Expert researchers in STEM fields are already in great danger of being pushed aside by activists of the proper opinion. The rest of us will pay in the longer run
Article content
Hudlicky’s research productivity is admirable and rare. The mere fact that he obtained a position as a Canada Research Chair meant that his department, as well as the relevant federal governmental agency, both determined he was a fish well worth landing. Plus, the universities that hire researchers competent enough to be considered for a Canada Research Chair competition are not doing those they are attempting to recruit any favour by offering them a position; rather, it is an honour for the university to be chosen by the researcher in question.
Hudlicky’s paper in Angewandte Chemie was peer-reviewed positively, judged as desirable by the relevant editorial staff, and published. This meant that it managed the difficult job of passing through the eye of a needle, and entering the kingdom of heaven, at least as far as research chemists might be concerned. But some of Hudlicky’s surmises with regard to the state of organic synthesis raised the ire of a Twitter mob howling about “academic feudalism” and calling it an “antidiversity screed.”

Jordan Peterson: The activists are now stalking the hard scientists

The Church of Woke demands that Galileo recant. The Earth does not revolve around the Sun. The Earth revolves around Racism.
Objective truth is being destroyed. What could go wrong.
He’s just discovering this now?
WOKE ‘scientists’ don’t have to research - so they can work faster.
That’s a big advantage.
All they have to do is get a hundred of their fellow ‘scientists’ to sign a letter to the New York Times saying they ‘all agree’... and it’s ‘settled science’. Who can argue with that? /s
Any scientist who still believes natural selection even after the Cambrian Explosion shows the math of natural selection is off by a factor of one thousand, ain't a scientist.
Any scientist who's believed he's been right for the past 20 to 30 years every time he said we had only 5 or 10 years left before the north pole is ice free, ain't a scientist.
It's not rocket science people.
Oh Canada?
Science can no longer be settled as this would be colonial. Future science must be indigenous.
“He’s just discovering this now?”
No. He’s been talking about it for years.
Camille Paglia said that women’s studies lost all credibility when you could get the degree without a single biology course on the biological differences between men and women.
While Peterson is Canadian, it is not just Canada.
lol - good one magoo...
Jordan Peterson, still fighting the good fight.
I recommend his latest book.
Peterson has been talking about the danger of promoting equity for a couple of years. Hudlicky has just given an example of what Critical Race Theory will do to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Wow!
You said it so well!
If you have any control, authority or influence in your work environment, then it is your duty to remove, transfer, demote, RIF or fire progressives.
Good hunting but more importantly good firing.
