The pseudo-intellectual's guide

Dedicated to both professors, Glenn Loury and John McWhorter.  I have given up on consuming their publishing, for now at least.  Greatly based on this reason, but as well , there is more.  That whole  hurts my pretty brain thing?

My one major addition to this vid's substance?

How to tell if someone else is a pseudo-intellectual?  They call them self an intellectual.  

And just in case someone wants to believe I am just being jealous?  My dream job is not their gigs.  My dream job is being a writer/crew on some TV show like SNL, any of the major network late shows.  Basically any show that uses current affairs as the inspiration and topic source, as long as the show is sufficiently liberal.  And shot here in the Greater NYC area.

Fuck living anywhere else.  Unless and until I need to flee the country.  Which might be the case come 2025.  I have all but given up on America.  But that is a topic for another post.

Got any better ideas  Glenn?  

I am sure he doesn't.  Fuck the status quo!

The Needs of My Pretty Brain Demands it!

 To go on indefinite break from Glenn Loury.   His house negro act is too much for my pretty brain.  Particularly lately, as the SCOTUS has now gone full sedition mode.  There is an obvious line between interpreting the US Constitution, and rewriting it.  Them motherfuckers have crossed the line into sedition, far as I am concerned.  But I mostly digress.

I won't watch his vids, but I will scan the comments to see if he is getting properly flamed.  And this image serves that end quite nicely.  

And just over the weekend, I was explaining how having $10M is not being rich.  Not even close.  Not even a little rich.  I personally would never sell out for any amount of money, but  Loury comes cheap.  He likely isn't clearing $200,000.00 at Brown.  He ain't the Dept. Head. 

In theory, he could pull in a couple two three hundred thousand more in appearance fees.  But he isn't selling many books, nor is he likely making crazy money on line.  So he is living life merely approaching the lower of the upper bourgeois.  Merely being a lower millionaire these days is merely upper middle class in America.  So says  a large amount of the mere millionaires in America.  As I frequently say, if you are not really a master of the world, you are just a servant.  

But some servants are better paid than others.

So ya.  He is so the fuck far away from being actually rich  he is closer to being poor.  Anyway, I love this meme.
