the opposite of garbage in garbage out cabbage in coleslaw out posted by gruntled at 9 25 am no comments sunday november 15 2020 there is no necessary connection between conservatism and profit the conservative parties in all the developed world have become the great protectors of profit making against all forms of regulation and compassionate limitation yet there is nothing inherently conservative about profit seeking quite the contrary the profit motive is what makes capitalism so destructive of all traditional structures and relations however creative that destruction might be the closest connection i see between conservatism and profit seeking is the dour realism of calvinist inflected adam smith smith knew that profit seeking is based on the vice of avarice he believed there was a way though to harness this individual vice into being a source of public good however to keep profit seeking within safe bounds the market needs to be constantly controlled by the state and tempered by the virtues produced in civil society unfettered profit seeking is not conservative it is the enemy of conserving the known and the good posted by gruntled at 9 41 am no comments thursday october 15 2020 contrary to rush limbaugh the academy does not teach that america is irredeemable there are a handful of academics who say america is irredeemable there are a handful of fanatics on the other side who say america is a savior nation as limbaugh does a position i as a church elder regard as open heresy the vast majority of academics are engaged in the search for truth about their topic whatever that topic is and wherever the search for truth takes them as teachers we necessarily have to address the simplistic ideas that students bring with them some things they believe are outright myths teaching them that american history contains bad things as well as good ones is an essential aspect of good teaching and good truth seeking some students and quite a few non students like limbaugh resist having their idols questioned this leads some academics to use very forceful language to insist that the bad things really did happen i still get students who were taught that the civil war had nothing to do with slavery there are still students who are taught that racism ended in the 60s i know as a sociologist that is it very hard for most people to grasp the idea of social structures we tend to reduce all social phenomena to individuals intending their individual action this makes teaching challenging but pointing out that bad things did happen are still happening and have left a structural residue which continues to have effects beyond what any individual intends is not the same as teaching that america is irredeemable limbaugh who makes his money from sensationalized fear mongering probably does know better he has admitted as much in his several divorce proceedings but it would interfere with his business model to admit it to his dittoheads this was written in response to a friend asking about a specific rush limbaugh show from october 13 2020 but repeats a theme he has expressed often posted by gruntled at 9 11 am 1 comment saturday
