It's Groundhog Day again!
Ummm, that academia is rather monolithic in various ways at odds to the general wisdom is hardly news to anyone.
It is only in academia that Marxism still reigns in the humanities, and that Darwinism is unchallenged despite many advances. It is sort of like physicists had kept the Bohr atom and merely relegated QM to the margins if one cares to bother. Spontaneous Equilibrium, doesnt that contradict Darwinist gradualism? And what of catastrophism? Is that still heresy? Or other means of selection induced by changes in regard to the fitness of ones rivals and predators? Or simple dumb luck? Or deliberate handicapping behavior?
Bah, Darwin is now Moses, and Jesus and Marx all wrapped up into one and it is galling to consider how much science has been buried by Darwinists able to do so because his materialistic determinism gives so many an excuse for their ....well differences.
But this too will pass as the faith of Abraham conquors all the Earth.
