You can't kill the hare’s instinct to reproduce

Whether we are a tree, a cockroach, a horse or a human being, we exist because we are made of DNA molecules inside of which is written a set of instructions on how to reproduce.

Another set of instructions prompts us to grow and learn as individuals. And when grown, the same set tells us how to teach our offspring the realities of life so that they too can grow and reproduce. And so it goes generation after generation.

This is what maintains and perpetuates life on Planet Earth, allowing us to evolve as individuals, whomever we are; and evolve as species, whatever we are. You can suppress the normal activities of individuals or kill them. You can even achieve some success at exterminating a species such as a strain of deadly organisms, but you cannot kill the instinct to learn or reproduce in any of us.

It is important to keep this in mind when confronted by people who want us to ignore what our eyes show us, and our ears confirm to us. These people want us to pretend that what's there isn't there, an attitude that goes against what DNA has instilled into us. In fact, these people want us to instantly unlearn what our senses allow us to absorb as food for thought. They also want us to retain nothing but the dogmas they feed us by some kind of cultural intravenous concoction.

You can see and study an example of these notions, and how they are made to work on human individuals, when you go over an article that came under the title: “PC insanity may mean the end of American universities,” written by Roger Kimball and published on May 31, 2019 in The New York Post.

The author, Roger Kimball, quotes four people: Sir Roger Scruton, Allen Farrington, Bret Weinstein and Herb Stein––the last two being Jews––to make the point that something has gone wrong with academia. Of the choices that can be made to correct the situation, he prefers the one that would get rid of the faculties which deal with the humanities, while keeping those that deal with Science and Engineering. He explains that this is a better choice than the alternatives –– suggested by other litigants –– such as “start competing institutions, outside the academic establishment” or “get rid of the universities altogether”.

A question: What's phony about Roger Kimball's presentation? It is that he ignored the Jewish factor which, in the past, has contributed 100 percent of the troubles he is complaining about. What's more, it continues to contribute as much as 99 percent of the troubles even today. And then, to suggest a solution, Kimball turned around and highlighted the opinions of four people, half of them Jews, on what to do. This is like asking a couple of rapists how to protect victims of rape from their assailants.

Roger Kimball agrees with Sir Roger Scruton that the major problem facing higher education today is that, “The humanities have devolved into cesspools of identity politics and grievance studies at most colleges and universities.” Well, if before they open their mouths again, the two Rogers would take the trouble to research the subject they are fond of talking about, they'll find that identity politics started half a century ago when the Jews threatened to sue anyone who would stand in the way of them “educating the public” on the sensitivities of Jews.

The Jews won that battle at the time, and had things done their way. They were allowed to “educate” the public, and the education has continued to this day. However, the way that things happen now, is that the Jewish students noisily barge-in on non-Jewish students who quietly study for the exam, in a corner of the university campus. The Jews scream, saying things like: “We are Jews, we have a Holocaust story to tell, and we're here to tell it to you. Drop what you're doing and listen to what we have to say.” That's how and when trouble begins, and the Jews blame the ugly outcomes that ensue on the non-Jews.

And when it is recess time, and the non-Jewish students go home for a few days, they discover that Jewish agents of the propaganda machine were out in force, trying to convince the government and their parents, that they should let the Jewish organizations take charge of the system of education from kindergarten to college. The Jewish goal is to indoctrinate their little brothers and sisters on subjects that relate to the Holocaust, and how these subjects, factor into the sensitivities of Jews. It is that these people never stop playing identity politics.

Roger Kimball fantasizes that “in the coming decade, we'll see liberal-arts colleges close, and see the rise of alternatives to traditional colleges,” having convinced himself it will happen. Maybe it will. But Kimball also thinks of himself as an expert in the historical development of cultures. If true, he must be seeing a great deal of resemblance between the grotesqueness of the 16th- and 17th-century Baroque era, and what's happening today.

Given that Baroque has fed on the cultural profuseness of the Renaissance that preceded it, and then served as food for thought to the Classical era that followed it, Kimball should have no trouble seeing that if we're going through a new Baroque era, we should expect that thanks to the “ugly” cultural fat that's being produced today, the upcoming classical era will have more than enough food for thought on which to feed and prevail.

An Age of Reason should then grow out of all this and dominate the intellectual landscape for a long time after that. Roger Kimball should rejoice, even celebrate.
