Quote of the day......

All our mortal lives are set 

in danger and perplexity: 

One day to prosper, and the next -- 

who knows? 

When all is well, 

Then look for rocks ahead.

-----Sophocles.

       *         *         *         *         *

The wise are free from perplexities; 

The virtuous from anxiety; and 

The bold from fear.

---Confucius.

Quote of the day.... / Our Culture, What’s Left Of It.......

In the structure of scientific societies, 

in an era of globalization,

each society and nation state ape each other 

in adopting measures of authority and 

governance that is mostly undifferentiated 

along any ideology, whether it be dictatorship,

democracy, socialist or communist rule,

while each employ their tools of propaganda, 

political correctness with in the given 

Framework of socio-political,

cultural and religious dynamics....... and 

related power structures.... 

Here is what political correctness 

looks like as a reference and quote  

from Theodore Dalrymple...... 

Retired prison doctor and psychiatrist. 

      *          *          *          *          *

Political correctness is propaganda writ small. 

The purpose of propaganda is not to 

persuade or convince, nor to inform, 

but to humiliate; and therefore, 

the less it corresponded to reality the better. 

When people are forced to remain silent 

when they are being told the most obvious lies, 

or even worse when they are forced to repeat 

the lies themselves, they lose once and 

for all their sense of probity. 

To assent to obvious lies is to 

co-operate with evil, and in some small way 

to become evil oneself. 

One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, 

and even destroyed. 

A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. 

I think if you examine political correctness, 

it has the same effect and is intended to.
