The peak woke thread (Part 2)

That was all early 90s, though. Gen X music. I was referring to late 90s to 00s post-grunge - Millennial music, nu-metal and the new kind of pop bubblegum that started with Britney and led to Taylor. There’s a definite line, just as there was between early 70s boomers and late 70s New Wave punks.

I like The Killers. Wasn’t that late 90s?

I have to admit, that’s exactly when I stopped listening to the radio. Though I’m millennial, but an outlier (definitely too young for GenX, in ways too old to be a Millennial)

That’s when I really got into techno. I missed anything after that cutoff until recent years now that it’s so easy to dig stuff up. I think of the years before as the Beavis and Butthead years… that was a key pathway to new music for me around here.

A fairly long, well-told first-hand account of the woke insanity running rampant in Canadian bureaucracy.

Canada has been marching pretty steadily down this path for over a decade. I don’t have much respect for civil servants generally, but I was downright disgusted by how deep the universities have gone in on this.

Why did it take four years to debunk the black baby study? - UnHerd

black newborns aren’t dying at higher rates when they’re treated by white doctors.

I should hope not!

This time around, the researchers added one key variable that the 2020 researchers had overlooked — low birth weights — and the whole thing collapsed. The research design contained a fatal flaw, overlooking the fact that severely underweight babies, who have very high mortality rates to start with, tend to be treated by white doctors. Physicians who handle the most serious medical cases tend to see higher death rates.

How could two teams of researchers look at the same data … and reach diametrically opposite conclusions?

This is a key problem in general.

Humans be feeling it, yo.

If I have to guess what you mean then, yes, this is part of being human. However, the scientific method has been around for a fair few centuries. I know you are a big fan of philosophizers, but those French chaps really disenlightened matters.

Oddly, being unreasonable is rational. We’ve been dipping toes in the post modernist pool for decades and now I think people are doing cannonballs into the deep end in the dark.

It’s working itself out now, but some of the knots will be hard to undo. Counting should be easy tho. Like the Biden crime stats that are being misread on purpose . :whistle:

And dead babies. :baby:

Teachers are said to be supporting the youngster

But of course they are. Half the teachers are as mad as the kids.

The younger teachers will have been indoctrinated. The older teachers will be keeping their mouths shut.

It’s incredible. So much insanity created by a bunch of French philosophizers.

Francis replied by saying the Church was female, noting that the Italian word for it, “chiesa”, is a feminine noun.

“A woman within the People of God is a daughter, a sister, a mother,” he said, adding “womanhood speaks to us of fruitful welcome, nurturing and life-giving dedication”.

He did not give any details about potential plans for reform.

The university statement called the pope’s position on women’s roles in society “deterministic and reductive”.

“We are really shocked,” said Valentine Hendrix, a 22-year-old student. “He reduces us to a role of childbearer, mother, wife, everything we want to emancipate ourselves from.”

Hard to tell if these people are simply stupid, or so fired up on bitter indignation that they’re misrepresenting what he said. Not a fan of the Pope or Catholicism, but I see nothing wrong with his answer. If people don’t like it, the obvious answer is to sign up with a secular religion that accords with their beliefs, instead of demanding the Church must change.
