Relativitism Corrupted Humanities and Social Sciences

This blog focuses on the hard sciences and objective reality, mainly Physics. I expect physicists to be hard-headed scientists, and I am disappointed when they are not.

Outside the hard sciences, the academic world is a wasteland. They are concerned with relativitism, not relativity.

A bunch of experts were asked to write a report on the decline of humanities and social sciences. Objectivity has been abandoned. Political considerations have overwhelmed serious work.

Here is a summary by a biology professor. One example:

In 2023, the AAA canceled an accepted panel at its annual conference, titled “Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Why Biological Sex Remains a Necessary Analytic Category in Anthropology.” The AAA said at the time that the panel would have harmed members’ “safety and dignity,” and that its premise contradicted “settled science.” The Vanderbilt report cited this incident to argue that when politically charged questions “are treated as settled by the scholarly community, the result is an illegitimate suppression of dissent.”
