Youngsters today: Boys are defective girls.
It’s worth remembering also that blind and non-blind tests shows that female teachers deliberately tend to grade boys lower than girls. No other civilisation in history has ever handed over young males to resentful women for their formation, except ours. It’s a disaster.
“by four years of age, girls tend to think that boys are academically inferior to them…teachers often see their female students as academically superior…they see things this way even when aptitude tests show the opposite pattern for their classes.”
A lot of guys my age and older don’t realize how much the world has changed over the past 20 years. Young, talented white guys have been shut out of every institution in America and told their only hope for a future is clearing toilets for their new female and Third World overlords. Of course they should work every angle and do the best they can, but just telling them to just try harder is extremely tone-deaf.
If you think I’m overstating it, put together a fake resume as a young white guy with your exact credentials at that age, then apply to top-tier schools and jobs, and see how far you get.
I spent 30 years in academia. …
Toward the end, I was teaching “Gen Z.” These students combined ignorance with strident moral certainty. They seemed to have had no general education at all, and lacked the most basic knowledge of history, even recent history. They were immature and emotionally fragile.
Many could not handle criticism, no matter how sugar coated. It took very little to reduce them to tears — or to send them into a fit of narcissistic rage. They were shockingly bereft of intellectual curiosity, and many gave the impression of having no internal life at all.
I gave a lecture to medical students of this age cohort on diabetes treatment. In the course of it I said that the cachexia that patients exhibited made them look like concentration camp victims. I was reported to the Dean for triggering them and removed from the lecture pool.
I used to look around and think, how did we ever get here? To this incredible level of technology, prosperity, security that we enjoy. I mean, look at these people.
I knew it was the critical 1 percent or so of true innovators, inventors, another 5 percent or so of high-level leaders, entrepreneurs. 10 percent of diligent, competent managers, supervisors. And most of the rest doing their jobs. Most of the other 84 percent, minus 5 or 10 percent of layabouts, total shitbags, criminals. It worked.
Now I look around and think, how do we maintain this? Those percentages have shifted. Are the 10 percent who should be competent managers, supervisors, executing, making things happen, are they up to the task? In the 84 percent, what’s the layabout, criminal, parasitic, predatory percentage now? Even among that 5 percent of high-level leaders, entrepreneurs, how many have submitted to DEI nonsense … answer, about 95 percent … or have embraced assorted covid, gender, climate end-time bullshit?
The usual cautions with generalizations apply.
