have repeatedly liked to claim doesn’t even exist outside of Law Schools. 1/19
