By gum, here's a depressing start to Monday morning
Poet Anne Carson recently won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. A poet of our times from what little I've managed to read of her output, but Gad Saad has read a little more so we don't have to.
I guess Gad Saad is not a fan of postmodernist wibble.
Another example of how institutions (in this case the Peace Prize committee) can be 'marched through' by careerists with the consequence that identity politics performances become their main concern to the detriment of the institution's original purpose.
Which other institutions show this sad occupation by the woke - smug, virtue signalling and intolerant of other viewpoints; overzealously progressive? It would actually take less time to identify those institutions that still remain uncorrupted.
Tis a funny thing. Even before listening to Gad's comments, I just knew that she was a miserable shrew A foul feminist troll Better thrown down a hole I just knew!
DJ - "It would actually take less time to identify those institutions that still remain uncorrupted."
I agree, the march through the institutions seems to be near enough complete. Where it goes from here I don't know, but nowhere desirable seems likely.
Mike - excellent, have a virtual Nobel Prize. I might have a go at the poetry lark too.

I vote Prostetnik Vogon Jeltz for next year's prize.
Barbarus - good choice, slightly better than being cast out into the empty blackness of space.
