GaryWitt comments on Jan 26, 2020:
I watched a few minutes of Tommy Robinson speaking to the Oxford Union and was astonished at the level of censorship prevailing in the U.K. Police-enforced silencing of Mr. Robinson, coupled with a refusal by the police to take action against violent crime—this is a scandal of incredible proportion.

GaryWitt comments on Jan 21, 2020:
If you’re being detained and cannot walk away you are under arrest, pure and simple. Two hours or two minutes, doesn’t matter. Calling it something different does not make it so. Perhaps someone should detain Rep. Meredith and force him to read the Constitution, pausing briefly to savor the 4th and 5th Amendments. Based on his actions I believe we have probable cause.
World Hijab Day 2020 - Here we go again! - YouTube
GaryWitt comments on Jan 20, 2020:
Muslim women who are required by law to cover themselves with the hijab sometimes claim the hijab is “liberating.” But they never explain how that could be possible. Maybe they think not being beaten is freedom.

Federal Court Orders Snap Hearing on Awan Brothers Democrat IT Scandal: Judicial Watch If I remember...
GaryWitt comments on Jan 15, 2020:
When the FOIA was first enacted many years ago the Democrats were all for it. Today, apparently, not so much. DWS is a perfect example of this hide-the-ball attitude. And then there is the media... The Washington Post claims its motto is “Democracy dies in darkness.” But they’re not filing and pursuing FOIA requests, Judicial Watch is.
Is anyone else keeping up with Chinas economic takeover of Africa.
GaryWitt comments on Jan 15, 2020:
They’re doing this all over the world. South America is another big center for them. It’s difficult to fight when the countries’ governments are willingly agreeing to their onerous terms. Also discouraging (but not particularly surprising) is the pass given to the Chinese by leftist environmental groups, who should by rights be screaming about expanded coal fired power, but are silent.

Poland s Under 18 Women s National Hockey Team Sing the National Anthem. [twitter.com]
GaryWitt comments on Jan 13, 2020:
Well, let’s see. The Nazis invaded Poland in 1939. After the war they were subjugated by the Soviets. They won their independence in 1989 as the result of efforts by Solidarity and its leader Lech Walesa. And now the girls hockey team sings its national anthem joyfully and enthusiastically. There’s a lot to love in this moment.
An absurd postmodern paper I just find on Nature: [nature.com] You guys should read this.
GaryWitt comments on Jan 13, 2020:
Interesting. I tend to agree that our identities are not wholly defined by biology and chemistry. To conclude otherwise would deny the spiritual aspects of life, and surrender to the behavioralists. But postmodernism (at least per M. Foucault, through the lens of relativism) seeks to free everyone from the burden of rational thought. If all choices are equal then thinking things through is a waste of time. Do what you feel. It all becomes a cosmic “Whatever,” which is not only unacceptable but frankly disastrous. Instead, there must be a tension between our reason and our emotions, with reason winning more times than not. But these days the problem seems to be that emotion is winning more frequently than reason. (And BTW, slavery and colonialism have nothing to do with science.)

Excellent discussion!
Should veganism be defined as a religion or philosophy like Christianity or Buddhism?
GaryWitt comments on Jan 12, 2020:
Do we want to allow (and actually encourage) people to invent new religions that are not centered on an actual religious belief? If so, then it would appear leftist political ideology has itself become a religion. The faithful defend it and proselytize as if it were, but that doesn’t mean it is entitled to some special status. Moreover, in view of the disparate treatment between Christians and Muslims, I’m suspect of the intent here. Perhaps some religions are more entitled than others.
Gatestone Institute. "France: The Budding Islamic Republic." [twitter.com]
GaryWitt comments on Jan 10, 2020:
The self-censorship is rampant but—as the article implies—in some cases it is enforced by the government. In some ways I liken it to the Vichy government during the Nazi occupation. And I believe it is very revealing with regard to the French personality.

Beethoven s 5th Concerto. Askenazy. Can This Music Exist Without White Male Patriarchy?
GaryWitt comments on Jan 5, 2020:
I don’t know the answer to your question. I suspect that Beethoven would not have been able to create without the support of his patrons, who of course were part and parcel of the “patriarchy.” But there is still this flickering hope in me that Beethoven would have been Beethoven regardless of his other circumstances; that his creative energy would have overcome any obstacle and burst onto the scene to astonish and inspire us all, as a kind of irresistible force.
Organ Harvesting in China from Live Victims That was an excellent report, Mr Sarin.

The treatment of the Uighurs by China is criminal and should be subject to strict scrutiny by all nations throughout the world.

GaryWitt comments on Dec 28, 2019:
This is a photo of an instant. It does not tell the whole story. What’s important is how people develop over time. Young people start out in the low end but accelerate quickly if they have developed marketable skills. If they have not developed marketable skills it is their own fault. Minimum wage jobs are not intended to provide a living wage for a family of four. And since when do journalists provide a public good.

GaryWitt comments on Dec 25, 2019:
I’m struggling with this right now. And the first thing I notice is that belief in God doesn’t necessarily prevent or inhibit scientific endeavor. Tyson himself acknowledges that a quarter of the Nobel prizes awarded have gone to Jews. It is the demonization of knowledge, reason, and rationality that does the damage. Islam has demonstrated that that damage can last a very long time—and can manifest in many dangerous ways. At the same time, I certainly acknowledge that religious beliefs do not seem to assist the scientific method. The only thing about religion that might be valuable to science is the possible insertion of a moral framework into the research model. And even then, I strongly suspect that inhibiting research on moral grounds is not always (or even often) a good idea. I’d much rather know than not know. The tension between revelation and rationality is perhaps an indispensable aspect of the human condition. When that scale is tilted one way or the other though, humanity loses.

GaryWitt comments on Dec 15, 2019:
I usually try to judge artistic endeavors separately and apart from politics, unless and until the art starts to merge with the politics (in which case the result becomes mere propaganda). In a sense, this is the same as saying I don’t put much stock in the political opinions of actors, painters, musicians, novelists, and poets. So, for example, Wallace Stevens wasn’t a better poet because he was a conservative; Ezra Pound’s poetry should not be dismissed because he was fascist. Sartre was a communist but he still wrote some intriguing novels. Now, of course, the biographical informs the artistic. But I don’t believe the artistic should be cancelled by the biographical, including the political views of the artist.

With all the strikes in France.
GaryWitt comments on Dec 13, 2019:
The situation in France is extraordinarily complex. The only thing that seems clear is that the problems stem from a pervasive and unchallenged leftist ideology. They have an untenable pension system; the unions are all-powerful; taxes are unrelenting; the education system is broken beyond repair; and their government is comprised of elites who are above it all. And in all of this, I cannot help but think it is 1789 redux.

GaryWitt comments on Dec 9, 2019:
I think a lot of people on both ends of the political spectrum have forgotten (or never learned) that government must be limited if we are all to be free. In this context, when people push for the government to “do something” about this or that, then someone’s liberty is about to be curtailed. Count on it. In the case of abortion, the question is and will always be, “whose rights matter more, the mother’s or the child’s?” Allow abortion and the rights of the child are violated. Prohibit abortion and, well, let’s just ask, are the rights of the mother violated? Does the mother not have the best interests of her child at heart? Perhaps not. And of course the child is unable to speak up for himself or herself. So should abortion simply be illegal? Or should someone speak up for the child in some other way? Is the purpose of government to defend the rights of people who are otherwise defenseless?
'Your right is someone's responsibility.
GaryWitt comments on Dec 8, 2019:
Good health is not a fundamental human right. People are born sickly every day. Life is suffering. Disease threatens all of us, and we have no right to require someone else to care for us. If it were otherwise then doctors, nurses, paramedics and others would by definition become slaves. People care for others out of love; responsibility undertaken freely and voluntarily. Also, I’m not sure the Peterson quote is accurate. He did not say that you can declare a right for yourself and have others assume responsibility for providing you with something as a consequence. He did say that rights carry with them responsibilities. And that you have to be responsible for yourself.

GaryWitt comments on Dec 6, 2019:
Well, she’s right. The people of Hong Kong, mainland China (particularly the Uighurs), North Korea, Russia, and elsewhere are truly oppressed and deserve our full support. On the other hand, those who simply manufacture their own victimhood with pretense and false narratives provide ample justification for people to ignore them. So, for example, feminists who parade around in pink stocking caps but are silent on the issue of FGM do not deserve any respect.

Speech is simply a communication tool, no?
GaryWitt comments on Dec 2, 2019:
Please consider this as part of the context: Thoughts, or meaning, cannot be “transferred” through speech. You don’t actually transmit meaning. Your speech gives the symbols that allow the other person to create meaning. Whether the meaning created by that recipient of symbols is close to the meaning intended by the speaker depends on many variables, e.g., a common culture, precise definitions, shared experience, prior usage, and so forth. When people start corrupting the language (see Alice’s encounter with Humpty Dumpty), communication fails.

Half the people in America think you are wrong, and yet you don’t want to btalk about it ?
GaryWitt comments on Nov 25, 2019:
Active listening, starting with the presumption that the person with whom you are conversing has something of value to you that you should earnestly try to discover, is an extraordinarily difficult endeavor. Not just because of the effort needed on your own part, which can be considerable, but also because it requires some level of buy in by that other person. Try it, especially without that buy in by the other person.

GaryWitt comments on Nov 24, 2019:
In the Munch version the two lovers are united in a blur. Where does he end and she begin? They have no identity apart from one another. It’s almost frightening. In the Klimt version the woman is the focus. Her expression seems reticent but somehow pleased at the same time. She is the pursued and she seems happy in that role. Obviously I prefer the Klimt. It is more nuanced.
