Scientific Fraud

Please report broken hyperlinks using the Reply option at the bottom of each page.

[I]n his 1961 farewell address, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned that the pursuit of government grants would have a corrupting influence on the scientific community.  He feared that while American universities were ‘historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery,’ the pursuit of taxpayer monies would become ‘a substitute for intellectual curiosity‘ and lead to ‘domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment…and the power of money.’  Eisenhower’s fears were well-founded and prescient.  My experiences at four research universities and as a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research fellow taught me that the relentless pursuit of taxpayer funding has eliminated curiosity, basic competence, and scientific integrity in many fields.

Scientists in general are opinionated people, as are many others, especially those with Ph.D.s in any field.  But having opinions is not the same thing as doing good science.  The phrases ‘scientists believe…‘ and ‘scientific studies have demonstrated…‘ are two very different things.  Opinions are different from conclusions derived from actual scientific studies… [T]his is a problem with what passes for modern science in the [mainstream left wing] press.  It is dogma wrapped in a scientific veneer.  The underlying dogma comes from political or philosophical views of the universe, which may or may not be correct.  Whether or not such positions are true is often irrelevant to those who hold them dearly…  [Left wing] American culture advocates many nonsensical ideas that it thinks are rooted in science: the notion that a human being is not a person  until he is born ; the idea that human beings have  not just two sexes , but over 50 genders; the existence of [extraterrestrialaliens , x-men, zombies, and ‘ gay genes ‘; the idea that  the world will end soon  and that salvation can only be found in  governmental regulations .  Such notions are not rooted in science — they are profound [ideological] silliness!

Political “Science”:

U.S. scientists are overwhelmingly politically liberal.  Only 6% of U.S. scientists self-identify as Republicans while 81% of U.S. scientists self-identify as Democrats or lean left.  Only 12% of U.S. scientists either self-identify as Republicans or lean toward the right.

“[Liberals] have not discovered better reasoning methods; rather, [they] seem to have decided that reasoning is not relevant to [their] life…  For example, some [liberal pollsters — who claim to be conducting ‘scientific’ polls] changed their predictions [for the Trump/Clinton election only] at the last minute because they simply could not believe the results of their own research [for months]…  For [another] example, with respect to sexuality, does biology prevail [to liberals]?  Or is culture or personal preference the main factor?…  [Homosexual] activists [all of whom are also politically liberal] have claimed that [unsubstantiated] evidence‘ from genetics justifies their demand for a ban on therapy to change unwanted homosexual attractions.  But leaving aside the [falsities] of their scientific claims [ASND recommends  this page  for further — truly scientific research falsifying those claims], one must ask, Why is the client — in only this one type of case — not entitled to seek therapy for his own purposes?  Would the same [liberal] activists also ban therapy to increase such attractions?  What about the bisexual man who would genuinely prefer to just be [homosexual]?  Or straight?  The conveniently loose relationship [liberal] activists have with science means that they won’t often be confronted with evidence that requires them to adopt a coherent position…  Transgender lobbyists, taking the opposite [philosophical] tack [which places them in direct philosophical opposition to their own allies immersed in their self-described alphabet (LGBT) soup], claim that a person can belong to the other ‘gender’ irrespective of obvious, genetically driven sexual characteristics, due to a concept of gender that could exist only in that individual’s mind.  The lobby’s stance seems all the odder when we consider that most neuroscientists hold that the mind does not even exist apart from the biological, sex-specific brain.  But the majority view in neuroscience is seldom raised as an objection to transgender claims [because that would expose their anti-scientific bias; and yes, most neuroscientists learned to be atheists from the academy, which is owned and operated by atheists]…  [Because of these glaring philosophical contradictions] high science is becoming postmodern.  Many associate this shift with Berkeley philosopher of science Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994), who sometimes said that what is termed ‘science’ in one culture is called ‘voodoo’ in another, and that, in science, explicitly, ‘anything goes’…  Marcel Kuntz, of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France, asks, ‘If all truths are equal, who cares what science has to say?‘…  A variety of [other] thinkers who would otherwise disagree on many things are also starting to use the term ‘postmodern’ to describe the new trend in science…  [For example, b]oth Stephen Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson have made clear that philosophy [which predictably and necessarily falsified postmodernism] is either ‘deador ‘a useless enterprise,’ something one certainly did not hear from past icons like Albert Einstein.

[The following article was authored and published by self-identified liberals.]

According to a comprehensive new report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, ‘Groups comparable to …immigrants in terms of their skill may experience a wage reduction as a result of immigration-induced increases in labor supply.‘ But [leftist] academics [almost universally and intentionally ignore] this wage reduction because, like liberal journalists and politicians, they face pressures to support [unregulated] immigration…  Many of the immigration scholars regularly cited in the [mainstream liberal] press have worked for, or received funding from, pro-immigration businesses and associations…  In his book Exodus, Paul Collier, a [self-avowed liberal] economist at the University of Oxford, claims that in their ‘desperate [desire] not to give succor’ to nativist bigots, ‘social scientists have strained every muscle to show that migration is good for everyone.’  George Borjas of Harvard argues that since he began studying immigration in the 1980s, his fellow economists have grown far less tolerant of research that emphasizes its costs.  There is, he [said], ‘a lot of self-censorship among young social scientists.’

How the Winds of “Social Justice” are Informing New Scientist Credentials
“[The state-wide University of California’s science faculty hiring] rubric assesses not only the candidates’ knowledge and understanding of [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] issues, but also their past Track Record in Advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and their current Plans for Advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  One wonders how many geologists, chemists, physicists, and mathematicians have had the time to add these cherished credentials to their job portfolio, along with meeting a challenging course load, satisfying the demands of a dissertation, and submitting continued publications?  It seems that the UC system is interested in hiring social justice warriors, rather than true scientists.

https://salvomag.com/post/science-goes-ldquowokerdquo8212part-i

[Just FYI, California has the largest university system and the largest number of university faculty of any state in U.S..  But California is hardly the only state where this version and expression of scientific fraud is being practiced and institutionally and governmentally condoned…]

In efforts to enhance diversity, many universities have established new guidelines for hiring faculty, that no doubt are informed by the radicals forcefully promulgating everything ‘woke.’  Unfortunately, these guidelines undermine diversity where it is most valuable in the world of free thought and academia…

Sociology:

A Religion of Activism Masquerading as Science
