In laboratories and universities, the spirit of Trofim Lysenko has suddenly been woke

Whenever science has been corrupted by falling prey to ideology, scientific progress suffers. [To] stem the slide, scientific leaders, scientific societies and senior academic administrators must publicly stand up not only for free speech in science, but for quality, independent of political doctrine and divorced from the demands of political factions.

— Lawrence Krauss

Uzbrukumi ir reāli. Viens no nesen labi zināmajiem bija uzbrukums S. Pinkeram.

Lai gan Pinkeram izdevās izkļūt sveikā, bija pārsteidzoši, cik daudzi to mēģināja racionalizēt.

Šeit ir raksts, kas labi to izskaidro:

So what motivated the letter-writers to launch their righteous attack on Pinker? "It is part of a larger movement to try to accuse as many people as possible of various forms of prejudice and bigotry in the belief that is the way to make the world a better place," argues Pinker. His critics are embracing a mindset that "does not see the world as having complex problems that we ought to understand better, the better to diagnose and treat, but rather as a kind of warfare between powerful elites and oppressed masses."

"In this mindset," he notes, "analysis, debate and evidence are just tools of propaganda exercised by those in power and that what has to happen is not a deeper understanding of social problems but a wresting of power from elites and redistributing it to disenfranchised."

Pinker believes he was targeted as part of a larger movement "seeking monsters to destroy." That is practitioners of what has been called "Offense Archaeology" go after prominent people by "trolling through tweets and through statements seeking to find evidence—however tortured—that there are signs of prejudice behind them."

He adds, "It's also part of these new exegetical tools that woke culture has deployed where disagreement is now labeled 'silencing' and 'drowning out' and 'harm.' Now the false ascription of belief is now the detection of 'dogwhistles'—an intriguing tool of hermeneutics in which you can accuse anyone of saying anything even if they didn't say it because you can always hear the dogwhistle if you yourself are a canine with hypersonic hearing."

	Jā, un viņš nav ne tuvu vienīgais. No šaurākās aprindās tikpat plaši pazīstamiem vārdiem Stīvens Hsu ir vēl viens pavisam nesens piemērs, pie kam šādā veidā "tīrīti" tiek ne tikai cilvēki, bet arī publikācijas, grāmatas utt. (Atbildēt uz šo) (Iepriekšējais)
