Yet another overpaid, nutty professor shares his astounding wisdom and insight. Only a select few are fortunate enough to physically attend his profound lectures.

If you extended his logic by including denouncing global warming as an extension of white racist thought...you could make left heads explode!

The ability to reason has been a very successful skill indeed.
Instead of sharing it, is this guy trying to withhold it from the non-white races or trying to discourage its use?

Ayn Rand saw this coming

So did Vonnegut, even though he was a leftist himself.

I’m not sure, because its all a bit convuluted, but I dont think hes saying that drawing rational conclusions is racist, I think hes saying that the very concept of rational conclusions is in itself racist. Presumably because it was mostly (but not completely) established by white males - and as we all know they are evil.

Reason built the car you drive and the food you eat Professor. Try living on emotion for a week.

But who could argue with logic like this?

This screed doesn’t even qualify as gobbledygook. It’s just pure crap.

The emperor (the Left) truly has no clothes today. One can say anything denigrating Western thought and religion and the zombie liberals drool with approval. The exact same reason why they tolerate Islam.

I’m with you completely. I always thought that Wesley Mouch and John Galt had more in common than either realized - they both, in their own ways, put Man at the center of the Universe.

To me, Atlas Shrugged is just 1167 pages of “get off my lawn”.

Cheers.

Early Christian philosophers called Jesus Christ, the Logos, logic, and reason of the universe.

In Greek philosophy, the logos remains an impersonal force, a lifeless and abstract philosophical concept that is a necessary postulate for the cause of order and purpose in the universe. In Hebrew thought, the Logos is personal. He indeed has the power of unity, coherence, and purpose, but the distinctive point is that the biblical Logos is a He, not an it.

The professor hates logic, reason, and truth. Therefore he hates Jesus Christ, the author of logic, reason, and truth. He despises his assigned Judeao/Euro-Christian heritage. I would not be surprised if he were an open, or closet, Sodomite.

So if “reason” is a white male construct, then the corollary is that illogic and incoherence are the property of other races and genders?

If that’s case, its a very great compliment he’s paying to white males, and quite a slur on everyone else.

So he's saying that a non-racist society will inevitably not be rational? With that I agree.

And I would submit that a non-rational society would be chaotic. Like, well, Baltimore.

...he likely would have difficulty reading a map, much less being able to steer without a copy of Navigation For Dummies.

That is not his main problem, which is that he would probably say, "I am one of the intellectual elite! I do not NEED to steer any particular course, let alone require this simplistic instruction manual."

I would complain about the coming dark ages, but that would be racist.

The “scientific method” is racist!

High IQ is racist.
