Professor: Replace ‘Traditional Science’ With ‘Anti-Science, Antiracist, Feminist Approach’
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2017 | Eric Owens

A women’s studies professor at the University of California, Davis has declared that the time has come to replace “traditional science” with “a much needed anti-science, antiracist, feminist approach to knowledge production.”

The professor is Sara Giordano, according to Campus Reform.

Giordano, who has a Ph.D. in neuroscience but has chosen to pursue a career in the field of gender, sexuality and women’s studies, expounds on her thesis in a lengthy essay in Catalyst, a feminist theory journal.

In her 6,611-word treatise (with only three footnotes), Giordano calls on women to “challenge the authority of Science” by “rewriting knowledge” in a way that “explicitly unsticks Science from Truth and therefore opens up possibilities to unstick Being/Power/Truth/Freedom from Coloniality.”

Science is a root cause — perhaps the root cause — of “racial hierarchy,” “genocide,” “slavery” and “exploitation,” the sexuality and women’s studies professor claims.

“Traditional science” depends on “a colonial and racialized form of power,” Giordano says. “These genealogies demonstrate the co-construction of Science with the globalization of racial hierarchy, both of which together naturalize and justify domination through acts of genocide, slavery, and other forms of exploitation. At the root of the justification for social inequality then is Western science (together with philosophy and other modern disciplines).”

Science is also the cause of the evils of capitalism.

Neuroscience should be a useful major. I think that the doctoral program at The University of Chicago is good. My cousin’s son has a PhD in biomedical science from there.

“We have educated ourselves into imbecility,” quipped the noted English journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, as he bemoaned the many nefarious ideas that are shaping modern beliefs. Venting an identical disillusionment in his commentary on American culture, George Will averred that there is nothing so vulgar left in our experience for which we cannot transport some professor from somewhere to justify it. - Ravi Zacharias

Government recognition of actual Science, the study of things as they are, is Unconstitutional influence of secular society by Religion. What we know as science and its formal study was invented and developed in the Catholic Universities of the Middle Ages and much of the knowledge that sparked and informed that study was copied from the Greeks et al by Catholic monks in their scriptoria. That cannot be permitted to be studied in a secular democracy.

I've read a lot of books, I have several hundred books in my office and home. Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue about what this idiot is saying? I feel like I wasted valuable time trying to understand what the hell IT is trying convey.

Science in essence is the unrelenting search for the truth.

The more I've read of this the more I'm certain it's some sort of elaborate joke. Derrida used to play this game, wherein a sentence consisted of common words is meaningless unless each term is deconstructed, stripped of its original meaning to mean something else that only the writer and reader know. It's a mildly amusing model of discourse but not a particularly useful one.

Her screed is 6000 words long. Try to imagine wading through 6000 words of linguistic nihilism. I wouldn't try it for real; Lord only knows what's in there with you.
