A fools’ game: The ever-morphing versions of Marxist ideology

 

Today I posted a meme quoting Kevin Sorbo which read, “Instead of diversity hiring how about giving the job to the best person?” The question he poses ignores the hideous Cultural Marxist ideology behind Critical Theory's grievance studies and D.E.I. since the dedicated Neo-Marxist fully intends to destroy capitalism because one of the best ways to do so is to undermine the competence required to make private industry successful.

A Facebook acquaintance who himself grew up in the Fascistic social collectivism of Portugal replied, “As a society we have been forced to accept mediocrity. It's no longer a situation where people are encouraged to learn and get better so that they'll be able to compete and get accepted... or win, rather, if you can't meet the standards you are encouraged to file a grievance to get the standards lowered to meet your lack of qualifications. And God help you if you complain that someone less qualified than you got hired or promoted ahead of you if that someone happens to be a member of a visible minority. But I'm sure I'm not telling you what you don't know...”

I replied, “John Rebelo again, that is because people fail to identify the source of the problem. Cultural Marxist Critical Theory lies behind all of this. Therefore, the job of any true freedom fighter is not to attack the symptoms of the illness, which in this case is mediocrity, but the source of the problem using first principles thinking. Deconstruct the ideology by understanding it better than your opponent or it will deconstruct you!”

First principles thinking is a systematic approach to problem-solving that involves breaking down complex problems into their most basic, fundamental parts. It's about understanding the core elements of a problem and building up from there, rather than relying on assumptions or conventional wisdom. Here's a breakdown of how it works:

1. *Identify and Define the Problem*: Clearly understand what you're trying to solve.

2. *Break Down the Problem*: Dissect the problem into its fundamental principles. These are the basic truths that are universally accepted and cannot be deduced any further.

3. *Analyze and Synthesize*: Examine these principles to find connections or patterns that can help you understand the problem better.

4. *Reconstruct the Problem*: Using these insights, reconstruct the problem and explore innovative solutions that weren't apparent before.

This method encourages deep thinking and can lead to creative and original solutions. It's been used by many great thinkers and innovators, including Elon Musk and Aristotle, to solve complex issues and create groundbreaking ideas¹².

It's not just a technique but a mindset that challenges the status quo and fosters a culture of inquiry and innovation. By applying first principles thinking, you can cut through the noise of what's always been done and discover new ways to approach challenges¹².

We are being confronted by anomalous patterns hitherto unseen:

Humans are naturally wired to recognize patterns and irregularities in their environment. This ability has been crucial not merely to our survival, it also allows us to create stable civilizations which can predict and prepare for future events based on past experiences to avoid unwanted events which will negatively impact social cohesion, health, our children’s education, and do damage to productivity, trade, and the economy. When something deviates from the expected pattern or norm—an anomaly—it will often trigger a sense of unease or discomfort. Which is why so many feel unsettled in this post COVID period when so many of the questions surrounding the official narrative remain unaddressed or worse, are being subjected to an enormous, coordinated international cover-up. Such anomalies signal danger or uncertainty as to how our political and bureaucratic class in league with international players from unelected bodies such as the W.E.F., other international organizations heavily influenced by illiberal foreign interference such as China, the E.U. and W.H.O. and its parent organization the U.N.

The need for statistical analysis of our ideological crisis:

You can only manage what you measure is an unerring principle of good governance and fiduciary duty, which is the legal duty of a fiduciary to act in the best interests of the beneficiary, in this case the citizenry. One is therefore forced to ask why has this essential requirement of oversight and good government failed so miserably?

In statistics, mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency; they are ways to find the center or average of a set of numbers. Here's a simple explanation of each:

- *Mean*: This is what most people commonly refer to as the average. You calculate it by adding up all the numbers in a set and then dividing by the count of numbers. For example, for the set [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the mean is \( (1+2+3+4+5) / 5 = 3 \).

- *Median*: The median is the middle number in a sorted list of numbers. If there's an odd number of observations, the median is the number right in the middle. If there's an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. For example, in the set [1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9], the median is 6, which is the fourth number. But for [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], the median is \( (3+4) / 2 = 3.5 \).

- *Mode*: The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a data set. A set of numbers may have one mode, more than one mode, or no mode at all. For instance, in the set [1, 2, 2, 3, 4], the mode is 2 because it appears twice, unlike the other numbers which appear only once.

In summary, the mean is the total sum divided by the count, the median is the middle value, and the mode is the most frequent number. Each of these measures can give you a different perspective on the data set you're looking at.

The term "Six Sigma" comes from a statistical concept used in manufacturing³. When a production process is Six Sigma, also known as 6 standard deviations away from the specification limits where problems and defects are produced, it means it is a very capable process and only produces up to 3.4 defects out of a million opportunities³.

If an "imode" (which could refer to a peak, mode, or most common value in a distribution) is developing out near the wings of the Six Sigma distribution, it suggests that there is a significant amount of data or occurrences far from the mean. In the context of Six Sigma, this could indicate a high number of defects or errors, which is certainly troubling.

Six Sigma methodologies aim to reduce defects and variations in processes to improve quality and consistency². Anomalies or significant deviations from the norm (the "wings" of the Six Sigma distribution) can signal potential issues or inefficiencies in the process¹². These could be due to a variety of factors, such as changes in input materials, equipment malfunctions, or human error¹².

Therefore, when an imode develops near the wings of Six Sigma, it's a cause for concern because it indicates a departure from the expected pattern and a potential decrease in process efficiency and product quality¹². It's a signal that the process may need to be reviewed and adjusted to bring it back into alignment with Six Sigma standards¹². 😊

In light of this let us examine the phrase which was so often used to force people to accept anomalies that pose an inherent threat to society: “The New Normal”

The phrase "arguing statistically the new normal" refers to a situation where someone uses statistical data to argue that a recent trend or change is now the "new normal". This can potentially lead to a logical fallacy if not handled correctly.

One common fallacy related to this is the **Misleading Vividness** or **Hasty Generalization** fallacy¹². This occurs when someone bases a broad conclusion on a small or unrepresentative sample size. For example, if there's a sudden increase in a particular type of event, and someone argues that this is now the "new normal", they might be committing this fallacy. They are drawing a conclusion from a potentially temporary or random fluctuation, not a statistically significant trend¹².

Another related fallacy is the **Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc** (After this, therefore because of this) fallacy¹². This is when someone assumes that because one event followed another, the first event caused the second. If someone sees a new trend and assumes it's caused by a recent event or change, they might be committing this fallacy¹².

Finally, there's the **Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy**⁴, which occurs when someone focuses only on the data that supports their argument, while ignoring data that contradicts it⁴. If someone is arguing for a "new normal", they might be cherry-picking data that supports their claim, while ignoring data that doesn't⁴.

In all these cases, it's important to remember that correlation does not imply causation, and that statistical data needs to be interpreted carefully and correctly to avoid logical fallacies¹²⁴. 😊

A fools’ game: The ever-morphing versions of Marxist ideology:

Cultural Marxism is an unfounded fool’s game which leads to cultural genocide. There’s not a single statistical, demonstrably provable, logical, or consistent aspect of applied Cultural Marxist Critical Theory. In fact, it deconstructs itself due to its inherent contradictions. Therefore, we must outwit our ideological opponents by understanding not merely the impracticality of the ideology in theory but in exposing the disastrous outcomes of its application. First, what we must do is to never cede so much as an inch of ground to their preferred narrative, rather we must reject it out of hand. Let us examine why the NDP/LPC coalition is a Neo-Marxist criminal cartel aimed at further marginalizing the dispossessed while gutting the middle class.

In an article from the Frazer Institute entitled, “Canadian living standards declining with no end in sight” which appeared in the Hill Times, May 24, 2024

According to a recent poll, two-thirds of Canadians believe the economy is headed in the wrong direction. Clearly, there’s a disconnect between economic statistics, which show the Canadian economy is growing, and the experiences of Canadians who feel like they’re falling behind. In reality, Canadians are on the cusp of the worst decline in living standards in 40 years, with no end in sight.

When measured in aggregate, the Canadian economy is growing albeit weakly. In 2023, the economy grew by 1.1 per cent, after adjusting for inflation. And so far this year, it grew by 0.5 per cent in January and 0.2 per cent in February. But these statistics don’t account for changes in the population. It’s possible for the aggregate economy to grow because more people are coming to Canada (i.e. immigration) while per-person income levels decline. This happens when the growth in the overall economy is insufficient to account for the growth in the number of people in the economy. And unfortunately for Canadians, this is exactly what’s happening now.

In 2023, Canada’s population grew by 3.2 per cent or nearly 1.3 million people—the highest annual population growth rate since 1957, and nearly three times the rate of inflation-adjusted economic growth.

According to a new study, from the second quarter of 2019 (well before COVID) to the end of 2023, Canadians experienced a decline in living standards, as measured by per-person GDP (inflation-adjusted). Except for one fiscal quarter of reprieve, this 18-quarter period represents the second-longest period of per-person GDP decline over the last four decades (exceeded only by the 21-quarter decline from the late-1980s to 1994). But critically, the current decline (based on the latest data available for the end of 2023) has not yet ended and may extend into 2024.

Moreover, the percentage decline in living standards (again, as measured by per-person GDP) is the third-steepest of any decline over the last four decades at -3.0 per cent (exceeded only by declines from the late-1980s to the early-1990s and from 2008 to 2009, which both eclipsed 5.0 per cent). But again, the current decline has not yet ended and we could see continued declines in living standards when the 2024 data is released. Simply put, Canadians could be experiencing the worst decline in living standards of the last 40 years.

Several leading economists have already raised alarm bells over our economic decline, including Carolyn Rogers, senior deputy governor of the Bank of Canada, who recently said it was time to “break the glass” to solve Canada’s productivity crisis. Unfortunately, despite the calls for genuine reform, the federal and provincial governments this past budget season largely maintained the status quo and continued to borrow and spend, with no government demonstrating its intransigence more that the Trudeau government.

In conclusion:

It might be appropriate to note that something similar but not as severe occurred under Pierre Trudeau whose Marxist sympathies were celebrated by every social democracy around the Globe. His premiership led to enormous interest rate hikes in the 1980’s where many lost their homes, just as we are seeing today. Therefore, our ideological crisis has been long in the making since for too long Canadians failed to realize the threat posed to Canada by Cultural Marxist ideologues in our universities, in politics, and in our enormous and bloated bureaucracy. And there is nothing “normal” about our social and economic situation today. This anomaly is an “imode” warning us of impending disaster. We must dare to use first principles thinking and six-sigma quality methods not merely in manufacturing but also in ensuring that our governing class takes their fiduciary duty seriously or suffer the wrath of the citizenry, and not just on election day. These corrupt Neo-Marxists must be held accountable in a court of law.

Ecclesiastes 5:8 King James Version

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
