Jason Hill, Philosophy Prof. - Who is This Guy?
This interview is only three minutes, and one of the best very short interviews I've ever seen. Does anyone out there have any experience with Jason Hill?

In the late 90's my friend, business partner, second dad, asked me Why has China never been conquered? Hmmm? I started reply with my limited knowledge / insight of the time, "but Marco Polo....lalala". Robert stopped me, "I said conquered, not occupied". His explanation: Mandarin has been the official language of China for millennia. The occupiers, in order to do business, had to learn Mandarin and subsequently educated their children in same. By the time occupation had been 3 or 4 or 5 generations....the occupiers Thought in Chinese and the country began reversion to it;s language base original structure. Whether this is an accurate account or not, it did raise my questioning as to the power of definition and syntax regarding cohesion of a culture.
Within US history "we" have attempted, and sometimes succeeded, at destruction of the languages of First Nations.
Within this country, I believe, we have the least homogenous population on the planet. One of the most diverse language spectrums when colloquialism is included....and for a manipulator, the perfect opportunity to breed misunderstanding.
I recall Joan, expressed Jo-ahn, telling it was an observation regarding Roman Empire and her teaching of Latin. Prior to the 1960's the area I have lived in and am most familiar with, Upper Mid-West, had some of the finest grammar in the country. I can go to places and listen comparatively, around this area, and hear the socio-economic differentials I perceive.

People, to be controlled,
must first be de-reasoned
to destroy a society, first destroy the language.
Plato
to destroy a nation, we must first destroy the language of the nation.
Stalin
If language is not correct,
then what is said is not what is meant;
if what is said is not what is meant,
then what must be done remains undone;
if this remains undone,
morals and art will deteriorate;
if justice goes astray,
the people will stand about in helpless confusion.
Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said.
This matters above everything.
Confucius
Pol Pot would wholeheartedly agree with what's going on now. See a man with reading glasses? Kill him...
One of the guys working for me years ago was the youngest graduate of the Cambodian Naval Academy. He was the Captain of a Cambodian Naval Ship. When Pol Pot took over, he drove his ship to a a middle place between Cambodia and Australia, and another Captain met him there. Anyone wanting to go back got on the other ship. Anyone wanting to leave, got on my buddies ship. He got to Australia and called back, "Come get your ship", and left with almost nothing. Became a brilliant electrical engineer.
Don't think race stood in either person's way, not even for a minute. Somehow this ridiculous "stable", instituted by welfare, has born a new generation of victims, fully-funded by the host, but somehow beholden to the cancer.
Hill was among company of Candace Owens, Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell......to name only a few.

Words have meaning. When words are twisted and destroyed, so goes language. When language is gone, the means to communicate vanishes as well. All of this destruction is by design.
DePaul might fire him for being racist! .
All their slogans and false premises tell them what to "think" based on their out of context, floating abstraction, false race formulas. Once they see an obvious clash when it turns around to bite them, the 'narrative' still takes precedence over reality.
That irrational mentality is the root of the 'culture' problem. The chickens coming home to roost is the stark contrast between the reality of Jason Hill's thinking and actions versus their own hysterical, irrational emotional actions and false denunciations.
It is so bad that they can't be reached, by their own ingrained choice, just as surely as the western world was stuck for centuries in the Dark Ages because of the commonly ingrained mentality of ignorant irrationalism. You can't reason with monsters no matter how obvious the injustices.
This illustrates why a culture of reason and individualism must be reinstated before the political trends can be reversed. The danger now, compared with the similar irrationality of the New Left when Ayn Rand was writing, is that the mentality of irrationality is so much more widely accepted now.
