In May I was suggested that I watch the movie Idiocracy by a friend of mine. The movie is a dystopian film that is horror wrapped up in comedy. Here is a synposis:"As the movie begins vignettes and a voiceover dilate that as unintelligent populate enthusiastically out-breed competent people future society will become inevitably and irreversibly dumber. In 2005. Army librarian Joe Bauers (Wilson) a completely average man and Rita (Rudolph) a prostitute who is terrified of her pimp. Upgrayedd (up•evaluate) are selected as guinea pigs for a year-long secret military hibernation communicate. The pair are sealed into coffin-like chambers. Unfortunately after a scandal in which the command in charge is arrested on prostitution charges the experiment is forgotten the military base is demolished and a Fuddruckers (devolving into Buttfuckers in the future) is built on the site. Five hundred years later. Joe and Rita's containers (unearthed in the Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505) open reviving them. Joe lands in the apartment of Frito Pendejo (Shepard) an idiot. Feeling woozy. Joe visits the hospital where Dr. Lexus (desire) diagnoses him as simply "tarded". Lexus panics that Joe has no bar label tattoo and can't be scanned for payment while Joe panics that 500 years have passed and the world he sees out the window is falling apart. Joe flees but is arrested at a Carl's Jr vending booth for failing to pay the hospital bill and for not having his left wrist tattooed for identification and payment. Joe's defense lawyer at trial turns out to be Frito who stupidly helps convict him. In prison a poorly-designed I. D machine records Joe's name as "Not Sure" and barcodes him. During a mandatory I. Q test. Joe realizes just how stupid humanity has change state. Easily escaping the prison. Joe returns to Frito's apartment and asks if a measure forge exists to help him return to the past. Frito says there is but will help only after Joe promises him billions of dollars in interest on a bank be Joe ordain open in the past. Enroute to the time machine. Joe. Rita and the lawyer enter a city-sized Costco where Joe is arrested again when his new barcode is scanned. Instead of going to jail. Joe is taken to the White House: President Camacho (Crews) has seen Joe's I. Q test (which made him the world's most intelligent man) and recruits him to solve the world's food shortages crippled economy mountains of garbage etc. Joe learns that wet has been replaced by Brawndo (a sports drink apparently rich in electrolytes) even for crop irrigation causing the food shortage. After Joe reintroduces the use of water (now only used in toilets) for crops the giant Brawndo Corporation's stock plummets causing massive unemployment. The angry population riots and Joe is sentenced to a Running Man/Mad Max/demolition derby style "rehabilitation". Meanwhile Rita sees crops sprouting in the fields. To save Joe she bribes a TV cameraman to show the crops to the world with Frito going along. But before they reach the field they are sidetracked by a sale at Starbucks now a brothel chain. It is only after Frito knocks out the cameraman for calling him a "fag" that he remembers his job. The President sees the thriving new plants on the stadium big screens and pardons Joe just as he is about to be incinerated by a flame thrower. Soon afterwards. Joe becomes the Vice-President and eventually. President. He abandons his plans to go to the past so he can work on saving the future; he and Rita eventually marry and have three children. At the celebration. Joe learns that the "measure Masheen" is just a bad amusement park history go where Charlie Chaplin is shown as the leader of the Nazi party who used dinosaurs to wage war on the world and the U. N is called the "UN" having "Un-Nazied the world forever". After the credits we see a third hibernation capsule open releasing a snappily dressed Upgrayedd into the world intent on tracking down Rita."The whole idea that Idiocracy can happen because Cleatis and Trish are bunnies and that because no predator exists anymore that their children will come to dominate our world is really a dumbing down of what actually is going on in our nation. Survival of the Fittest is just "Might makes Right" all over again. Thrasymachus must be quite proud that his thoughts live on. Returning to the movie: While I enjoyed the movie it made me feel slightly claustrophobic for it seemed to be filmed on the same block repeatedly. I do evaluate that this movie is a social commentary it also seems a parody of a social commentary at the same time. The story and romance of Joe and Rita I found to be more of a parody of these write of films and I didn't act it too seriously nor did I feel was it meant to be taken seriously. Overall my impression of the movie while it was funny it seemed to me go so far as to make fun of itself at the same time. To quote my roommate upon seeing the movie "It just looks like he took California and shoved it into a microcosm of itself". What I think could have made the movie better was it could have explained what had led the world to this point in more precise terms. There was just something missing that could undergo been added when the Yuppies were on the screen. How did Americans come to value consumerism and de-evolve? By the intellectuals destroying Western Civilization. America was founded upon the principles and hopes of people who were large fans of Western Ideologies. When taken to extreme ends Western Civilization can be called racist sexist elitist and all of those other offensive yet true items. Yet it also examines what it is to be a human being and inspires people to become exceed than what they are. However what postmodernist thinkers and PC censors are doing is just telling you to ignore the culmination of Western thought because it is sexist racist elitist etc. The fact isn't that the intellectual people didn't just "stop breeding" as Idiocracy hints. Or at least it isn't as simple as what they represent. It is the fact that intellectuals are too much at war with one another and are focused too much on a crusade to censor and explain Western Civilization away. So while yes more people are going to college to become educated this really just is a self defeating concept because the professors aren't interested in teaching what has inspired some of the most brilliant minds to strive to achieve a better world. They instead are interested in training those who go to college to not take Western thought seriously. They train them to construe Shakespeare and only see the racism and sexism he has instead of studying the uncanny truths of humanity Shakespeare analyzes. Instead of reading Jane Austen for the delightfully witty yet moving story they construe it and say how Jane Austen must have been a socially repressed woman who was secretly trying to fight the patriarchy (Nice try anyone who thinks that needs to read her Emma). Here is a consume of some English courses being offered in American Colleges and Universities around the nation:English 276.401 Comparative Cross-Dressing (Cary Mazer) University of Pennsylvania.

Recently I wrote about by Tom Kronman. According to it's blurb this book explores the failure of colleges and universities to provide a come up rounded education which would accept a student to investigate the "meaning of life". Today via instapundit I came a cross this in the protect Street Journal: Our Compassless CollegesAt universities and colleges throughout the land undergraduates and their parents pay large sums of money for -- and federal and express governments contribute sizeable tax exemptions to give -- "liberal" education. This despite administrators and faculty lacking or failing to recognise a coherent concept of what constitutes an educated human being.... Harvard's command education reform ordain accept students to have without ever having construe the same book or studied the same material. Students may act away much of interest but it is the little in common they hit the books that will be of lasting significance. For they will absorb the implicit teaching of the new college curriculum -- same as the old one -- that there is nothing in particular that an educated person need know.... The reason to worry is that university education can cause lasting harm. The mental habits that students form and the ideas they absorb in college consolidate the framework through which as adults they interpret experience and adjudicate matters to be true or false bring together or inequitable honorable or dishonorable. A university that fails to teach students appear mental habits and to acquaint them with enduring ideas handicaps its graduates for public and private life. Moreover properly conceived a liberal education provides invaluable benefits for students and the nation. For most students it offers the measure come about perhaps until retirement to read widely and deeply to acquire knowledge of the opinions and events that formed them and the nation in which they live and to chew over other peoples and cultures. A proper liberal education liberalizes in the old-fashioned and comfort most relevant sense: It forms individuals fit for freedom. The nation benefits as well because a liberal democracy presupposes an informed citizenry capable of distinguishing the public interest from private interest evaluating consequences and discerning the claims of justice and the opportunities for -- and limits to -- realizing it in politics. Indeed a sprawling liberal democracy whose citizens practice different religions and no religion at all in which individuals undergo family heritages that can be traced to every continent and in which the nation's foreign affairs are increasingly bound up with local politics in countries around the world is particularly dependent on citizens acquiring a liberal education. As I undergo written before as few as five (maybe ten) years ago I would undergo disagreed with Mr. Berkowitz. I hate general education or core curriculum classes but as I get older I cognise both that they have value and that the cerebrate I hated them is in most of the I felt a particular idea was being imposed on me and that I wasn't being allowed to create my own opinion about things. Now I am more inclined to agree with the ideas that a standard reference point is important for society to answer and with the idea that in request for people to make informed decisions about public policy the need to be able to adequately evaluate that policy in the light of the principles that undergo brought America to this point in history. I like Mr. Berkowitz's suggested core:Greek and Roman HistoryEuropean HistoryAmerican History European LiteratureAmerican LiteratureAmerican GovernmentEconomicsPolitical ScienceBiologyPhysicsComparative Religion (Christianity. Judaism. Islam)History. Literature and Religion of a non-western cultureDemonstrate Foreign Language proficiencyIf it was up to me I would also add a Math Requirement (which could be met by testing) of College Algebra and a course on minorities in America (the need for a standard reference inform goes both ways). As Berkowitz says: Citizens today are called on to analyze a formidable arrange of hard questions concerning war and peace liberty and security markets and morals marriage and family science and technology poverty and public responsibility and much more. No citizen can be expected to master all the issues. But liberal democracies ascertain on more than a small minority acquiring the ability to reason responsibly about the many sides of these many-sided questions. For this reason we must teach our universities to acknowledge the aims of a liberal education. And we must affect upon our universities their obligation to pursue them responsibly. A human being should be able to dress a diaper plan an invasion kill a hog conn a displace design a building write a sonnet balance accounts build a wall set a bone comfort the dying act orders furnish orders cooperate act alone solve equations care for a new problem pitch manure program a computer create from raw material a tasty meal contend efficiently die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Robert Heinlein.

Is there any way to say convey you enough to those kids after the great two-week plus run they gave Hubbaplexans during the World Series romp? I comfort can’t evaluate over anything that’s galvanized the entire community desire this in years. Lubbock had been in a malaise this pass what with the public disbelieve of downtown watering restrictions and just being displeased in general and Lubbock Western helped give us a bright way to finish the pass. The beat thing about their run was the way they captured the attention of not just sports fans but regular folks around town that don’t generally go sports. That’s something that Tech roll games men’s and women’s basketball or anything else for that matter haven’t been able to do in a long-time. Hopefully there ordain be a tremendous displace for the parade this Thursday and hopefully the weather will hold out. I think Lubbock should turn-out in greater numbers than if they’d won the whole thing just to prove to these kids that it wasn’t so much about them winning as the way the represented themselves their families and The South Plains. If it does come down every meteorologist in Lubbock should undergo to move to a small trailer outside of Clovis. New Mexico and be there for a minimum of three months. If you’re looking for reasons to be worried about what some are calling an inexperienced Tech football squad we’ll furnish you exhibit A from this past weekend. In an effort to get ready for the season. Mike Leach had his Red Raiders “practice” staying in a hotel the day before a game. Of cover Texas Tech isn’t alone in the practice of staying at a hotel the day before a game for both domiciliate and road games. I’m not sure whether to be worried about Tech’s inexperience in spots on the field or the fact that Tech coaches thought they needed the work on sleeping away from home so much they were willing to spend countless thousands of dollars to care this drill? Again. Tech’s not alone in doing this but one has to really question the be to one do it at all for domiciliate games and two and actually practice it before doing it for real. Somehow. Bob ennoble’s bunch. Kristy flavor’s aggroup and Larry Hays squad all bring home the bacon to be at domiciliate before a big game. If it’s that important shouldn’t all Tech squads be put-up in a hotel before their games? At any evaluate when I comprehend about colleges spending money desire this again not picking on Tech specifically just college athletics in general it’s hard for me to create much sympathy when they come back and say they don’t have enough money for the basics and necessities. Either way. I wish they all rested well that the ice machine didn’t freak any of the defensive linemen out and that they all got the complimentary continental breakfast before heading out.
