My complaint about SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics

While SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics needs no introduction, I do want to state that defeatism is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion. Here's a quick review: If you can go more than a minute without hearing SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics talk about opportunism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial. SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's sense of humor runs the gamut from rude and crude to scary and daft. While this lighthearted statement adds sorely needed humor to an otherwise tense situation, SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics decries or dismisses capitalism, technology, industrialization, and systems of government borne of Enlightenment ideas about the dignity and freedom of human beings. These are the things that it fears, because they are wedded to individual initiative and responsibility. Take, for example, nutty tax cheats. Now look at SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics. If you don't believe there's a similarity, then consider that it is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens solve the problems that are important to most people. Responsible citizens doubtlessly do not distract people from serious analysis of the situation.

SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's lapdogs are unified under a common goal. That goal is to play on people's conscious and unconscious belief structures. How can we trust postmodernist psychotic scum who actively conceal their true intentions? We can't. And besides, SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics is locked into its present course of destruction. It does not have the interest or the will to change its fundamentally vicious subliminal psywar campaigns. What SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics is doing falls just short of giving handguns to schoolchildren, pure and simple. SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's orations are crapulous but reflective of the localized normative attitudes among lethargic turncoats. That fact may not be pleasant, but it is a fact regardless of our wishes on the matter.

I like to speak of SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics as "conniving". That's a reasonable term to use, I think, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, I once told it that it can't throw away its integrity and expect the world to respect it for it. How did it respond to that? It proceeded to curse me off using a number of colorful expletives not befitting this letter, which serves only to show that "SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics" has now become part of my vocabulary. Whenever I see someone force people to act in ways far removed from the natural patterns of human behavior, I tell him or her to stop "SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics-ing". SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's pranks share a number of characteristics. They reopen wounds that seem scarcely healed. They torment, harry, and persecute anyone who crosses SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's path. And they stand in the way of progress. Put together, these characteristics imply that SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics is careless with data, makes all sorts of causal interpretations of things without any real justification, has a way of combining disparate ideas that don't seem to hang together, seems to show a sort of pride in its own biases, gets into all sorts of prurient speculation, and then makes no effort to test out its speculations -- and that's just the short list!

I don't normally want to expose anyone to rigorous sarcasm, satire and disdain, but SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics deserves it. Every time SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics utters or writes a statement that supports immoralism -- even indirectly -- it sends a message that SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics can achieve its goals by friendly and moral conduct. I myself surely suspect we mustn't let it make such statements, partly because it's ludicrous to believe that law and order can be maintained by letting its apostles encourage every sort of indiscipline and degeneracy in the name of freedom, but primarily because it claims that a richly evocative description of a problem automatically implies the correct solution to that problem. That claim is preposterous and, to use SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's own language, overtly irritating. No history can justify it. If we let SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics attack the critical realism and impassive objectivity that are the central epistemological foundations of the scientific worldview, who's going to protect us? The government? Our parents? Superman? Probably none of the above. That's why it's important to find the common ground that enables others to criticize the obvious incongruities presented by SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics and its worshippers.

SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics thinks that the laws of nature don't apply to it. Of course, thinking so doesn't make it so. At the risk of sounding hopelessly goofy, SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics's most progressive idea is to abuse science by using it as a mechanism of ideology. If that sounds progressive to you, you must be facing the wrong way. I have just one word for SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics: anthrohopobiological. Many the things I've talked about in this letter are obvious. We all know they're true. But still it's necessary for us to say them, because in order to advance a clear, credible, and effective vision for dealing with our present dilemma and its most bad-tempered manifestations, tremendous sacrifices and equally great labors will sincerely be necessary.
