Bambi's Thoughts
This evening, Bambi has a guest: Dr. Pat Kamhampati.
What an enriching chat!
You can view it below.
Thank you [Bambi] for this fascinating dialogue. Both of you are unwilling to compromise even an inch of personal and professional integrity.
Ora
What an honour for Bambi to post your comment, Ora! Many thanks for this and for the enriching interview with you and Tim (Jackson) on your podcast show. Bambi heard much positive comments about it and about your inspiring talent. Please keep it up!
I very much enjoyed the content/contexts of this YouTube video clip
so thanks for sharing [Bambi], it was greatly appreciated.
General Thoughts on These Matters, “Food For Thought”
The term of “Check My Privilege” coming from students with zero “Lived Experience” going to university who have the privilege to take four years off to quote study via “The Working Classes”. Yeah, as Bill Maher and others have pointed out, I am not f-cking paying for that.
Dr. Patanjali (Pat) Kambhampati is right “social engineering” and “science” don’t mix e.g. “The National Socialist German Workers’ Party” (NAZIs) and good for him for speaking out on these issues.
Why are we punishing cultures that value merit education? Judaism, and wanting to be at arm’s length of the government this also includes many Asian and Middle Eastern cultures. Universities for example, that have institutional discrimination on the books, making it harder for Asian students to get into universities, simply because they were born Asian, actual real Asian racism in real time.
Instead, we favour a system of, White Progressivism “Grievance Culture” #DefundGrievanceCulture with their “Patriarchy” with their “Public Shaming Culture” getting to decide whom of us are more human than others. Literally basing human beings on just their exteriors, not the context of each individual book, just as book covers.
Which is being done on purpose “Equality of Outcome” to create cultures of dependencies. 21st Century Progressivism, the sequel to 20th Century Progressivism is not about receiving the funds it is about the power of distributing the wealth. 21st Century Progressivism pays very well and usually comes with great job security and great pension plans via Woke governments. As long you only practice “Critical Theory” but not “Critical Thinking”.
Diversity on university campuses, oh yeah Progressives, university with their diversity administrators are really into diversity but what kind of diversity? Diversity of international students that pay three times the amount, diversity of classism, indeed pays very well.
Mind you the international students tend to be the brightest and of course the least Woke. The ones that usually study in fields that revolve around, consequential knowledge-based programmes. So at least hopefully they will stay in our country and don’t go back to their home countries otherwise we are truely f-cked. “Our Kids, Our The Future”, no they are NOT “Grievance Culture”! International students on the other hand will be playing useful roles in our future Western Liberal Democracies, they are not Woke and have real skill sets, talk about a win, win.
Self-Criticism and Univerisity Culture
“Self-criticism was necessary in one-party states because it allowed for criticism without questioning the ideology. Without admitting mistakes the power would become highly inflexible. Admitting own mistakes also allows an authority to retain the position while changing the course and without looking random and unprincipled. If there are no mistakes, but there are hurdles it means all errors are in the ideology.”
A Woke, Self-Criticism Culture that actively encourages snitching on your neighbors. That does act as its own secular religion with a puritan overtone e.g. “The White Man’s Burden”.
As others have pointed out. Unlike “Judeo Christianity” with its “Ten Commandments” a constant. This Woke Progressivism, a type of a religion can change any of its doctrines on a whim to advance its goals of pure self-righteousness, in the name of so-called “Social Justice” e.g. “Social Justice Warriors”.
The CCP and Self Criticism

If an Individual Objects to The Theory of “Equality of Outcome” at University X
What universities are starting to do is to say to these individuals. That these individuals will now be allowed the opportunity to “criticism and self-criticism” to redeem themselves. Not the right to defend one’s self, being told to self-actualize about “equity, diversity and inclusion training” and their morality and their conduct, and to reflect these findings back to a so-called committee. In laymen’s terms, this simply turns into a show trial and everyone knows it.

That was a wonderful conversation. Stuff to think about. You’re a good interviewer!
Many thanks, Achim!
HEY BAMBI THANK YOU FOR AN INTERESTING GUEST IN DR. KAMBHAMPPATI
I HAVE LITTLE TO COMMENT ON … SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MY MENTAL COMPATABILITY WITH
THE BOTH OF YOU . I FOUND MYSELF AGREEING WITH ALL THE EXCELLENT LOGIC PUT
FORWARD ON THE GOOD DRS , CASE REGARDS THAT IN TERMS OF THE TASK AT HAND ,
THE ONE THING MOST RELEVANT HAS TO BE ” WHO DO WE HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL THAT
CAN COMPLETE IT MOST EFFICIENTLY & ECONOMICALLY ” AFTER THAT QUESTION , ALL ELSE
FALLS UNDER THE CATAGORY OF ” IRRELEVANT ” !
A couple of observations , YOUR GUEST MADE A COMMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT SCIENCE
ITSELF IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED … I THINK HE WAS SAYING THAT , HE , SHOULD BE
CHALLENGED ( SO THAT HIS HYPOTHESIS MAY BE PROVEN ). AND THAT IS WHAT SCIENCE
EXPECTS . THIS WAS PERFECT TIMING BECAUSE I HEARD ON THE WEEK END DR . FAUCI
INDIGNANTLY SAY ” CRUZ & RAND PAUL QUESTIONED ME , I AM SCIENCE ! THEY ARE
WRONG ! WHEN THEY QUESTION ME …. THEY ARE QUESTIONING ” THE ” SCIENCE !
THAT IN MY MIND IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE POINT DR. KAMBHAMPATI MADE ,
AND IS AKIN TO HIS THOUGHT THAT WHEN PEOPLE TEAR DOWN RELIGION THEY MUST
REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING IT SEEMS DR. FAUCI’S REPLACEMENT IS ” DR. FAUCI ” !
ON THE DRS COMMENT ABOUT BEING FORCED IN LIFE TO ” FACE THINGS HEAD ON ”
” AS DR. PEDERSON AND GADD SAAD DECIDED TO DO ” . I MYSELF , GREW UP VERY
POOR . THE RESULT OF THAT I LEARNED EARLY ON WAS THIS . I GREW UP IN THE
VERY TOUGH NORTH END OF ” STEEL TOWN ” CANADA ! HAMILTON , ONTARIO . WERE
WHEN DIFFERENCES OCCURRED YOU HAD 2 CHOICES , RUN AWAY , OR FIGHT !
THERE IS NO W I N IN RUN AWAY ! YOU HAD BETTER LEARN TO FIGHT FOR WHAT
YOU BELIEVE IN .
BAMBI YOU KNOW THAT I HOLD YOU IN HIGH REGARD FOR THE SAME REASON I WILL NOW FEEL ESTEEME FOR DR. KAMBHAMPATI . YOU ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO
EXPRESS YOUR BELIEF’S AND ACCEPT THE BRUISES TO ” PROVE ” THEM !!!
MY APPLAUSE TO YOU AND YOUR GUEST . Russ
Bambi is so happy you enjoyed the great insights of Dr. Kambhampati! She is honoured by your words, Russ: Coming from you, they mean the world to her because you are an inspiration to her in so many ways. Stated differently, you are a vivid example of personal agency, courage, and resilience in life! To conclude, many thanks for sharing your comment about science too. Bambi can only agree with you: Science is all about questioning. Saying the opposite becomes political (regardless of who said it…).
