OMG, does such stupidity exist ?

Western science started more than 600 years ago

Any science started more than 600 years ago

moving in the right direction or are we in freefall?

I doubt / hope they won't support this

You are only looking at one side of science. What about the wizards...I mean chemists?

You joke but Newton himself was an alchemist.

Contemporary Western science pretty much really kicked off around the same time.

See the Age of Enlightenment

I hate Nerds

 

[Sneeky]

Just remember: these people are winning.

Not so funny then is it?

No they are not winning, they think they are winning but in effect they are just digging their own graves and that of their children.

Even less funny

Sounds like a mixture of Neo-Luddism/Anarchy and Antiscience.

In other words, we are headed back to the bush gentlemen.

I think even SammyD will not go this far.

You go girl! Woohoo!

Go reinvent the wheel! You have... what 60 years max left. Plenty of time. You might even make it to the moon using muti if you are really dedicated. You certainly seem to think its possible.

But don't try to stuff that point of view down everybody else's throat hypocrite.

Go do the groundwork and have it peer-reviewed if you feel that should be part of your new scientific establishment. Go... Do the work if you want to see change. Or do you want the white students to use their privilege to do it for you?

What a prime example of the world we're currently living in - butthurt feelings trumps cold, hard facts. And in this case when I say butthurt, I mean butt-fscking-hurt.

Nah, it's ok. When its all turned to custard and decolonisation is complete they can come to the UK where they get free money, free house etc.

 

[Ockie]

I cannot believe we actually have students like that in our universities! How on earth did they get in?

I think it is time for completely independent and private universities to be invested in and built. No government interference or quotas to be adhered to. If you have the marks you may enter. If you cause sh*t, then you get booted out. FINISHED!

About the only science she understands.
