“Finally, blue states did receive more in COVID-19 relief funds, but red states have disproportionately benefited from Biden’s signature legislation—IRA, CHIPS, IIJA—by as much as fivefold.”

“Since the BRAC Commission first began their reviews in 1988, the proportion of bases located in red-state-dominate regions (i.e., Southeast, Southwest) increased by 6 percentage points compared to a decrease of 7 percentage points in blue-state-dominate regions (i.e., Northeast, Mid-Atlantic)”

Republicans in power punish blue states. Dems in power invest in red states.

Boire is talking about a person having a right to control the processes of their brain enabling them to think and believe for themselves. It’s the difference between requiring a class and literally brainwashing a worker to believe something.

Which appears to be a reference to:
“each person has an inviolable right to think… . It must mean, at a minimum, that each person is free to direct one’s own consciousness; one’s own underlying mental processes, and one’s beliefs, opinions, and worldview. This is self-evident and axiomatic.”

Antelman:“Boire elaborates the legal protections for freedom of thought by dividing them into three rights: the right to keep your thoughts and opinions private; the right not to have your thoughts and opinions manipulated; and the right not to be penalized for your thoughts and opinions”

Boire is focused on the right to not be mind controlled, whether by removing a literal piece of your brain, drugging you, or torturing you for your conscious reality (ie you’re queer).

Antelman seems to fundamentally misunderstand what her sources mean by “cognitive liberty.” She outright conflates it with “freedom of thought” in the first section. For Boire, these were separate things.

The cited article is in his organization’s journal where he frequently published. Sometimes 2,3,4 or more articles in an issue. Doesn’t appear to be peer reviewed or anything.

I randomly checked 1 source,
Boire’s On Cognitive Liberty part 1.

Boire seems to be a lawyer who opposes the war on drugs and advocates for the “right to self-determine our own brain states” (getting high) starting in the 90’s it looks like.

The penguins were tough, but he somehow got through to them

Oh wow you learned. This certainly can’t also be a joke.

KKK getting a man on the inside

So. He assigned a textbook that didn’t have the readings in it because he didn’t check. He could have just outright assigned an older edition.

Schools have libraries and he could have just emailed his subject librarian without the need to “scramble” for a pdf. 🙄
