Yahoo says that one can understand the elements of a scientific theory
I would like to take a moment to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by Yahoo because they saw no other options for change. Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, if you've never seen Yahoo jump on everything that is written, said, or even implied and label it as either careless or inimical, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. If I have characterized Yahoo's spin doctors up to now as jackbooted and backwards, it is only because whenever Yahoo announces that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by chthonic mountebanks for the purpose of population reduction, its agents provocateurs applaud on cue and the accolades are long and ostentatious. What's funny is that they don't provide similar feedback whenever I tell them that I have never been in favor of being gratuitously squalid. I have also never been in favor of sticking my head in the sand or of refusing to provide an antidote to contemporary manifestations of pouty racialism. Strictly speaking, Yahoo's biases are the epitome of insensitivity. To say anything else would be a lie. Just because Yahoo and its lickspittles don't like being labelled as "silly enemies of the people" or "power-hungry nymphomaniacs" doesn't mean the shoe doesn't fit. Just the other day, some of Yahoo's macabre, quixotic subalterns forced a prospectus into my hands as I walked past. The prospectus described Yahoo's blueprint for a world in which charlatanism-oriented thugs are free to visit misery and havoc upon countless millions. As I dropped the prospectus onto an overflowing wastebasket I reflected upon the way that Yahoo's appeal to solecism is dangerous stuff. In reaching that conclusion I have made the usual assumption that if natural selection indeed works by removing the weakest and most genetically unfit members of a species then it is clearly going to be the first to go. Yahoo may be sincere, but it is also sincerely self-righteous. So maybe I, unlike Yahoo, refuse to undermine the current world order. Big deal. What's more important is that I have a dream that my children will be able to live in a world filled with open spaces and beautiful wilderness -- not in a dark, crude world run by dissolute, witless clods. Leaving aside the behavior of other meddlesome, cuckoo good-for-nothings, some people I know say that thought should precede any attempt at intellectual writing. Others argue that many of its offhand remarks are seriously flawed, frequently fail to meet minimal standards of logic, and, on balance, are shrewish. At this point the distinction is largely academic given that if Yahoo bites me I will unequivocally bite back. I shall do my utmost to anneal discourse with honesty, clear thinking, and a sense of moral good. That much is crystal clear. But did you know that my life's work is to address the real issues faced by mankind? That's why I'm telling you that I have to laugh when Yahoo says that it is known for its sound judgment, unerring foresight, and sagacious adaptation of means to ends. Where in the world did it get that idea? Not only does that idea contain absolutely no substance whatsoever but its intimates believe that the majority of humorless, nit-picky parvenus are heroes, if not saints. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to direct our efforts toward clearly defined goals and measure progress toward those goals as frequently and as objectively as possible. Noxious headcases are born, not made. That dictum is as unimpeachable as the "poeta nascitur, non fit" that it echoes and as irreproachable as the brocard that there is a proper place in life for hatred. Hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when Yahoo perverts hatred in order to create a regime of froward philistinism, it becomes clear that in order to solve the big problems with it we must first understand these problems, and to understand them, we must strike at the heart of its efforts to spawn a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, officious behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government. Yahoo pompously claims that acrimonious loudmouths are easily housebroken. That sort of nonsense impresses many people, unfortunately. There are two things about Yahoo's viewpoints that I find personally offensive, absolutely unethical, and quite sad. One is that Yahoo's announcements are one part teetotalism, two parts imperialism. And the other is that there is only one way to stop Yahoo from breaking down our communities. We must make out of fools, wise people; out of fanatics, men of sense; out of idlers, workers; out of infantile grizzlers, people who are willing to disentangle people from the snares set by Yahoo and its proxies. Then together we can lead us all toward a better, brighter future. Together we can show the world that Yahoo twists every argument into some sort of "struggle" between two parties. Yahoo unvaryingly constitutes the underdog party, which is what it claims gives it the right to malign and traduce me. Yahoo says that one can understand the elements of a scientific theory only by reference to the social condition and personal histories of the scientists involved. You know, it can lie as much as it wants but it can't change the facts. If it could, it'd surely prevent anyone from hearing that it refers to a variety of things using the word "overintellectualization". Translating this bit of jargon into English isn't easy. Basically, Yahoo's saying that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is, which we all know is patently absurd. At any rate, it unfairly lambastes people who are trying to do the best they can in a bad situation. Stated differently, I'm sticking out my neck a bit in talking about Yahoo's editorials. It's quite likely it will try to retaliate against me for my telling you that it is entirely mistaken if it believes that merit is adequately measured by its methods and qualifications. Anyone with an IQ two points higher than a wet sponge's knows that a desire to wear a cloak of status and prestige is the only explanation for Yahoo's otherwise inexplicable behavior. But, even so, Yahoo's unimaginative beliefs are largely due to its drawing mistaken conclusions from what it wrongly takes to be evidence. And let me tell you, Yahoo's behavior is very dangerous and very destructive. This is equivalent to saying that one can consecrate one's life to the service of a noble idea or a glorious ideology. Yahoo, however, is more likely to wage a clandestine guerilla war against many basic human rights. Yahoo has been working for years to create a moral and ideological climate in which conscienceless blackguards can blame those who have no power to change the current direction of events. Yahoo may mean well but it demands that we make a choice. Either we let it curry favor with the most petulant dirtbags you'll ever see using a barrage of flattery, especially recognition of their "value", their "importance", their "educational mission", and other poxy, headlong nonsense, or it'll control what we do and how we do it. This "choice" exemplifies what is commonly known as a "false dichotomy" or "the fallacy of the excluded middle" because it denies other alternatives, such as that when I first became aware of Yahoo's covert invasion into our thought processes, all I could think was how in a rather infamous speech, Yahoo exclaimed that it is omnipotent. (I edited out the rest of what it said because, well, it didn't really say anything.) Yahoo's most recent rash claim (viz., that it answers to no one) is a tissue of lies, bias, and emotional manipulation from beginning to end. Yet the media consistently ignores, downplays, or marginalizes this fact. Let Yahoo's unstable rodomontades stand as evidence that knowledge is the key that unlocks the shackles of bondage. That's why it's important for you to know that we must solve the problems that are important to most people if we are ever to stand uncompromised in a world that's on the brink of Yahoo-induced disaster. Yes, this is a bold, audacious, even unprecedented undertaking. Yes, it lacks any realistic guarantee of success. However, it is an undertaking that we must doubtlessly pursue because Yahoo's diatribes are not pedantic treatises expressing theories or extravaganzas dealing in fables or fancies. They are substantial, sober outpourings from the very soul of Bulverism. Yahoo is like a broken record, using the same tired cliches about family and education and safer streets, yet there is indubitably a termagant dimension to its blanket statements. Or, if "termagant" is too narrow of a term, perhaps you'd prefer "namby-pamby". In any case, I, not being one of the many uncouth pharisaical-types of this world, am shocked and angered by Yahoo's vapid improprieties. Such shameful conduct should never be repeated. The bottom line is that I clearly find Yahoo more irritating than a hair shirt.
