Episode 224: Categorically Errory
Play Now!I could do every episode sharing crud that attempts to score points against collective action… crud that spouts from mouths paid by people most likely to suffer should collective action occur. I present two in this Episode 224: Categorically Errory.In this episode, I read from: Robert Henderson's City Journal article, "The Cadre In The Code"; and from the Manhattan Institute's various web pages. From memory, I also related the gist of Upton Sinclair's Lanny Budd novels.I play: from Bill Maher's show, Real Time, Elon Musk getting his meritocracy on; and D. L. Myers invoking the Powell Movement. KMFDM backs Bruce Livesy in the intro, and I close with Julie and Rolf & the Campfire Gang doing "Over The Rainbow".Links to that material (along with an article that I didn't quote at all, but that had a full link to the Bill Maher show) can be found at the show notes at AttackAdsPodcast.Blogspot.com.Oh, and a brief apology: this show is over a week late, simply because of [reasons], which were very good ones indeed. Trust me.Addendum: Thanks to longtime friend and listener BleakNemesis, we can picture what this controversy hath stirred!
Bleak got it here. Oh, and for those curious, BleakN is my nemesis, and has been since the name's creation. And a worthy adversary he is!

What a perfect episode!! Your point is clear, and you draw the reader into your enjoyment of de-bunking a biased Disinformation Factory.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone needs more elaboration on your final point... such a simple little test, that anyone with access to ChatGPT could perform -- which the author Robert Henderson failed to do! Try this:
* Ask ChatGPT to write an essay from an expert about why Communism is a good thing. We saw this result.
* Ask ChatGPT to write an essay from an expert about why Capitalism is a good thing.
* Ask ChatGPT to write an essay from an expert about why Communism is a bad thing.
* Ask ChatGPT to write an article from an expert about why Capitalism is a bad thing.
I don't personally have access to a chat bot, but I would be willing to bet a not-insignificant chunk of money, that all four essays would have solid reasoning and verifiable points to support each thesis.
Henderson clearly didn't do a real test.
Hey, Kevin!
ReplyDelete"Perfect"?! You flatter me, sir. Thanks!
