A committee of the US Senate scanned all the grants doled out by the National Science Foundation over about three years, and discovered (with my emphasis) “3,483 grants, more than ten percent of all NSF grants and totaling over $2.05 billion in federal dollars, went to questionable projects that promoted diversity, [inclusion, and equity (DIE)] tenets or pushed onto science neo-Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle.” (Thanks to
"The mathematician Igor Shafarevich, a member of the Soviet Academy of Science, has written a brilliantly argued book entitled Socialism; this is a penetrating historical analysis demonstrating that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death."
From Alexander Solzhenitsyn's commencement address at Harvard University, June 8, 1978.
Substitute DEI for "socialism" and the statement reads equally as well.
And Solzhenitsyn's speech, given at the Harvard Comerncement ceremony, received a pretty hostile reception, especially from the numerous female faculty, many of whom supported Pol Pot....
If Trump/Musk can't take a machete to this bloated bureaucratic nightmare we might all just have to start identifying as women of color, or any number of preferred DIE persons. I might start identifying as an indigenous lesbian with a penis animal researcher and start applying for grants to study the mating habits of homosexual wolverines. It will require much time spent in the woods of northwest Montana, but if I can secure that grant, I will not rest until I find and observe every gay wolverine, or until the funding runs out.
You can easily identify gay wolverines because they will smell better than the cisgendered <groan!> ones. This may be a long project—better clear your calendar.
I am in medicine, and there is little doubt that the field will be upwards of 70-75% female within 20 years. Women comprise 80% of residents in all specialties with the exception of general surgery (and sub specialties) in our system.
Eureka!!! You just discovered why so many white men are transgendering to become women! And why so many Indians will soon be black as Carmella. You can get at least 70% of people to do anything for $1000 and that includes cutting off their dicks or disowning their parents. It won’t stop till the system goes broke, everyone suffers, and merit and skill once again becomes needed to survive. Btw. This world is temporal; Heaven, attained only through love and service to Jesus Christ, is eternal. Hedge accordingly.
Estrogen is not well-suited to the rigorous demands of true and sound Science. 'Woman's intuition,' maternal instincts and emotionalism are buzz killers to Physics.
"[The socialists declare] that the State owes subsistence, well-being, and education to all its citizens; that it should be generous, charitable, involved in everything, devoted to everybody; ... that it should intervene directly to relieve all suffering, satisfy and anticipate all wants, furnish capital to all enterprises, enlightenment to all minds, balm for all wounds, asylums for all the unfortunate, and even aid to the point of shedding French blood, for all oppressed people on the face of the earth."
Why is women’s absence in Engineering and Computer Science “for obvious reasons”?!?!? REEEEEEEEEE! My cats and I will cast a curse on you over a box of wine and Halloween-themed soy-snacks!
Funny…
At a college honors ceremony in which one of my children was an honoree, the honorees were seated by department. They didn’t announce which college was which until after the students from each college had lined up to walk across the stage.
At one point, every person who got in line to walk across the stage was a male except for one. I whispered to my hubs, “That must be the School of Engineering.” And sure enough, it was.
When it comes to probability and statistics, your substack may become eventually become a major reference. Worse, you may have to do it FOR FREE! No good deed goes unpunished.
Donald says a lot of stuff that when he is in office, he never seems to remember. Or maybe he is just lying. Kamala says whatever she is told to say, in whichever manner she is told to say it in. Trump is not much better, but more attuned to the con.
DIE has almost run its course, except for the very die hards. Even my 20yo daughter is asking me about her friends who constantly harp on victimhood tranny stuff. She's getting fed up, just like her old man.

One of the most important speeches in modern history. By comparison, Edmund Burke’s “On Conciliation With America” comes to mind—March 22, 1775.

I don’t think Trump is going to do much so get ready for those fabulous gay wolverines!

That, along with the prevailing theory that all races have the same biology, will make for hazardous times for patients...
To paraphrase an old adage: 'Patient heal thyself.'

Men putting on skirts is also a way for those underperforming men to not get fired at tech firms. They become a lawsuit waiting to happen.
No wonder the Left hates Elon Musk

I don’t disagree but… You must like to live dangerously!
It's a testosterone thing!😆

To clarify to our overlords: a PHENOTYPIC male

Science will do fine over time.
SCIENCE! can DIE yesterday, and that's what 2021 through 2024 funding is doing.
Faster, please!
We need more heroes, maybe in movies, like A Fistful of Wee ps.
Pose SBA and NIH with the sun and blowing dust in their StrongHer eyes.
And BTW, how many Andmiral Hopper award honorees have handed out nanoseconds?

In an intersectionalist world, women's sports might be the only place white men can successfully compete.
The best science money can buy. :eyeroll:
