Supplementary #MagazineUKTheSpectatorPatrickWest "Many on the left decry with airy disdain that complaints of 'cancellation' and 'wokery' are just antediluvian grunts of conservatives who don't like, or don't understand, the modern world - with its new, strange manners concerning matters race and gender. Then there are the shopkeeper-type conservatives, who think the culture wars are all a silly hoo-ha about pronouns, toilet usage, dramas about Cleopatra and the Royal Family as seen on TV. They scold that we should be properly concerned with material materials: the cost of living, inflation, mortgage payments, industrial disputes, the future of the Conservative party. Both conclusions, from the complacent left and bean-counting right, are based on misapprehensions. They derive from a double falsehood. The culture wars are really taking place, whether the left likes or not. And the culture wars are a bread-and-butter issue, whether the right likes or not.

Context #ConspiracyTheory_TartarianEmpire i.e. "the pseudohistorical 'nation' of Tartaria has developed a cult following on social media. Supposedly, this country was a grand and culturally-rich empire, found in the area today recognised as Central Asia and parts of Europe. More fantastical strands of the theory add suggestions of Tartaria's advanced technology, Tartarian buildings buried under modern cities as far as North America, or its population of giants. Believers seek 'evidence' for its existence in seemingly mismatched architecture found across Europe and Asia, as well as references to 'Tartary' or 'Tartaria' on historical maps. Historians have since explained this to be a name given to various regional ethnic groups by outsiders. The theory concludes with the view that modern European powers conspired to cover up Tartaria, which was destroyed in a mud flood, and replace the idyllic civilisation with a globalised, degenerated society that they could control. ... Tartaria, as harmless as it may seem, has been used by Russian ethnonationalists to support an expansion of Russian land and the supposed 'supremacy' of Russians. Pseudohistory has been historically deployed by extremists to justify reclaiming certain areas and expelling others, oftentimes accompanied by suggestions of ethnic or racial 'purity'." https://gnet-research.org/2023/02/15/the-dangers-of-pseudohistorical-conspiracy-theories/, which references Abbie Richards' [Wikipedia] 'interactive conspiracy chart': https://conspiracychart.com/ #PoliticsNationalismRussian #PoliticsNationalismEthno #BeliefPseudosciencePseudohistory
Supplementary #MagazineUSPopMattersRobHorning "The Internet has ushered in something of a golden age for autodidacts, because it provides both the free information and the sheltered universe necessary for autodidacts to thrive. Autodidacticism does not purify education; it's just self-protection. And it easily slips into dilettantism, where one explores a subject only up to the point where it requires some discipline. Autodidacticism is probably as much about miserliness and fear as it is about curiosity -- it's often an attempt to amass a kind of theoretical power from knowledge while preventing oneself from ever having any occasion to test it. It's an expression of a fantasy about knowledge -- that it is not socially created but is instead laden with inherent value, like gold, and can be possessed and cherished in isolation. Autodidacts withdraw knowledge from the social circuits and contexts that make it useful and meaningful -- that facilitate the exchange and syntheses that produce knowledge -- and hoard it, using it to seal themselves off completely from the judgments [sic] of peers" (31 October #2006_). https://www.popmatters.com/the-dangers-of-autodidacticism-2495732019.html #MetaphorDissenterRebelOutsider #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteAutodidactDilettantism
And #MagazineUS3QuarksDailyJustinSmith "why, oh why, would anyone choose the parasitic social role of the self-trained loner philosopher, who enjoys none of the social capital of the professional, and who inevitably will be unable to communicate with anyone whose opinion carries any weight at all in society, never having learned the appropriate behavioral and lexical cues that make communication possible? What are the social factors that make these men (and they are always men) possible?" (30 October 2006). https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2006/10/selected_minor_-6.html
