for those of you prefer a little like reading marvel has introduced a new comic book series that's supposed to be representative of the times the reaction online though been less than positive some readers taking issue with what they see as being the recall level of woke most of the new characters. her thoughts in our latest darrien tree. diary it's day 756 of my quarantine i have cleaned every car but looked out of every window and watched every and i mean every film and series on netflix so i've been left with no option but to turn to comic films not my usual thing but desperate times and i'm so glad i took that leap because in these times of life threatening pandemonium model house welcome to the wild exactly what we all need snowflake and save space are the

twins and their names are very similar to screen time fast off how imaginative all those names snowflake unsafe space must have taken a serious brainstorming session so these twins are black or white nowadays is so passe that both. morton culture i mean who is a snowflake with cropped blue haran matching lear todd is non-binary of course they are i'm saying space is a a big burly man and little hot pink shorts why not the part of a series called new warriors so obvious but when shooting out snowflakes and creating full fields 'd to protect against unkind enemies these twins would leave the enemy quaking in its boots but apparently not everyone agrees with me the marvel new warriors are so badly designed i genuinely thought they were parodies of stuff as many bt minority characters in the main cast as possible series oh good
4:22 am
lord snowflake in say space actually part of this crew marvel even the ninety's is way better than what you're bringing out now for the new worries at least marvelous producing toilet paper during this corona crisis with the new warriors now these 2 are just the latest jewels marvels added to its growing diversity crowd with my sisters and i. arms are you also hailed the decision to cost a woman as captain marvel back that paul thing had a real rough times of child in the flashbacks we see there's a horrible mom telling this and then one even told to smile. smile. back. i don't know about you but violence as a result for any unpleasant situation strikes me as a very positive and empowering message in real life the actress bree lawson is. too

was a betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hi i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report i don't know about you but so far this pandemic things working out great in america i say make america transcendental list again you know back in the 1820 state $140.00 s. and the american transcendental is a movement which talked about how to rely on subjective intuition rather than object of empiricism and that's really the heart and soul of america this pandemic is bringing in
4:27 am
a whole new era of self-reliance this plays great into the american soul. speaking self-reliance and making sure my wire here is plugged in yes self-reliance ralph waldo and emerson one of the most famous quotes from that essay called self reliance was a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds adored by little statesman f. loss of furs and divines i would say the philosophers are modern day think tanks and the divine's are celebrity cable news hosts and they have these little minds that focus just on certain numbers the stock price number efficiency globalization making sure everything's just in time and this is what they've been seeking and the think tanks and the cable news has been telling us this is the best thing for basically everything for the american economy and what we found out so far during this crisis caused by the pandemic is that we have 0 self reliance as
4:28 am
a nation where basically sitting here waiting for some miracle some you know there is a lot of praying going on in the white house and the vice president's office but they're waiting for somewhat some sort of personal protection equipment respirators ventilators all these things to just magically appear out of thin air when we can't make them ourselves we're off waldo emerson consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds you know it it speaks of a side dia that specialisation and hyper specialization which is something that is at the root of our goal lobel ization at the root of our reliance on mandarins working as an elected think tanks and global institutions really gets a so away from what we know to be true inside of ourselves our subjective intuition we know what's right instinctively but experts and specialisation and hyper specialization of all knowledge and information has created a class of super technocrats who look at the data and say you know what you think
4:29 am
what you instinctively know. to be true is wrong because the data says something else and in the last 10 or 15 years we've moved the era of big data where so much of our reality of our environment of our society is governed by experts interpreting data and now thanks to coronavirus this is all being stripped away it's all nonsense the coronavirus is now bringing back to america some intuitive sense of self reliance it's going to be a difficult adjustment don't don't get me wrong there's going to be a huge a just spent but it is ultimately hyper amerikana shows like ours and many other people mostly on blogs and in alternative thing tanks they're called heterodox thinkers and many of them by the way have been marginalized over the past 3 years since trump was elected because of the whole conspiracy mindedness of the divine class the celebrity thinking class on television the philosophers in our think
4:30 am
tanks and they've conspired to basically say you know try to maintain their domain jevon by data and driven by efficiency and driven by this consistency of globalization they expected to all say the same and people have been saying not just you and us but all the other people put on these lists of russia gators that are supposed to be marginalized as we've been saying that this globalization how it's been managed especially in the past 1020 years is it well since china became part of the debbie cio is that we've shipped everything overseas without any sort of thought of the self-reliance of the nation that's left us vulnerable left thousands and thousands tens of thousands of americans dying every year from overdose and deaths and despair that's exactly a result of the situation we have the absence of self-reliance but i want to look at this headline from american mind org and they say make a.
