In this post I accuse Den Beste of either commiting intellectual seppuku or of exhibiting such raw contempt for his low information WEC base that it takes my breath away. He reposes in the perfect confidence that not a single one of his Hotair readers understands what teleology means.
Here is the same phony pithed populism exhibited by a FOX “news”caster.
And by Sarah Palin who sneers at “elites” while larding her “book” with phony Plato and Aristotle quotes in a craven attempt to appear intelligent and well-read.
The simple truth is that soi-disant conservatives reject science, materialism, and empirical data in favor of clinging to a status of outdated memes, anti-scientific teleological beliefs based on religious doctrine, and magical thinking.…..the ideological Party of Teleology.
That’s the world view of engineers and scientists — and businessmen, for that matter. It’s the world view of people who understand and use mathematics, and statistics. It is a place where cause leads to effect. It’s the place that game theory studies.
Sowwy, SDB but only 6% of scientists are republicans– only the “businessmen” are “conservatives”…and we certainly know that is in simple selfinterest and not through any attachment to principled “materialism.”
Either reform the core memes of conservatism, or give up on the college-educated vote like the GOP has been forced to give up on the black vote.
