ESFP adrift in INTJ sea
And the rest:
Violence:
Up is more violent, and violence is down slightly in April. I was expecting it to go up, but I was also expecting Chauvin to be found not guilty. The state-media propaganda of “homegrown terrorism” drumbeat is ongoing, even as protester violence and inner-city violence is going through the roof.
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable. Instability dropped this month. I expect it to increase next month, but the Left keeps pushing for more control.
Economic:
I expected this number to be less positive. It’s not. As I predicted, April is the month that we find that inflation moves from a thought to a widely-felt reality. What’s next? It won’t be better.
Illegal Aliens:
This data is at record levels for this time of year. Comments from the Left? “There needs to be more.”
Leftists Destroy GATE
Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) is a pretty cool program. The idea is that smart kids can work on material that challenges them. That’s good. Really smart kids, when bored, cause a lot of problems. How else do you explain the Crusades?
But of course, the biggest problems in our country (sorry Aesop) seem to emanate from either D.C. or California. The newest push is an “equity” focused math program.
The framework draft starts with the biggest lie published in the English language in 2021:
“All students are capable of making these contributions and achieving these abilities at the highest levels,” and, “evidence that shows all fifth graders care capable of eventually learning calculus, or other high-level courses , when provided appropriate messaging teaching and support.”
No.
Not at all. And what the hell is “messaging teaching”? Sounds like a crack-addled mail-order diploma-mill Doctor Of Education (looking at you, Jill Biden) theory.
Inequality is rampant in the human condition. No matter how much I wish that I could be taller, I can’t think myself taller, and no amount of Social Justice Warrior Equity Cheerleading could make me taller.
No amount of teaching, even super-special “messaging teaching” can make me even a millimeter taller.
And no amount of teaching, even super-special “messaging teaching” can make a dumb kid smarter. You can make a Lamborghini® out of duct tape and cardboard, but the only way it’ll make 50 miles an hour is if you drop it out of an airplane.
My parents told me I was a gifted child. Turned out they meant that I was left on their doorstep in a box.
What this statement means is simple: smart kids, according to the educational establishment in California, don’t exist. They even say that explicitly: “We reject ideas of natural gifts and talents.”
Guess we’ll have to page Harrison Bergeron (LINK – read it if you haven’t – it’s short).
It’s trivial to prove that some people are talented and some are not – in fact, it’s fairly commonly known now that 60-90% of all of everyone’s attributes and abilities are inherited. Everyone. There is no mystical person who has attributes that are Play-Doh® in the hands of the schools or state. Is it nature or nurture?
It’s nature. Nurture can mess it up. Nurture can get the best out of what’s there. But you can’t get a ribeye steak out of a cat.
This denial of reality is 100% required by the Left, however. The idea of anything be unequal is an idea they cannot accept, even when it’s real, which is why untrained women have to win fights against Navy Seals in movies, and why Leftists pretend that Caitlyn Jenner ain’t a dude.
