Totalitarian elitists are busy preparing the next generation for an ignorant walk down Stalin Street.

I knew you'd finally figure out what Trump really is. Good for you.

Post-irony

Whereas in postmodern irony something is meant to be cynically mocked and not taken seriously and in new sincerity something is meant to be taken seriously or "unironically", post-irony combines these two elements by either (i) having something absurd taken seriously or (ii) be unclear as to whether something is meant to be ironic.

I guess I really just intended to fuck with some people....

Science Must Fall?
In this video some 'fallist' explains that a witch doctor sending lightening to kill someone is just as valid as Newton's Law of Gravity. And then goes on to say this:

"Science as a whole is a product of Western modernity and the whole thing should be scratched off," the student declared Wednesday, to nervous laughter. She actually called for her fellows to "restart science from an African perspective, from our perspective."

Time to unland on the moon and unsell a shitload of laptops!

Science is racist? You’re just now figuring this out? It’s actually been GRAVITY throughout mankind’s history that’s kept the black man down, being felt most intensely along the equator (Africa), while Europeans and the ‘Great White North’ white folks escaped and got off lucky with their lower gravity ‘White Privilege ‘. Yes, white folks owe reparations to the black man for taking so little of the gravity, and making his life a gravitational Hell.

See, science is racist!

Um, actually, centrifugal force is strongest at the equator, thus offsetting gravitational attraction the most there. Good punchline, but you have to rework the set up.

He's not saying maths and science is racist, he's saying the history of them has been whitewashed. And he's right.

I don't see it. How?

Anyone know which former GB poster liked postmodern architecture? Lowercase pete.

He created a thread once about architecture and it seemed to me that he liked Brutalism and Deconstructivism architectural styles.

Seattle Central Library, which I've personally toured, is a wonderful example of Deconstructivism:

The postmodern irony... both architecture and music have a tight relationship with math and science.
