Most people who value scholarship at all have confidence in universities to ensure rigorous knowledge production.Most liberals think any discipline which studies social justice must be doing good work or fear that by pointing out that it is not good, they undermine social justice

We need to point out problems in epistemology & ethics in certain academic approaches to social justice because, tho, small, they have profound influence on a society which cares about social justice. We need to do this properly & not be afraid to say it isn't being done properly

Exactly! A friend of mine who's not academic but very into pomo stuff on here was complaining to me about the 'ridiculous implicit bias' training he had to do at work! I had to explain that what he was complaining about was the result of applied pomo moving out of the academy.

An entire cottage industry has been built around the implicit association test and now it's starting to come out that the whole thing is bunk. It reminds me a lot of scientology and their little thetan-measuring paddles: technology-assisted religious thinking.
