An official at Boeing was just forced out of his job for being “wrong” about something 33 years ago. They’re doing much better than the U.S. Oh, and Italy closed down travel from China before the U.S. did, how much good did it do them? When he says he saved millions of lives, it is only to make it sound that we’re lucky to have lost “only” 131,544 Americans (as of this writing). I mean, maybe Brody could have brought Ben Gardner’s head? He didn’t really close down travel as much as he claims, but what he did was better than nothing—and given that he was condemned for it by Biden and many other Democrats he has every right to brag about it. All 15 songs from the Isn't It Romantic? Not only did they say it was fine to get in the water, they said it was fine to stay in the water indefinitely. That’s a quarter of the global reported COVID-19 deaths. And despite being informed that the owner of the boat, one Ben Gardner, was—to use a scientific term—eatenby the shark, the mayor won’t believe any of it because Dreyfuss can’t produce the tooth. Remember, a bunch of people have already been eaten by the shark. (I’m not even going to get into the Romantic roots of modern nationalism, including Trump’s version of it). President Trump often says that he saved millions of lives by closing down travel from China. Anyway, what really gets the mayor’s goat (presumably so long as the goat doesn’t go swimming) is the “fake news” contained in a vandalized billboard. As Winston Churchill reportedly said, “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing—after they've tried everything else.”. I’m okay with telling people “Always listen to your feelings” because I think your feelings and instincts tell you important things. If you find yourself throwing punches or having what looks like a nervous breakdown, because a private business asked you to wear a mask during a pandemic, you’re listening to your feelings too much. tunefind America rarely gets anything right on the first try. Prior to the George Floyd protests, Jaws worked mostly as a parable for a big chunk of the Republican party, starting with Donald Trump. Would you have learned to swim? You need to use your intellect to figure out the difference. Most of the people who said “it’s just the flu”or something similar have either stuck to their guns or just gone silent. With forays into Jaws, ... Dreyfuss says he found the tooth of the shark in the hull of a boat. Let me interrupt my extemporaneous diatribe for a moment. And it’s not like I had actually forgotten the scene. The Richard Dreyfusses, righteously dismissive of the bourgeois and commercial concerns of the gentry, suddenly insisted it was fine to get in the water. And I gotta go. Goldberg update, four-legged and two: I finished writing this from the front passenger seat of the family funwagon barreling toward NYC. If you think it’s outrageous to open churches in a pandemic but awesome to occupy City Hall—because that will end racism or something—you should stop trusting your feelings. Obviously, the movie is not an intentional allegory about a virus that wouldn’t hit until nearly five decades later. One of Jonathan Haidt’s “Great Untruths” is “Always Trust Your Feelings.”. The one scene where the mayor isn’t analogous to our moment is when the moral enormity of his reluctance finally hits him and Mayor Vaughn comes to his senses. The difference now is that we’re not just telling people to trust their own feelings. The virus will just “disappear” because he feels that it will. Suffice it to say, that if everybody did whatever their feelings told them to do in a particular moment, groin punching would be our national sport (“Tonight on ESPN, The Ocho!”). This site requires JavaScript to run correctly. Gotten or stayed married? But it’s hard not to see some of it that way. Even Isaiah Berlin, who literally wrote the book on Romanticism, considered offering a clear definition of the term to be a “trap.”, For our purposes, Romanticism as a philosophical movement was all about the primacy of emotions and feelings, a rebellion against reason and rationalism. As I mentioned on the podcast the other day, watching Jaws during a pandemic was interesting. Five minutes ago or five years, it’s all the same. His response to the pandemic has been a textbook case of romanticism trumping (no pun intended) reason. Was there a single prominent public health expert who initially supported the protests but, after say, the second week, said, “Okay you made your point”? Watch this: Dreyfuss is basically an epidemiologist explaining that the shark doesn’t care about the crucial summer months for Amity’s economy. The quadrupeds are in good hands with Kirsten and she will be sending proof of life both this weekend and next week when we go to Alaska. Pull out your Remnant bingo cards, everyone; it’s time for “The Parties Are Weak!”, The week’s first Remnant, with return favorite Kevin Williamson, The members-only Midweek Epistle, in which the culture suddenly comes over to my side on the legacy of Woodrow Wilson, My appearance on Dan Crenshaw’s podcast, Hold These Truths, The week’s second Remnant, with the mellifluous Niall Ferguson. We haven’t had that scene—not really. An old dude—named Harry—annoys Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) by making fun of the chief’s mild aquaphobia while he is trying to spot a shark that will likely eat another kid.
