You can add up Prussian education, Marxism, Hatesongs Against England, Freudianism, Hitlerism, Marcuse, the Frankfurt School, and Atari Teenage Riot and tie them up into a neat bundle, but Robert Owen, Keynes, FDR*, and the guy who wrote <i>Looking Backward</i> always take the cake where evil is concerned. <br /><br />Why? I don't know. It may be because of subtle (and impeccably Anglo-Saxon) sense that you shouldn't blame the country that lost all the World Wars. "When you've got your fellow on the mat...."<br /><br />Having had my mind trodden upon by a dwarf for thirteen years in government schoolrooms, I'm inclined to blame Prussian education for almost everything. But that is my bias and I am aware of it. I don't believe Moldbug is aware of his bias. There is a sort of ideological justification for it: Moldbug has a soft spot for anarchism (though he notes it "doesn't scale, militarily"), and anarchism is much more heavily featured among continental than Anglo-American revolutionisms. <br /><br />* I personally hate FDR's guts, dead though they may be.

He thought Marx had no merit as an economist, and had little regard for the Soviet Union (part of which he attributes to "some beastliness in the Russian nature — or in the Russian and Jewish natures when, as now, they are allied"). He was a eugenicist, and nowadays would be indicted for racist & anti-semitic attitudes. His most famous book had a special foreword in its German edition, noting that its policies would be easier to adopt in a totalitarian state (and Germany's recovery under Hitler is sometimes cited by Keynesians as evidence for the theory's merits). Equating Bloomsbury with Frankfurt is bullshit.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-69210522954045745752012-10-04T05:05:19.714-07:002012-10-04T05:05:19.714-07:00Who will step up now?

We were told that David Suzuki had shown these to be so, having conclusively beaten Rushton in a big debate.<br /><br />Only this year did I finally see this debate:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9FGHtfnYWY<br /><br />Rushton did nothing but tell the truth, while Suzuki did nothing but lie, demagogue, shame, guilt, threaten, misdirect & obfuscate.<br /><br />Today, Suzuki is a Canadian hero. And Rushton has left us.

My initial reaction to his ideas was largely indifference. Then, as now, I felt he was trying to force-fit his data into a unified theory of everything.<br /><br />My perception of him really changed in 1989 when the premier of Ontario, David Peterson, called on Western University to fire Rushton. When the university refused, the Attorney General of Ontario instructed the Ontario Provincial Police to investigate Rushton.<br /><br />I couldn't believe this sort of thing was happening in my country and in "the free world." After several months, the investigation was dropped ... because he had done nothing wrong. But there never was any apology. And the "chill effect" on Canadian academia was profound.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about his death. He'll be remembered as a voice in the wilderness.
