Today’s Leftists Would Refuse to See Through Galileo’s TelescopeBy Armando Simón
July 11, 2023
Legend has it that, about 400 years ago, Galileo had company over to his abode, some scholars. He invited them to look through his telescope saying if they did so they would see that Jupiter had moons, contrary to what the Ancient Greeks had proclaimed. The scholars adamantly refused to do so, quoting Aristotle and Ptolemy and who knows who else. Galileo insisted but they continued to refuse and never did look. They were stupidly dogmatic.
Four hundred years later, those types of human beings remain the same. Today we have people who are equally dogmatic who absolutely refuse to view, listen or read anything that contradicts their worldview, except that now not only are they stupid and dogmatic, but are also vicious and insulting (unlike Galileo’s fellow scholars). And they are NPCs (nonplayer characters). They have a set repertoire of responses to anything or anyone that jars their beliefs.
In the case of Covid, their stand was/is that herd immunity was useless. You were a white supremacist to insist. That medication Ivermectin was not to be used to combat Covid. If you did, you were a fascist. That Covid vaccine prevented infection. Or the second. Or the third. Or the fourth. Or the fifth. And they were all safe. If you refused to take the vaccine you were a racist and a “Trumpist.” Citing scientific research in favor of Ivermectin or herd immunity, or, pointing to sudden deaths caused by the Covid vaccine was “disinformation” and “misinformation.” Which had to be suppressed. Oh, and you were also a racist. These NPCs, these stupidly dogmatic individuals, would even go so forth as to physically assault persons who did not conform in wearing useless face masks or in rejecting the toxic vaccines, as well as censoring them and removing them from their place of work—even when they were doctors and nurses.
But the dogmatic stupidity is not restricted to just Covid. We see the same in regard to transgenders, where the stupidly dogmatic NPC keep repeating that a man with a penis who dresses as a woman is, indeed, a woman. Or, that a man pretending to be a woman and participating in women’s sports has no physical advantage from a biological woman because the man who claims to be a woman is, indeed, a woman. A woman who supposedly can menstruate. And we all must conform and agree to that.
