>>198512This is what happens when science no longer is science and becomes politics instead. Hopefully the world will value reason and true science again one day. But until the leftists are removed from power they will keep on pushing their political agenda at all cost.
>>198512Threadly reminder, the jews did this.
>>198512This isn't the first time that political intrusion into the sciences makes it cannibalize it's top contributors, and it won't be the last. The only question is how long the cannibalism can be sustained for before it implodes.
Everyone who "loves science" needs to be socially shamed into understanding that this is a bad thing for science and the world.
>>198519What's sad is that the lefties that "love science" don't actually understand the scientific method. They just like to feel smart by agreeing with what "scientists say."
Which scientist? What study? They don't know. They just saw "scientists say" in the headline on the huffington compost and didn't even read the article. They ignore studies with contradictory results because they don't practice science and in truth practice popular "consensus."
As you and I both know, in real science the consensus of the greatest minds in the world can be refuted by the lowliest of uneducated idiots who happens to stumble upon even a single piece of evidence that contradicts their hypothesis.
>>198512I've seen this mentioned in my news feeds and there were a couple of threads on /pol/ yesterday. I haven't had time to look into it yet, but what I'm curious about is: was there any actual attempt to refute his research? Or is it just the usual "97% of """scientists""" agree with the PC mob so the PC mob must be right" BS?
>>198573Looking into this a little further, it looks like this nontroversy dates back to 2007 during an interview with The Times, where he states that he was
“inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because
“all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says, not really.”On the side, he also went on to say of workplace equality:
“people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.”At the time, he was kicked out of his position at his job, though he kept the office at the lab there. There was also the usual 'deeply regretful for my comments' prostration that followed, which of course didn't do a thing. His speaking invitations dried up, and he wound up selling his medal in 2014: the first Nobel winner still alive to do so. Take a guess as to why.
This second wave started purely because in a PBS documentary called "American Masters: Decoding Watson", he was asked if his outlook on race and intelligence had changed. His answer being, well...
“Not at all. I would like for them to have changed, that there be new knowledge that says that your nurture is much more important than nature. But I haven’t seen any knowledge. And there’s a difference on the average between blacks and whites on I.Q. tests. I would say the difference is, it’s genetic."Thus this next round of punitive measures by the intelligentsia.
So in answer to your question,
yes. This is the usual batch of tone-policing horseshit.
Friendly reminder that this guy's 90 years old now, yet they've got no compunctions about cannibalizing him in this manner. Take that however you will.

https://youtu.be/t1mgrTGeDPM >>198512>James Watson is once again being hounded and humiliated for telling the truth. He is recovering from an auto accident and cannot speak for himself, so Jared Taylor of American Renaissance speaks for him. He calls this ritual humiliation “beyond appalling” and recalls the Soviet purges of Old Bolsheviks. Taylor is so disgusted he quotes Mark Twain: “There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.”- The Disgraceful Shaming of James Watson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqzXkzLGu1A So they shame him, but can they prove him wrong?
>>198663No, but it doesn't matter. To the left, reality is whatever they will it to be, and anything that contradicts with what they will reality to be is dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" or "pseudoscience" or an -ism or -phobia.
>>198674>To the leftActually there are faces and names behind what we call "the left".
Perhaps it might be a good time to begin to name the commie.
