It's merely a group of people who happen to share a common background using that common background and speak out against systemic racism. To show it is a threat to hard sciences, you would have to show that they are attempting to change research outcomes to obtain a pre-desired result.

An Italian scientist on the worldwide laboratory CERN, dwelling to the Massive Hadron Collider, had his scheduled seminar on statistical imbalances between the sexes in physics canceled and his place on the laboratory revoked as a result of he advised that obvious inequities may not be straight as a result of sexism. A gaggle of linguistics college students initiated a public petition asking that the psychologist Steven Pinker be stripped of his place as a Linguistics Society of America Fellow for such offenses as tweeting a New York Instances article they disapproved of.

What is it with these articles by Krauss stripping away the names of the people who did and dancing around what they were doing. Stephen Hsu was openly advocating for eugenics! Hsu also had a holocaust denier on his podcast and he likewise appeared on a white supremacists podcast. I think it's quite fair game for a university to decide whether they want to remain associated with someone who is doing that.
The Italian scientist that Krauss bemoans is Alessandro Strumia, still looking into him.
They should have stuck to physics.Last edited by Leonhard; 07-15-2020, 08:34 AM.

Is it just me, or does the diction/grammar of this essay sound wonky?
It reads like it was written by someone who had the text translated to English...
For example, WTH is a "goal mental requirement"?Last edited by Whateverman; 07-15-2020, 09:12 AM.
