The neo-Nazi Hungary allies itself with the neo-Nazi Putin. Big surprise.

Food stamps fuel entrepreneurship: “Harvard Business School professor Gareth Olds shows that access to welfare has a positive and dramatic impact upon entrepreneurship, and that people who become eligible for some form of government benefit are much more likely to become entrepreneurs than those who do not.” Food stamps is a great program that needs to be expanded.

“Going on the market before you are done with dissertation may be a wise move,” informs us Inside Higher Ed. As if PhD candidates haven’t been doing that forever. I’m beyond annoyed with these inane articles that give vapid advice and attempting to solve non-existent problems.

A really stupid pronouncement from someone who seems to consider himself some sort of an expert on the issue: “Women’s wages aren’t pushed down by employers who hire women but by employers who don’t hire women.” It always stuns me to see people who are so blatantly stupid.

I completely and passionately support gender equality but this article is just too stupid. Sorry, it isn’t my fault there are so many idiotic pieces in this week’s collection.

“It amazes me that supposed experts in critical theory, textual analysis and semiotics cannot for the life of them recognize the use and societal relevance of large-scale allegory and metaphor in works of sf or YA.” Social relevance doesn’t make a text a work of art, that’s the problem. A political manifesto might be extremely useful and super relevant but it isn’t necessarily a work of art.

In Spanish. A hilarious scandal surrounding writer Javier Cercas. I’ve been meaning to write about it at length but haven’t had the time yet.

A very sad example of how people justify the abuse of children because they can’t find the courage to condemn the abuse they suffered in their childhood. As can be expected, the long text is peppered with fantasies of eventually becoming an abuser. This isn’t surprising but it is extremely sad.

Prepaid restaurant meals: is this a trend of the future?

“A study [PDF] published in a journal of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence found that sites that have a “downvote” button to punish bad comments lock the downvoted users into spirals of ever-more-prolific, ever-lower-quality posting due to a perception of having been martyred by the downvoters.” People should get a life immediately.

“There’s a reason that “Social Justice Warrior” has become a pejorative. It’s not just the Right attempting to besmirch the name. No, these people do it just fine all by themselves. This is not a cohesive social movement; this is a bunch of whining babies attempting to one-up one another in the Oppression Olympics and having contests to see who can call out someone the fastest. If the Left wants the win the culture wars, it’s going to have to do better than that.” So true.

“I may be a middle-aged white man, but I’m not an idiot. . . It seems that, in doing away with patriarchal authority, we have also, perhaps unwittingly, killed off all the grown-ups.” Yes, buddy, you are right, you are not an idiot. You are a total fucking brainless idiot. That’s an important distinction.

I read a stupid and boring article making a stupid and boring point that “progress ain’t that grand” and decided to look up the author. I was not in the least surprised to discover that the stupid fellow has tenure in Alberta.

“When I was a kid in Florida (where it is very fucking hot), it was not at all unusual to see a woman in a bikini top in the grocery store in high summer. Now it never really happens. No one thought anything of it then, but now it’d be a scandal.” The reason why I personally don’t want to see people in swimming attire in a store is not because of prudishness but because I hate to see life robbed of its richness.

“Long-term use of anti-anxiety and insomnia drugs may dramatically increase the odds of developing Alzheimer’s.”

“Despite embracing technology more than their elders, the study found that millennials were more likely to have read a book, either in digital form or on dead trees, in the past year than Americans over 30. Even more surprising is the fact that more young people believe there is important information that can’t be found on the Internet than their forebears.”

  1. Regarding millennials, don’t younger people tend to read more than people over 30? The relevant comparison would have been between millennials and their parents’ reading habits at the same age.

    \\ Even more surprising is the fact that more young people believe there is important information that can’t be found on the Internet than their forebears.

    I think it’s the opposite of surprising, in a way. If you are unsure around computers, you may view them as ‘magical’ VS. knowing the strong and the weak sides of computers and Internet.

    On another topic, have you heard about “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Shaffer? I haven’t read it, but it seems to be pretty good and you said you liked epistolary novels. Another modern epistolary novel, which I also haven’t read, is “Letters from Skye” by Jessica Brockmole. Haven’t heard anything about it, except seeing it by chance at the local library.

    I think the main problem is that American society has never been mature, and perhaps neither has Australian society. I do think British society has a strong core of maturity. But many societies are simply too young. And part of the symptoms of immaturity is to constantly produce extremely trite solutions to complex problems, like the solution that original author seems to be proposing above.

      1. Well traditional patriarchy was a division of labor, fundamentally. That meant that men did the mental work and women did the emotional work (one could choose other ways to depict the schematization, but this one will do). The effect of this division of labor was that neither the man nor the woman grew up into full adulthood. The man may have been very disciplined and rule abiding, but his emotional maturity would not have developed, necessarily, beyond a very early childhood stage. And the woman, who supposedly ruled in the realm of emotions was also ruled BY her emotions, and hence not that mature either.

        A correct analysis of patriarchy indicates therefore that it was a strategy for maintaining economic survival, which extracted a tremendous cost in that neither men nor women could ever become a whole person — that is, they were structurally prevented from becoming mature.

    The condition of contemporary leftism is that it insists on immaturity as the only form of political ihnocence acceptable to it. But then it has to deal with the consequences of immaturity, which is that people around them express borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder as direct expressions of their immaturity. (These are modes of handling the world when one is in an immature state.) Consequently, cultural leftism is bogged down dealing with its own basket cases, and never rises to the level of political activism or political critique.

  7. I just met a Catalan nationalist (not from Catalonia itself) who was otherwise a very pleasant and nice person. I asked if he was worried that Catalan independence would weaken the language where he is (where it has more bureaucratic than popular support) and he said that’s a real issue but hopes that ‘somehow’ Catalonia would be able to help if people on the ground become less enthusiastic about it.

    Later, when he was talking about the Euro and how Poland should not adopt it (something I harangue everyone I can about every chance I get) I was starting to get the idea that the whole independence movement has morphed into a plan to escape the euro…. in which case it just might be worth it.

  8. Prepaid restaurant meals …

    We have a version of this that works much better without so much animosity about sitting around in a seat “too long”.

    If you’re eating in, VAT is assessed at 20%.

    If you’re taking away, typically no VAT is assessed at all.

    I feel that with this, you really are paying for your seat.

    Many restaurants handle both types of customers, but it’s clear that some of them are short on seated customers and should probably convert their facilities to a pure takeaway/delivery service.

    Some “restaurants” in London actually make do with renting a kitchen space from a larger restaurant so they can focus on lower prices and delivery-only service …

    Also, there isn’t quite as much of an issue with eating in public, although I do tend to get some odd looks when I wolf down three Krispy Kreme doughnuts in rapid succession in order to deal with sudden onset of hypoglycaemia, usually brought on by delaying lunch too long. I tend to make this worse by saying to complete strangers, “Look, it’s a fat pill, watch this”, just before consuming an entire doughnut with a single bite. 🙂

    BTW, the best place to do this is at Canary Wharf, where the bankster scum aren’t used to people doing such odd things. 🙂

    From comments – interesting idea:

    ” Perhaps the Arab States and Israel are working together precisely because of our absence? Back when we were heavily involved in the Middle East, the Arab States had their cake and ate it too: they could simultaneously enjoy U.S. protection and bash Israel. Now that we’re reluctant to get involved, the Arab States are panicking and suddenly see Israel in a new light: as a potentially useful ally against Iran and Islamic extremists. Hence, contrary to the recommendation of this article, we should continue to stay out and let regional powers sort out the problems in their own neighborhood. “

  20. I was looking at a list of books that won the Man Booker Prize and saw this:

    “A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian” by Marina Lewycka

    QUOTE FROM AMAZON

    The premise of Lewycka’s debut novel is classic Viagra comedy: a middle-aged professor’s aging and widowed father announces he intends to marry a blonde, big-breasted 30-something woman he has met at the local Ukrainian Social Club in the English town where he lives, north of London. It is clear to Nadezhda and her sister, Vera, that the femme fatale Valentina is only after Western luxuries—certainly not genuine love of any kind. Smitten with the ambitious hussy, their father forges ahead to help Valentina settle in England, spending what little pension he has buying her cars and household appliances and even financing her cosmetic surgery. In the meantime, Nadezhda, a socialist, and Vera, a proud capitalist, confront the longstanding ill will between them as they try to save their father from his folly. Predictable and sometimes repetitive hilarity ensues. But then Lewycka’s comic narrative changes tone. Nadezhda, who has never known much about her parents’ history, pieces it together with her sister and learns that there is more to her cartoonish father than she once believed. “I had thought this story was going to be a knockabout farce, but now I see it is developing into a knockabout tragedy,” Nadezhda says at one point, and though she is referring to Valentina, she might also be describing this unusual and poignant novel.

  21. Other two books which caught my interest:

    1. “On Canaan’s Side” by Sebastian Barry

    ‘As they used to say in Ireland, the devil only comes into good things.’

    Narrated by Lilly Bere, On Canaan’s Side opens as she mourns the loss of her grandson, Bill. The story then goes back to the moment she was forced to flee Sligo, at the end of the First World War, and follows her life through into the new world of America, a world filled with both hope and danger.

    2. “The Soldier’s Return” by Melvyn Bragg

    Unsentimental, truthful and wonderful’ Independent Books of the Year

    When Sam Richardson returns in 1946 from the ‘Forgotten War’ in Burma to Wigton in Cumbria, he finds the town little changed. But the war has changed him, broadening his horizons as well as leaving him with traumatic memories. In addition, his six-year-old son now barely remembers him, and his wife has gained a sense of independence from her wartime jobs. As all three strive to adjust, the bonds of loyalty and love are stretched to breaking point in this taut, and profoundly moving novel.

  24. \\ I hope that Israeli government uses this opportunity to collaborate with Hamas

    Are you serious that Israel should and can do so? 🙂

    Israel couldn’t care less about IS, but cares a great deal about preserving the status quo with Palestinians. Most Israelis think it’s either status quo OR giving land and getting worse attacks than before from the new extreme state. Thus, from Israel’s pov, Hamas must stay in power, but not become too powerful.

    If one analyzes the situation from position of naked cold interests, I wouldn’t be surprised if having IS as a scarecrow for the West and parts of the East is a great benefit for Israel. If IS attacks and weakens Israeli enemies such as Hizbullah and Hamas, it’s another bonus.

    A recent article:

    “[Some] have said Hamas wants to create an Islamic emirate in Gaza,” says senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar tells Palestinian news outlet Al-Ayyam. “We won’t do that, but we will build an Islamic state in Palestine, all of Palestine.”
    […] implying a war in which Israel is wiped out.

    In August, it was released for publication that the Shin Bet security agency uncovered a Hamas plot to topple the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Hamas then claimed it was an Israeli ploy to disrupt the recently struck Palestinian unity deal.

    ” other radical Salafi organizations have existed in the Strip for years – operating with the same intent as the Islamic State. […] Hamas has maintained a close watch over these groups who see the Strip’s rulers as “too liberal and moderate” and have tried to topple the established terror organization. ”

    It’s nothing new. I would also guess that the more extreme elements in Hamas agree with many goals of other terror organizations, even if they want their owm org – Hamas – to stay in power.

    Listen to ISIS’s self-declared caliph,Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi […] Now listen to Khaled Meshaal, the leader of Hamas. He proclaims a similar vision of the future […] As Hamas’s charter makes clear, Hamas’s immediate goal is to destroy Israel. But Hamas has a broader objective. They also want a caliphate. Hamas shares the global ambitions of its fellow militant Islamists.

    That’s why its supporters wildly cheered in the streets of Gaza as thousands of Americans were murdered on 9/11. And that’s why its leaders condemned the United States for killing Osama Bin Laden, whom they praised as a holy warrior.

    So when it comes to their ultimate goals, Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas.
    And what they share in common, all militant Islamists share in common: […] “

    I don’t know what is the academic answer. May be, it even can’t be purely academic, without connection to politics. I googled and found the publications of

    http://en.idi.org.il/about-idi/idi-staff/management/yedidia-z-stern/

    If you look at Publications, you can find:

    ” The Jewishness of Israel.
    Prominent Israeli thinkers discuss the unique and enigmatic nature of the State of Israel, which is at the same time a modern Western state with roots in classical Jewish culture and tradition, a nation-state with a large national minority, and a Jewish state whose citizens cannot reach a consensus on their common denominator.”

    If you look at Articles, you can see:

    ” The Blessing of Diversity versus the Curse of Multiplicity
    December 2, 2009 | Yedidia Z. Stern,
    In an article in the Hebrew journal Eretz Acheret, IDI Vice President Yedidia Stern discusses the tension between two civilizations – western-liberal and traditional-Jewish – in Israel, and asserts that the agents of influence in Israeli society prefer to present these two values as mutually exclusive alternatives that are set up for a culture war.
    To read the full article published in Eretz Acheret, click here.”

    In general, he has articles about Jews/Arabs in Israel, Haredi, etc. I think you will be interested in:

    “Our False Apprehensions
