There are many examples of the politicization of science and it is destroying science. Without science, society cannot move forward.
There are relentless attacks on it. Take COVID as one example. Politicians used the illness for political gain. They encouraged riots against Donald Trump but banned protests against the left. Americans were told they couldn’t see loved ones, get elective surgeries, or go to church, but they could go to facilities with alcohol, pot, and porn.
Blue states arbitrarily shut down their states, destroying small businesses, the backbone of capitalism. They opened the borders and allowed criminals to run rampant.
Scientists backed them up. Scientists and the CDC abandoned America and science for far-left politics.
Take a top neurological journal’s view of Voodoo as an example of the trend:
The paper was accurate, but accuracy and facts are not that important under this new leadership.
The premier ‘Nature Magazine’ doesn’t look for the best, they look for black candidates.
Heather McDonald discusses the nominee for the Office of Science in the Department of Energy in the clip below as a case in point. The nominee is a black woman with no knowledge of Physics or any background running a large, bureaucratic highly important agency. She’s a soil geologist who is known for diversity and transforming workplace climate.
“Diversity is code for race and sex preferences,” McDonald says. China is opting for meritocracy and we’re opting for diversity, she says. Diversity and meritocracy can’t co-exist and this is suicide, she says.
We don’t recruit top talent, instead, we’re socially engineering by sex and race, two unimportant qualities that have nothing to do with science.
We’re infesting our science establishment with the disease of diversity and totalitarianism.

Said it many times…but worth repeating…Systemic ignorance is rapidly being replaced by systemic stupidity…and there is no end in sight…welcome to the new world of Moronovia…
Ironic that the left accuses the right of being anti-science…
Diversity based science and technology.
Actually, George Washington Carver was considered one of the foremost scientists of his time, along with Edison.
George Washington Carver achieved outstanding merit through hard work, and science based observation and experimentation.
There’s potential for diversity with meritocracy, which is based on hard work and achievement, not just looking at diversity.
America has had a problem for some time now with its educational system, and has been recruiting foreign Science and Technology graduates to run its educational system in the Science and Technology areas, often with scientists and technology teachers and corporate employees from South Asia (India and Pakistan) and Asia (China, Korea and Japan) rather than home grown personnel, while colleges and universities have employed primarily Americans in the arts and humanities.
Hopefully, diversity means greater achievement in the science and technology areas for everyone. This will call for remedial education, not just in disadvantaged areas but also in adult education throughout the country.
There will likely be a wake up call, such as happened when the Soviet Union put Sputnik into orbit while America was experiencing humiliation with repeated space disasters of rockets blowing up on the launching pad.
There are a number of countries now which are putting enormous amounts of resources into Science and Technology development, and have already surpassed American efforts in a number of areas.
Going to the doctor now if you pick up minority doctor maybe he got there by equity and not meritocracy. That’s happening now! I personally will not be going to any ethnic doctors anymore because they simply aren’t going to be as well educated. the white ones have to score higher have better grades and be tops in their grades and fields. Left wants this.
Do you want your heart surgeon to be there by equity or meritocracy?
Melinocracy on the way to the hybrid Zimbabwe/Venezuela/Cuba/North Korea utopia.
Forward! Yes we can!
China is opting to pwn the West without firing a shot thanks to the finest fellow traveler traitors from the faculty lounge.
