Adolt Edumacation

I was reading through Power Line yesterday and came across this particularly hilarious indictment of the American education system:

The money quote from Brian “I totally got shot down in a helicopter in Afghanistan” Williams had to be, “Don’t tell us if you’re ahead of us on the math”.

Well, seeing as I have a bit of background in the subject (and unlike Mr. Williams, I actually have the verified credentials to prove it), let’s actually do the MAFF.

Item the first: Hizzoner Duh Mayuh, Li’l Mikey (((Bloomberg))), spent an estimated $448 million on ads during his hopelessly failed campaign. While that certainly isn’t $500 million, it’s not horribly far off either.

To use a golfing analogy – if you were a golfist who insisted on ruining a perfectly good morning walk by playing a game with a golf bat, and you swung at a ball and hit it at your local club, you could land that ball within about 30 feet of the hole and call it a home run, by the same logic that magically turns $448 million into $500 million.

But I digress. Slightly.

Item the second: there are, as of the time of writing, 329,365,994 (give or take about 100, roughly) people across the entire United States of America.

Divide the first number by the second, and what do you get? (Hint: It’s not a large number.)

You get $1.3602 per person.

Now, I am certainly no mathematical savant. But that looks like quite a lot less than $1 million per person. In fact, it looks like very nearly $1 MILLION LESS.

Actually, how much money would Hizzoner have to spend in order to give every single person in the USA $1 million?

Well, that also is not particularly difficult. It comes to $329,365,994,000,000.

That’s $329 TRILLION.

To put that into perspective, the economic output of the ENTIRE WORLD in 2019 was roughly US$89 trillion.

So, in order to do what Brian Williams and the wokerati on Twitter thought Li’l Mikey should have done, Hizzoner would have had to spend very roughly 3.5 times ALL OF THE ECONOMIC OUTPUT OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD ON THE PLANET, just to give every American $1 million.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the results of a government-run education system with Common Core maths.

It is a really sad state of affairs when the world’s most powerful economy, country, and people, have such abysmally low standards in mathematics and reading. In fact, if you look at results from standardised test scores from around the world, American students perform catastrophically badly:

And actually, the only reason why the USA sits that high on the OECD tables is because American students can, by and large, read. Given the impact of diversity and immigration from lower-IQ nations, though, even that dubious distinction is in danger.

What would it take to bring the USA back up the rankings?

Well, a good start would be the privatisation of education, or at least the devolution of standards away from the Federal government.

There was a time when Americans were the most literate and educated people in the world. That was in the 19th Century, when Americans were taught reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic by their local schoolmasters, parents, and church community leaders. In the cities, schooling was largely private or funded by local taxes. As a result of this localised effect, where parents and children had a direct say in how their communities were taught, the American population rapidly evolved into a highly educated one (for its size and geographical distribution), and a highly literate one as well.

Americans were readers, once upon a time. That has long since fallen away; the average American barely reads anything anymore, which is a deeply depressing state of affairs in and of itself.

Turning to the wider question of the Daemoncratic primary races, as our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) has pointed out, the fact that Hizzoner’s campaign went nose-first straight into the ground, so fast and so hard, confirms precisely what many of us had long suspected:

Money can buy you a lot. But it cannot buy you a personality.

We should not underestimate the threat and the danger posed by Hizzoner and the man’s essentially unlimited funding. Including today, there are 247 days left until the general election. Michael Bloomberg is worth over $62 BILLION. He is one of the twenty richest men on the entire planet.

He could give the Daemoncrats $10 MILLION every single DAY from now until the exact day of the election, out of his own pocket, and he would still be worth roughly $60 billion afterwards.

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, is still very much the odds-on candidate to win the general election, and in a true TRUMPSL!DE at that.

But he absolutely should be worried about the sheer power and weight of that amount of money.

Money talks and bullshit walks. And money can buy bullshit by the truckload. When you have practically unlimited amounts of money, you can spread unlimited amounts of bullshit.

And Hizzoner has already pledged to support whoever is left in the race against the God-Emperor, which at this point basically comes down to the Crazy Commie Jew and Creepy Uncle Joe.

There is no question that the God-Emperor is an ALPHA among Alphas, and the fact that Hizzoner the Gamma just got BTFO’d by Big Chief Spreading Bull is evidence beyond all doubt of the power of the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy. Looking at the other candidates left in the race, you basically have a Commie-sympathising Gamma Jew who gets extremely cranky and grumpy when called on the carpet for criticism, and a doddering senile creeper low Delta, at best.

If you put either of those up against a true beast-mode Alpha legend like the God-Emperor, they will LOSE, spectacularly.

But that does not mean that all of Hizzoner’s money will not have an impact and a profound effect upon the Daemoncratic Party.

We will see over the coming weeks and months how things shake out. I have a strong suspicion that the Daemoncrats face a civil war among their own ranks by the time the convention rolls around in Milwaukee. If Bernie is the candidate, then blacks and Hispanics will abandon the party at the general election. If Biden is the candidate, all of the energy will leave the room and the Bernie Bros will refuse to turn out.

Either way, the Daemoncrats are on a course to lose the Presidency, the House of Representatives, and a significant number of local and state seats.

The results will be informative and illuminating for the rest of us. When the Republicans faced similar problems with their party in the past, they experienced significant internal realignments, culminating in an actual civil war within their ranks with the emergence of Donaldus Triumphus Magnus. And now, the God-Emperor has definitely turned the Republican Party back to what the original Democratic-Republican Party was, way back in the early 1800s.

Will the Daemoncrats perform a similar calculation and realign themselves? I seriously doubt it. Their power bases are too fractious and diverse to permit it. And the fratricidal war that they will commit among themselves will be a harbinger of the war that will erupt within the borders of the USA within less than a generation.

Mark my words about that – the war IS coming. The God-Emperor, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, has done more than any man could possibly have been asked to do to preserve what is left of the American nation. He has accomplished things that should not have been possible.

But he has failed to restore the American demographic balance, deport the tens of millions of illegal invaders, and throw out the fake Americans who absolutely are not loyal to the American nation. He has failed to destroy the Federal Reserve.

He can’t do these things. It’s simply impossible at this point.

The God-Emperor has done what he could do, and he isn’t finished yet. God bless him for everything that he has done – he is absolutely the greatest President since St. Reagan of the Right, Ronald Magnus himself, and he may well become even greater. He might just be the very best President since Andrew Jackson.

But in the end, America is still doomed. And it is doomed in large part because of a very deliberate effort over the past century to make the American people more stupid and less educated with every passing year.

    Not trying to be a Smart Boi, but you did the math backwards. To get $ per person, divide the $448 million by 329,365,994 people. That's $1.36 per person. Your point still holds.

      Yeah, you're right. That's a rather embarrassing mistake. Corrected and updated.

    Not to disrespect my nation, but Israel is also not in a good place.
    Our score is 1395.
    And is dropping (the OECD relative achievement, not the score) by the year.

    Why?
    Israel invests a lot into it's education. But it does it in a central way. Throwing money at the problem.

    A good start to move up would be to get the standard deviation down. Israel has an incredibly diverse scores among it's population. E.g. Arabs score 1/2 standard deviation lower than the secular one.
    The second would be to actually, you know, get good teachers. Your equivalent SAT score to get into teaching is one of the lowest.
    The third would be, maybe, to actually teach. All of 7th grade is a repeat of 5th and 6th grade material. Why? No one knows.

    In the immortal words of Dark Helmet (SapceBalls):
    "You see LoneStar, Evil will always triumph, because Good is DUMB!"
