The schools are pumping out more of these zombies every day.
They are so righteously sure they hold the final answer, that all you out there should just shut up and sit down. How can anybody work out a compromise with that attitude?
Large groups of any society are apt to become fractious when inappropriate limitations are placed upon them. When the attitudes become too intransigent, civil discourse is no longer possible.
Somebody once said, to jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war. Winston Churchill, I think. A man wise far beyond his times.
Parents who truly hate their children send them to Public “Schools”.
Not only that, but they are worthless by any measure. JordanPeterson has commented extensively about these TWOTs. He is a published and accomplished author on clinical psych. One thing he notes in the field (with which I can related since I’ve also done research — not that field) is that the value of your research is reflected in how it is used to further scientific exploration. Each paper should (if it has value) be used as a stepping stone to more research, and more papers. That is how science works and how you can know if what you did is appreciated.
On this, he noted that of the hundreds if not thousands of papers/theses published on issues like gender, equity, inclusion, yada, yad — they are not referenced once. Not once.
So, all of these “knowledgeable” publications are worth nothing even within the field, much less without.
Next time someone pontificates ask them how many references they have, how many times in other papers is their work used. If they don’t know this, either it never was or they don’t have the ego to have checked — which is even less likely.
