| From the last slide, "Conclusions": > Physics is not sexist against women. However truth does not matter, because it’s part of a political battle coming from outside. Not clear who will win. So why poke that bear? You know it'll maul you if it notices you. > PS: many told me “don’t speak, it’s dangerous”. As a student, I wrote that weak-scale SUSY is not right, and I survived. Hope to see you again. Oh yeah, but being perceived as a crank in your specialized field is nowhere near as dangerous as alerting the pitchfork crowd. I don't think he'll survive that, he just painted a target on his whole field. It'll be Damore 2.0. EDIT: > When science and politics collide, politics always win. Science needs an environment free of politics. Yes; to quote dlss[0], "The political process converts ideas from logical propositions into group signaling devices. Once a idea becomes a signal, any question of its truth or falsehood is commonly ignored for several human generations.". Science should avoid it as much as possible. -- [0] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12699503 |
