“There’s a suggestion of acute narcissism, a complete lack of empathy.” – Sherlock Holmes, A Game of Shadows
Arday didn’t know much about sociology, but he said he could explain the Dunning-Kruger effect better than anyone else. (All memes this post are as-found.)
Jason Arday is not pining for the fjords. He has joined the choir invisible and is now an ex-academic. During his career and, indeed, his lifetime I cannot see anything useful he did or anything of value he contributed to humanity other than developing a technique to make his skin shiny. Beyond that, it appears that the only impact he had, at all, was in allowing liberal white ladies over the age of 40 to virtue signal when they were around him.
Arday was a construct of Arday. It appears that whenever his mouth was moving he was either lying or popping out a nonsense group of syllables intended to make himself look “smart”. Paraphrasing Matt Walsh, smart people make complicated things seem simple, dumb people make simple things seem complicated.
Arday was in the latter, but that is part of being in academia. Academics have to create a jargon that they use among themselves to make it difficult for regular people to understand. Otherwise, regular people would realize how full of shit they are.
Arday fit right in.
Jason Arday announced in a press release that he invented a new word for the English language: Plagiarism.
Yet, among a group that is often the fakest of the fake, Arday became perhaps the biggest fake in all of academia. And they closed ranks around him, and continue to close ranks around him. Why? Because if people look too closely, they might start to ask, “what is sociology and why is it considered more of a real science than, say, predicting the future by interpreting the size and shape of Obama’s moles?
But back to Arday. Why lie. I mean, he was the youngest black professor in the history of Cambridge®, which is the third-oldest operating university in the world, if you exclude Hogwarts©. So, he could have kept quiet and put his head down and lived the good life of academics pretending to be important, drinking nice booze, and eating all the bacon-wrapped shrimp he wanted.
That wasn’t Jason’s plan. No. He’d go full retard, and do things like responding to someone asking about sentence similarity between one of Arday’s papers and one of another academic with, “Instead of spending your time trying to dismantle racism and ableism, you have spent what I assume is hours combing through my work looking for mistakes.”
Ha!
See that? If you question Arday you are a racist. And a bully. And probably sick and a mean ninnypooper. He closed with, “Anything further from you will be considered bullying and harassment.”
Note that Arday never said the critic was wrong, just racist, and I guess that makes black people immune from anything in 2026.
Is a group of Karens called “a migraine”?
At some point, Arday had to see that the writing was on the wall. I mean, he had, for over a decade, put out lie after lie. And these weren’t lies like, “no, your butt looks fine in those pants” that were unverifiable.
No. He claimed to have been a professional soccer player for a top-level team in the UK. That he had a brain tumor. That he raised millions of pounds (appears to be a metric currency with “£” as the symbol) for charity. Claimed to have run 30 marathons in 35 days, one while having a broken leg. Claimed he couldn’t read until he was 18.
Arday never lied to his radiologist, he knew the radiologist would see right through him.
None of these lies really got Arday anything except attention from middle-aged white liberal women who would believe anything Arday said. Anything.
But, apparently, that’s what got Arday off. He simply could not stop lying throughout his entire life. And it worked.
Until it didn’t.
Finally, there had been enough time since St. George of Floyd died, and people finally started asking questions about all the lies and plagiarism coming from Arday. Now, it could be asked, and one Nathan Cofnas asked the question, “But how much of ‘the most ridiculous story ever told [the way Arday describe his story – JW]’ is true [emphasis in original]?”
Of course, Cofnas could not be allowed to besmirch the honor of George Floyd Jason Arday. So, Cofnas was put on probation after Arday’s suicide (and Cofnas thinks he’ll be fired) reportedly at the orders of Petra De Sutter, the transgender Belgian gynecologist (man pretending to be a woman) who runs the University.
Yes, this is the most 2020s story, ever.
Wait until the protesters find out there’s a place called the Black Sea.
At the core, though, I think the reason why Arday chose to leave this mortal coil is his narcissism. He was adored by middle-aged leftist white ladies wherever he went. He was a glistening black basset hound whose large eyes seemed to echo their sympathy back to them. “Oh, I know you’re a racist, and I know that you know you’re a racist, but I love you anyway.”
I heard one podcast he was on where he made the (white GloboLeftist) host cry by telling him how important he was to young black men. Did Arday give examples? No. He just kept softly cooing how important this man’s radio show had been. Why was it important?
Don’t know, he didn’t say. But, trust me bro, you made a difference. In this case, it was Arday’s narcissism being weaponized against a soft lefty who just wanted his virtue to be recognized.
One, like Arday, who builds a life on lies is afraid of one thing: Truth.
I’m betting that Arday didn’t write this one, but maybe one that was nearly identical.
And, thanks to Cofnas, it came rushing in. Cambridge© had to wait until it was undeniable and inevitable to move. Multiple investigations were started into Arday, since it seemed that his lies were too much even for the hard-GloboLeft bacon-wrapped shrimp eaters at Cambridge©. Maybe they were worried that he’d expose the grift and no more shrimp?
Regardless, to Arday it must have been the worst. Every lie that he made (as in, everything he ever said, likely) would be categorized and dissected and he’d have to retire to the board of directors of some GloboLeftist organization determined to import millions of non-whites into Britain and turn them into narcissists, too.
No, that wouldn’t happen. Arday would make himself bereft of life because, for him, the lie was the point. He could not live life without the love and adoration and admiration for things that he had never accomplished.
Arday was a construct of Arday, and lived and died as a lie. Except for the shiny skin. I mean, how the heck did he do that?
State trooper pulls up on a scene where semi driver has removed his D9 Cat from the trailer and is burying a Cadillac. The driver during questioning admits a group of teens attempted to run him off the road and then crashed. The trooper asks if any were alive and the driver advised that one said he was but you know how….
Yeah, happens.
Arday is no different than most politicians, CEO’s actors, etc. Power attract sociopaths and narcissists who will lie and cheat to get ahead. He was able to tell some real whoppers only because no one called him on the smaller lies (probably because he was black and that would be perceived as racist).
Are Gavin Newsom’s lies any less ridiculous than Arday’s? The audacity of the lies increases in proportion to the ignorance of the constituents. The only reason we don’t see most CEO’s telling Arday-level lies is because competent people/employees will call them on it if they do. But put a little bit of uncertainty around it, as with AI and we see people like Sam Altman and Musk telling nothing but lies (lies that will eventually crash the stock market)
Gavin Newsom’s lies are certainly more expensive than Arday’s.
Newsom is awful. Yet, no one will challenge him.
Yes its not the actor but the audience. The people are conditioned to be cowards or consumers of what he was selling. A multitude of lies is who we are. He gave them what they wanted. Just as the Court and the jester dance the same.
This is yet another nail in the coffin of “elite academia”. At this point the only people impressed by credentials from Cambridge or Oxford, Harvard or Yale, are those that have never met people from those schools.
Yup, generally not impressive.
White academia has discovered time and time again that Afros interview well and can spout gibberish in the classroom that “appears” intelligent. Then comes test time.
Utter failure. Academia surmises that the test was somehow raciss. So they let it pass, grading on the curve.
In summary, it’s fake it until you can’t make it. But they still get a hall pass. Like Arday.
And, they manufacture tens of thousands of useless degrees in “studies”.
the UC Berkley professors have issued a demand to management to reinstate SDAT requirements due to freshman not being able to do 8th grade racist math
Only the STEM profs. Rest are fine with it.
This is apparently the best thing that Arday ever did for the rest of the world. Maybe the only thing.
I haven’t been involved with hiring people in a decade (still feels weird to say that) but I had reached the conclusion to avoid the Ivy League and big name “academic” schools like that years before retirement. I’d hire a EE out of a school whose name ended in “Institute of Technology” before any Ivy League school. Like most institutions, the rot sets in years before the word starts to get around, and even 15 years ago, nobody from one of those schools got an automatic interview. The decay has only gotten worse.
Same here. I entered college in the 80’s with that naive belief that Ivy league trained engineers were better. Once in school, I couldn’t help but notice that our brightest profs usually came from small lesser known schools whereas many of our incompetent profs were Ivy/elite.
I saw this repeat itself in grad school and then again in the working world. To be fair, some elite alums were very capable (usually the more humble ones who didn’t let ego get in the way). But the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze and even our HR dept started shifting hiring away from these elite schools to other colleges with better track records.
The three best schools for that “IT” are MIT, North Avenue Trade School (aka Georgia Tech) and the daddy rabbit (Cal Tech). The Missouri School of Mines is damn good, as well. Is it stll called that?
As for Ag schools…
Textiles = NC State (sadly, a dead US Industry)
Ceramics/Auto Automation Tech = Clempson
Seed Tech/Ag AI = Miss State
Petroleum Tech = TAMU
LSU = Heavy Drinking & Hangover Tech
And, a 2-Year school that Michelin & BMW sends Clempson grads to for CNC and other training –
Greenville (SC) Tech. NO JOKE. Look it up.
Take all my LBP and other certification clsses there. Plus, Greenville has the most fanulous small urban downtown in the US. Ours in Beaufort, SC is better but too small. And we have The Fillin’ Station, our 5-Star Dive Bar a 1/2 mile east across the drawbridgeat 57 Sea Island Pkwy.
BTW, BMW’s nearby Greer plant from Greenville is the world’s largest outside of Red China.
Bingo. Average grade in Harvard a few years back was an A. So, not rigorous.
As you note, the Shakespearian tragedy that Arday put on as he strode across the stage of life and shuffled off this mortal coil is about not just one British man going full retard but also a tale of dew(-eyed) biddies. We have an American version: Lindsay Clancy.

Arday was NOT British. He was an African resident in England with a British passport. With all due respect to Shakespeare, names DO matter (besides, he put the beautiful musings about a rose in the mouth of a 14 year old female named Juliet). The left has weaponized language. Stop repeating their lies.
I don’t think he is repeating lies. Arday is listed as a British citizen….born in London to Ghanaian parents. He isn’t ethnically British, but legally he is British (at least based on the sources I could find).
Granted, he SHOULDN’T be British, but unfortunately the law says otherwise.
Magic dirt and/or magic paper citizenship is not the same as being “British.” Same way a Sikh in Chicongo is not an “Illinois” man. I repeat, language matters. Don’t use it the way the left has taught normie to.
Yeah, I might write on her. Dunno. Irritated by her.
The average nogger is mentally deficient by White standards. Highly sociopathic. Narcissistic. Criminal.
The average PhD. is also afflicted with massive self esteem and narcissism.
Cross the two and you get Arday . . . or any nogger ‘academic.’ Or ‘writer.’ Or ‘artist.’
Add the modern era’s social media and feminized desperation for attention, and cases like Arday arise.
I guarantee that, in addition to being dazzled by attention from hollyweird ‘stars,’ Doctah Fauci has an enormous “I love me” wall (filled with his certificates of achievement/recognition). Most people in academia and in DC have their own versions. I seriously considered throwing my own ‘credentials’ out when we moved, but decided to leave for my kids. Maybe they could be put to use as scrap paper for the grandkids.
When the average ‘elite’ college freshman is barely capable of middle-school math and can communicate primarily via emojis and submits papers composed by AI, I’m somehow supposed to take pride in certificates from the schools that have helped create this situation, and continue to celebrate it? When most college students are nonwhite and crafted their credentials via lies, cheating, and the worship of credentialism? I called my alma mater and had my name removed from the alum registry over 20 years ago.
Hubby and I knew/dealt with plenty of people who were or later became (in)famous – to the extent it became a joke with our oldest son. Met plenty of people highly impressed with themselves. Still come across names of people I remember (and didn’t particularly care for) who’ve written ‘x’ or who have held various positions of influence and/or authority. It’s sad what’s become of the once noble ideas of scholarship and institutions dedicated to ‘learning.’ Now older and (hopefully) wiser, I’m far more impressed by people who are capable of building and fixing things and getting work done. I find I much prefer your average ‘hillbilly’ to the denizens of D.C.
Elite ain’t what it used to be.
I am very proud to say
“Who the heck is Jason Arday?”
I wish his glistening face had never shown up.
Milli Vanilli is funny & sad at the same time. Trying to impress the drooling mongoloid hive didn’t end well for him.
The best part of the Frankfurt School Long March is the total beclowning of EDU world.
Milli Vanilli is a great example – when exposed, one of them offed himself.
