millions of academic hours have been wasted looking for the nomological basis of history when there is none.
humans are autonomous, erratic, bloody minded, selfish and stupid.
how can there be a law for that?
have to laugh at all the handwringing on RNZ yesterday about the situation in Alleppo as if it was sui generis when it is in actual fact just another piece of geopolitics being played out on channel one.
none of the post modern pundits seem to be able to read anything about anything unless it concerns themself or it happened after they first became cognisant of the world and what they could get out of it.
If they read history at Uni then it is only to get the credits so they can get a job in a government department!!!!!!
hmmmmmmmm
History is mainly written for historians and it is not really about what actually happened but the forces that made it happen.
all the rest is gum flapping by people who should know better but have become intellectually lazy and self indulgent.
or they want to cherry pick examples to support their own narrow view of the world.
dig?
no kudos for the expert on Jim Mora yesterday who claimed it was never the parents fault for neglecting their children.
beating them.
sexually abusing them.
not feeding them and gods knows what else.
as if all the old man needs is a job and everything is hunky dory.
that is a bleeding heart nonsense.
There are people who have no idea about anything except their appetities and children are what they need to geta payday from the state.
Anyone who has read the road less travelled by w. scot peck will recall the story about the boy supposedly rescued from his deaf and dumb mothe in a chicago slum.
the boy went down a few wrong roads but came good.
it did not matter about the state of his early living his conditons his mother loved him.
unconditionally.
"any child who has the love of his mother will never lack for confidence"
"Sigmund Freud"
these people who like to get up and pontificate on the lives of others from their position of white middle class privilege and never get their hands dirty are part of the problem and not the solution.
Let them get down and dirty with the professional drinkers and the habitual crims and see what it is really like.
and if they any time left over they should read Sybil (The Two Nations) by Benjamin Disraeli for some real insight into th elives of working class people living on the fringes of society in the 19th century and who had never even heard of Jesus.
When the British Army called for volunteers for the Boer war the brass were absolutely appalled at the deformed humanity that crawled out of the London slums to claim new clothes and three squares a day.
