That said, for anybody who can read it’s totally fricking obvious that we’re morons compared to the Victorians.

I assume you’ve all seen Harvard’s 1869 admission test.

This is one of the most important topics for discussion right now in the DEC: the general discussion of what the DEC is as a social movement.

But I still think we are for the most part missing a reactionary teleology. All the “prole” groups to use Goulding’s terminology are/were defined by what they don’t want. Most of Goulding’s “sages” define a (usually Christian, frequently Catholic)-derived teleology. If one is fond, as Goulding says of “sophomores”, of Bayesianism, this requires the recognition that we are defined by our definition of the priors.
