AppleBetty (9:48 am), yes, I have delved into Brouwer’s (and successors’) work for four decades now. However, I figured I wouldn’t indulge that delving in my comment on Dame Abdullah [smile]! — But I’m glad you went there, since now I know there are two of us who are “woke” to mathematical intuitionism/constructivism.

Phillip Sells and Barry Meislin, Thank you very much. I will think about what you’ve written.

Another Mike: Good points!
(I do wish this blog had a way to be notified of replies. Not that mine is important, this time. Just saying!)

I wonder if Ms Abdullah has considered the idea that people who obey the law and behave themselves do not often find themselves at the mercy of judges an juries. It makes no difference to them if they are racist or whatever, except in the abstract.

Or maybe she has considered that the folk she wants to “help” cannot be taught something like this, and is taking the low road.

AppleBetty, that’s interesting. RAA seems essentially equivalent to the apophatic approach in theology.

Welcome, Copperdawg. Are you in copper country?

Didn’t Tom Wolfe write a pretty good book about these clowns? I think it was “Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers” if I’m not mistaken–damn prophetic too. Just like in the movie “Network” where you have the marxist black lady (Mao Tse Tung Hour) negotiating with the TV network lawyers for “points”–just like Patrisse Cullors (BLM co-founder) signing a contract with Warner Brothers. You can’t make this sh*t up & I dare ya to try.

From the NY Post via Insty on Darcy on Smollet.

Oliver Darcy opines…
“Propagandists,” Darcy continues, “know that their power increases substantially when they can convince their audiences not to trust other sources of information. And so, Smollett’s case is very valuable to them.”
[…]
“When you cannot argue on the facts, it is much easier to dismiss a story in its entirety and go after the credibility of the press for reporting on it. It’s the timeless play — one that played on repeat during the Trump administration . . .”

And he’s correct, but projects everything onto his political enemies.
