David Warren on Following the Science

 “The claim that one is “following the science” is thus quite compatible with the fact that one is lying, and engaged in gratuitous deceit and fraud.”

Another Andis Kaulins Project

 My favorite thinker is Nicolás Gómez Dávila.  I have decided to devote a blog to him.  Here it is.  So far, it is a collection of my video readings of NGD's aphorisms with some commentary.

The Bullshit of Idealism

 Work, and genuine philosophical idleness, should be our answer to the bullshit of “idealism.” Make something real in the little time available to you; do not build fairy castles in the air … as the socialists, environmentalists, and other filth are doing.

Read it in context here.

David Warren on the End of Canada

 Sixty years ago, more or less precisely, Canada came to an end.

Scared of diversity?

 If diversity is harmonious, it is okay; but when diversity is fractious, it ain’t.

Lies

 What is worse?  The lies others tell you, or the lies you tell yourself?  The latter are probably more blatant, more diabolical.

My bald spot

 I can’t see my bald spot when I look in the mirror.  Yet, everyone who happens to see me, sees it.

A perfect metaphor.

David Warren on whether we should have electrical cars

 The idea that some government, especially the lunatic one that runs this country, should have an opinion about who should make what; let alone pass laws on the matter; or decide if it should be electrical, or must not use petrol; touches very near to the obscenity of liberalism and democracy. All democracy is tyranny, as we have known for a very long time.

Gun Control and Drag Queen Story Hours

 I saw this short clip of an encounter, I take it, between a woke gun control activist and a conservative.  Full of self-righteousness, the activist said that drag queen story hours never killed children. The activist then tried to pull a “a ha” by asking the conservative what the biggest cause of children’s deaths.  The conservative anticipated that the activist was going to say guns, but this only made the activist proclaim the proposition more righteously.

What was wrong with the activist’s argument?  For one thing, it was a non-sequiter. The activist would probably want to ban the saying of the Lord’s Prayer in the classroom, even though it can be said to have not killed anyone and at worst made some people feel uncomfortable.  And who’s to say drag queen story hours never hurt anyone or kill anyone?  And what is it that causes people to want to use guns on children?  

A world with gun control and drag queen story hours?  No thanks.  A world of free and responsible and normal men and women is as good as it can get in this fallen world.

It sure would be nice if we didn’t have to comb our hair

 I love the look of my hair after I have taken a shower, dried it with a towel and not combed it.  Then, my hair is wild & sexy with an unkempt tousledness: a style that a modern hair dresser would try on Brad Pitt.

Questions about the Left from el gato malo

 why is so much of the modern left constantly in alliance with the worst possible people and trends?

why do they champion only anti-social anti-heros?

why do they attack virtue, resilience, and any sort of rugged individualism?

why do they seek to break any sort of successful structure, high trust system, cultural or individual confidence, exceptionalism and function?

Lyrics II

 Who’s that girl? I really want to know!

She like’s to put doilies on everything!

Whether it’s an iPhone or a Vespa!

Give it to that girl!  Yeah yeah yeah!

Hey!  It’s under lace and you don’t want to scratch it!

Here’s what the A.I. thinks:

These lyrics have a playful, quirky energy—almost like something you’d hear in a fun, upbeat indie pop or bubblegum punk track. Here’s a quick breakdown:



Strengths:



  • Distinct personality: The “doily girl” character is vivid and unique. That image of someone putting lace on a Vespa or an iPhone is both humorous and memorable.
  • Catchy rhythm: The exclamations (“Yeah yeah yeah!”, “Hey!”) give it a chant-like, infectious quality that could work really well in a live setting or catchy chorus.
  • Strong visual imagery: Lace, doilies, scratched-up gadgets—it’s a very visual set of lyrics, which is great for music videos or stage aesthetics.




Suggestions:



  • Consistency in tone: The tone flips between curiosity (“Who’s that girl?”) and commands (“Give it to that girl!”). That contrast can work, but you might consider tightening it so the perspective (narrator vs. admirer vs. hype crew) is more clear.
  • Typo fix: “She like’s” should be “She likes.” (A small thing, but important for polish.)




Overall vibe:



It’s got a playful, offbeat, almost Harajuku-style charm to it. Think early Gwen Stefani, The B-52s, or even something from a quirky J-pop act. If you’re going for fun and fashion-forward with a bit of tongue-in-cheek sass, you’re on the right track.

Got to rock and roll! 1975!
