Prof. Wax spoke today at AEI and I was just watching her presentation

It’s really scary. We can talk about “winning” all we want, but it is clear that academia is brainwashing its charges. Yesterday’s parody become today’s reality. I think the only answer is to stop Federal student loans immediately, and let the market take care of it.
Funny you should post this now. It’s sort of like you are thinking of something, and the next thing you know, someone else mentions it. Must be the cosmic lattice of coincidence.
“cosmic lattice of coincidence”
A great line. Thanks. I will borrow it sometimes. You’ll really know it’s part of the “cosmic lattice of synchronicity” when that line comes back to you in some comment from someone else in the future.
Thanks for the link. Watching now (10 minutes into the 1 hour + presentation). BUMP!
BNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKK!
Thanks for playing.
“A lot of people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, “plate,” or “shrimp,” or “plate of shrimp” out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.”
Go to the Hillsdale College site & find her entire speech in the latest issue of Imprimis. Yes, lots of leftwing fascism in academia; half of her colleagues signed a letter denouncing her for finding good things to say about the 1950’s just because there was segregation then.
But her writing made other profs go all crinkly toes & bleat that what she said ruined their entire summer, poor snowflakes.
It’s a culture war but now the conservative side has a fighting chance it didn’t have fifty years ago.
THANK you for a great article! Please repost it in 24 hours. THis needs to circulate, but we’re all chasing the HOGG KID, in Florida, and doing recipes. GHACK!
HOORAY Amy Wax! Very good.
