1/8 There seem to be a lot of misconceptions re: Freemasons. It’s fascinating how instantly people jump on the bandwagon to hate them while crying “use discernment!” and “open your eyes and wake up!” - w/o applying the same principles of wisdom to this topic. Let’s explore…

@Skull_Oneix @HMBohemond Ha!! I used to work in tech and often in collab with the engineers. From time to time I would tell them that I’d found a bug so big it was demanding sugar water or practically wearing a Rufus suit, which to my chagrin only some of them got because I thought it was hilarious 🤣💁🏻‍♀️

The sheer number of times I was browbeaten for reading books as a kid by teachers can't be counted. It got so bad by high school that I almost gave up on reading entirely. I read at a college level in late elementary/early middle. "Those books aren't for you," they would tell me.

It’s true, every halfway intelligent right winger I know irl had a massive conflict with at least one elementary teacher over things like: reading ahead, reading too difficult books, not showing enough work, etc etc. it’s the first time we experience the uncaring tyranny of state bureaucracy and it sucks.

@FarmGirlRebecca @GrimnirsThegn My mom thought the Beowulf copy on hold at the lib was a mistake and told the librarians to pass it along. My 8th-gr self joined them at the counter just in time to protest “Mom, that’s mine!!” She’d planned to assign that late in hs, but wasn’t about to stop my early interest 😂

@GrimnirsThegn I had a very similar situation when I wanted to read Beowulf. It is like the teacher was personally offended that I wanted to read something more challenging than the Babysitter's Club kind of books. 🙄

In 3rd grade I wanted to read Three Musketeers because it was worth an entire semester of “reading points” and I didn’t want to have to keep picking books off their dumb list of “approved books”. I wanted to read Redwall instead. My teacher put up a huge fuss about how I was going to waste a bunch of time “reading” then fail the comprehension quiz because a 3rd grader could never understand a book that advanced. I got 100% on the quiz so of course she raised my semester threshold of “reading points” to keep me picking books off the list.

The issue is that our entire educational system (with this being merely one example) is designed to attempt to motivate the children with the least interest and capability to learn, and to that end it is specifically designed to slow down and impede the brighter, more intrinsically motivated learners so that everyone stays “on the same page”. We’ve sacrificed a generation of talent to try and ensure the lower quintile of society is literate, and even in doing so we haven’t succeeded because 28% of US adults are still below PIAAC literacy Level 1, indicating they have difficulty answering direct comprehension questions for even short, simple text passages.

@memeticsisyphus OMG THIS IS SO TRUE!!! I was homeschooled the whole way thru - *except* for most of my third grade year when I attended a private religious school, and I still have multiple strong memories of my teacher getting upset with me for all of the above.

@AHomelyHouse I would join the book club but your wife makes a fair point. Outrageous French accents makes us giggle and then the paintbrush shakes because we can’t hold it still 😜

My wife wants to do a book club/painting club with some of her friends who want to paint the Arthurian stories for their kids. She proposed I could read aloud (Thomas Malory) while the moms paint and the kids listen and play. I would have to promise not to do outrageous French accents, I suppose, which is one my wife's chief pet peeves about when I read aloud. tamburnmanor.com/arthuriad

🚨ZUL MOHAMED CONVICTED ON 106 FELONY VOTER FRAUD COUNTS IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF CARROLLTON TEXAS👇🏼 Zul Mohamed pleaded guilty to 106 felony charges for forging mail-in ballot applications without residents knowledge during his failed 2020 mayoral bid. He was convicted by a jury in Denton County and sentenced to prison time. Now this same man has his name on the ballot for the Carrollton mayoral election on May 2. Texas voters cannot seriously hand power to a convicted election fraudster who tried to steal votes. Real Texans do not reward crooks with public office. Texas better wake up fast before this total embarrassment becomes reality on election day. Texas..what are we doing? 📣

With all the woke bastardizations of literature-to-screen releases the past decade, I’m hesitant to desire more Tolkien content. That said, a Bugs Bunny version of LOTR where he plays an “evil volcano inspector” in a reimagining such as this would probably have been iconic. 😂

@whodamoose For example, I see few meaningful reference books that could be cited in school papers; my library has books ranging from extensive history or law/constitution commentary (incl the entire minutes of the Const. Convention) to enduring business strategies, rhetoric anthologies, etc

@whodamoose A few thoughts: how many of those classics have you personally read vs bought bc “they’re classic”? What on your bookshelf will your kids someday reach for (other than Henty, Lang, Narnia, or the occasional classic)?

As our library grows, it’s becoming more apparent that my utter lack of any organization is problematic. How do you guys sort your books? Feel free to roast my bookshelf arrangement in the comments 😅

@whodamoose Take every last one off the shelf, individually, and you’ll find yourself instinctively sorting them into piles as you do. Fiction (adult, children, classic, mythology/Lang), biography (by type), history, contemporary, self help, etc. Dust/oil your shelves before replacing! 😉

This is a fascinating commentary on why communism/socialism (Bolshevism) will always and ultimately fail.
Handre@Handre

Hayek destroyed socialism in 1945 with a single devastating insight: central planners cannot access the dispersed knowledge that makes an economy function. Every price carries information that no bureaucrat can replicate. When you see bread costs $3 instead of $2, that price signals scarcity, consumer preferences, production costs, transportation expenses, and thousands of other variables. The Soviet Union tried to replace this with 12 million bureaucrats setting 200,000 prices manually. They failed so spectacularly that people waited in breadlines while sitting on oil reserves larger than Saudi Arabia. The knowledge problem goes deeper than mere information gathering. Tacit knowledge—the kind you gain from actually doing something—cannot transfer through reports or surveys. A farmer knows when soil conditions change by feel. A factory worker spots quality issues through experience. A local shop owner understands customer patterns through daily interaction. Central planners in distant offices cannot acquire this knowledge, no matter how many forms they collect. Cuba presents the perfect modern case study. Sixty years of central planning has produced an economy smaller than New Hampshire despite having similar populations and vastly superior natural resources. Venezuelan planners destroyed the most oil-rich nation in the Western Hemisphere because they thought they could improve on market prices for currency, food, and fuel. Politicians promise they can plan better than millions of voluntary exchanges between people who actually know their circumstances. They cannot access the knowledge. They will not admit this limitation.

@WallStreetApes Well, that and the fact that most of it is probably no longer covered by EBT funds, which then begs the question of who was really eating sugary, overpriced junk to begin with? 🤨

"Looks like things are heating up in Ireland with truckers & bikers standing together against these crazy fuel prices. Careful and steady, mates – take zero chances. Keep it 100% peaceful all the way. Learn from our brave Canadian patriots who showed the world real resolve without crossing lines. Stay strong, stay smart. 🇮🇪🚛🏍️ #FuelProtest #Ireland"
