I'm posting it in raw form for a friend.]\n\nhttp://realclimatescience.com/2016/12/100-of-us-warming-is-due-to-noaa-data-tampering/\n\nhttp://www.climatedepot.com/2017/01/10/pravda-scientists-now-warn-of-a-new-ice-age-as-temperature-plummets-to-80f-in-russia/\n\n\n![](https://media.giphy.com/media/12Pb87uq0Vwq2c/giphy.gif) [Cite](http://giphy.com/gifs/angry-movie-the-lord-of-rings-12Pb87uq0Vwq2c)\n\n>I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, \"We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.\"\n>\n>[Statement of Dr. David Deming, University of Oklahoma, College of Earth and Energy Testimony to U.S. Senate Committee re: Climate Change and the Media](http://www.epw.senate.gov/hearing_statements.cfm?id=266543)\n\n\nCatastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW or AGW) is in mixed parts a scientific question and political topic. Roughly speaking, for the right of the political spectrum, the scientific question has been answered: there is a much bigger threat of global cooling than from run-away global warming; for the left, CAGW caused by Man's addition of Co2 to the atmosphere is ‘settled science’ and an existential threat to human-kind. The left demands political action now, while denouncing ‘deniers’. The right thinks there is nothing to be alarmed about.\n\nOne of the issues in this debate is whether the Roman Warm Period (“RWP”) and the Medieval Warm Period (“MWP”) where warmer than today. If these periods were as warm or warmer than today, then the odds are that the Modern Warm Period is not abnormal, and the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is not spurring a temperature increase. Proponents of AGW have worked assiduously to remove the Medieval Warm Period or show that the MWP was cooler than today.\n\nAs a preliminary matter, consider Co2's ability to affect temperature.  In Earth's history, Co2 has been much higher than today.  The ability of Co2 to capture heat (the \"Greenhouse Effect\") happens mostly at low Co2 concentrations.  Co2 is currently at a level (saturation) where its effect is diminishing exponentially with respect to its heat-capture in the atmosphere:\n\n![Co2](http://joannenova.com.au/globalwarming/graphs/log-co2/log-graph-lindzen-choi-web.gif)\n\n\n\n\nI won’t go further into the topic of Co2 saturation, but peruse this blog by the incomparable [Lubos Motl:](http://motls.blogspot.com/2007/06/realclimate-saturated-confusion.html)\n\n>the greenhouse effect gets weaker as the absorption of the appropriate spectral lines gets saturated, [and]\nthe overall greenhouse effect from several gases is smaller than a simple sum if their spectra overlap.\n\nThe past can be broken into three tranches for temperature measurement purposes: the Modern Era, which has direct measurements of temperature; the Historical Era, which has only proxies for temperature (e.g. ice cores, tree rings, sediments), plus human records and artifacts that indicate whether it was hot or cold; and the Deep-Time Era, in which we have only temperature proxies. The MWP and RWP occurred between 800 and 1300 AD and between 250 BC to 400 AD, respectively, and fall within the Historical Era.\n\n## Deep Time:  Wide Swings in Temperature and Co2\n\n\nHere are some uncontroversial reconstructions of Earth's temperature in the Deep-time Era.  The first is temperature on a logarithmic timescale from [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology)\n![Wiki](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/All_palaeotemps.png)\n\n\n\nThe blue oscillations between 30 and 1000 thousand YBP are glaciations. \n\nThe following figure shows a reconstruction of temperature with Co2 with time again on a logarithmic scale.  There is no correlation between temperature and Co2 level:\n\nFigure \n\n\n ![](https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/co2_temperature_historical.png)\n\nFinally, a plot on a linear timescale with absolute numbers for temperature and Co2.\nFigure\n![](http://i1044.photobucket.com/albums/b442/Red_Quist/GT%20TempCo2_zpsmo6ychmb.png)\n\n[Source](http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html)\n\n\nAll three graphs are similar. At the right of [the final graph] we see temperature ending at about 13 degrees C, and estimates of current average global temperature are somewhere between 13.5 and 14.5 degrees C. The maxima of the temperatures in the Deep-time Era are about 25 degrees C, or about 8 to 10 degrees warmer than today. Also, Co2 are near a minima today, about 385 ppm. Co2 has been this low only in the Carboniferous period (about 300 million years ago) and typically has been much higher (1000 ppm and more) across time. The Modern Era is anomalously low in temperature and Co2.  See, e.g. [2014 among the 3% coldest years in 10,000 years](http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/01/21/2014-among-the-3-percent-coldest-years-in-10000-years/)\n\n\nFigure (2) shows ice core data (I think from Vostok). \n\n\n![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Vostok_Petit_data.svg/1024px-Vostok_Petit_data.svg.png)\n\nBy Vostok-ice-core-petit.png: NOAAderivative work: Autopilot (talk) - Vostok-ice-core-petit.png, CC BY-[SA 3.0,]( https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10684392)\n\nIt reveals that ‘currently’ we are in a warm interglacial period, and this pulse is a little longer (and a little cooler) than previous ones, suggesting a new ice age may be around the corner. Co2 lags temperature by about 800-1400 years, but some researchers suggest that the lag is as little as 200 years as a result of air bubble migration. Still Co2 doesn’t lead temperature.\n\n## Historical Era\n\nNext, the Historical Era, and the argument about the MWP. The state of the art circa 1990 is depicted in A4 and A5 (from the IPCC first report – they have disappeared it since). Figure A6 shows similar results over a longer period. Figures A4/A5 and A6 shows the MWP as significantly warmer than now. \n\nHere are compilations of a large number of studies:  [1](http://www.co2science.org/data/mwp/qualitative.php) [2](http://www.co2science.org//data/mwp/description.php) [3](http://www.co2science.org/data/mwp/quantitative.php)\n\nHere’s a compilation of 18 studies by Loehle (2007) “A 2000-year global temperature reconstruction based on non-treeing proxies” that shows that the MWP was warmer or as warm as today through 1935:\n![](http://i1044.photobucket.com/albums/b442/Red_Quist/Loehle%20Compilation_zpsztqnfqc6.png)\n \n [Source: Co2 Science](http://www.co2science.org/articles/V11/N5/C1.php)\n\n>\"the mean series shows the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Little Ice Age (LIA) quite clearly, with the MWP being approximately 0.3°C warmer than 20th century values.\"\n>\n>[Loehle](http://www.co2science.org/articles/V11/N5/C1.php)\n\n\nHey, the reconstruction looks just like the IPCC graph from 1990 (Figure A5)! This recent paper pretty much puts the hysteria about AGW to rest.\n![](http://www.realclimate.org/images/ipcc_1990_panel3.jpg)\n\n\n1935 was a propeitious year for Loehle's series to end.  It was in the midst of a heatwave, at least based on all-time record high temperatures recorded in the States:\n\n![](https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/usa_hightemperature_records.jpg?w=700)\n\n\n\n\n\nNote that sea level was 2 meters higher than today twice in the last 8,000 years (during the Holocene Temperature Optimum):\n\n![](http://notrickszone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Caryl_4.gif) [Source](http://notrickszone.com/2014/05/05/data-show-holocene-sea-levels-trending-downwards-2-meters-higher-4000-and-8000-years-ago/) \n\nThe temperature data alone refutes the hypothesis that the MWP was cooler than today but there is incontestable data during the Historical Period – human records and artifacts. Farming (especially in alpine valleys and geographic limits of grape and wheat cultivation), ancient tree-lines, artifacts melting out of glaciers, Vikings buried in permafrost in Greenland, temperature sensitive insect range, and many more human records of the past all support a very warm medieval (and Roman) period. \n\nProbably the best example is the Vikings. The Viking settled Iceland, Greenland and (maybe) Labrador/Newfoundland during this period. These settlements all disappeared during the Little Ice Age. Here’s a selection of the Viking’s travels.\n\nhttp://www.green-agenda.com/greenland.html\n\nHere’s another piece (translated – a little roughly -- from the original Germany) which, in the first part, lists a number of human examples showing the MWD was warmer than today:\n\nhttp://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/29/the-medieval-warm-period-a-global-phenonmena-unprecedented-warming-or-unprecedented-data-manipulation/\n\nAnd if you think we’re arguing regional variations, as IPCC does when it suits them, consider this:\n\nThe Medieval Warm Period - A global Phenomenon\nhttp://pages.science-skeptical.de/MWP/MedievalWarmPeriod.html\n\n\n\n## Modern Era\n\nThere are no direct measurements of temperature prior to about 1650, which marks the beginning of the Modern Era, cumulating in 1979 with the recording of high-quality, uniform satellite temperature data. 1850 is generally agreed as the end of the Little Ice Age. From Encyclopedia Britannica:\n\n\n>Little Ice Age (LIA), climate interval that occurred from the early 14th century through the mid-19th century, when mountain glaciers expanded at several locations, including the European Alps, New Zealand, Alaska, and the southern Andes, and mean annual temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere declined by 0.6 °C (1.1 °F) relative to the average temperature between 1000 and 2000 ce.\n\nhttp://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/344106/Little-Ice-Age-LIA\n\n\nWiki1 shows the minima of the Little Ice Age occurring at around 1650 and the total increase from there until present of about 0.6 to 0.7 degrees (about 0.185 degrees C per century). That would suggest that current temperatures are about the ‘average temperature between 1000 and 2000 ce’. In other words, not a crisis. \n\nThe Wiki1 plots showing an accelerating increase in temperature from the mid-1850’s (when the industrial revolution was kicking into high gear) to the present (about 0.33 degrees C per century). This matches theory in that carbon emmissions increase temperature.\n\nLet’s look at some data sets. Figure A1 shows satellite data for the period beginning in 1980.\n\n![](http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/satellite.gif) [Source: ](http://www.lavoisier.com.au/articles/greenhouse-science/solar-cycles/Archibald2007.pdf)\n\nhttp://www.davidarchibald.info/papers/Past-and-Future-of-Climate.pdf\n\n![0.114 degrees C per decade?](http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_September_2016_v6.gif)\nEye-balling it, a least squares fit might result in 0.3 degrees per century, but you could also argue it’s nearly flat. The Southern Hemisphere is flat, and one could wonder if the Northern Hemisphere rise is due (in part or in whole) to heat-island effect, rather than global warming.\n\n![Earth lights](http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/55000/55167/earth_lights.jpg)\n\nThe Equator runs through Quito, Ecuador, not too far south of the top of South America. The N. Hemisphere has most of the lights, which correlate with industrialization/heat island effect.\n\nIncidental, here are a few government assessments of the global temperature anomaly. It shows an increase of about 0.45 degrees C from 1980 when satellite data started. Obviously the government plot is not supported by the satellite data. \n\nhttps://ourchangingclimate.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/global_temp_yearly_p1_smthbin11_2.png\n\nFigure A2 is from a composite of rural temperature stations in the U.S., which covers the period from 1893 to 2004. It shows a modest least squares fit decline, or at most 0 (zero) degrees change per century. (See heat island discussion below). Note this period covers most of 1850-present period in which the Wiki1 temperature increases by 0.33 per century.\n\nNext, Figure A3 from the UK starts in 1661 and represents the longest continuous temperature dataset available. The Dalton and Maunder Minimum are well-documented cool periods within the Little Ice Age. A channel can be drawn from 1730 to 1950 on the highs, and 1750 to 1970 on the lows, where there is essential no change in temperature. The tail end of this dataset (from about 1950 onwards) shows some heat island effect. Interestingly, NOAA presents this same dataset and says “The temperatures from 1975-2005 have been corrected for urban warming”. As near as I can tell, NOAA ‘corrected’ the temperatures for the heat island effect by increasing them instead of decreasing them. The raw data shows the 1735 peak is about the same as in 2005, but the NOAA data shows today as warmer than 1735 after ‘correction’.\n\nIn summary, various recent datasets based on raw, real temperature readings, not proxies, do not support hysteria. That’s without getting into a bunch of other substantiated concerns, including: heat island effect, lack of stations, cherry-picking of data sets, and flawed data analysis. As to lack of stations, they declined sharply beginning in 1980 with the advent of satellite data (middle graph): https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/clip_image009.jpg\n\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n## The Past and Future of Climate Change\n\n From the Deep-Time Era we can conclude that average global temperature and Co2 levels are near global minima, that we are at the peak warm period of an interglacial period, and that almost certainly in the future the Earth will experience another major ice age, with a mile of ice burying places like Russia, Canada and most of the Mid-West (unless we do something about it). From the Modern Era, we see that many data sets do not show systemic warming (the last 18 years of the hiatus haven’t shown any) including the best temperature record of the period, the satellite data. For the Historic Era, I shown several recent high quality reconstructions of temperature that include the MWP to the present in which the MWP is warmer than the present and the reconstructions are about the same as the cartoon representing the “settled science” contained in the first IPCC study (1990) but since discarded (Fig. 5A). Human reports and archaeology confirm Fig. 5A. Wiki is heavily biased toward AGW, \n\nand I’ve shown that Wiki1 is essentially a ‘hockey stick’ that contains the discredited work of Mann et al (1998). \n\nHence, the MWP was at least as warm as today or warmer. It certainly wasn’t cooler.\n\n\n\n\nP.S. \n\n## Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.\n\nThe Impact of UHI\n\nOne of the biggest factors to consider when trying to compile an accurate temperature is the UHI effect - something that appears to be substantially downplayed by the IPCC, but particularly relevant as a significant proportion of the worlds records increasingly come from urbanized areas. The link to population growth (here) illustrates how the environs of a station may have changed over the years.\n\nThe precise amount of artificial warming through proximity of buildings, vehicles, tarmac etc will vary according to whether the station remains in a large open space or becomes crowded in by development. There is clearly a limit to the UHI effect - as urbanisation grows artificial warming is likely to be spread more widely but will not necessarily be more concentrated. However, a difference of several degrees between urban and adjacent rural areas is common and the effect is particularly marked on still clear nights when the difference can be substantially greater. This renders many modern temperature records rather suspect as the correction factor (if applied) often appears to be inadequate. The end result is that the recorded temperature may read rather higher than it should do when trying to compare like for like with older less affected records.\n\nThe warming caused locally by the UHI effect is unambiguous. Some urban areas will welcome the additional warming, but to others it will be a real issue. However it appears to be one that does not attract as much attention as the much less obvious impact of co2.\nhttp://climatereason.com/UHI/\n\n## Abrupt Decline in Earth Based Temperature Stations\n\nWith the advent of high quality satellite temperature data (Figure A1) the number of earth-based temperature stations has declined precipitously since 1980, in part, because so many stations have been render practically useless as a result of UHI effect.\n\n![](http://i1044.photobucket.com/albums/b442/Red_Quist/Tmp%20Stations_zpsoxgxyx0s.png)\n\n\nhttps://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/clip_image009.jpg (middle figure; cited above)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n![Postal Rate](https://wryheat.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/us_post_causes_global_warming_lrg.jpg)\n\n![Co2 and Plant Growth](https://wryheat.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/sitemgr_co2growthresponse.jpg)\n\n![More Plant](http://www.oism.org/pproject/Slides/Presentation/Slide24.png)\n\n\n\n![](http://i1044.photobucket.com/albums/b442/Red_Quist/1000_Year_Temperature_Comparison_zpsomwwquq5.png)\n\n\n\nc1/2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png\n\nhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png\n\n\n\nI’ll refer to the Wiki temperature plots as Wiki1. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png\n\nPatrick Moore, Ph.D., a co-founder and leader of Greenpeace for 15 years, wrote a [contrarian piece](https://www.heartland.org/news-opinion/news/why-i-am-a-climate-change-skeptic) on global warming from which three questions can be abstracted:\n\n\n>Issue 1: Were the pre-Industrial Medieval Warm Period and the Roman Warm Period warmer than today? If so, why should we panic about minor warming today?\n\n>Issue 2: Is global warming about science, or is it just the Left trying to stampede the voters into accepting it’s favored programs, like massive carbon taxes?\n\n>Issue 3: Has increased carbon dioxide been a boon to plants? Is/was carbon dioxide dangerously low (plants starting dying around 200 ppm), and has Man’s emissions of Co2 actually been beneficial?",

      "body": "[NOTE:  I posted for a decade on Ray Kurzweil's \"Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence\".  I thought it would be forever, but Kurzweil shut it down a year or two ago.  All the writings there were wiped out, so links below to that site are dead.  It was a tragedy. \n\nSurvivors (Ray-fuges?) formed a new site called Escape Velocity on Runboard http://bescapevelocity.runboard.com/\n\nIt's a small but vocal group, and the interface is pretty good.  However, although all posts are archived, it is almost impossible to find an old post.  Hence, I will be using Steemit as an archive for certain posts that may be relevant in the future to discussions on Escape Velocity.]\n\nCirca 2014\n\nThe Mayor’s Speech:  An Open Letter To Ray Kurzweil\n\n\n\n\nDear Mr. Kurzweil:\n\nWhy is the man who wrote this two years ago still posting on your forum?\n\n\"Zombiefood: only a true monster could cheer that. you horrible fucking bastard. cancer of the face for you bitch. and a long slow miserable painful death after the healthcare people deny your liver transplant or you exhaust your benefits.\" http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/two-solitudes-by-redq\n\nUnder a transparent alternate username he posted this the other day:\n\n\"4q2 (F*** you 2, I think):  you creepy fucking chunk of shit\"\nhttp://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/iscience-socialism-and-stupidity/page/3\n\nI hope that your answer is “lousy moderation”.  This is a form of the Heckler’s Veto that is used all the time on your site.\n\nI’ve enjoyed your newsletter and forum for many years, as well having read all your books.  I’m also a big fan of Peter Diamandis and his book “Abundance”. Lately (well, not so lately), your forum has taken a dark turn toward allowing, condoning and engaging in censorship of legitimate speech, and the rather brutal suppression of certain individuals.  I can’t believe that is what you want.  \n\nThis trend is rampant in the general culture. A few recent examples of ideological suppression in our society (I’ll get to MindX shortly):\n\n\tModzilla fired its chief executive over a 6-year-old campaign contribution (to a cause supported by the Democrats at the time).  USA Today writes the firing “is prompting concerns about how Silicon Valley's strongly liberal culture might quash the very openness that is at the region's foundation.”\n\tChick-fil-A’s owner expresses his personal views on same-sex marriage and creates a firestorm, including elected officials saying they will not permit the franchise to operate within their jurisdictions.  \n\tThe L.A. Times and the Science sub-Reddit (more ‘subscribers’ than the New York Times) both announce a new policy that statements questioning catastrophic global warming will be censored.  Your company, Google, seems ready to follow.\n\tIn a blatant violation of the First Amendment, the IRS suppresses rightwing political speech.\n\tThree potential Republican presidential candidates are smeared and their prospects diminished by public prosecutions: Governors Walker (Wi.), Christie (N.J.) and Perry (Tx.).  None of the prosecutor’s claims have any merit. Once is curious, twice an anomaly, three times makes a pattern. In the Walker case, U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Randa wrote concerning the investigation, “attempts to purify the public square lead to places like the Guillotine and the Gulag.”  See, e.g. http://hotair.com/archives/2014/05/07/federal-judge-halts-john-doe-probe-in-wisconsin/\n\nThese things should give us pause.  Mayor Michael Bloomberg addressed this authoritarian impulse (which is, I believe, the ruling orthodoxy at MindX) in his commencement address at Harvard.  I’ve included relevant selections from the speech in a footnote.  Substitute ‘MindX’ for ‘institution’ or ‘university’, ‘member’ for ‘students’, and ‘moderators’ for ‘faculty’, and the speech accurately reflects the atmosphere on your forum.  Bloomberg concludes:\n[John Stuart] Mill would have been horrified to learn of university students silencing the opinions of others. He would have been even more horrified that faculty members were often part of the . . . censorship campaigns.  For tenured faculty members to silence speakers whose views they disagree with is the height of hypocrisy, especially when these protests happen in the northeast – a bastion of self-professed liberal tolerance . . . [W]hen people seek to repress freedom for some, and you remain silent, you are complicit in that repression and you may well become its victim.  \nDo not be complicit, and do not follow the crowd. Speak up, and fight back.”\nAre you too complicit?  Hey – I spoke up!  From the thread Swan Song http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/swan-song-by-redq:\n“The singularity, transhumanism and all other ‘futurist’ movements are not inherently leftwing, but in practice they all have become movements of the Left. All spend immense amounts of ink on anti-capitalism, the Fed, dishing Right-wing politics, anti-Christian bigotry, bashing Israel/Jews, and generally denouncing the values of Western Civilization. ‘Those things which previous tradition or observation revealed as absolutely good must . . . be mocked.’” [Quoting David Mamet in ‘The Secret Knowledge’].  \n\nI will avoided a long series of quotes from your website to support my claims, but if you doubt my characterization, you are, I think (hope?), misinformed.  See, for instance, this recent thread and the comments, which is a sort of Cliff Notes to MindX: http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/iscience-socialism-and-stupidity.  \n\nMindX has always been plagued by moderator bias, but things really ran off the rails with the recent policy of overtly prohibiting posts that were ‘divisive’. This policy was a frank cave-in to the Left and implemented a speech code of which Herbert Marcuse would be proud (\"Certain things cannot be said, certain ideas cannot be expressed, certain policies cannot be proposed\"; and “Liberating tolerance would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.\")  Western Culture has resulted in the deepest thinking on free speech, yet futurist sites like MindX endlessly search elsewhere to find a formula that allows censorship of disagreeable opinions.  \n\nModeration of MindX is desirable and needed, but it should be on a basis on which there is general agreement.  Luckily, Western Culture provides just that!  Here’s how I’d formulate guidelines for MindX:\n\n\n1)\tComments should relate to science, technology and the future. Posts related to such things as fantasy, partisan politics, personal problems, and conspiracy theories will be given a very short leash. \n2)\tBe very circumspect before engaging in a personal attack. They will get you banned, particularly trolling and/or stalking of other members. Negative conclusions on a topic are of course acceptable, but not mere denunciations of a poster.\n3)\tVulgarity is not permitted, and repeated vulgarity will result in banning.\n4)\tTalk of violence, either in reference to another member or as a workable solution to sociality ills, will not be tolerated.  \n5)\tYou have the right of self-defense.  If attacked first, you should use the ‘Report function’, but responses to personal attacks will be viewed in context.\n6)\tWe all know what civility is. Practice it.\n\nWithin about two weeks of applying this policy, MindX would be what it should be.\n\nWhat is most desperately needed at MindX is a moderator that ascribes to the transcendental values of Western Civilization.  That means someone who: embraces our Judeo-Christian values and history; believes in free minds/free markets; and embraces the ideals set forth in the book “Abundance”.  I know that asks a lot, but it is what is most needed at MindX.  \n\n“RedQ”\n\nFootnote:\n\nA complete text of Mayor Bloomberg’s commencement speech can be found here:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/05/31/bloomberg-at-harvard-blasts-ivy-league-liberals-for-trying-to-repress-conservative-ideas/ .  Selected quotes follow:\n\n“Today, I’d like to talk with you about how important it is for that freedom to exist for everyone, no matter how strongly we may disagree with another’s viewpoint.  Tolerance for other people’s ideas, and the freedom to express your own, are inseparable values at great universities. Joined together, they form a sacred trust that holds the basis of our democratic society.  But that trust is perpetually vulnerable to the tyrannical tendencies of monarchs, mobs, and majorities. And lately, we have seen those tendencies manifest themselves too often, both on college campuses and in our society.\n . . .\nRepressing free expression is a natural human weakness, and it is up to us to fight it at every turn. Intolerance of ideas – whether liberal or conservative – is antithetical to individual rights and free societies, and it is no less antithetical to great universities and first-rate scholarship.  There is an idea floating around college campuses – including here at Harvard – that scholars should be funded only if their work conforms to a particular view of justice. There’s a word for that idea: censorship. And it is just a modern-day form of McCarthyism.  Today, on many college campuses, it is liberals trying to repress conservative ideas, even as conservative faculty members are at risk of becoming an endangered species. And perhaps nowhere is that more true than here in the Ivy League.\nIn the 2012 presidential race, according to Federal Election Commission data, 96 percent of all campaign contributions from Ivy League faculty and employees went to Barack Obama.  Ninety-six percent. There was more disagreement among the old Soviet Politburo than there is among Ivy League donors.\n. . . \nI’m sure all of today’s graduates have read John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty. But allow me to read a short passage from it: ‘The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it.  If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.’\nMill would have been horrified to learn of university students silencing the opinions of others. He would have been even more horrified that faculty members were often part of the commencement censorship campaigns.  For tenured faculty members to silence speakers whose views they disagree with is the height of hypocrisy, especially when these protests happen in the northeast – a bastion of self-professed liberal tolerance . . . [W]hen people seek to repress freedom for some, and you remain silent, you are complicit in that repression and you may well become its victim.  \nDo not be complicit, and do not follow the crowd. Speak up, and fight back.”\n\n[End Thread OP]\n\nIncidentally, this was during a period of rampant vulgarity at MindX.  Ipan made several vicious and profane comments on the Mayor’s Speech thread, like calling me a ‘sheep fucker’.  He liked it so much he used the same sort of stuff repeatedly against others, particularly Spike (iPan: “The ranks of Christianity are made up of sheep fuckers and paedophiles . . . Which are you Spike? I'm guessing sheep fucker. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa”  http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/future-of-american-politics/page/2#post-680853)\n\nAny how, here are some things in the file drawn mostly from my responses to comments on “The Mayor’s Speech”:\n\nProvoketur: \"Didnt you get Banned for breaking the rules?\"\n\nI don’t think so. A week ago I wrote to the moderators and explained my ban:  \"The actual proximate cause for my ban was reposting a deleted thread dealing with a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience by Harvard and Northwestern researchers (it was not for engaging in personal insults as Giulio alleged): http://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/just-put-a-gun-to-your-head-pot-use-by-youth-by-red\"\n\nI often pointed out that for Giulio, ‘liberal’ and ‘libertine’ were pretty similar, and one thing he was big on was drug use. The thread dealt with a study of marijuana use by youth and he didn’t like it. Here’s an example of Giulio discussing drug use:\n\nGiulio: “Edgewise - If someone self-medicates on their own dime and cleans up their own mess, that's one thing. But, shooting-up on OPM and leaving the consequences for \"someone else\" to clean up is something else entirely.”\nOK. I pay for recreational drugs with MY money, out of MY wallet. I use it in MY time, in MY house. There is no mess to clean up, and it is no business of anyone else.\"\nhttp://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/libertarians-and-christians-versus-the-state-by-redq/page/2\n\nIn response to the re-posting of the “Just put a gun to your head” thread, Giulio tracked my posting history and found where I’d replied in a harsh manner to insults (two cases, the third was for jokingly referring to another poster response with the word ‘weasel’). He warned me twice and then banned me. This happened so fast, I didn’t see at least the last two, and don’t think I saw the first one until after I was banned.\n\nIt’s no secret that there is a bunch here that don’t like me, and that their motivation is ideology. This group wants to censor certain views including, in particular, mine: \n\nThis policy was a frank cave-in to the Left and implemented a speech code of which Herbert Marcuse would be proud (\"Certain things cannot be said, certain ideas cannot be expressed, certain policies cannot be proposed\"; and “Liberating tolerance would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.\")\nSo I was clearly banned (by popular demand) for ideology on a broad range of issues. That is illegitimate, as I laid out in the OP.\n\nBy the way would you care to speak to the origin of rights?\n\nYes, I have:\n\nJames J quoting the OP: “The U.S. Constitution’s legitimacy is grounded in natural rights granted from a Creator, not the government. If there is no Creator, then whence natural rights? There is no valid claim to individual rights if the government is the ultimate sovereign. Then, your ‘rights’ are what government accords you. This, I have referred to as the ‘social utility of Christianity’.\n\nThis is a very important point Red_Quist makes. This point is lost on minds too deep in statist orthodoxy. Whether or not there actually IS a Creator or \"God\" is irrelevant. The vital point is: what is Humanity willing to assign as the SOURCE of rights. If it assigns the source of rights to the state, then it is, in essence, assigning that source to some sub-set of Humanity -- the thugs with guns. If it assigns the source of rights to a Creator, then it is, in essence, assigning that source to all of Humanity -- all individuals with reason.\nhttp://www.kurzweilai.net/forums/topic/libertarians-and-christians-versus-the-state-by-redq/page/2\n\n*****************************\nRedQ:   . . . transcendental values of Western Civilization. That means someone who: embraces our Judeo-Christian values and history\n\nM_AI:  Is this a intentional troll, or do you genuinely believe a moderator should not strive to be impartial and unbiased (whether or not they are, is another matter).\n\nWhat exactly would you replace our Judeo-Christian values with?  The ‘transcendental values of Western Civilization’ are the most ‘impartial and unbiased’ set of values in the world, are they not?\n\nZ/t:  because conservatives are greedy selfish psychopaths\n\nGlove:  Right!\n\nSheesh – talk about a Heckler’s Veto! Don’t wonder why I think Glove is the master of z/t and his sockpuppet brood. \n\nZ/t:  those who dont know you will learn to hate you like the people you drove from the forum\n\nI know of no one that I’ve driven from this forum, although this smear is often bandied about.  Here are a few the people driven from this forum by constant harassment by youz guys:\n\nHgrayson\nEdgewise\nBeephatron\nBarking Monkey\n\nMany other good posters have left as a result of insults and abuse by youz guys.\n\nExaPlex:  \"The tortured minds of the \"progressives\" on this site is something to behold. They simply cannot accept disagreement with their world view and therefore must eradicate it by any means. There is no higher priority for them.

Here’s every single one in under a minute. \n\nApparently its been censored on youtube, except of course Right wing stuff isn't censored by Si-Val.\n\nWhen Pot-belly Kim sees this video he's going to spend the next several hours vomiting in the toilet.\n\nFrom the comments:\n\nPOTUS45 stood in the hot noon sun wearing a dark suit and tie for almost 2 hours shaking over 1,100 hands with no hat no sunglasses no water and never moved an inch while everyone else was in the shade under the canopy\n\nI could find a hundred videos of Obama's ignorance and disrespect, especially of the military, but let's just go with this:\n\nhttps://cdni.rt.com/files/news/27/ff/80/00/obama-1.si.jpg\n\nFrom the comments: \"Obama's workout video makes Jazzercise look masculine\"",
