RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
The very first anti-vaxxer I ever met … or even heard of … was at Les Amis Cafe (aka the "Marxist Meat Market") two blocks from UT campus. In 1991 or 1992. First Anti-Vaxxer I met was a UT Leftist. She was from upper middle class Houston family, in grad school, and was into everything “all-natural.” — Standard “Leftist" ideology: Against corporations, capitalism, and what is now called “Big Pharma.” Said we could not trust vaccines, that they might be worse than the diseases they prevent. When I pointed out that everyone sitting at the Cafe and walking by was likely a UT student and thus vaccinated and seemingly health, she just just shrugged: "Well, you can't trust capitalist medical corporations …” The Left Moves Away from Science… at UT and around the world In the late 1980s-early 1990s … with the demise of the Cold War and full knowledge of USSR’s bloody totalitarianism … the Leftist ideology began to radically change: Starting to become anti-science, pro-religion, and very very cultural relativist. Rather than abandon Marxism, they decided to abandon science! — I read this in books and heard this at UT: “all beliefs are relative and valid except the belief in capitalism, which was inherently bad.” (Of course, this is a huge logical fallacy) I literally heard the following argument stated by 2-3 Leftist grad students at UT: — “science is an extension of capitalism and thus cannot be considered an objective way of knowing the world.” They literally believed that capitalism was the underlying bedrock of all belief systems and worldviews. If any science was funded by government taxes and/or corporations in a largely capitalist society, then by definition: all science was the tool and knowledge in service to capital … not a means of understanding empirical reality. — Naturally, I asked how Darwin and evolution were bogus ploys by capitalism? How the discoveries of Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton were made in service to capital? I asked how the UT McDonald Observatory was a tool of capitalism? I recall saying I guess Hubble’s discovery of the Big Bang must have been just a capitalist ploy for unlimited consumption of Earth’s resources. — I told the Leftists that they merely brought empirical science down to the level of creationism and fundamentalism. And this would cause huge problems in society. Astonishingly, to me at the time, these Leftist grad students basically stood by their beliefs. 33 years later, here we are. These beliefs are central to MAGA-GQP-RFKjr, fueling anti-science and conspiracy, and are helping power the collapse of American democracy. And I first encountered them on the Left. -

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
This seems to help the smaller schools, that were hurting in NIL resources? Now they have a $20M budget to pay, out of AD revenue. It seems that is $20M less to pay elsewhere (coaches, facilities, travel, equipment), but the shameless poor will just pay that deficit out of regular resources. A bad look; the private schools won’t care. -
