In many ways, the family saga runs a blinkered race, eyes locked on the straightaway between the present and its most obvious progenitors — those who managed, despite every obstacle or with the assistance of every unjust privilege, to reproduce.

I was fairly certain I knew what he would say; but that I was not totally sure, that we had not discussed any of it for so long, seemed like an emotional infraction within our marriage, lazy and blinkered.

It's possible to read all this—the circular self-obsessions, the cretinous sophistication, the various blinkered fixations that make it all so denuded and arch and inhuman—as symptoms of a broader and possibly terminal decadence loose in the culture.

The Constant Contrary CommentFor every article or post about a major celebrity or organization, political entity or issue, there is bound to be someone down there calling you an idiot sheep blinkered to the harsh reality of your sheeply life.

The episode was a decent footnote to a piece Politico founding editor John Harris wrote recently arguing that mainstream pundits like himself, had been blinkered for years by "centrist bias," putting them out of touch with the country's changing ideological currents.

From the blinkered viewpoint of the model, which sees the world through a narrowly focused economic lens, the problem, for the Democrats, starts with a handicap that is built into the equations: A two-term incumbent is in the White House.

Their blinkered view of the world has the veneer of respectability, may go along with an appearance of thoughtfulness, but in reality it's just as impervious to evidence — maybe even more so, because it has the power of groupthink behind it.

As a gifted actress in an industry with blinkered ideas of how leading ladies should look, she credits her success, in part, to being "just, like, really stubborn" and believing that you "have to own who you are," she said.

But there is room here for liberalism to take advantage of the Trump Republicans' retreat from populism, and to advance a left-wing version of the politics of work and family that the blinkered G.O.P. should champion but refuses to embrace.

The blinkered approach was not limited to Saudi Arabia — the West dealt with the Soviet Union and scores of other despotic regimes to prevent war, ensure supplies of oil and other raw materials and, in recent decades, to combat terrorism.

"An overly blinkered approach focused on simply cutting immigration to tens of thousands and focusing only on high skilled employees could leave employers high and dry, especially those who rely on EU migrants to fill low-skilled jobs," Davies said.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the Paris Peace Forum, which followed a ceremony in the French capital to mark the centenary of the end of World War One, with a warning that "blinkered" nationalism was gaining ground in Europe and beyond.

Even if one skipped over Cobb's prelude, the blinkered ideas that the issue of single-parent families is seemingly endemic to majority Black communities in the United States, and that this issue ripples outward to destabilize the larger social sphere permeate our culture.

For most of the story, we have watched Charlie and Nicole talk in a furtive, curtailed way about the things that really bothered them — broken promises, an infidelity, a partner's blinkered selfishness — and instead rely on their lawyers to do the real mudslinging.

Even though, compared with wild horses, livestock graze on eight times as much federally managed land and consume 55 times the amount of food, a blinkered bureau sees the wild horses as the problem — despite explicit orders from Congress to protect them.

But I've gotten tired of his cruelty and blinkered sociopathy and his monomania over the past two seasons, not to mention his frustrating illogic in spending 30 years heading to an escapist fantasy world, then loathing it and everyone in it for being a fantasy.

Coming from Woods, who has a history of dating much younger women — he dated 19-year-old Ashley Madison when he was 59, and 20-year-old Kristen Bauguess when he was 66 — that statement seemed a bit blinkered, as Hammer pointed out on Twitter.

Ms. Lane (whose natural commanding presence is put to strangely artificial use) portrays the love-blighted Ranevskaya, who returns to her provincial childhood home, where her older brother, Gaev (John Glover, looking and acting like a wonky Roald Dahl character), lives in blinkered idleness.

There are few people in technology more infuriating than Y Combinator's Paul Graham, who earlier this month dropped a brilliant summary and analysis of the ongoing refragmentation of modern societies, followed immediately by a blinkered, muddled, wrong-headed essay on technology's role in economic inequality.
|

Additionally, Meleko Mokgosi's "Walls of Casbah" (2010–2012) show the real power of critique by adding his handwritten marginalia to museum captions: his more intimate and comprehensive knowledge supersedes the erudition of the museum professional who is clearly shown to write from a blinkered perspective.

She's gone from the blinkered faux-amateur-sleuth of Season 1 to a more hardened soul who presents the most appalling of the city's (and by extension, the country's) outrages with the wisdom of someone who might be accepting the things she (probably) cannot change.
|

On its own this would not be enough to cause the ructions we are experiencing, but combine it with wage stagnation, austerity and a blinkered repudiation of the progressive-liberal tools needed to improve things, then the necessary conditions for a great disruption are in place.
|

More specifically they suggest it will encourage platforms into algorithmically pre-filtering all user uploads — aka #censorshipmachines — and then blinkered AIs will end up blocking fair use content, cool satire, funny memes etc etc, and the free Internet as we know it will cease to exist.

Let's not affirm hyperbolic notions of great art and the Great Album, nor pretend that albums only began working as artistic entities in 1967, nor subscribe to a blinkered view of rock history that assumes the '60s as central, original, and superior to every other period.

"Its blinkered determination to agree the Hinkley deal ... means that for years to come energy consumers will face costs running to many times the original estimate," said Meg Hiller, chair of the cross-party Public Accounts Committee, which published a report on the Hinkley deal on Wednesday.

|
Since he didn't resist saying what was on his mind, some of his later essays appeared not in art magazines — which can be blinkered, especially if the artist's writings can be dismissed as self-serving — but as contributions to catalogs accompanying his exhibitions around the world.

He pokes holes in the story humans in the Western world have been telling themselves for centuries: that we were once blinkered by myth and superstition, but then the ancient Greeks discovered reason and, later, the Enlightenment cemented rationality as the highest value in human life.

And yet this, too, seems to be under threat, thanks to an economically transactional and morally blinkered species of a foreign policy whose only question is "what's in it for us?" and would trade all that we've gained, all our idealism, for a mess of pottage.

She writes that "there is hope on the road" — a blinkered view in 2017, after the passage of Arizona SB 1070, which required law enforcement to request the immigration papers of anyone suspected of being in the country illegally (portions of the bill have since been overturned).
|

That, again, doesn't mean journalists or critics should get away with criticism rooted in sexism or racism or an otherwise blinkered point of view, but I wish more artists could accept that even though they may be the subject of a given piece, they aren't necessarily its intended audience.

This blinkered view allows the commercial failure of "Dazed and Confused" (1993) to be attributed to a lack of studio support rather than, say, to its ultraspecific snapshot of 1970s American experience, likely to appeal primarily to those who came of age around the same time as its director.
|

Yet, as with her fellow Nobel laureates William Faulkner, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Saul Bellow, she magnified her experience and the history of her people through language and imagery that made it impossible for all but the most blinkered skeptics to see something of themselves in her books.

Even if the major centres in these countries are more metropolitan than most areas, the fact that their establishments are split between multiple locations—Berlin and Munich, Toronto and Montreal, Sydney and Melbourne, Barcelona and Madrid, Namur and Brussels, Edinburgh and Glasgow—probably makes these less complacent, blinkered and self-regarding.

It should be a source of national shame that there isn't a tax-payer supported apparatus to fill in the gap left by a white-dominated private film finance infrastructure that is mostly interested in telling stories that reflect the blinkered world views and experiences of those on the inside.

But, contrary to the increasingly popular image of the tech industry as callow blinkered hotheads, I doubt there's a single serious AI researcher on the planet who isn't already very aware of this problem, many-to-most of whom are already pondering ways to make their algorithms equitable, transparent, and accountable.

While victories seem to prove Ty somewhat right while defeats support Claude, they respectively appear to talk most sense the other way round: Ty's pragmatism in defeat and Claude's realism in victory both serve as a moderate, realistic counter-balance to what's being shouted, such is the atmosphere of blinkered tribalism.

In books like "Founding Brothers," which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001, and "American Sphinx," a brilliantly drawn portrait of Jefferson, Ellis renders the founders in fine shadings: wise and bold and prescient, yes, but also, at times, blinkered and uncertain, men in conflict with one another and even themselves.

I've read pieces like this one on Jacobin arguing that black voters are too blinkered to notice that people like Biden have been betraying them his entire career and the implication is that they're suffering from some kind of false consciousness as opposed to just not buying what Sanders is selling.

The plan itself is an encouraging step, filled though it may be with blind spots, rampant vagueness, inflated expectations, and contradictions—because it shows that even the legendarily blinkered Bezos can be pushed to change course, and it demonstrates the power and potential of good organizing in the tech sector.

This demeaning cat-and-mouse game may be shocking to some of the president's most blinkered advocates, but it only illustrates what any cleareyed observer has been able to see all along, which is that Mr. Trump cares more about protecting himself, his business and his family than anything else.
|
|
But beyond the simple realities of Team Red versus Team Blue, this left-wing viewpoint is all too blinkered, missing the fundamental point of Donald Trump: He isn't just a president for many on the right; he's a bulwark, a fighter, a state of mind with an 87 percent approval rating among Republicans.

During the course of a recent text conversation, centered on Giuliani's blinkered claims that Joe Biden had somehow tried to protect his son, Hunter Biden, in Ukraine, Giuliani sent me a text about Manafort—a man I hadn't mentioned before, and who had seemingly nothing to do with Hunter's work in the country.

Call of Duty is too big to fail by now, at least for the next few years, but Infinite Warfare's orbital assaults have already proved spectacularly divisive, to say the least, making the packed-alongside-it Modern Warfare remaster an essential sweetener for the bummed-out blinkered sorts bemoaning a departure from tradition.

She had an official Snapchat account with a "Yaaas, Hillary!" logo that was also a T-shirt, a posed #yas photo with the stars of Broad City, custom Hillary Bitmoji, ironic cross-stitch art, and other signifiers of "yas" culture that's since become emblematic of a certain kind of blinkered white feminism.

"Once his name was in the frame and he was arrested, the police became blinkered, fitting the crime around him rather than seeing if he did in fact fit the crime," says Neil Humber, a former journalist whose long campaign formed the basis of Shirley's appeal, which led to his exoneration in 2003.

While covering Wilson's murder last year, the New Yorker's Doreen St. Felix wrote: There is a blinkered symmetry to the way Americans have been taught to understand violence that is gendered and violence that is racialized: the victims of the former are white women; the victims of the latter are black men.
|

It seems these changes are geared to address criticisms leveled at Clark's original series: it was blinkered, ignored the rich artistic traditions of the rest of the world, and featured a parade of great men ("one damn genius after the next," in Beard's own words) — discussed and analyzed by another great man.

"We have stopped in our tracks and this has caused a crisis of rejection by public opinion," said their host, Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, noting Britons' repudiation of the EU. He said the failure to push the project forward during a decade of economic slump had fueled a re-emergence of "blinkered nationalism".

Yet under the leadership of the blinkered Trump administration and the Sunni dictators to which it has hitched America's wagons, these forces of potential progress in Iran are being given few choices but to look elsewhere for weapons to defend their Shiite faith and their nation against the weapons being stockpiled by their Sunni enemies.

Vicki and Justin wondered what it would be like to bring up a nonwhite child in Sioux County, and Vicki wondered, too, if she wanted to raise any kind of kid in the blinkered and censorious atmosphere of Orange City, which she was now even more conscious of than she had been growing up.

If this blinkered ideology had governed over the last few decades we never would have seen such leaps forward as airbags and catalytic converters, kids would still breathe toxic lead from car emissions, we would still suffer from acid rain, Denver would still be hidden within a brown cloud, and rivers would still catch fire.
|

I've heard every argument you could imagine: the notion that British police must now be lording it over the poor defenseless population; the blinkered insistence that there must have been a rise in crime with illegal guns and legal knives now all the good people with guns have been taken out of the equation.

And social media makes it much easier for the hard left to organise and consolidate than it was back then: Momentum is Militant with a Facebook account and a sympathetic media eco-system (think Novara, The Canary and other blinkered but popular pro-Corbyn websites, their reach amplified by the echo chambers of Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat).

The bilious bad faith and blinkered pomposity and annihilating involuted stupidity of the past couple weeks are not any less present in September than they are in February, and if you're enough of a defective that you'd cross the street to shame a sexual harassment victim in the first place, you probably don't mind stepping over a snowdrift or two to do it.

So "Watermelon Man" became something more than a slinky strut, segueing into a clavinet funk shuffle like the one on Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." he fired off a keytar solo that highlighted the unusual skill set for that instrument: a different touch and sense of phrase than at the piano; a blinkered willingness to court ridicule in the service of play.
|

Professor Scully not only encouraged many young architects to become preservation activists; he also encouraged them to look with fresh eyes at modern buildings that the blinkered Modernists had dismissed, like the romantic and urbanistically appropriate New York skyscrapers of the 1920s and the Collegiate Gothic quadrangles designed by James Gamble Rogers that Yale built to maintain its identity within an industrial city.

Getting to the finish line is not seamless — the last part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and final book in the series, has some lumpy passages of exposition and a couple of clunky detours — but the overall conclusion and its determination of the main characters' story lines possess a convincing inevitability that make some of the prepublication speculation seem curiously blinkered in retrospect.

The winter of 2017 revealed stark contrasts between a vision of the country held by millions of blinkered Americans who insisted that the president's attitude toward immigrants and minorities was "not the America" they knew and a fuller vision of history and society, including what has so often been buried under the rubric of "African-American history," as though African-American history had little or nothing to do with American history.

For the defects of public opinion were caused not just by biased newspapers, or blinkered reporters, or a lack of government-sponsored research institutes, or even by the growing number of secrets being kept by the American administrative state—the deepest problems were caused by the way people, all people, selected what they wanted to see and hear, filtering information through unavoidable "stereotypes," a word that Lippmann introduced into the lexicon of American social science.

The Mario and Sonic releases are sold on their cast of decades-long-known anthropomorphic avatars rather than their selection of events, and with fencing, table tennis and hammer throwing hardly rivaling the NFL for viewing figures, converting these sports into intuitive interactive games is something I think we'll now see an end to, outside of Nintendo's blessedly blinkered commitment to the cause (no doubt in some way informed by the company's continuing dedication to improving its players' "quality of life").
