Kevin D. Williamson Has Dispatch EnvyHis latest Twitter-esque snarky lukewarm take at The Corner: Elitist at Elitist University Wins Elitist Prize Oh I get it, this is "sarcasm," a very Elite form of humor that anyone can manage and which is ominpresent on the vulgar populist platform Twitter. And this is Kevin D. Williamson telling us that he considers himself a member of "The Elite," even if no one else agrees that his white-trash one-trick-pony fatass is Elite. From the Wall Street Journal:The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists for work advancing understanding of Earth's place in the cosmos--from the history of the universe since the Big Bang to the first discovery of a planet outside our solar system. Note that Kevin D. Williamson is playing the game the "I F***ing Love Science" crowd does -- by merely mentioning science, he believes himself to be self-identifying as a scientist. But notice how very vague he is in this post. The first half of the prize was awarded to a man for "for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology" -- well, which ones, precisely, Kevin? You don't know? You didn't even bother to read a more substantial article to find out? No, of course you didn't. The best part of Twitter Intellectual Signalling is the same best part of Twitter Virtue Signalling -- it requires no work whatsoever. Not even reading beyond the first two paragraphs of a blurb. You get to pretend to be a scientist just by saying I Fucking Love Science.
Oh right because conservatives are racists and hate foreigners. I get it.
Oh right because conservatives are benighted religious crazies. I get it. Harrumph, etc. Go fuck yourself, you bloated hugely-fat low-rent white-trash poser. And how does this fat pasty couch-potato suggest we in the Non-Elite elevate ourselves to his elite intellectual level? By watching more TV. No, seriously. I often lie to you, but I'm not lying about this. Conservatives Should Watch More Television He does know that the whole plot of Skyfall was set in motion by M cynically betraying the former agent? Who was himself serving patriotically, until his government viciously betrayed him? Not... not super-duper patriotic, really. More of a very superficial critique of patriotism and how patriotism (or any -ism) makes bastards of us all. The Walking Dead ends up being an extended exploration of Mancur Olson's "stationary bandit" and the tensions between democracy, the rule of law, and the practical necessities of physical security -- with an ode to property rights and free trade thrown into the bargain. This fat fuck sure can run his mouth real purty when he's making up excuses as to how watching 30 hours of TV per week is actually just a type of Continuing Education, huh? Ah well: Every addict spends a lot of mind-hours justifying his addiction. Breaking Bad was a reimagining of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a meditation on the seduction of evil, and it ends with the most forthright of confessions: "I did it for me. I did it because I liked it." You know what else really sells the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? The book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But reading iz hard. If a conservative social critic had tried to write a series about how to be an unhappy young woman, the result would have been something quite like Girls, or maybe Fleabag. The theme of Stranger Things is not so much "Winter is coming" but "Winter is already here, and always has been, if you know how to look." Are their any shows this fat wife-sharer doesn't watch religiously? And now, having gushed about his enthusiasm for current TV, let Kevin D. Williamson strum the mystic chords of memory and start talking up forty year old TV shows.
Watch Three's Company so you can get educated about changing social mores!!! The immediate postwar years, with the optimism of ascendance tempered by memories of war’s horrors and the privations of the Great Depression, were dominated by a few return-to-normalcy family shows (Father Knows Best, Ozzie and Harriet), a remarkable profusion of westerns, and variety programs hosted by the likes of Ed Sullivan, Jack Benny, and Milton Berle. Perry Como (of Chesterfield Supper Club) and The Lone Ranger made the leap from radio to television. Now he's just leafing through his extensive collection of vintage TV Guides. I can't quote the whole thing, but it's all this bad, and it's all entirely pointless. This "elite intellectual" just wants to tell you that he really, really, really, really loves watchin' TV and not satisfyin' women. But he can't be bothered to discover what the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded for. He wants us to know he cares very much about this, but can't be fussed about actually caring about it much. Oh well-- maybe there'll be a special episode of Dancing With the Stars tonight that explains it. A Dance Tribute to Cosmology, maybe. By the way, I'm looking that up myself. So far, no one in the media seems to understand what that part of the prize was actually for. Big shock. I think it's probably about the large scale structure of the universe, and how that was determined by the conditions present shortly after the Big Bang. Specifically, how ultrasmall quantum fluctuations in the "hot dense state" (hey, that's from the Big Bang Theory theme song, so elite intellectual Kevin Williamson might really dig this) of primordial stuff resulted, after a period of cosmic inflation in which spacetime expanded rapidly, in the distribution of clusters of matter -- in huge clusters of of galaxies connected by webs, "filaments," of gas -- and large voids of near-nothingness in between. I'll let you know when an article gets beyond telling me it's "about space or something." The other half of the prize is easily understood -- it went to two people who identified the first exoplanet, the first planet detected outside our solar system.
