Also he lost his life savings on weird mlm scams and limped back to DC comics to beg for work after they fired him for harassing a dude for being gay.

There is some overlap with his political "art" and his for-hire corporate output. Maybe there still is: he has to get money somewhere. The muppet wiki says he's done art for Warner and Disney too.

pookel posted:I'm pretty sure that ANY kind of education would be an improvement for the guy who wrote that. Do you know how Common Core math was devised? (1) There are a lot of women getting math degrees these days. Women need math degrees like fish need bicycles, but they need to get pushed through the program thorough a combination of intensive tutoring and lowered standards for ideological reasons. When they get those degrees, they are tracked to either become “educators” or HR and testing engineers at tech firms. As educators, they make educational policy while listening to the various ideological rants that the men who taught them math like to impress them with. I should know because I was one of those men. Lockhart’s Lament is very popular among this crowd. (2) These men show them various simple tricks to solve special cases of problems, both to impress them, and to get them to feel like they understand a proof of something or other so they can move on with their homework. They then write up these tricks into the curriculum, and say that the curriculum was designed by mathematicians. But mathematicians who go along with the Lockhart’s Lament thesis would design the curriculum that way anyway. The problem is that math is not like music, in that it will only ever be fun to a few people, and even fewer want to see performances of math. Therefore, it makes no sense at all to teach math the way music is taught in school, through play – but wait, music isn’t taught that way either, music is taught through constant drilling of pieces which are graded on accuracy. (3) The root of the problem is that mathematicians and scientists have entirely too high status in society, so that idiots want to pretend to be mathematicians and scientists, and other idiots are willing to go along with pretty much anything as long as some scientist or mathematician signs off on it being a good idea. And there are plenty of trained scientists or mathematicians willing to sign off on Common Core.

A good beating and then someone sitting him down across a table at a Denny's and explaining to him that he's not blessed with uncommon insight, he's just an rear end in a top hat. I'm thinking more 1990's Robert Deniro, but maybe Bill Murray would do the job too.

Bill Murray would probably be incredibly good at this specific task because I'm sure most of these guys love modern Bill Murray and his Bill Murray antics.

Their lonely childhood and frustrated younger adulthood. How much better everyone who doesn't hate women is having, and how little their idols really have. And their fully-avoidable lonely future as an unremembered pile of ashes. Then chain a spirit to them to slap them every time they think that they should be rewarded for holding a door open.

Peel posted:Bit of a weird direction ITT these last few posts. sure, the goal was to change stuff in order to fix the broken educational system and close the gap. And the stuff was changed along with the general consensus of the mathematical community, which was full of social signaling about how fun and beautiful math is and how drilling it in school is boring and not all that useful for people who will become mathematicians since they’ll drill it themselves slowly anyway. No one will say that students with high IQs should be filtered out of the general populace of the schools and given special classes in the fun conceptual stuff like the set theory and group theory that was tried on the kiddies last time math education was turned over to the mathematicians or whatever – that’s not just racist, it’s classist, and it’s the only way to get a high yield of great scientists, and it’s probably the reason the vaunted female Fields Medalist is a blue-eyed Iranian instead of a blue-eyed American.

leftism is to blame for The English Civil War The French Revolution, its subsequent madness and the suffering of millions during the Napoleonic Wars The carnage of the Taiping Rebellion The insanity of the American Civil War The justification of native oppression by ‘scientific’ racism The senseless slaughter of World War I and its rabid sequel The proxy wars of the phony Cold War period The morbid cruelty of the collectivist totalitarian regimes The vast and ongoing confiscation of privately-earned wealth by democratic socialist governments to engineer the welfare-warfare state. edit:Modern man has many delusions, some more pernicious than others. Surely one of the foggiest and most dangerous beliefs that pertain in our wretched age is that foundational doctrine of liberalism: that men have rights.

It's possible that, ironically enough, he is using the Marxist definition of ideology as false consciousness. It's also possible the statement is just ambiguously worded and should be read as (these) ideologies destroy civilization

I imagined the second option was what he was going for, but I've also read/seen people who really think they have no ideology while espousing this nonsense. Also, I just looked up what Pomp cited in the edit and... wow, I wish I was half as pretentious as this guy.

I do, in fact, favor moral chaos, in that I think many things that were traditionally dealt with by social structures can be sorted out by individuals for themselves, and only problems that induce power imbalances require structured responses. Any other kind of morality being enforced seems silly and arbitrary to my tiny leftist brain.

Sax Solo posted:Not really no. Ingress and Pokemon Go are made by the same company. Even the places of interest are the same; Niantic just took their database of "landmarks" from Ingress and relabeled them "gyms". Of course, considering that PokeGo and Ingress are similarly structured games—at least, going off my brother's description of what Ingress was like—they're effectively in direct competition with each other. PokeGo's monster popularity means Ingress probably has way fewer players now. What I'm saying is that Justine Tunney's idea of fun is being the strongest person in a ghost town.

Yeah I think that was her point, that she was smugly playing the ~different~ but exactly the same game because... I don't know, she thinks that makes her better than everyone else?
