I would go walking on the moors, and it was like being a member of the Inklings, and then I would go to school, and it was like being a character in "Clockwork Orange." The England I had been prepared to love by literature was dying away, and a new England, divided between Garry Glitter and David Bowie fanatics, was coming into being. The ironic thing was that the rivalry between the Glitter and Bowie fans was fought out in graffiti inscribed on surplus gas mask bags from World War II. My (American) brothers and I called them "Bowie Bags (I still have mine), and they seem to me an important artifact marking the transition from the old Britain to the new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-10401919053756622362012-08-13T07:47:47.395+10:002012-08-13T07:47:47.395+10:00Oh, they're onto gangsta rap now - guess they ...Oh, they're onto gangsta rap now - guess they reached the modern day!Simon in Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-28393830467121384202012-08-13T07:45:03.950+10:002012-08-13T07:45:03.950+10:00Sitting here watching the closing ceremony on TV -...Sitting here watching the closing ceremony on TV - the obviously Baby-Boomer director sure loves revelling in depravity (George Michael?) and an incredibly tawdry stuck-in-1975 version of Britain.Simon in Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-73230590224955982142012-08-12T19:27:10.737+10:002012-08-12T19:27:10.737+10:00Simon in basic first year evolutionary biology the...Simon in basic first year evolutionary biology they will show you case studies where evolution appears in a matter of seasons.<br />Yet liberals refuse to accept that any evolution has occurred inside the human skull.<br />Its also verboten to discuss this.<br />Any serious science minded person cannot take liberalism seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-35043456888603356942012-08-12T19:02:50.034+10:002012-08-12T19:02:50.034+10:00"Simon in London:

Condoms are not distributed as liberally as they are among Olympic athletes, but the results are the same. The funny thing is, they are almost all professed Darwinians.

But that's the modern university."<br /><br />The approved ideology on evolution seems to be very strange and incoherent. From what I can tell, if you analyse it, it goes as follows:<br /><br />Evolution is real, and operates at a species level, explaining the development of life on Earth. The environment affects survival rates - survival of the fittest - plus occasional useful new mutations.<br /><br />Modern humans evolved in Africa 150,000 years ago.<br /><br />OK, the above fits fairly well with the empirical evidence. But then we get:<br /><br />Modern Humans left Africa 50,000 years ago, entering into many new environments. EVOLUTION STOPPED. Or, "there has not been time for significant human evolution".<br /><br />This makes no sense at all - there's plenty of evidence that evolution can work on short time scales, and the very thing that should cause it to speed up coincides with the moment when it 'froze', leading to all human races being identical, despite differences in appearance. Also, they seem to believe all humans have identical potential intelligence, not just that all races have the same, but that individual humans have the same potential. Hence it does not matter if IQ 150 Europeans don't breed; identical genetic potential intelligence exists in all other races, and in IQ 100 Europeans, too. <br /><br />The approved ideology requires that evolution be both accepted and denied, at the same time - a sort of doublethink resembling Orwellian Crimestop. Marxists like Stephen Jay Gould have been influential in developing and propagating this contradictory belief, but they were feeding on an existing inherent contradiction in Liberalism - Rousseau-ean belief in human equality combined with Lockean belief in empirical evidence. The result is a system that needs to hedge human evolution about with extremely strong Crimestop taboos. Liberals will get physically sick even thinking about it.Simon in Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-9445601862298511792012-08-12T17:04:13.954+10:002012-08-12T17:04:13.954+10:00It's a good point.

You're spot on in your comments. S...Elizabeth,<br /><br />You're spot on in your comments. Some women realise too late just what they've wasted.<br /><br />For instance, there was Sharon Parsons who dedicated her 20s to a single girl lifestyle and just assumed that a family would follow on. When it proved to be too late she wrote:<br /><br /><i>And that - for me, at least - is a jolting part of being childless. However pretentious it may sound, there's the startling fact that my husband and I have severed the thread in our personal ancestry (unless, of course, he should decide to run off with a fertile 20-something). <br /><br />Despite our respective nephews and nieces taking up the family baton, he and I know that we are not passing anything of ourselves on to future generations. <br /><br />After an infinite genealogical timeline - impossible to imagine - we have drawn the mark in the sand. Enough. No more. Our bloodline stops here.</i><br /><br />And then there's Englishwoman Gabriella who wrote:<br /><br /><i>Having children in my 20s would have spelled the end of everything I had spent my life working towards and was about to really enjoy: the ability to spend my money the way I wanted, travel where I wanted, choose my partners, live as I wished.</i><br /><br />But as a childless woman in her 40s she was drawn to the view that:<br /><br /><i>If people like me don’t reproduce, civilisation may be the worse for it ... I am a typical product of my family; I can see the thread stretching back through the generations. Do I think it’s a shame that this genetic inheritance won’t continue?

Just as a man is apt to grow insufferably arrogant unless there is a woman to call his bluff, a woman is apt to grow insufferably self-pitying unless there is a man to laugh in her face. In my opinion the main main function of each sex is to laugh at the vanity and pretension of the other sex, and society gets seriously out of balance when one side gets negligent or diffident. Machismo is the male ego unconstrained, and it is grotesque.

These "brilliant women" are going to lead to a real-live version of the film "Idiocracy" because the most intelligent people are not passing down their genes and perpetuating their bloodline. It's only spoiled, modern women who want to create an Indian caste system where "strong women" going are matched with strong men. High-status men typically in the past weren't ashamed that they married a teacher or a secretary or a nurse or a dancer or anything that wasn't on "his level". Now a male doctor has to marry a female doctor. But he doesn't pass down his bloodline nor have a family.

It's been many, many years since I read Banister's book about his record, but I remember that he was a medical student when he did it, and that on the weekend previous to the notable event he went rock climbing. Banister, who is still alive, went on to a successful career as a physiologist. The point is that, for Banister, competitive running was part of a multifaceted life, and that when his running days were over, there were other things for him to do.<br /><br />Today's athletes are much better than Banister because they are recruited from a larger pool and because training is much more intense and scientific. All of those rock-hard abdominals are the fruit of years of single-minded training. While the feats of the athletes are certainly impressive, one has to wonder what they cannot do. In order to develop the one extraordinary skill that they do have, modern athletes must neglect the development of many other skills. How many of them are essentially uneducated, do you suppose? How many unable to cook a meal or participate in general conversation?<br /><br />We've long understood the problem of male athletes who, in their teens and twenties, spent too much time playing sports. What are they to do for the last 45 years of their lives? Here in the U.S., many become coaches in the high schools, teaching health or social studies on the side. The washed-up athlete cum dumb coach is a stock figure of humor. He's generally regarded as a rather pathetic figure, his "glory days" in the past.<br /><br />Female sports mania is now producing legions of washed-up female athletes cum dumb coaches, although no one is supposed to notice, much less laugh at this. Among women, the pathos is exacerbated by the perils, so frequently discussed at Oz Conservative, of delayed family formation. What will happen to a thirty-year-old female boxer with mild brain damage and limited social and vocational skills?

But this does not mean that most women have much interest in participating in sport, or parents in getting their daughters to participate in sport.<br /><br />There is also the Feminist view, which resulted in Title IX in the US and the destruction of much men's college sport, that women in general should be playing sport and acting mannish. Society should change, women should change, to look more like the crowd of lesbians I saw watch the GB vs Brazil women's football match. <br />I think this view is much less common, but those who disagree lack the vocabulary to oppose it without seeming 'sexist', at least to themselves, so you get Title IX.Simon in Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-16018691072914503252012-08-11T14:32:40.396+10:002012-08-11T14:32:40.396+10:00"it was difficult not to notice the mannish p..."it was difficult not to notice the mannish physiques of the female competitors"<br /><br />But if you do notice them, like the Turk Elizabeth mentioned, you will be excoriated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-86719698119894057592012-08-11T13:25:32.732+10:002012-08-11T13:25:32.732+10:00Sorry I meant Turkish.Sorry I meant Turkish.Elizabeth Smithnoreply@blogger.com
