Oh no, not the professor who recalled an episode plot from that JJ Abrams Fringe TV show from a decade ago, and oh no, not an argument on psychometrics you can ignore. And IQ measurements are a thing that appears to correlate with a bunch of stuff, damn those crazy academics.

My point is despite Quillette and the IDW's overall attempt to paint academia as a Stalinist conformity factory, all of the subjects they claim are forbidden and overly politicised are discussed freely and openly and the exceptions don't constitute a "crisis in free science"

You're exactly one anecdotal data point, which is not exactly convincing to me versus the larger statistics and polling.

Lol show me statistical data or representative polling on how much SJW interference is going on in the hard sciences There isn't any, there's just a series of anecdotes coming from the Quillette/IDW folks. Which, I guess are more than 1, but are also from a clearly biased source

I'm talking about all sciences, including social sciences. Again, google "psychology replication crisis", then see how many findings used to fortify leftist ideology were later found unreplicable: stereotype threat, IAT, trigger warning effectiveness, priming(excuses censorship).

Aldrechta Retweeted Peter Boghossian
All the identity/grievance studies are a load of garbage that sets knowledge back, the ratio of administrators to faculty keeps growing keeps increasing, the important thing is to of course lash out at the academic whistleblowers showing the lack of rigor:https://twitter.com/peterboghossian/status/1154395558053732352 …

Meanwhile, attitudes on campus keep changing in ways easily demonstrated through elementary statistics and what you want, with students growing more censorious, is for professors to be legislated to comply with their personal standards:https://heterodoxacademy.org/the-skeptics-are-wrong-part-2/ …

In SciAm, by the witchfinder general Angela Saini, as to why open science(which can prevent further replication crisis in different fields) needs to be muzzled, referencing her own screed in Nature. She's in it to sell imaginary scandal and her awful book.pic.twitter.com/cil0Vbxk8m

...you do know this is a real thing, right? Emil Kirkegaard is the most obvious example of someone with no actual scientific degree but who keeps putting out research in open journals that is meant to support racism and gender discrimination

He has a BA in literature but claims he's a "self-taught" geneticist and psychologist and just spews out an endless fountain of "research" cribbed from other peoples' results to bolster his pretty much open Nazi political beliefs

It's actually linguistics, you know, a scientific field, making me a person who holds a degree in a scientific field, although a minor degree and the wrong field, but nonetheless.pic.twitter.com/yqhZqctzss
