And in Non News

Duncan's head cheese hoard is showing it's as illiterate as ever.  As if Sims and Tlaz have ever read a single piece of theology in their so called lives of the mind.   There's a reason that I noted that simple writing was for simple minds who never face a challenge to their preconceived attitudes and preferences.  

Scientism is the religion of the pig-ignorant, though I've encountered more intelligent pigs.  I don't think the ones I've seen would swallow anything whole or reject it without at least inspecting it first. 

Update:  And now Sims is again championing the Nazi collaborator, Gertrude Stein.  A woman who wrote hundreds of thousands of words, saying nothing.

Get back to me when you come up with something as good as "There's no there there."

Her magnum opus. Something tells me you never actually read one of her books. But, then, why should your common received erudition on Gertrude Stein be any different than your common received erudition on any other topic, based securely in standards that would have the approval of Lady Bracknell

“I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever.”

The Eschaton head cheese trust can be counted on to not to risk any of the regulars tampering with natural ignorance.   Duncan bans anyone who risks that.   I wonder where Ralphie went.
