The typhoonish weather continues. I don’t know when I’ll go to Wuxi. Surely, the subway isn’t in operation
Continued thoughts on the Jiangyin Friendship event I attended yesterday:
I like Filipinos. They’re fun, kind people who love to sing and dance. One I meet last night told me ha had relatives in Winnipeg. He told he had heard it was cold there and asked me what it was that they needed workers for: oil and gas? It wasn’t that I told him. I was then baffled as to what Manitoba’s economic purpose was.
I just heard that they have tried to assassinate Trump again. Shots were fired. Thankfully, they missed. This attempt will probably be memory-holed like the first one. If Trump doesn’t win the next election, it will be a time of evil.
Here’s a thought: in two hundred years, historians will look at the social revolutions of the 20th and 21st century — lbgqt and all that — as an enlightenment, even though it looks messy now. Not my thought so here are my responses :
- sounds like “you need to break eggs to make an omelet.”
- it is a cliche used by progressives to say that history will judge their policies as effective or that history is on their side. Says NGD: “History buries, without solving, the problems it raises.”; “History shows not the inefficient of actions but the futility of intentions.”; “ The history of man is not the catalog of his situations, but the account of his unpredictable ways of using them.”; “The individual believes in the “meaning of history” when the foreseeable future appears favorable to his passions.” Why don’t they say that God will judge?
- So what you’re saying is for now, we’re screwed. That is all living people.
- there are still plenty of people making solid arguments against the last enlightenment.
- most of humanity finds this social revolution unpalatable and always will.
