No Con-science?

“To date, more than 20 Nobel Prize winners have had papers retracted”

The politicization of the university.  Agenda and narrative driven "education".  Add in the natural tendency of left-leaning people to the academic life vs. doing and accomplishing real things.  Mix in government grants that often have a specific goal/outcome in mind when the studies are funded.  Is anyone surprised that "science" and "scientists" are losing their credibility?

20+ Nobel Laureates' papers retracted?!?  Amazing.  And, sadly, not so amazing.

It is a bit of a long read.

DEI Math, DIE.

Let us take the numbers out of math.  Then the outcomes will be . . . still different but not so numerically starkly different that the results are prima facie scientific evidence of differences in cognitive abilities.  It's just (kind of) science.

If you weren’t paying attention.  Math is now racist and oppressive to folks work low test scores.    Ha    I joke.   Or do I?

The algo is weird.  Often political videos won’t embed.  Some liberal lady on the news saying 2+2 is not 4 it is racist and could be 5 if we’re being objective

I would argue it could be 3.2841.   Prove me wrong.

I think it’s 1.618 though

2+2=4pi/pi

I’ll bet they’d figure out how to do math using numbers if you took away their gov’t checks.

That is just so crazy  .....   It just might work!!!!!
