Does anyone really give a damn about the upcoming summer Olympics in Tokyo?

And it might be time to cancel black holes.

 

The Olympics are Coming

The Olympics are coming to Japan. Are you excited?

Yeah, neither am I.

I have been losing interest in the Olympics since The US basketball team added professional players. I liked when it was only amateurs that competed in the Olympics. Most of the people competing had to win to get rich and most worked jobs outside of their training. Eddie the Eagle, who did the shi jump in the year I went to the Olympics is Calgary in 1988 was a brick layer. It was such a great story that he ended up rich even though he finished last in the competition. People were just thrilled that he didn’t fall during his jumps.

The Jamaican bobsled team was also a huge big deal. Those guys stories flew threw the Olympics. Everyone knew they didn’t have a chance but they were the most anticipated team. I remember them falling. Their story was ut into the fantastic moviw, Cool Runnings with John Candy.

But the Olympics also have those moments that I remember best. The US Hockey team beating the Soviet Union two weeks after losing 10-0. Mary Lou Retton winning the all-around gold medal in gymnastics.

Those days are long gone.

Now, Olympic athletes are already rich, professional athletes and whiney little bitches.

Now enter political correctness and the woke.

Maybe He Just Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Compete

Chelsea Wolfe,  trans female BMX bike rider, that means he’s a man competing in a female sport, said he had the goal of winning the Olympic gold medal just so he could burn and American flag on the podium.

He tweeted:

“My goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a US flag on the podium. This is what they focus on during a pandemic. Hurting trans children.”

Attached was an article about how the Trump administration ordered doctors to treat trans people who had the China virus should be treated based on their biological sex. I know, this is weird. A doctor should treat a man like he has the biology of a man. But that’s not the point of this.

He deleted the tweet, knowing it would haunt him as the Olympics come closer but, like I tell my kids, everything on the Internet is forever.

When asked about it, Wolfe stated to Fox News:

“Anyone who thinks that I don’t care about the United States is sorely mistaken. One of the reasons why I work so hard to represent the United States in international competition is to show the world that this country has morals and values, that it’s not all of the bad things that we’re known for. I take a stand against fascism because I care about this country and I’m not going to let it fall into the hands of fascists after so many people have fought and sacrificed to prevent fascism from taking hold abroad. As a citizen who wants to be proud of my home country, I’m sure as hell not going to let it take hold here.”

He said he was going to burn an American flag on the podium while the National Anthem is playing. I don’t think he should represent our country.

This isn’t the first time he has said anything controversial. Last year, Wolfe said on Facebook:

“I would never say that someone should explode the head of the president. That would be illegal. But I will say ‘with dynamite.’ Because that’s just a sentence fragment and doesn’t actually mean anything. It’s not necessarily related to the sentence that came before it.”

So, not only this guy who is trying to convince everyone he’s a a woman, he also hates the country and wants to kill Donald Trump. Glad to see this guy is representing the United States.

The United States Olympic Committee needs to pull this guy from the team.

Wonder Who’s Going to Win This Event.

Chelsea Wolfe is not the only trans woman competing.

Laurel Hubbard of New Zealand will be going to the Olympics and competing as a woman in the super heavyweight division.

• Hubbard is 43 years old and competed with the with the men 8 years ago when he decided to transition to a woman.
• Hubbard notably took silver in the 2017 world championships, sparking outrage from proponents of women’s sports and fellow athletes.

Responding to the controversy about how it was unfair that he be allowed to compete against women when he was a man for the first 35 years of his life, Hubbard said:

“As an athlete, all I can really do is block that out. If I try and take that weight on board, it just makes the lifts harder. All I can really do is just focus and lift.

“The science is evolving, and the position of the IOC is evolving too. What most people probably don’t realize is that I actually satisfy the requirements of the 2003 Stockholm consensus, which were the original rules that the IOC agreed upon to allow participation of people like myself. So I am not competing under a recent rule change. I am competing under rules which have been in place now for 14 years.”

Hubbard is allowed to compete because he is able to keep his testosterone to under 10 nanomole. Of course, that has been done just recently, when he was 35. I’m not sure how this affects his muscle mass or bone density. It doesn’t look like it has change his height and weight. And that’s what the competition is complaining about.

Belgian weightlifter, Anna Vanbellinghen, is not at all happy about it. She said:

“First off, I would like to stress that I fully support the transgender community, and that what I’m about to say doesn’t come from a place of rejection of this athlete’s identity. I am aware that defining a legal frame for transgender participation in sports is very difficult since there is an infinite variety of situations, and that reaching an entirely satisfactory solution, from either side of the debate, is probably impossible.

“However, anyone that has trained weightlifting at a high level knows this to be true in their bones: this particular situation is unfair to the sport and to the athletes.”

She has to show that she’s not a bigot and smoothly goes into that weird thing the Left doesn’t like…science.

She continued:

“So why is it still a question whether two decades, from puberty to the age of 35, with the hormonal system of a man also would give an advantage?

“I understand that for sports authorities nothing is as simple as following your common sense, and that there are a lot of impracticalities when studying such a rare phenomenon, but for athletes the whole thing feels like a bad joke.

“Life-changing opportunities are missed for some athletes — medals and Olympic qualifications — and we are powerless.”

Here, you can say she is getting a little more angry as she talks about it. Everything she is saying is true. What I would love to have heard from her that this is is sexist against biological women because it is. But trans bigotry (which this is not) is higher on the woke charts than sexism so Anna will not get any love from the Left. I know that women who have bitched about having to compete against men have been called bigots.

In the end, the best woman in sports ends up being a man.

I hope Laurel Hubbard wins the gold medal and break every female world record. That might make these woke idiots re-evaluate their stance on crap like this.

Black Holes…Cancelled

People just need to cancel everything. Including the universe.

In an article in the City Journal titled Down a Black Hole by Heather Mac Donald. I bet you already know where this article is going. Let’s just get to it.

Physicists at MIT and SUNY Stony Brook recently announced findings that the total surface area of two black holes was maintained after the two entities merged. While this research was a welcome confirmation of both Stephen Hawking’s work and the theory of general relativity, it failed to address a crucial matter: what were its racial implications?

Question: When did it become the job of an astrophysicist to analyze the racial implication of a black hole?

That is a lacuna that an astronomy course at Cornell University aims to prevent. “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos” asks the question, “Is there a connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness?” Anyone familiar with academia’s racial monomania knows the answer: of course there is! Though “conventional wisdom,” according to the catalog description of “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,” holds that the “‘black’ in black holes has nothing to do with race,” astronomy professor Nicholas Battaglia and comparative literature professor Parisa Vaziri know better.

Battaglia and Vaziri puncture the “conventional wisdom” by drawing on theorists such as Emory University English professor Michelle Wright. Wright’s book, The Physics of Blackness: Beyond the Middle Passage Epistemology, invokes “Newton’s laws of motion and gravity” and “theoretical particle physics” to “subvert racist assumptions about Blackness.” The Cornell course also studies music by Sun Ra and Outkast to “conjure blackness through cosmological themes.”

Remember last week, I made every aspect of my day racist? Here we are again. One can make anything racist.

First off, black are black because gravity is so strong that light cannot escape the pull. Black is the absence of all light. That is the definition of “black” to a physicist. “Black” people are not really black they’re dark brown. If they were black in the way of black holes, they would just be shadows along the landscape.

I also find it amazing we are taking astrophysics theory from a college English teacher who uses songs from Outkast to support her points.

Yeah, we should take this seriously.

In 1996, New York University physicist Alan Sokal published a paper, “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity,” in one of high theory’s holiest of shrines: Social Text. Sokal’s article drew on efforts among comparative literature and American studies professors to deploy scientific concepts toward a postmodern end: showing science to be a mere power play designed to silence “dissident or marginalized communities,” in Sokal’s words. “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity” cited such postmodern giants as Andrew Ross and Luce Irigaray on topics like “oppositional discourses in post-quantum science” and “gender encoding in fluid mechanics.” The paper itself proposed a new theory of quantum gravity that could serve as the basis for a “postmodern and liberatory science.”

Sokal’s paper was a hoax. Like the high-theory sources it cited, it mauled the underlying science while obscuring its scientific illiteracy with vast clouds of theorese. Yet it was accepted for publication, apparently without raising a scintilla of doubt among Social Text’s editors.

I remember this paper. Alan Sokal and a couple of other professors wanted to see if the could publish crazy papers that were politically correct just to see if it would be published. Guess what? It was.

He made the higher education soft sciences look foolish.

That’s what this article is about. The stupidity of the high academic classes. This class will actually give one science credits. Incredible.
