PENN Today: Task Force on Antisemitism…High Time?

Featured Replies

Dear Folks,

 

I have always maintained that I am proud to have attended the University of Pennsylvania, and for many valid reasons.

 

Here, simply put, is just one more very good reason I am proud to have attended one of the greatest universities known to man, and beast.  I say, beast, because….Penn is also Dog Friendly, in case you might not know.  There are plenty of dogs that enjoy monitoring Penn undergrad classes, and I do not mean the co-eds, either.

 

Recently, I just received this notification concerning a great article written in Penn Today, discussing a new leader of the Penn Task Force fighting antisemitism, and I think this task force requires more attention.  Antisemitism, and bias/prejudice of all kinds, is abhorrent and disgusting.

Antisemitism is something which I have been troubled by most of my life, from the age of about EIGHT.

 

In addition, if you truly wish to know my thoughts about antisemitism, then you need not go any further than to read ALL the books written by my fellow-alum, Noam Chomsky.  Good Old Noam has not influenced me much, because…I read Noam only due to the fact that he merely parrots my own thinking…and this is why I LOVE HIM SO…..  Noam is a great teacher, but he did not teach me much, since I was WAY AHEAD of him, in fact.

 

My thoughts on Chomsky:

image.png.7323daa5cf3bbc8b3fc9076fb76348b3.png

 

a.  IMHO, I am slightly smarter than he. And, this is probably just due to the Flynn Effect, since he was born over 20 years before I blessed the world with my presence.

b.  Chomsky seems to bend over backwards to hold as few biases as possible, same as I.

c.  Noam is very tall in stature, both physically and intellectually, same as I.

d.  Sometimes, or about once in the past, Noam makes false statements, but only rarely. I would suggest that his statements on Cambodia might be an example. However, actually, I agree with him in this case, ALSO….though some might not.

 

Well, enough of Noam, for now.

 

Let us just say that I am PROUD to be an alumnus of Penn, especially when I see Penn standing up against prejudice and bias, and the NON-Scientific-Method-type of garbage thinking we see being scattered around the internet by any two-bit blogger of hate.

 

One thing I could always count on is that Noam would voice the opinions that, almost invariably, would jibe with my own.  Being a genius myself, and since it takes one to know one, Chomsky is a genius, for sure.  I believe that the past 70 years will be considered the Era of Noam.  So solly that this era is now coming to a close.  And, is there any new giant on the horizon fit to replace him? Absolutely, NOT, no way, no how….!!!  (Not even me, since I am also on my way out…)

 

So, I am here to say that prejudice and bias is a disgusting thing.  Never dabble in it, my friends. Dabbling in prejudice and bias is the surest way to perdition.

 

Which reminds me of…. The great film, Rosemary’s Baby.  What a sickening film, written, mostly, by that great director and fiddler on the roof, Roman Polanski.

 

Again, we are heading into another weekend, here on TV…..so….I hope that you all will…

 

Have a Good One….!!!

And mark my words….

Prejudice and Bias is the surest way to perdition.

 

Best regards,

GammaRays….(are good for YOU…)

Note:  TV is a great forum, I think. TV still has amazing potential, and we will see this play out in the very near future, as TV reaches ever-higher heights of greatness.  (Once again:  Have a Good One….!!!!)

 

Note Two:  All Humans are, by definition and DNA….BROTHERS…..(We Are Brothers, as the song goes….)

 

MOST IMPORTANT Final Note:  Anytime I read Chomsky, or listen to his lectures, then I know, surprisingly, that….I am, actually, NOT…..CRAZY…. (Let Chomsky take the heat, not me, I say.)


 

HAVE A GOOD ONE, Folks….!!!!


 

Final Final Note:  We are Humans….and…. I’m the Man…we are ALL men…


 

Absolutely the Final Final:  We are BROTHERS….Folks! If you do not believe this, then just listen to Bill Withers, one of the greats, though not quite as great as I, for mentioning him….

 

Bill Withers, too, was one of a kind.

One of the greats.

Although, I am not sure if he was a Jew, though he may be/have been....

He had plenty of soul.

 

I wonder where people like Withers have gone.

The world has changed too much for me.

Leave that Young Thing, alone.....

In short, this topic, like most, is a full-spectrum meltdown of vanity, delusion, and word salad disguised as moral philosophy. The figure in question has morphed into a walking contradiction, a self-proclaimed intellectual surrounded by a handful of half-soused pensioners on a meaningless forum debating the most mundane of topics. He speaks like a tenured professor, yet the only lecture hall recently visited seems to be the narrow corridor between a fridge and a toilet. There is something almost poetic about it, a person pacing naked through a large, dark room bathed in the glow of dusty electronics, mistaking the hum of his overworked air-conditioners for applause. What is presented as philosophy is really just cabin fever with punctuation. Whatever insight might have been offered froze solid in that space long ago, leaving a performance of intellect that exists almost entirely in imagination.

There are very few AI models that might have said it better.

Which one are YOU using?

 

Still, thank you for your contribution.

Be that as it may, THIS TOPIC is not about Israel.

 

Also, even more importantly:

 

The only reason DNA was mentioned in the Topic is THIS:

 

a.  All humans share the same DNA, meaning the Human Genome.

b.  All humans share about 60% of common DNA sequences with BANANAS.....

image.png.c8ffa97d0adbfdab356f90412b05fdb0.png

c. There are already TOO MANY political Topics on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. I am sure that you and I do not need another one.

d. Let us not mention DNA, other than to say that DNA proves that you and I are brothers, Brother.....(not bananas)....

 

Right On!!!!

 

 

In any country, one can implement all the regulations or laws to ban certain thoughts and ideas. But these rules cannot change what people could think deeply inside and it ends up in showing in public. 

DNA testing is NOT illegal in Israel but that's another one of the false vile Jew hating tropes often broadcast online.

Wow.  Topics about jew hate sure bring out the drooling jew haters.

 

70% of Israelis arent of European ancestry. Most European Jews, you know, the ones who fled places like the Ukraine because they were being slaughtered by the their primitive hate ridden jew hating Ukrainian neighbors who paraded with babies impaled on swords, you know, that usual Ukrainian party stuff, left Europe for the USA before the Nazis murdered the remnants.

I believed, at the time, that actions were more important than words.

 

I have never regretted my decision.

Very much agree.

This is part of the message of the article written in Penn Today.

 

a. Racism is just plain UN-scientific.  Racism is NOT based on Science.

b. Also, discrimination and hostile prejudice is hurtful and harmful.

 

We can read more at Penn concerning this Task Force on Antisemitism,...here at this link...

 

https://antisemitism-action-plan.upenn.edu/task-force

 

Very strange, really, since it seems the world, these days, is going backward, and not forwards.

We had begun to make progress, and then, all of a sudden, in recent years, we have seen many "steps backward".

 

This is not good for anyone, of course.

Racism, or Biological Racism, is very outdated.

 

"The myth of 'race' has created an enormous amount of human and social damage. In recent years, it has taken a heavy toll in human lives, and caused untold suffering"

 

How true it is.  

 

“The truth is funny. Honest discovery, observation, and reaction is better than contrived invention.”
