Or perhaps something by John 'Gor' Norman.

The thought occurred to me that even by the standards of the endless thread I managed to stray wildly from the topic at hand. No news there I suppose.

As a corrective - let me say that on balance I think that the world was a better place that John W Campbell was once in it.

If PZ or that Marxist Corey Doctorow want to dig up his corpse and put him on trial like a medieval pope for having unacceptable political opinions - that's on them. I would hope that the wider population takes a more considered view - though it's more likely that they don't give a shit.

They used to at least pretend to be trying to establish a guest's policies and opinions on the subject at hand, but now they just find a quote they think they can use and hammer away at that until the target is neutralised.

Was not expecting to see this name in an article about Epstein. I'm not sure if "science blogger" applies anymore. "Rage blogger" might be more accurate. A previous lawsuit:

In his telling, Pivar ended his friendship with Epstein after learning from Farmer of her sexual assault. Some evidence of the tension between Pivar and Epstein is lying in public view. In August 2007, Pivar sued a science blogger named P.Z. Myers and Seed Media Group, which hosted his blog, alleging defamation. Myers had lit into Pivar’s work, calling him “a classic crackpot.” In his complaint, Pivar made a point of mentioning by name two prominent members of SMG’s board: Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The lawsuit was later dropped.

I have a feeling the "investment class" (rich people) are just itching to dump trump. The Dow took a massive dive today, so if you weren't shorting stock, you just lost a truckload of money. Yes, trump wasn't elected by the investment class, but those are the people who control him. The dunce seems to be purposefully rocking the boat. Today he instructs American corporations to get out of China, right before the Fed gives a big announcement on interest rates. People were sprinting to their brokers. Then he says it was all a joke.

This loose cannon needs to be tied down before it sinks the ship.

I gotta admit that I used to be more like ole PZ. I was mad at the world... figuring it was everyone elses fault for my struggles. Then I started to become successful.... and... eventually... I figured out that I could succeed as long as I didn't blame things on others. PZ is basically just a whining loser.

I work twice as hard as any of the women in my life right now.... and hell... I work ten times more than my wife. and... this is what the patriarchy looks like.... Jesus Christ.

and the fucking leftist assholes try to call me a fascist. whatever. Haha.

I think it was Camile Paglia who said something like "If women ran everything we would still live in grass huts." Haha. I love it. Because really.... science fiction is about fucking SCIENCE! It is in the god-damned name! SCIENCE FICTION. Men like science and machines and shit ten times more than women.... So... most of the good sci fi tends to be masculine. GET OVER IT BITCHES and go read Little Women or something. Go fuck off! And let men have some male spaces! Really now... just suck my asshole!

So, now, after being totally red-pilled I struggle to even listen to the radio or TV. What the fuck!

The result of intersectional crap is that people now have other people to blame for their situation. That leads to tribalism, and tribalism never leads to anything good. Here is an example (from NBC (!)) of blaming men for women's problems:

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/m ... cna1042931

Framed differently, the picture is this: Men need heterosexuality to maintain their societal dominance over women. Women, on the other hand, are increasingly realizing not only that they don’t need heterosexuality, but that it also is often the bedrock of their global oppression.

Historically, women have been conditioned to believe that heterosexuality is natural or innate, just as they have been conditioned to believe that their main purpose is to make babies — and if they fail to do so, they are condemned as not “real,” or as bad, women.

So evolution had nothing to do with it.

I always liked the classic big three - Asimov, Clark and Heinlein, as well as other writers from SF's golden age. But I never considered them the be-all and end-all of the genre, so enjoyed the New Wavies such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Brian Aldis and Harlan Ellison too.

I remember William Gibson saying that he was not interested in the technology so much as the behavior and culture of the people that were using it. So he was writing about people as much as he was writing about things. And then by the time he wrote 'Pattern Recognition' - it was in the same genre and style as his earlier works, but arguably due to general advances was no longer science fiction.

Don't much care who is gerrymandering the lines between 'mascaline' and 'feminine' fiction - to let everyone know what is and isn't acceptable.

Ah well - I think I'll go and read something by James Tiptree Jr...that'll show 'em.

Nah, the one you want to read is Jack Chalker. Maybe something from the Flux and Anchor series. And not Midnight at the Well of Souls - that one's actually a great book.

PZ has a column about a sexual predator prof at Yale. (He never mentions the orientation of the prof. Better to imply it is another white, cis-male, hetero perv than a white, cis-male, gay perv. At the end of the blogpost, PZ reveals why is at UMM rather than an Ivy League college:

I would like to point out that working with spiders in Minnesota seems to provide few excuses for sexually harassing students, but apparently if an industrious, motivated professor could find a way to turn studying vervet monkeys into an opportunity to get into students’ pants, it could be done. Except that I have no interest in treating students that way. I guess that’s why Redmond was at Yale, while I’m at a small state school (PZ Myers)

There you have it! I knew there was a logical explanation why PZ isn't a full prof at Harvard or Yale.

That really is what it's all about. Peez has failed at masculinity his entire life, so when he bombasts " it’s time to overthrow the old order. There will be great pain in the churn", he's fantasizing about toppling all the boys & men who ever were better at being boys & men than he (which he defines as "misogyny" and 'toxic masculinity'.)

What a sad, defeated creature PZ is. Even his impotent rage seems especially flaccid of late.

PZ has been doing "now it's time to get serious and kick ass" schtick since at least the early 2000's on Panda's Thumb. Every couple months he does a new variant of "This time I am really serious! No more Mr. Nice Guy!"

In addition to being one the least scientifically productive Ph.Ds in the history of the degree, he perhaps is academia's biggest paper tiger.

So...concerning free will...

...and the death penalty for people that kill...

...If I recall correctly (which I don't necessarily- see following wiki-link) - Charles Whitman - the Texas Tower shooter requested that an autopsy be performed on him after his death - to try and find the cause of his actions.

The autopsy found a tumor in his brain - but did not conclusively link it to his actions (more info in the link above).

It does raise the question as to what extent he was acting under his own volition - and if he had survived, whether he should have been put in prison, or a mental hospital or possibly just operated on and released.

In some cases - justice seems to be a polite fiction at best.

Funny thing about the enabling and inspiring violence thing is that it sometimes works the other way round to that in which the Resistance claim. At the risk of inflaming Rabbit and Bear, I think Brive was correct in his conjecture as to the roots of recent so-called Right-wing violence in the West. It generally isn't when national leaders talk about a problem that the violence happens, it's when people perceive a major problem in their societies and nobody is talking about it or is allowed to talk about it. Intense frustration has to be released somehow and some people will blow violently. Problem on the Left is that loons genuinely believe that there is a Nazi problem and the authorities refuse to act. They're in a real tizzy over it, hence the rampant violence. IMO the reason they haven't gone full fertiliser bomb is that there are so many public figures and media outlets agreeing with them, which releases some of the emotion.
