Honors high school program.
My older brother took the 'Eleven Plus" and went to Marlborough Grammar School, where even he managed to do well enough to eventually become a pathologist. The Wilson government decided this would not do, and by the time I was eleven there was only one choice - a 'comprehensive' that took everyone and 'streamed' them into those who were good or not (six grades of goodness!) for humanities, languages, sciences and mathematics. Amusingly, arts, and crafty subjects such as woodwork, metalwork, sewing and cookery were not streamed. Most egregiously, sports were not streamed either, and I definitely would have been in the sixth and lowest for that. I can't help but think that the demagogic theory behind that must be faulty if one's ability at sciences or humanities must be catered for with faster or slower educational efforts, but the far more obvious differences in physical ability must be ignored. Where's the sense in that? Despite that potential failure, I managed to get into the top stream for all areas and to eventually gather enough O, A and S level GCEs to go off to medical school. My point is that a bright student may still rise to the top, like cream.
The damage incurred along the way has not been repaired. It's pretty obvious to me and all who know me that understand these matters that I am on the spectrum of autism, and being focused on academic achievement at school was a decided negative in terms of how I was treated at school, given that I was immersed amongst those who didn't give a shit about such things, and who actively hated those who did. Unfortunately, the schoolboy ethos of not complaining was strong, as was embarrassment at having one's parents turn up to fight your battles, and teachers who would prefer to go on long term sick leave for made-up reasons (I recall mumbling 'present' through bloody lips - acquired during a lunch hour of full-force punches to the mouth in the school library where the duty teacher seemed to be stone-deaf - at a teacher who looked directly at me (my desk abutted his for self-protective reasons) and then chose to move on to the next surname rather than ask why there was blood dribbling down my chin - he took a year off for 'high blood pressure') rather than stand up to those testosterone-fuelled bullies. This meant that I suffered a remarkable amount of injury during my passage through that school. And I only describe it now as the anonymity of the internet, such as it is, lets me do so without the personal shame of having been the loser in all those fights being applied to me. I do still feel shame, and I'm not supposed to do so. Perhaps I should have fought back, made a fuss,, even though I had the strongest feeling from my parents that I was not supposed to get into trouble and doing what they required was the thing that mattered most. See Larkin: 'This Be The Verse'. Oh, well, those fuckers might have found a job at Pressed Steel or the Railway Works, and if they did it didn't last long as both plants closed. No doubt my taxes paid for their unemployment benefits, supplementary income, child benefits et al. Screw 'em all.
Of less historical and more current interest:
My experience tells me that if you want your kids to do as well as possible at school, reaping the eventual rewards and avoiding the short-term damage, spend what you have to, just as you would for a better college.
tl;dr:
The cream rises to the top. Not all of it. And what does is somewhat soured if not allowed to freely find its own level by fuckers who believe that equality of outcome can be enforced by certain kinds of equality of opportunity.

It's also unreliable. You can take it in the morning, get one score, take it in the afternoon, get another. And if you favour black faces that's racism too because you are overcompensating. Stick to the ducking stool, that's more scientific.

Today's Kindle Daily Deal (I'm not on commission, honest) is David Goodhart's The Road to Somewhere which is an attempt to get to grips with the current clash between the political and cultural elites (the 'Anywheres') and the populists (the 'Somewheres').
I've seen it cited quite widely in articles which genuinely try to get to grips with the current political climate instead of resorting to hysterics.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
To be fair there are three more hours to listen to. I’m not hopeful though.
There is a shed load of direct rebuttal from 10 years ago on the link I provided earlier. People with more time and focus than me have already spent more effort than they should on this.
I would like at least a modicum of better informed counter factual.
Were there 3million Jews in Poland pre 1939? *
Was there a Warsaw ghetto with 400,000 Jews from 1940?
Were there massive deportations eastwards between July and September 1942?
Was the ghetto gone by the end of 1943?
If we discount Treblinka, where did the Jews go? What happened to them, detail appreciated. What is the physical evidence supporting this view? What documentary evidence supports this view? Are there alternative witness statements about an alternative destination? What is the oral and cultural history of these dimension X ghettos through to 1945?
Rinse and repeat for the remaining 200 ghettos before moving on to similar hard work reworking the Ukrainian, Baltic, Hungarian And Western European dynamics.
...........
The Jewish population of Poland is an interesting sub argument. There are camps ranging from 1 million something thru to 3.5 million. The crux are 2 interwar census that sow confusion between Jews and those speaking Hebrew and inflows and outflows. The Polish govt is also accused of distorting the results for various reasons. Then you have German counts in 1940 and 1942 done for logistical purposes.
There is a detailed thread here on the various issues:
https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic ... 7&start=30
This is a taste:
In 1940, the German occupiers carried out a census of the Jewish population of the four districts of the Generalgouvernement (Warsaw, Lublin, Radom, Krakow); the total number was found to be 1.3 million, which came as a surprise to the German authorities, who had expected the number to be higher. The German dicument recording the results of the census can be found in the book "Faschismus - Getto - Massenmord".
The figure I previously quoted for the now five districts of the Generalgouvernement in January 1942 was 1,770,635. If the figure for the Lemberg District, annexed in August 1941, 404,162, is deducted, we arrive at a figure of 1,366,473 for the four original districts. In other words, the same figure as in the 1940 census.
I suspect that the German figures for January 1942 were simply the figures of the 1940 census regurgitated, at least in the case of the four original districts. If there had been a substantial excess of mortality in those districts between 1940 and January 1942, that would mean that the actual number of Jews in those districts was in fact somewhat less than that shown in the official German figures. One likely reason why the official figures for January 1942 did no show any decrease since the census of 1940 is that the Jewish councils administering the Jewish ghettos simply did not report the surplus deaths to their German masters, so as not to lose the ration cards of the deceased.
The upshot is that the figures of January 1942 for the districts of Warsaw, Lublin, Radom and Krakow are a good reflection of the number of Jews living in those areas in September 1939. Thus the total figure for the original Generalgouvernment, plus those for the Warthegau, Upper Silesia and Zichenau (1,770,635 + 352,446 = 1,688,919), represents the number of Jews living in the German-occupied zone of Poland, less those who fled east across the demarcation line into the Soviet zone of occupation. Since the number of refugees who fled into the Soviet Zone is generally reckoned at 300,000, that would mean that the total Jewish population of the German Zone in September 1939 was of the order of two million.
Since the original Jewish population of the Soviet Zone is generally reckoned at 1.0 - 1.1 million (excluding the refugees), that would put the total Jewish population of Poland in 1939 at around 3.0 - 3.1 million.
The Jewish population of East Galicia in 1939 was almost certainly higher than the 404,162 recorded in the Lemberg District in January 1942. However, a large number of the Jews living in Soviet-occupied East Galicia were evacuated east just before or just after the German invasion. In addition, a large number were massacred by the German invaders in 1941, as Uberjude wrote. That would account for the reduction in numbers of about 100,000.
Thus, all the data point to a Jewish population of 3.0 -3.1 million in Poland in September 1939.

I wonder whether the high SJW infiltration simply reflects the demographics: among the physical sciences, Astronomy does rather better at female representation than other fields. This is a good thing (representation, not SJWs), and isn't particularly new -- a lot of important stellar astrophysics at the beginning of the 20th century was done by women.CaptainFluffyBunny wrote: ↑Lakdwalla works for the Planetary Society.

Why does it have so many morons? I used to follow Lakdawalla on Twitter when she tweeted lots of rover stuff, but she got more political and I ended up blocked because of fattie Harper's blockbot.
Katie Mack is another.
I still await a response.
There really seems to be an over-representation of nutters in astronomy. Must make poor Dogen's life interesting.

Interestingly, women tend to skew strongly toward the observational (telescope-using) side of astronomy, and are far less common in the theoretical/computational sides. This is likely a result of preference or ability rather than discrimination, IMHO.

Yeah, I read that exchange as it happened. Amazing how they cannot see how an activity being an artistic expression changes things.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑ This is what we're dealing with. Classic:

Just throwing that out here. I seriously need to log off and go cut some firewood.
I suppose reasonable people can disagree about whether or not decorating a cake is sufficiently expressive - although anyone who thinks it isn't should try doing it at the professional level. But that's not the point the point of contention. It's a matter of how everyone must express rightthink. And it's far more totalitarian than Trump on his worst day.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Laughing is great.... walking my hilarious dog is also remarkably precious. I am not drinking too much and I am eating well and working out.
My wife and I will be visiting my daughter this week. She gets out of the psych hospital today and sounds like she is in good spirits on the phone. She lives 7 hours away by car.
My wife is in an absolutely toxic mood. She is ready to do full knock-down battle with my son-in-law for not taking care of our daughter properly. I am trying to slow my wife down, but she if absolutely furious with me. I wrote her a short letter to share my thoughts on her declining health. I basically told her I am 100% committed to her, but she needs to take the lead on improving her health. I can't be her coach because she just attacks me over everything I do and say. I also basically said that I will accept what she decides to do, but that I do not think she will do anything to improve her health. Maybe that was harsh, but I need to start talking honestly... otherwise divorce is certain. I feel like I don't love her right now... and that's pretty shitty. I'm gonna keep and open mind and open heart and see how it goes. We can still both laugh at the dog and watch tv together.
I have reached out to a family counselor/life coach who was recommended by a friend. I need an independent person to toss ideas around with. I used to be able to do this with my wife, but that's not gonna work right now.
Wish me luck!

Rather than say Barry McKenzie, or Smiley or Skippy or Yahoo Serious if comes to that.
Anyway - although it may well be time for a sequel - don't believe what you see because it's not happening...

Or if you want an Oz-fix you could just watch 'Death in Brunswick'
Once were warriors
The Piano
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
District 9
Invictus
The shipping news.

Maybe the others, but I swear District 9 was set in Oz. They keep talking about prawns. There was something about a ship-full of illegal immigrants, too.KiwiInOz wrote: ↑:think: Hmm.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Anyone sad enough to have watched this Sargon v Andrew Anglin (alt Right) debate? I'm 30mins in and this Anglin bloke and the host have only just let Sargon start talking without constantly interrupting.
It's over 5hrs long so no way am I watching it all.

I thought D9 was SA.

Shoutinghorse saved me from finishing this, which would've been a lot of work (though I would've enjoyed making bug-eyed Peez stumble from the wreckage).
