It is an ever weirder, wackier, and
less free world in which we live. Most of us realize this. But, in case you’ve
been channeling your inner Joe Biden and have been on vacation and/or in your
basement and out of touch for lengthy periods of time, here are some recent examples
to prove the point.
In a recent @bbcideas post on “X,” a
green-haired, blue-lipped trans person claimed that the universe has no fundamental nature in and of
itself, and that everything-- even purportedly objective things like
science—is/are really nothing more than expressions of power.
The person made the preposterous
assertion that “Quantum physics reveals that there is no fixed reality” and that it is “full of beautiful
contradictions.” He/she/they added that, since “reality
is itself a construct” that has “no real, fixed foundation,” quantum physics actually
supports Queer Theory’s assertion that males and females aren’t real. Ergo, the
universe itself is queer!
Speaking of the formerly Great Britain, UK property owners
who fail to comply with new energy efficiency rules could face prison time under proposed
government plans. Some ministers want to grant themselves powers to create new criminal
offenses and increase civil penalties as part of an effort to hit net zero carbon
emission targets. Under the proposals, opposed by many Tory MPs, people who fail
to comply with the proposed stringent new rules to reduce their energy
consumption could be imprisoned for up to a year-- and be subject to fines
of up to £15,000.
And,
back in the states, New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently told those
attending an Upper West Side Town Hall meeting: "Let me tell you
something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not
see an ending to. I don't see an ending to this. I don't see an ending to this.
This issue will destroy
New York City. Destroy New York City. We're getting 10,000 migrants a month.” The
Big Apple has been grappling with the influx of over 110,000 migrants just since
last year, and its mayor seems unable to deal with the challenges that has
posed. So much so that he added, “The city we
knew we're about to lose.”
The mayor
of a “sanctuary city” now says that the reality is that illegal
immigrants will “destroy” it?
What a
beautiful contradiction.
It’s a
queer world, indeed.
