More Slipshod, Candy Assed, Shallow, Silly, Mean Thinking, by the Owl.

 But first things first.  I have to take a break from posting about her.  But my problem is, I have so little tolerance for GOPNazi bullshit, I can't even handle FNC, these days.  I do go to Real Clear Politics. But . . . and have I said this here yet?  Not only stories about bozo, all other GOPNazis seem like deliberate click bait.  Even when the headline is a direct quote.  Not twisted out of context.   And I am cutting down on even clicking on any clickbait.  And I go to the Owl's blog, just to get a peek of what the people to the right of me are saying.  (But I am back to ignoring the white supremacist trash in her comment crew.)  Anyway.  I will take at least a week off posting re her brain droppings, starting after this post.

And this latest shit seems to my mind, nothing better than pre adolescent stupid shit, from the Owl.  I say that, because.  Instead of recognizing the limitations of her data set, as being woefully inadequate evidence upon which to make a broad statement.   She makes a broad statement about a large population, based on one person's quote.

Is this an example of the reasoning, lack of skills, of a dull witted sixth grader or seventh?  In any case, it is below what an eight grader student should be capable of.

Never mind the dullness of her  . . . let us not call it analysis.  That is too fancy a word for what seems to my mind to be a knee jerk, bigoted, old people smear of the kids.  I love the kids. A lot of those kids are actually smarter than a lot of people over the age of 70.  Shit, make that over the age of 40.   Bad enough to be so shallow to smear a whole bunch of kids based on one kid's quote?  But to get shit all that wrong?  But I have called out Owl's seeming lack of understanding of the most basic and obvious bits about human psychology.  And I mean above and beyond the mere onanistic  (not in the fleshy parts sense,) tiresomeness of looking at everything from one's own narrow point of view, and expecting others to share that, or be some how wrong, or inferior. I know I am being critical here. But there is a point I am leading to.

What the Owl does, or more is the point, failed to do, is take into account the actual reality of what it could have felt like, to have lived through the events at Columbia U., last night.   Shit.  I only started in the afternoon, listening to the campus station, then when shit really started going down, I was watching one of the local NYC news report web sites, for the video.  And just being a remote viewer, I went to bed, perhaps not shaken, but disturbed by what I saw.

So,  I am not only calling out shallowness, and lack of thoughtfulness on the part of the Owl.  She seems to lack basic human empathy.   At least here, with some kid who had just lived through that shit a few hours ago.  I have done some marching and protesting, and walking a picket line, in my years.  Never have I been caught up in shit like that.  Like I saw last night, on the web feed.

But it seems either the Owl was so lacking in empathy for others she just did not think.  That kid likely is still some kind of traumatized.  Or she don't give a fuck about other's people lived trauma. Some such.

She never seems to have thought about that kid, maybe she should not judge her?  Never mind, make some baseless generalization of a much larger population of kids, based on what this likely still cranked up and emotionally stressed kid was able to do and say, or not do and say, after that trauma.

My take. 

Ok.  Owl is on a blackout, for at least a week, starting now.

Not Just The Owl.

Not only is the Owl engaging in deep, weird speculation about the intent of Gov. Noem, writing about killing the puppy.

Can I prove I am right and they are wrong?  No.  But I believe in the likely operation of Occam's Razor, over some idiot's ability to read another idiot's mind.

I think the simplest explanation is she thinks she is a perfectly normal person, and anyone who judges her for what she thinks, says, or does is the weirdo.  The hater.  The woke menace.  What ever other criticism her twisted, seeming to me at least, sociopathic mind can consider.

Yeah. That makes sense to me.

What's Worse Than Dunning-Kruger? What Ever is Wrong With The Owl.

 

Dunning-Kruger is that thing when dumb people are so dumb, they don't know they are dumb.

What do you call it when someone who has accomplishment, and decades of experience in a highly technical, demanding field, like law, doesn't know their limitations?  If there is a separate word for that, I admit I do not know it.  That is me  knowing my limitations.

Anyway. Far as I know, Owl ain't go no real trial experience.  That is leading to her limitations.  As all litigators, even we former ones, know, humans tend to overrate their ability to read minds.  And here  (above) see her try, and very badly, to read someone's mind.  

Now in fairness, her first selection is not bat shit crazy.  The other two options  are pretty much cray.

At least No. One sees to be a plausible consideration for an ambitious politician, hoping to be picked to be VP nominee.  The other two are crack pipe theories.  That doesn't mean there is no chance of them being true.  Anything is possible!  Point is  Owl  just pulled it out of her . . .  near by air.  It's not thoughtful or evidence based.  It's a wild guess.  Not a sign of intelligence.  Just a dumb assed wild guess.

Some people are more willing to publish crack pipe theories out loud than I am.  And that again  seems dumb assed to me.  I will end here.

So True

 

This Is So Fucking Stupid.

 Yo!  Owl! Ever hear about this thing called Psychology?

Psychiatric Medicine?

Mental disease, and or dysfunction?

This is so fucking stupid.  In any way drawing a link between some person who clearly was.  To use a term of art.  Fruity CoCo Puffs cray, to the ordinary emotional immaturity and lack of self control that admittedly.  It affects people all over the political compass.  That is plain stupid.

In the near past, I have called out Owl for believing  bozo, the ex POTUS wannabe again, of being, for lack of a better way to say it.  A rational actor.

I could make a crack about her herself not being a rational actor.  But I will go softly, and instead say.  She is not only an eccentric.  But I would guess, in denial of that.

My guess.  And my opinion.  And I lack the creds to diagnosis anyone.  But I know someone who sets themself on fire, is under way more mental distress than someone who hates liberals because . . . reasons.  And supports bozo because . . . reasons.

And someone who can't tell the difference?  Can't tell an easy difference.

 

I Am Not Going To Call The Owl a Racist,

 But personally, I suspect a lot of the criticism of VP Harris to be racist.  Particularly, when it's about trivial shit.  Particularly, when also about her cognitive ability, fitness for office.  All that shit.

The Owl.  Who's functioning I find to be extremely eccentric as a default, and flat out bewildering, time and again?  She has chosen to jump on the bandwagon of people giving Harris shit about some likely mostly ad lib remarks about women's college basketball.

Now to be fair.  I do not consider VP Harris to be at her best ad libbing.  But the racist assholes accusing her of word salad or worse are just shit talking her for their own amusement or what not.  VP Harris seems to just come across as a regular person, thinking out loud, when she talks off script.

Thinking out loud is not the same a working a script, people!

She is an experienced lawyer.  And she was a killer in the senate hearing rooms.  When she is all prepped she is a force to be reckoned with.  But in ordinary discourse?  She comes across like ordinary people.  Bright ordinary people, yea.  But she does not seem to have the rare gift of blarney.

She doesn't seem to have that ability that Obama and Bill Clinton had, with just talking and communicating very well to people off the cuff.   Most people don't. But hey.  I have an earned degree in Theatre.  I used to do improv exercises.  Most people never have.  Oh.  And the kind of legal and professional career I had, threw me into situations where I had to adapt and improvise.  Such as when I was a lobbyist. Some days I got to stick to my script.  Some days, I literally did speed lobbying. Which is  having a prepare elevator pitch, but being prepped for any of a number of questions about the bill at issue.  Or other stuff the legislators could ask.  

Oh.  But none of that is the real point.  That is.  VP Harris' sport is tennis, not basketball.  You fucking haters!

Apparently, She Doesn't Know Shit About Psychology.

 Ann Althouse, the blogger I call OWL, is at it again.  Within the past few days, I called her out for the grievous error in assuming bozo, the ex president, behaves like a rational person. I say that because he has a well documented record of behaving irrationally.  Or at least like a bratty, bully child.

Her latest failure to grasp the most easily understood psychological truth?  That other people not only can and do think differently than she does.  That there is no reason anyone should think as she does about many things.

This incident involves her posting about the 28 y.o. 

Dutch Woman Chooses Euthanasia Due To Untreatable Mental Health

The Owl's own remarks to my mind, shows a total lack of ability to emphasize.  Now in my past, I was a family court lawyer.  An I had so many clients with mental health issues, I know from having seen it myself.  Severe mental dysfunction is really a thing of suffering.  

Euthanasia is legal in Holland.  Her docs says there isn't a damn thing they can do for  her  (except maybe pump her full of the kinds of drugs that will turn her into a zombie, and keep her as a zombie for ever.)  She says her life is unbearable.  And I believe her.  Never minding for now, the type of toxic personal entitlement to believe one has the right to judge someone else's mental suffering?  It's the taking of the personal medical, and making that a matter for public comment, I am more decrying, here.  Yeah.  It's a news story now because, reasons.  But I want to say that this is why I believe personal medical choses belong to that person, only.  I don't think Owl is making any public policy argument here.  Her wrong is in thinking her opinion about this means shit.

Now for my ugly experience with someone with BPD.  She was prone to performative self harm,  Playing with razor blades on her arms in a way guaranteed not to kill her.  And her emotional turmoil was of the kind, that I totally believe she lacks a real conscience, and enjoys fucking other people over. 

She not only yet lives,  Her job is being a public defender for the mentally ill.   Isn't it ironic?

But yeah.  Way I understand it, lots of people with BPD never learn to embrace the evil.  More likely it is they just can't cope with the chaos.  I go back to my premise.  People don't all think the same.  And other people should not have to experience what I have, witnessing a full blown mental meltdown, to get that.

I had a client who's Bi Polar Disorder meltdown in open court, was so ugly and raw, some of my fellow layers came over to me and comforted me.  Cause family court lawyers know.  All we can do is encourage our more dysfunctional clients to keep with the treatments, and ask the docs to change the meds when they don't seem to work.  We were more helpless than the doctors.  And when the doctors say it's a hopeless case?  Damn.  Just damn.
