Gracious. Reading those titles was painful! Academia is Lackademia.

Is there a circus in town? 🤡

Am I right to assume you are saying you think a study that looks into this topic may find that there is a solid basis in reality for the old saying "women belong in the kitchen, not in the lab?"😎

That would sit nicely with the "your gut-feeling is probably right" study as my gut-feeling tells me that the people in the past were way more honest about sexual differences (read women).😉

Use A.I. brother Nuzzo.

If we have access to scientific papers, we can generate a craziness score.

And it's twin the scientific quality score, and knowledge creation value heuristic.

I bet it could be done for pennies today.

And get 10x cheaper every N months.

Iterate over the papers building reports and scores citing incoherence, illogic, framing tricks, Marxism, cultural Marxism, stand point epistemology, subjectivity, Queer Theory subversion of categories, and then all the stuff like P hacking, lack of reproducibility, citation rings, lack of parents, absurdity, statistical malpractice, meaningless results, duplication of earlier or other work without citation, subjectivity, lack of evidence etc.

Realistically, it won't be long before having a superhuman A.I. check for all the tricks, and perform static verification of a document becomes the new spell check cum peer review.

Prediction: they'll ban pronouns or any grammar of sex at all.

Tax payers' votes are cancelled out by non-tax payers and then some.

Similarly, in female dominated masculine professions and industries, the women wield super majorities.

It turns into a female playground where words are violence in their subjective, empathy driven, jealousy fuelled, collective.

Firstly, thank you James Nuzzo for posting all this, despite my being triggered. I'm yet to work out why that happens but I suspect it is something to do with me being a gay man and doing lots of therapy and self development to accept Me.

Thank you for alerting us to the madness we are currently surrounded by.

1. I haven't read every article and skimmed. For starters it’s batshit mad.

2. Has anyone else watched the uncut version of Caligula, the movie? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligula_(film) Let me say first, it has one of the best orgy scenes ever, IMO. Apparently ! the actors and whoever turned up, were told something like 'we want an orgy scene, there will be no retakes.' Apparently the actors/friends got into it. So it is not like watching porn where people act. Even Dame Helen Mirren was in the orgy scene!!

But Caligula himself was mad. Horrible. Insane. Cruel beyond doubt. Powerful. Murderous (times where I just shrunk in my chair with horror at what he did). Why no one didn't just kill him is beyond me. In this movie he portrays, IMO, someone that the world around him bows down to his every whim in fear of dying themselves or him treating them like nothing. These articles that James Nuzzo presents are like this. Society is capture by such ridiculous (Caligula would openly ridicule people in the movie) thoughts and events and the Leaders support this madness.

3. These academic papers show just how far we have gone down the cesspit. But what I find the worst is how Leaders support all this. Giving taxpayers money. Our Leaders are capture by the latest Trend. The latest minority. The latest thing that makes us look Modern!

Ayn Rand: Consider the implications of such a trend. "Censorship" is a term pertaining only to governmental action. No private action is censorship. No private individual or agency can silence a man or suppress a publication; only the government can do so. The freedom of speech of private individuals includes the right not to agree, not to listen and not to finance one's own antagonists."

To not finance these people.

How do we know that some of the things happening now a days are against our own principles? Ask yourself: if I received a personal invoice for all the worlds that these academics are promoting, doing, making, supporting, would I pay that invoice out of my own money?

I suspect a lot of us are already saying 'no' and a lot of people wouldn't pay. They might pay at first but once they get the second, third invoice , but, then I wonder what their actions would be. However, I'm aware that people I know just keep giving to charities/NGO's without thinking much.. money is easy now a days.
