Emphasis mine: “The belief that processes which are consciously directed are necessarily superior to any spontaneous process is an unfounded superstition.”

Public Educators Are getting Paid to Bully us and Shut us Down?
In case you missed it: E Michelle Holt-Shannon, director of NH Listens at The Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH, moderator of the August 19th DEI-J meeting at Exeter High opened the meeting by threatening to call the police on attendees.
Heavily Subsidised Sloth vs. Free Market ‘Price Signals’
Price Point – not only is it a signal of relative value in which the producer thinks what an offer is worth but also signals back to the producer what the consumer thinks about it (too high, or too low).
Sing Along! “It’s a Woke World, After All…”
Both funny and sad at the same time. The fact that somebody put a lot of time into creating and animating this woke version of Disney’s “It’s a Small World After All” (and the actual ride has been “evolved” to be more SJW/PC safe for the perpetually offended snowflakes) says a lot about our society.
Data Point – Olympic Medals by Sport and Age
I have to admit that I’ve lost interest in the Olympics. Especially this year as there were those US Athletes that were so self-absorbed as to think that WE have to listen to THEIR diatribes if they were to medal and get up on the podium. We want to praise them for their determination and … Read more
I Guess Biden Doesn’t Care about the Constitutions Admonition to “Faithfully Execute the Laws”
Just like this nitwit: NH State Rep. Sandra Keans (R, now D): “I don’t try to justify anything by the Constitution, it’s not my job and I don’t want to do it”. Actually, it is – we are ALL bound by the strictures of the US Constitution ESPECIALLY if one is the President. However, as … Read more
Friday Open Thread – Biden doesn’t believe Americans matter
We’ve all seen the news on what utter Schmucks our American leaders are given their responses to the Taliban taking back Afghanistan. And such SURPRISE that these illiterate, mountain living religious fanatics could beat the reigning Superpower (making it the third – Russia and Britain being the other two) with improvised IEDs, a few technicals, … Read more
To Damien Fisher at NH Journal, The “Listening Sessions” Are as Much a Problem as the Schools Districts’ DIE Activities
DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity) are the Three Horsemen of Critical Race Theory. And Academic rigor, for which we pay our now REALLY uppity Education staffs, is dying for all of this indoctrination.
Don’t Use the Language of the Left
Don’t use the language of the left. It just emboldens them and makes us lose: “Today, on the political left, we’re making up new norms all the time: calling people “Latinx,” announcing our pronouns, capitalizing ‘Black.’ “
The New Collectivism: Mandatory Participation in The Mental Illness of Others
There’s a new definition for collectivism. ‘Wokeness Means Forcing Everyone To Live Inside The Prison Of Mental Illness.’ Yeah, I’m enjoying this “free” sample of Cultural Marxism.
Whatever, Your Girlfriend Has 67 Protons!
I like a good pun, play on words, or a good turn of phrase. I used to run a VAXnotes instance called Repartee where Digital Equipment Corp employees could chime in witty and pithy lines trying to outdo the other. I will have to say, this one is rather top-notch – and coming from a high schooler:
CRT – Debate Points against CRT in Schools – Stack of Stuff Part 17
It’s been a while (back on July 12) since I tried to unpack my Stack of Tabs I collect as I’m surfing around to see what piques my interest (yeah, I’m a bit overboard on this “collection schtick” – probably about 500-600 tabs easy). So, time to restart!
NH Bureau of Tourism Hates On the NH Motto – AGAIN!
UPDATE: I mentioned DJ Bettencourt at the end of this post – he had helped to fix this problem before, saw this post, and emailed back (emphasis mine):
Notable Quote – The “Civil War” Between the GOPe and the Base
Commenter Alex at Ann Althouse has this to say. He’s not wrong, you know:
Belknap County Republican Committee – Parts 2 & 3 of NH Commissioner of Education Frank Edelblut’s address
Continuing on from NH Commissioner of Education Frank Edelblut’s address to the Belknap County Republicans, here is the rest of the address: Part 2: Part 3: And next is the 5 part Q&A session – it is clear that the Republicans in Belknap County want to know how to pushback on the … Read more
Why Do Conservatives Believe That Trust in Government and Media Is Worthless?
OK, a long-form post from ThreadReader rolled-up from tweets made by MartyrMade. (He has other rolled-up threads here). So here it is in full. It did resonate with me and I think with many others.
“When Identity Politics, CRT, and Feminism Get Together”
Sooner or later, the Left starts eating its own. Both the worst and the best thing that the Left has been is Totalitarian. A sense of unrealized Comedy material there for the taking, things that just “don’t agree” that CAN be used against them.
Data Point – Media Continues to Drive Its Customers Away
It’s one thing to be us – GraniteGrok – as we’ve made it clear who we are. That we write from our outlook on life as and for Conservatarians. Other media sites still spell a message that they are “objective.” “You should Trust us. We’re not like the others.” But they are and people aren’t buying it.
If You Want the Poor to be Richer, Socialism Can’t do That!
Do you want to be in charge of your own economic choices, or are you in favor of others making those choices without your input? That’s really what’s at stake and what Friedman points out here.
