Harvey Weinstein Is in Treatment — but Defiant Mogul Is ‘Not Listening to Anyone,’ Says Source Harvey Weinstein doesn’t seem to be taking sex rehab seriously "There is something deeply worrisome about this kind of flattening process, both for what it says about those who never spoke up until now and for what it says about our inability to grasp the complexity of the human condition. We wonder about trolling on the internet, but our press encourages this in its tabloid-style piling on of reporting—in its inability to contextualize or restrain itself in the face of the public appetite for more of the same." More below. Welcome to human nature 101, rube. If we were to go back 15,000 years, we would have seen something "worrisome" what we see today is not much. 15,000 years ago, when the psychopath was caught, I doubt there was much left to talk about. The man, it is nearly always a man, was cut off and shunned from the community. Alone in the wild with no other to help or support him, he was sentenced to a slow painful death probably by starvation or disease, unless found first by a polar bear, or another large predator.
While to a human, 15,000 years is a tremendous amount of time to evolution is an eye blink. We are still those same people with their same human nature. "I am upset by what is happening in our country today. I don’t like the mean-spirited way our president behaves and expresses himself. I don’t like the way much of the press, both on the right and the left, seems intent on smug, simplistic reporting. I don’t like the way gestures, such as showing exuberance or seeming disrespect on the football field, have been blown up to mean something more or other than they should. I don’t like the way some college students have become self-righteous know-it-alls, claiming to be traumatized by words and texts. And I don’t like the way many teachers have been made to feel they must toe a party line and walk on eggshells. This is not the way to nurture democracy, fairness and human compassion. Get Harvey Weinstein out of the newspapers and into the courts. If convicted, punish him as the law requires, but remember that he, like all of us, is a human being. We have forgotten this about anyone who has been labeled our opposition, and this has made us a meaner and ultimately more dangerous country. Ms. Cohen is a professor of English at Drexel University, where she is dean of the Pennoni Honors College." Mon Dieu, you are clueless, Ms. Cohen aren't you. Universities created Trump with their monomaniacal focus on postmodernist progressivism and neo-marxism. The great American middle has had enough and hired Trump to hammer the living Shite out of the Universities and the academics who call them home. I didn't think you'd like it, and, I frankly don't care. You and your lot have had a very long time to modify or fix this problem. Instead, you've spent the past 30 years making it worse. Sit down and eat your ShiteSandwich, you made it. As for the students, those are made by the likes of you. I know nothing of your reputation, but the Academe is a sewer, you are part of the sewer, and the effluent you move are the students, own them. Third, you've peeved me because your article is nothing but a whinge about the mote in my eye and the eyes of the Average Joe in America. It is the BEAM in your eye which no one can take their eyes from. "1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Book of Matthew ch. 7 Or to put it another way, "physician heal thy self." Luke 4: 23. Address your conditions and problems before you address ours.
