                The white supremacy of Physics, at Quillette. Linking these sorts of absurdities is becoming tedious, but I will include a quote from the article from some academics, which I feel indicates some mental disorder insofar as it sounds like an argument against testing hypotheses. I know it's really political rather than insane, but whatever:  I took two White Physics classes in college. A few Chem classes too. There were people of all colors, ethnicities, genders, etc. in them. Tough classes, for me. Besides learning a heck of a lot about the natural world, I learned that I did not have a scientist in me. Fascination, yes. Potential, no.
  Abstract: Black thought can help us free science from the white supremacist traditions of scientists. Scientists vs. Science will use Black feminist and anti-colonialist analyses to show that white supremacy is a total epistemic system that affects even our most “objective” areas of knowledge production. The talk hinges on the development of the concept of white empiricism, which I introduced to give a name to the way that anti-intellectual white supremacy plays a role in physicists’ analysis of when empirical data is important and what counts as empirical data. This white empiricism shapes both Black women’s (and other) experiences in physics and the actual knowledge produced about physics. Until this is understood and addressed directly, systems of domination will continue to play a major role in the practice of physics.

                I've been thinking a little about China. Of course, all governments lie but to imagine that China cares about you, much less its own masses, would be crazy. At least when the US federal government lies (very often) there are people outside the MSM to notice, and humble websites like ours to report it. Fmr. NY Times Science Editor: Mainstream Media Chose Propaganda Over Research on COVID Origins. Of course they lie.  Our reader Ben David has a good reality check on the Middle East:  
 Let me save Maggie readers some precious time: 
 You can safely skip all articles by pundits analyzing Palestinian "strategy". They invariably ascribe to Palis values, motives and perceived best interests that are obvious to Westerners but totally foreign to Muslim/Arab culture. 
 Everything can be more accurately explained by seeing Muslim culture clearly and unflinchingly. 
 -The unconcern for home-team suffering 
 - The lack of anything resembling responsible leadership or stewardship 
 - The virulent tribal hatred 
 - The cynical money trail 
 - none of it is unique to the Arab-Israeli conflict. 
 And most Western pundits can't get past their own upbringing. Their naive assumption that "they want what we want" hamstrings these articles, and blinds them to the obvious conclusion that Muslims do not value and want what Westerners do. They are not "rational actors" as we Westerners conceive it. 
 This is true of almost all Western pontification aboit the Muslim world.
