\u201cBack when there were six big dogs in the pack, we had to stand at attention at mealtimes. And we did it, too. You know why? Because we didn’t get fed until we\u00a0did.\u201d<\/p><\/div>America has always been a Calvinist nation, and remaining one has been a hard stunt for the Ruling Class: What does a post-Calvinistic atheist do to get ahead?<\/p>\n

Or: Rather: To demonstrate having gotten ahead, since the Calvinist work ethic is more about competition than work itself. As with Marxism, stripped of the filigreed bullshit, Calvinism is ultimately pretty small: \u201cI’ll show you<\/em> my predestinate, unavoidable and unchangeable ultimate status in heaven!\u201d The difference would be that the burning need to prove success brought forth a cornucopia of success.<\/p>\n

Keeping the will to strive alive is hard to do, absent a putative pre-established status roster in the afterlife. One key clinging point for would-be elitists is The Marshmallow Test<\/a> \u2013 which is seen as a more-mundane expression of the same inalterable ranking of souls.<\/p>\n

While the test allegedly measures impulse control in children, it actually measures their parents’ parenting skills \u2013 to that point. Immediately afterward, the test tests the test, as you can easily demonstrate by administering it daily \u2013 resulting in perfect performance among a dozen kids in two or three days. If you want your dogs to sit at attention before meals, it could take a little longer, but, regardless, training is training.<\/p>\n

What a crushing blow to Cautious and Driven parents: Their child’s self-control is their<\/em> self-control, inherited as intellectual capital \u2013 not genes, talent, grace or destiny. A salve for their wounds is that teaching self-control to babies and toddlers sets them up for a life of success and satisfaction. This is the actual “privilege” the Marxists are bitching about.<\/p>\n

All of the social sciences are built around stupid cargo cults \u2013 many, like this one, desperately seeking a Calvinistic predestinate determinism to absolve the cultists of the awful burden of free will. But the truth is so much better than any clinician’s cloying wishes: You can train your dog to wait for his dinner, train Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
