When storms knock out power lines who will fix them?Are doctors going to be robots too?
I am a doctor. I am a robot. Lay off.
I was not singing the praises of programming, just wondering what company would hire AOC if she did learn.
Actually, the other day I came across this article that may be relevant to the education that she does have:
In that article the author notes how one academic laments that her blogging doesn’t count for scholarship, and she expressed her confusion over it, later writing:
Gildersleeve is unlikely to be supplanted by those who work on Pindar; in fact, it is impossible to read the poet in Greek without Gildersleeves assistance with Greek grammar, myth, genealogy and history. It struck me as odd to argue that his scholarship should be disregarded because of articles he wrote in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. There is nothing in his commentary (or his Latin grammar or work on Greek syntax) that comes even close to being racist. How can we not use him? Or is it fine to use anyone, even if they are racist, as long as they are not given any credit in the text?
I think the writer should look more deeply at what she herself wrote about the woman in question talking about her blog to answer her puzzlement.
She (the blogger) cited Guildersleeves newspaper articles the blogs of his day if you will as reason to give him the heave ho.
She is really being consistent. Her advocacy is what she views as her work. Being a classicist is not what shes about. Guildersleeves advocacy was apparently in her view his main importance and indeed it was improper of him to, per another speaker, start a society because for pretty much the same reason.
Recently I started a thread where a fellow commenting on an article in the American Spectator had been told by a neighbor to kill himself.
These scholars are advocating killing their fields of study.
Again, their advocacy should count and the Classics die.
Likewise the particular approach to Economics that AOC seems to have learned is one where the advocacy is what matters. Thus even if she knows economics she spouts far Left wing advocacy.
... and she sounds like a nitwit when she does.
