I don't possess a scientific or engineering mind but I do possess a strong ability to critically read and assess (sometimes) complex issues and convey them in simple terms.
The case of Alessandro Sturmia is a frightening one and not without chilling similarity to James Damore.
Both were condemned by a witch crew possessed by their own self-righteous gibberish. I get the sense there are academics who have succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to feminist social justice in academia.
It all points and proves the point even very smart people can believe stupid things.
What more, they will also employ logical fallacies to defend their positions.
One doctor friend argued to me regarding free speech: You free speech ends at my offence.
I was stunned that a brilliant and well-read mind could be so superficial and flippant on matters of free speech and expression.
We take free speech so much for granted we treat it with lazy contempt.
Whenever a baseball player - pitcher or hitter - is struggling we usually hear them say, 'We need to get back to the fundamentals. Keep it simple.'
It sounds like we need to get back to the fundamentals with free speech.
We're not taking it serious enough and as we see in the case of the despicable and odious Bill C-16 (how this got passed is a black mark on the Canadian political conscience), we've already crossed the Rubicon where government is now in the business of regulating speech.
Worse, they took the most basic and irrefutable of biological scientific discovery - that there are two genders - and turned into a weapon for identity politics. Ironically, the party that screams 'settled science' and pimps out (often dubious) scientific facts about climate change has decided to ignore the science of biology where matters of gender is concerned.
This folks is how civilizations whither and Trudeau and Liberals have contributed their part.
Bill C-16 must be repealed. But it won't. Unfortunately, many good and free thinking people will call prey and victim to its evil tentacles.
We've criminalized speech (a cherished value we've fought for centuries to achieve) for less than 1% of the population in a cynical plot to gain votes.
It's grotesque on so many levels. Alas, this is not the point of this post.
The battle for truth is playing itself out in academia but it may soon spill over into the society at large. Indeed, we already see its corrosive effect in CEO's like Tim Cook of Apple and as well as at tech giants like Google.
Why is tech and science so vulnerable to such a thoroughly totalitarian movement?
CERN was the latest to throw itself into the realm of social justice madness.
I learned in the following video of a group called 'Particles for Justice.' At some point, I felt I was just reading some nonsense from The Guardian or Salon and some resident 'science' writer babbling on about gaps or some other oppressed injustice.
Reading through it I couldn't believe the utter lack of self-awareness and breaking of logical rules present. Of course, what's a good crack down without the reliable ad hominen attack? And boy do they do a job on Strumia. In fact, so silly and immature it was, it felt like projection to me.
The thing that really pissed me off, and this is always the case whenever professors or academics sign these stupid things, is they didn't even bother to mount a proper rebuttal. I think their calcified stagnant mind set is well exposed by their own words:
Not. Up. For. Debate. As in 'settled science'?
Now that's appalling.
That and their faux-righteous outrage.
Progressives, I'm sure you've heard or observed, destroy things in its path.
Don't let this degenerate strain of progressivism into the STEM blood stream.
If you think quackery reigns in the areas infected (e.g. sports, politics, humanities and economics) by progressivism is bad, wait until virus spreads further into science and technology.
In short, and to the point if I may, Stumia (like Damore) is right:
It's all fucken lies and bull shit.
Whatever he does, he mustn't apologize. That's blood to them. See Roseanne and several other examples. Look at what they did to Norm MacDonald (who I hope one day gets his revenge). They see this, like communists, as weakness and they will exploit it. They will destroy a life and lift the carcass up like a trophy to claim a hollow victory.
As the blood drips from their lips.

"As particle physicists, we are appalled by Strumia’s actions and his stated views on women in high energy physics.
We write here first to state, in the strongest possible terms, that the humanity of any person, regardless of ascribed identities such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, disability, gender presentation, or sexual identity is not up for debate."
Not. Up. For. Debate. As in 'settled science'?
