So far tens of millions of Americans can understand Ahab. They have worked under such men. A smaller but not insignificant number have gone through his experiences. The Diesel engine and now atomic energy face the vast majority with the same problem that he faced: the obvious, immense, the fearful mechanical power of an industrial civilization which is now advancing by incredible leaps and bringing at the same time the mechanization and destruction of human personality. Men who are thinking like that, classes of people in a nation who are thinking such thoughts, are being steadily prepared for desperate action. If now there descends upon them a violent catastrophe that ruins them and convinces them that the life they have been living is intolerable and the grave doubts that have previously tormented them are justifiable, then they are going to throw aside all the traditional restraints of civilization. They are going to seek a new theory of society and a program of action and, on the basis of this theory and this program, they are going to act.

A fantastic takedown of Thomas Sowell's writings, logic, and ideology.

A worthwhile watch - a little lengthy at 2.5 hours though - but he has a lot of work to get through.

I am drunk posting now, but the number of rap and hip-hop outfits that have been entirely funded by drug operations is absolutely outstanding! The fact is, just like the number of discotheque joints that were impart, supported by mafia and mob, oriented business people, the origins of hip-hop are tied to drug crime in a way that makesthe inherent street music of it that much more profound!

applying for jobs seems to mostly consist of lying and submitting to indignities, which is whatever. but it is very difficult for me to override my innate instinct that anyone demanding i write a cover letter has insulted me so greatly that the only way to retain my honor is violence
