Is a "Republic of High-Status Males" What We Need?
Elon reposted the above, calling it an “interesting observation.”
Except… it’s NOT an observation. It’s a hypothesis. And one that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny:
We’ve just lived through one of the greatest tests of our ability to think independently, and most of us failed miserably.
Who are the ones who passed the test? Were they “only”, or even predominantly, “high-status males”? No. Not even close.
Many of us have tried to understand what it is that separates those of us who thought our way through the “pandemic” from those who followed their way through. It wasn’t necessarily the smartest, nor the best educated, who were able to see through the BS. It was a mix of men and women, from all strata of society.
In my own experience, more women - and mothers, in particular - than men were willing to question the agenda, and fewer of the highly educated elite were. So… is a Republic of mothers who didn’t go to college the “best for decision making”?
No, of course not. What’s best for decision making is for individuals to make their own decisions about their own lives. Rather than centralized authorities making decisions for the rest of us.
In fact, THAT WAS THE ENTIRE LESSON OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
Something that most of us - “high-T alpha males and aneurotypical people” included - have tragically failed to learn.
I am aware of a high school science department (of approximately 10 teachers) in which every female teacher got the jabs and every male teacher did not.
I find that interesting because the level of education, choice of profession, geographic location, and socioeconomic level are all factors which were controlled in this "natural experiment" case study (observation by me). One could even say that being a woman was a stronger factor in their decision than being an "autist," since some may argue that "nerdy" women going into science may be more likely to be on the spectrum.
Interesting position - "Only critical thinkers should be allowed to participate in making decisions for society, which is a group that I place myself in."
If only people who propose that idea were truly able to think critically!
