Truth is Just an Agreed-Upon Concept
“O’Donnell’s LinkedIn bio page lists ‘University of Oxford’ as one of the schools she attended, claiming she studied ‘Post Modernism in the New Millennium.’ But it turns out that was just a course conducted by an institution known as the Phoenix Institute, which merely rented space at Oxford.” [Plum Line]
I once attended a lecture by Dr. Edward Teller. Does that make me a collaborator in the development of the H-bomb?
I’ve attended:
The Sorbonne
Harvard
Yale
Cornell
Sanford
Caltech
MIT
Berkley
and
Suzy’s Dance Studio
This makes me so edumakated.
From the article:
The Phoenix Institute defines itself as an institution that runs summer sessions “on three continents” in the quest to answer the question, “What is it to be human?”
Answer: Not a monkey?
@Dodgerblue: My friend’s mom who grew up in Los Alamos was babysat by Klaus Fuchs, Soviet atom bomb spy.
@redmanlaw: Wow! Did she pass him any baby secrets?
@Dodgerblue: Hey, I found your Halloween costume, Dodger.
@SanFranLefty: I like it. My brother-in-law has a pipe wrench that size — he’s ready for anything.
@Dodgerblue: Sorely disappointed that dead fish and wrench not included.
What are these people thinking: that trampled US American consumers have the resources — or spirit — to accessorize their store-bought Halloween costumes?
(Also, that oil-slicked rigger is kinda hot, in a post-apocalyptic zombie erotic aesthetic. I think I might-would hit that.)
