The Right Profile

A friend of the blog writes:
Interested in who gets an interview for this
I’m gonna guess the credentials are entirely social.
And that the interview sounds like something from Animal Farm.

Interesting that a useless, non-productive area of study like Political Science is “one of the college’s largest academic departments”. I guess those left-wing nut-jobs don’t just hatch out fully formed.
The required qualifications also seem to be strongly biased against people of lesser abilities and experience. Or need I mention little motivation? Unmotivated dumba55es also need a chance. Besides these dumba55es might just be able to communicate with others of similar abilities and experience in ways that not even only moderately capable people are able to.

I like the notion that you can hire someone to build community among professors and such. Yeah, that’ll work well, have a punk kid come in with a BA in something or other studies telling guys with earned doctorates what to do.

Political Science™ is a rapidly growing field because in the future progressives envision every Dept in every corporation AND every Government office will need to have a properly credentialed Zampolit to maintain indoctrination and ideological discipline, especially among the lumpenproletariat. Even small businesses with 10 or more employees will be required to have an full time on staff Zampolit.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Mac and Mitch:
Have you paid your party dues this month comrade?
Did you speak up more than once at the last party meeting comrade?
You did attend the last party meeting, didn’t you comrade.
Wait, did I just hear you complain about waiting in line for your food and gas rations? What is your name please, comrade?

The past year has been a proof of concept for enlisting volunteer/astroturf enforcers (lets call them Karens) to coordinate with established Fed, state, city, county, and corporate Zampolit echelons (lets call them Public health and HR officials). Clearly it has worked, now when next the public safety is threatened, not by SARS-Cov-2 but by such catastrophic health crises like; a) guns, b) cars, c)propane, d)fuel oil, e) red meat, f) racism, g)global warming, etc managing policy compliance clearly will not be that much of a challenge.

Speaking(yesterday) of SciFi writer Connie Willis, her book Bellwether is certainly pertinent to this subject.

On these lines, the University of California system is now eliminating SAT and ACT scores–the only halfway objective criteria for admission they have–as a criteria for selecting students. It was nice knowing you, Cal. God help us if one of these “engineering studies” students ends up designing a bridge or airplane.

Geez, bike, any failure involving a CA Engineering Studies graduate will actually be the fault of DJ Trump, the new Emmanuel Goldstein.
