I guess we should “mansplain” to her that science and technology aren’t the same thing.

Without science staying science, which is where modern climatology has also failed (it is a technological pursuit of SWAGs) we can’t have a technology which works.

Technology may be used for social ends, certainly. And we may debate about what ends are worth pursuing.

We can’t invent our own truth though.

The mission of the Free Radicals is to enact political and social change by advocating scientists “think through the hidden assumptions in their methodological approaches and challenges researchers to think more deeply about the political implications of their work,” its website states

I remember when “science” meant “the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.” I used to respect science back when it was all about learning the truth.

By definition, “an open and responsible science that works toward progressive social change” is not a science.

So instead of theory supported by data gathered from experimentation/observation we have this is the answer based on what the gender studies professor down the hall says it should be.

Wonderful...

Translation: no scientific findings which contradict Progressive orthodoxy will be tolerated. Do not even try to question global warming, or find any genetic basis to intelligence.

I’m not finished laughing at feminist Math, which teaches that the correct answer to a math problem is the one that makes you feel best about yourself. The Anthro Dept at UMass destroyed itself when it turned to feminist anthropology some years ago. Feminist anthro teaches that only women have made advances in anthro.

I wonder how many members of university faculties and administrations in this country have heard the name Trofim Lysenko.

Science is hard to do. It requires intelligence, persistence, diligence, and no small amount of clever creativity.

These harridans possess none of the above characteristics ... so out of Envy and Pride, they seek to destroy science.

= postmodernist deconstructionism:

Reality is not objective or independent of man but is constructed by man. So scientists can construct a reality that furthers the libtard agenda.
