Herschel Walker is too stupid to be a U.S. Senator

  1. There's no such thing as 'too dumb to be in Congress.' Okay, you said Senator, which, admittedly, may be a higher bar than the House, but still...

  2. This isn't really better than him. Kind of a tie, I'd say.

  3. So...I think that Harris is the least intelligent VP in my lifetime (with Biden actually being the 2nd least intelligent, Pence being the craziest). Biden is arguably the least intelligent POTUS with Trump being the other candidate (who's also by far the craziest on top of having other terrible traits). I think both of them have experienced significant cognitive decline over the past decade. Anyways, I wouldn't go as far to say that any of these beforementioned people are stupid. Despite her gaffes and this random philosophical word salad, the intended message is no where near as dumb as many of the things Walker has said.

  4. I guess I was responding to the 'word salad' idea. Kamala is a fucking chef.
    Here's a nice op-ed talking about the leadership crisis:
    https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/generating-a-sense-of-crisis-so-people

    "the problem with this sort of governance and guidance by focus group tested meme-bite is that it rapidly runs out of control and becomes self-referential GIGO gibberish both devoid of sense and divorced from reality.

    pretty soon, not even they can tell if they are making sense.

    this golem rapidly escapes its master and takes on a life of its own, which, not unlike a virus, serves nothing but memetic replication. it’s not really seeking any sort of valid or chosen end state. rather it is elevating those who support whatever KPOP political craze has all the kiddies throwing their underwear on the stage this week.

    it does not plan or want or seek lofty (or any) societal goals. it just erects circular emotional and logical framings to perpetuate faddish following.

    this can codify into things that look like political movements, environmental philosophies, and social and moral crusades, but they aren’t. it’s just coat after coat of paint on the hull of a boat that has long since rusted to nothing: empty words signifying naught but the drive to pander and the drive to power.

    they lack any sound underpinnings and are instead a sort of meme hurricane sweeping across the warm oceans of outrage and need the feel meaningful. the vast convections of these societal storm systems do not spread enlightenment or provide solutions but rather suck all available energy into a vortex of destroying that which works in order to replace it with that which got the most likes on twitter."
