Science Must Fall? - UCT Fallist discusses Decolonization

If this girl's idiotic ramblings represent the thoughts of any significant portion of her generation then this country is doomed.
 
Pissed off at being mocked on Twitter all morning, "Fallists" have called a meeting to discuss #ScienceMustFall. They are pictured below...

I'm happy that people are starting to see how dangerous this "social justice" movement is.

Can someone help me because I'm really confused.

Should we be laughing or crying?

I laughed at first. Not so much after that.

Shocked to the core. Deeply concerned for the future after watching this.

Everything about it is just shocking. The victimisation of the opposing point of view, the arrogance, just everything about that is wrong.
 
Science must fall?! Scrap science?! WTF!
This is on the same level as Taliban when they destroyed Buddha of Bamiyan statue.
Just because you do not have interest in it or do not understand it does not mean it should be destroyed.
As a young woman one day you will have family and if your pregnancy goes wrong you will beg for "western" trained doctor in sterile "western" hospital to help you out.

While watching this video I had a moment that we call "Transfer blama" it can be described as moment when you feel ashamed for other persons action and they have no clue that they are making fool of themselves.

All very well and good trying to rid the university of Euro-centrism (before you all jump on me for this I'd wager most of you know a damn-sight more about Europe/great Europeans than you do about the Middle-East, Asia and South America).

But with science you'd ultimately converge on the same thing given enough time. I sure as hell am not going to toss out 600 years of scientific knowledge and start over from basic experiments and philosophy just to come to the same answers. The best thing to do with science is take it and run with it, contribute and eventually leave your own mark on scientific history.

This pretty much summarizes how I feel.

Shocked? Yeah I am. Concerned? Not so much. This is just a bunch of (I hate using this term) SJWs who are studying BA, who know nothing about science and who have no influence on the curriculum.

If these were BSc or Engineering students then I would be deeply concern because a 10th grade level of physics would be able to dispel all her arguments.
 
I can just imagine a conversation with this woman.

Me: "Excuse me ma'am, but..."

Her: "Did you just assume my gender???"
 
Why even bother with a degree at all? The very idea of getting a degree is a Eurocentric symbol of education. While you are scrapping science, just bin degrees all together. Why hold one education construct in such high regard whilst trashing all the others?

Why even bother with tests. Obviously they are a eurocentric mode of evaluation as well.

Because those pesky americans and europeans discovered/invented everything first, this isn't fair - Fallists probably
 
The danger of progressivism is that civilization is simply a set of ideas which can be replaced. Once those ideas are replaced, civilization ends.

SJWs and the other tentacles of progressivism are not the disease, they are the symptoms. The disease is the variations of animal nature which are useful for animal propagation and evolution but are antithetical to reason, compassion, empathy and responsibility.

You expect the rejecters of reason to be fair? They'll just keep the luxuries while rejecting the rest, it's who they are.

As you're now living in Europe please answer me this

Why's the European gravity always trying to keep a black man down? /s
 
Aren't most people of current University going age a product of Outcome Based Education? That was pretty much a throwing out of the "western way" and implementing a more "african way". If so, it explains why current students want to reject standard western learning practices.

Someone should point out to them that even the Department of Education admitted that Outcome Based Education was a failure.
