  1. When politics mixes with science, politics doesn’t become science…..science becomes politics. In other words, true science destroys itself.

  4. There was a time, I recall, when Scientific American was a pretty decent publication.

  5. L – When the Scientific American publishes articles absent the scientific method. It ceases
    to be a scientific publication. When it publishes articles whose underlying premise is
    there is no such thing as truth. There is only power.

    The status of the name: Scientific American evaporates slowly into the ether. Replaced by
    a mental vacuum; nothing to weigh or measure, no being at all, only nothingness.

  6. In the last paragraph of this opinion piece, the authors reference “Plessy VS Fergusson” in order to impose yet more reparations upon the victors of this fight, without stating how a part of Plessy VS Fergusson can be valid, while the rest of it cannot be valid.

    Do they really want this? recall that Plessy VS Ferguson upheld the Jim Crow laws, and imposed “separate but equal” which was anything but equal.

    And, did anyone think to ask the asian students which are not permitted to take their rightful percent of places within universities because they’re “just too damn smart”?

  7. The racists in question, one is a fish biologist and the other is a beneficiary:

    Stacy Farina is an assistant professor in the Department of Biology at Howard University studying evolutionary biomechanics. She also writes about the history of scientific racism in the fields of evolutionary biology and zoology. Follow Stacy Farina on Twitter

    K Amacker is a Black, first-generation undergraduate and graduate student from South Central Los Angeles. As a Black student from a disadvantaged background, K advocates for the advancement of Black and brown students in higher education. K received a B.S. in Biology from Howard University. They are currently a third year Ph.D. student studying the evolution of organismal anatomy and physiology at HU.

    1. STEM fields are generally meritocracies because they are based in objective reality.

      You can’t make math and science work with wokist unicorn farts and gender fluidity. Math, science, engineering, and Technology work because they are rooted in objective reality, consistent phenomena, physical laws, and mountains of accurate data.

      Diversity isn’t a strength for science and math. Diversity is, at best, irrelevant to science and math.

  9. Hey, does anyone know if there are any odds makers giving odds on whether or not Shiny will come down with COVID just before his testimony at the Emergencies Act Commission?

  10. The people who run scientific American can live in houses, work in buildings, and use tools that were made without any mathematics. Cause math is racist.

  12. In related news have you ever noticed in the background of protesting primary hair coloured, bestudded students there are Asian students eyes down scurrying to their next class. Even restricted to 19% enrolment they’re probably eating the others’ scholastic lunches.

  14. The absolute nosedive of quality and objectivity in many leading scientific publications is a silent crisis. Then again, Nature was always overrated…published a ton of pop-sci over brain activity imaging years ago IIRC.

    1. A long, long time ago I did an advanced IQ test published in SA. There was no time limit, one just solved the problems and mailed it in. They charged about $10 to receive the results.

      They stole my money.

      1. The Left specializes in scams and skimming operations.

        Like unions running health care plans.

        ( Or, for that matter, unions. )

  16. One of the authors calls themselves “ they “.

    I wonder why these two are so dead set for discrimination against Asian-heritage applicants, which is what this case is focused on?

    Inside every leftist is a racist, screaming to get out.

  17. Logic dictates that we use the ‘best man for the job or for admission to STEM education’ …. if we allow lessors to replace the truly smart and productive, we dig out own graves.

    There are many rewarding careers that do not require a high IQ or a specific skin color.
