Still one of the funniest philosophy anecdotes of all time

I notice none of Nikole Hannah-Jones' critics try to answer to the basic question she wrestled with, which is: Why should my daughter get to go to a better school than other people's kids just because I work for the New York Times?

TUCKER CARLSON ON ALGEBRA: THEN vs. NOW 2021: Laughing at the idea that algebra is a tool of white supremacy. “This idea that math is a white discipline is monumentally absurd.” 2026: Laughing and saying “That’s amazing” as his guest pushes the idea that algebra is a Jewish conspiracy to create “goy slaves.”

Tucker Carlson asks why algebra puts letters into numbers. Jess Elofson explains: "I think just to fuck with you." They discuss how they've never met anyone in their life who uses algebra, which is "fake math" for people "in the matrix." They conclude that caring about algebra is something that only "good little goy slaves" do.

Fun game, draw a random life out of what we know about the entire history of human population statistics. I died at six months old in Bronze Age Southeast Asia. anyhumanever.com/

Stop anthropomorphizing this human you're talking to, it's just a bunch of cells and electric current, it doesn't genuinely "want" things or have "beliefs."

My goodness Kmele Foster just absolutely dismantled Jemele Hill here. What an obliteration.

At the Proffesor Jason Arday vigil. Diane Abbott visually emotional racism within MSM is responsible for his death.

Bumble, the dating site founded on the idea of letting women initiate now allows men to make the first move because it's what their members' wanted. Not encouraging if your proposed solution to the lack of dating/relationships is women initiating more. theatlantic.com/family/2026/…

No engagement with the arrant lies, the massive plagiarism, the airy public addresses. Kendi thinks all of that is okay if you're Black (and have dreadlocks) and that Arday was still a legitimate academic seized upon because of his color. Kendi thinks Blackness exempts one from amassing data, drawing connections, and presenting novel insights. You're the real thing in just showing racism exists, despite that this is a rote exercise. We don't have to be actually smart, and in fact shouldn't (too "Western"). We are authentic in eternally "contesting." That take is deep if you (have dreadlocks and) changed your name to Kendi. Note that he seems not to have worked out at the Atlantic, and publishes this soapbox performance art somewhere you're a little surprised a public "intellectual" of his status would choose. I wish Arday were alive. But this take on Arday as lynched is performance art. American academia should hesitate to embrace it.
