Science has been infiltrated by people who don’t really care about science, but insist that it conform to their rules of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
On Legal Insurrection, Leslie Eastman writes about the damage this is doing to innovation. Referring to Nature, she writes, “The journal recently published an analysis of a report that showed the proportion of publications that send a field in a new direction (i.e., innovation) has plummeted over the past half-century.”
The problem, Eastman explains, is that “narrative science is pushed and promoted, and those whose have data and explanations that do not conform to the prevailing (and largely unscientific) narrative are maligned, demonized, and their further research is censored and unfunded.”
That was indisputably true during the Covid “crisis” but goes back further and is far more widespread.
We desperately need real scientists to broom out the “woke” elements so they can get back to work.
