A second post today, because there's too much fucktard floating around out there and someone needs to jump up and down pointing at it...
"Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys looking inept?" -- Frank Herbert, "Heretics of Dune"
"We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men..." -- George Orwell
The Overlord and his trusty sidekick are now available on a podcast!
The Idiot's Perspective (the episode is entitled "Just Foolin') is now available, for free, on Anchor and Spotify. At present, we have but a single test episode available, but would appreciate reviews, criticism, complaints, suggestions, kvetches, bitching, analysis, and comments.
Tell us what works, what sucks, what you would like to hear us talk about, how sexy my New York accent is, it's all good. Be brutal and send responses to excelsior502@gmail.com, please.
There's two more episodes planned for next week.
We would dearly appreciate your feedback!
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity at some point satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likely to make a Hell of Earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's own will and to be cured of states we do not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles and domestic animals..." -- C.S. Lewis, "God in the Dock; Essays on Theology"
A "graduate" is merely someone who spent an enormous amount of money to faithfully regurgitate whatever a professor -- who has probably never done whatever it is they teach for real or profit -- has been serving for the last 20 years.
Here's how stupid "a graduate" is:
You went to an institution that is a by-product of capitalism, on borrowed funds that are also the by-product of capitalism, to be indoctrinated by socialists who are paid with the by-products of capitalism, so that you could emerge uniquely unqualified for anything that capitalism finds useful and buried under a mountain of debt.
But nice piece of paper ya got there, Sonny. -- The Overlord
"Often, the pretexts for starting a war are not real shortages of land, food or fuel, but rather perceptions -- like fear, honor and perceived self-interest..." -- Victor Davis Hanson
"Where there is no alternative, there is no problem..." -- James Burnham
"There is no one force, no group, and no class that is the preserver of liberty. Liberty is preserved by those who are against the existing chief power. Oppositions which do not express genuine social forces are as trivial, in relation to entrenched power, as the old court jesters..." -- James Burnham, "The Machiavellians"
