Anti-Trump, pro-Biden Big Science is just as bad as Pro-Biden, Anti-Trump Big Tech.

This is a response to a Harvard Social Scences faculty member related to a Charles Murray presentation, but the core point is valid in this thread:

Science is not mathematics. Newtonian physics was wrong.
And social science is a further three rungs down in certainty from science.

Your level of certainty and arrogance about what can be said, and probably thought, smacks of religion, and not science. This is a political religion that permeates academia at the moment. And which I am fairly sure you will swear does not infect you, while the rest of us can see the symptoms quite plainly.

Only religions ban heretics from speaking because of the wrong-think they might cause. Real science loves a good heretic. In fact, honestly, the entire goal of science is to be a heretic. To have an idea that no other person ever had. Science is the pretty much the antithesis of your thought-police approach.

And most of academia used to be the antithesis of your thought police approach as well, until the religion of leftism took it over, with the direct help of people like you.
