Science And The End Of Inquiry Ideologues always believe they have all the answers Sotonye Science has reached the point of pronouncing the final completion of its wisdom, an end to the dark age of inquiry and the rise of the era of enlightenment, with the termination of all human-related questions in social justice. The scientist has no need to investigate into any matter where human beings and their differences are concerned, she has a priori knowledge received from on high. Observation of phenomena, theories of their provenance, testing hypotheses, posing conclusions, this is the process of an inferior epistemology.  This is the implied message in Nature’s new piece on the importance of avoiding any possible stigmatization of minority communities through research into their differences. All minority demographics lie beyond the scope of our questions, and the matter is permanently settled. Here are a few excerpts from the prestigious scientific journal:  Although academic freedom is

Critical Race Theory: Academic Malfeasance and Fraudulence Although sometimes dubbed “the ivory tower,” the academy is anything but a quaint exception to or ancillary adjunct of the real world.

Nope.  Not happening.  There are more of us than them.  We will not eat the bugs.   WATCH:  [ Transcript ] –  What’s being done to us, or tried on us at least, isn’t working … and it isn’t working and won’t work because what we’re being pushed to accept as the new world makes no sense. The supposed utopia we’re being promised – or, rather, having rammed down our throats – is one in which there is no universal truth, no absolute and trusted truth, but only personal truth that trumps all else.
