I know it was an organisation in the film Children of Men but I think the name "the human project" is terrific.
And the loop closes with "shut down STEM." The institutions tasked with nurturing the human project make a symbolic display of their willingness to kill it to suit the tastes of the moment.https://twitter.com/NatureNews/status/1270383425392906241 …

This seems like a hyperbolic characterization of what the movement is about. It's not trying to end science – it's trying to get scientists to take further steps to include more black people, which would probably strengthen, not weaken, the scientific project.

It seems to be a pledge to shut down normal operations for a day and use that time to take tangible action. I don't think that amounts to a symbolic display to, "kill it," so much as an effort to turn words into action.

I don't know what you think "shut down" or "symbolic" mean. But I'm betting it's way easier for you, broadly, if they don't mean much of anything.

I think requiring police to have a STEM degree might be a better idea.
