Apparently I don’t care enough about the suffering of other peoples in the world?
According to some idiots!
Oh I’m sorry, who died and made you GOD?!
Get in the bin with that patronising bullshit!
For fuckness’ sake!

Today I am remembering
The Emeritus Professor of Greek who asked me if I knew the meaning of the name of my own organisation (Allographic). He was very excited to tell me, even though I’d already answered in the affirmative, and in detail.
(I am also remembering quite how long it took me to launch the damned thing, because I spent so long agonising over the name.)
Enthusiasm I get. I grok with. Enthusiastically. Infodumping? Sharing nerdy passions? Absolutely. More of that please. This was, at best, unfortunate communication skills...

Proof that university is now a waste of money.
Driven by an exhausting fixation with political correctness in order to inflate the grades of ethnic minority university students, British universities are attacking and erasing the canon of Western knowledge and civilisation, rather than encouraging underperforming graduates to improve.
All of this is done in the name of ‘decolonisation’, which is utter nonsense. Historic English writers cannot colonise their own history in their own country.
These initiatives are also heralded under the ubiquitous banners of ‘inclusion’ and ‘diversity’, yet the implicit assumption here is that ethnic minority students in the UK are not as capable of thriving in a curriculum that centres the likes of Geoffrey Chaucer and William Shakespeare as white English students. As a member of an ethnic minority in Britain who grew up on these writers, I find this grossly insulting.
But even that is not the biggest problem. We live in England. We live in the West. This is the prime reason why our education system is centred on Western knowledge.
That is no different to a Chinese person who goes to school and spends most of their time learning their own national history and their place in the Oriental world. I bet they spend more time learning about Sun Tzu and their dynasties than they do on many of the things we prioritise in our own education system.
The West is not the only part of the world with a colonial history. China has one too. The West is not the only part of the world with ethnic minorities. China has ethnic minorities too. So the argument that ‘decolonisation’ is also good for international students who apparently need a ‘familiar’ education system falls apart.
In fact, I bet that Chinese universities are not implementing this kind of self-hating revisionism. Nor are other universities around the world. This is only possible in a Western world that has lost any pride in its identity and faith in its future.
Every student who lives in England should first know where our language comes from, where our literature comes from, should prioritise our greatest writers, and understandwhere our greatest ideas and contributions to society have come from. That prioritisation has nothing to do with colonialism and everything to do with common sense, basic education, civic duty, and a love of one’s own country.
It should be a source of pride, not something to be airbushed out of history just because the people who produced it were predominantly white. In order to do this, you have to prioritise first what came from this country, and second, what came from the development of Western civilisation.
There’s nothing wrong with learning about contributions from other cultures, but these universities are operating a zero-sum game where you have to denigrate Western knowledge and history in order to promote other people. You have to measure people’s contributions by their skin colour and gender, rather than assessing their impact on world history. You have to pretend that lesser known people from other cultures had a similar impact to well-known people from Western culture, simply to be ‘diverse’-- even though in many cases, the two are simply not comparable.
This ‘decolonisation’ project has nothing to do with education. A real university will teach the history as it was, not rewrite it to suit 21st century sensibilities. It is patronising and the antithesis of education.
I will now start telling everyone I know to skip university. It is not worth it financially. Worse, if you happen to be proud of what universities now attack as WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, and get this-- Democratic), then you’d be better off educating yourself, rather than allowing these universities to rewrite history on your behalf.

Your last name is a joke. (Scherz means Joke in German)
Hello yes I do in fact know what my own surname means. I am half German by descent and grew up in Switzerland and speak fluent German and lived in Germany for almost ten years and married a German (who for some strange reason didn’t want to take my name 😅).
Try being taken seriously on the phone when they ask who it is and you say anything followed by ‘Scherz’.
Ironically, nobody in my family—as far as I’m aware, and we’ve traced part of our family tree back several centuries—has ever run a joke shop or had any other on-brand occupation.

It’s astounding.
Despite being a grown-ass man, many people are all too quick to talk down to me as though I were a stupid child.
It’s astonishingly predictable and sickeningly disappointing stuff.
Ironic that a lot of these same people talk about the need to be kind to others, and the moment I do so much as breathe in their vicinity they start blathering at me in their condescension eternal like some jaded old woman.
Patronising and chastising me as if I were a disobedient childe.
Must be a neurotypical thing.
Even then, that doesn’t make it right.
So cut it out.
Starting yesterday.

also re last post i think a crucial part of treating your ace friends like you actually respect them is not acting like non-sexual content and child-friendly content are the same thing. which also means not assuming all stories and media aimed at adults need to contain sex (@ creators, take note). because it's shitty to be an adult and find that there is nothing out there written for someone like you and everyone's suggestions are always for children's media. there's nothing wrong with kidlit etc but sometimes, you know, you're an adult, you want stories that reflect the fact that you're an adult, and you want acknowledgement that adulthood and interest in sex are not synonyms. and likewise when you are writing non sexual content for an adult audience it sucks to have people assume it's meant to be for kids and to expect it to fulfil a purpose it wasn't made for

can all youtubers just let us.. die or something ??? Like pls do not bother talking about reality shifting if you're not gonna do actual research on it, and just go of some bs u found on 2020 shifttok. The only youtuber I've seen talk about reality shifting in a respectful light is strange aeons, but the comments on their video are what you'd expect on a shifting video on YouTube.
PLEASE JUST LET US FADE FROM RELEVANCY OMG

Also, since it's an election day again, I'm going to reiterate my opinion which really angers some people that spoiling your ballot is better than not going to the polling station at all. No it's not some grand defiant gesture that will change the course of politics, and it can't actually have any bearing on the outcome, but you're still going to the polling station and participating in the election. You'll be included in the voter turn out figures, so people, in particular the politicians, can see how many spoiled ballots there are in their area. Ultimately, they want your votes, so if they can see there's x number of people who are willing to participate in the voting but whose votes haven't gone to anybody, and if they have any brains, they will want to try and gain those votes next time around. Obviously if there are any candidates you can stomach the thought of, then vote for them, but spoiling your ballot is better than not voting at all
