Subtle symmetry. I like that in a work of art. And I was delighted to spot it in “Jason and the Arday-Nauts.” This is a hilarious live-action farce that’s been running in the Yookay for years. A blatant Blackademic bullshitter called Jason Arday has been feted and fawned over by British leftists. The leftists believed […]
The Jewish philosopher Nathan Cofnas has got it badly wrong. Very badly wrong. At his newsletter, he’s made this claim: “There are more than a thousand black people in the UK with IQs over 140 who would be capable of doing serious work in the sociology of education.” That’s woefully, world-historically off-target. C’mon, Cozza, you’ve […]
“Two Jews, three opinions.” That’s an old Jewish saying meant to capture the contrarianism of Jews. “We can never agree!” Jews chuckle. “We’re always arguing, already!” Yes, it’s an old saying, but it’s also a dishonest one. It deliberately implies that Jews are divided on everything from trivialities to fundamentals. They aren’t. When they disagree, […]
Dr William Pierce was a stale pale male who lived in West Virginia. Monika Kim is a vibrant Korean-American who lives in Los Angeles. What do they have in common? Very little, of course. Nevertheless, I thought of Pierce when I was reading Kim’s second novel. It was the title of the novel that caught […]
Andy Burnham will fail. That’s a very safe bet: the new British prime minister will fail. The only questions are how badly and how quickly he’ll fail. He’s like a naked man armed with a water-pistol and eager for battle with a grizzly bear, a saber-tooth tiger and a large swarm of killer-bees. In other […]
Homo symbolicus. I like that term. I like it a lot. Yes, not Homo sapiens, “Knowing Man,” but Homo symbolicus, “Symbolic Man.” That was a concise and clever suggestion by the Jewish philosopher Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945). We humans shouldn’t classify ourselves as sapients, but as symbolizers. After all, without symbols we lose sapience and sink […]
Martyr or meteor? Almost everything pointed towards martyr, but one fatal flaw will ensure that it’s meteor. That’s what I predict anyway. I’m talking about the murder of the secular saint Annabel Rook. Like the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, Ms Rook herself had everything that makes for a martyr in Clown-World. She was “compassionate […]
