These "arguments" are for weak minds. Must be a lot out there. Bees and ants are Communists, therefore people should be Communists too. It's only natural.
When will they take it to their logical conclusions? I truly hope this series brings light to the marginalized mantis-self who decapitates and consumes their lovers post coitus. It’s perfectly natural behavior, so it must be normal.
From what I remember the mantis is decapitated during coitus- it's male spiders who have to make a quick run before the female feasts.
We discussed this in my class, and I believe one of the hypotheses (which I don't think was ever substantiated) was that beheading the male may lead to more twitching and "action" from the body and may result in more sperm. It's strange regardless!
"And before anyone gets into thinking that there has to be clear science since it’s including actual biologists/scientists..."
Unfortunately, there are many, many credentialed biologists who push this garbage such that they would've had no trouble finding replacements for the non-scientists. The overwhelming majority of my evo-bio and ethology colleagues love this stuff. The most scrupulous of them publicly support that "research" but don't engage in it themselves, which has led to a very noticeable rise in such "research" even over the past five years.
When I started school, I would've attributed the acceptance of such garbage "research" to ideological override. Now that I've seen how far educational standards have fallen, I think a lot of junior students actually view that "scholarship" as legitimate.
The façade relies on performative science that just entertains the masses. Most people don't look at research scrupulously, and hence why I like to highlight how the media reports on science so badly- they are the disseminators of science information and if they completely botch what they are covering then that means many people will be misinformed. Ironic given how much these people engage in "fact-checking".
I suspect that many researchers go into these ludicrous fields for two reasons:
1. They were sold a bad perception of what research is. Research is not fancy looking at test tubes and beakers for color changes and doing all this "sciency" stuff. It's generally boring and redundant so unless you're really interested in the research topic many people may just have the wool removed from their eyes and disillusioned to their idealized vision of scientific research.
2. This is novel territory that also serves to subvert otherwise standard concepts in science. It's an easy area to get into with not much work and so you can just BS your way into getting anything published, and again an unscrupulous populous isn't going to understand why such research is BS because they don't know how to assess research. They can only go for heuristics as a means to assess the veracity of a study.
And to be fair for my undergraduate we did a lot of scrutinizing of studies, and even then I didn't feel very equipped! It's only through writing this Substack that I have grown more aware of what to look out for when questioning methodology or findings. Most students now hardly do lab work, hardly read papers, and are just being spoonfed answers with no critical thinking or curiosity being engaged.
It is so sad that science has been contaminated by this insane Marxist ideology. Parents need to innoculate their kids against this brainwashing. My kids were at university over 20 years ago in the UK and were told to read Michel Foucault. Fortunately they were both unable to do so - my eldest daughter told me her brain would not allow her to read the words or a weirdo who wandered about in the desert thinking he was a fish. I don't know if he did do that but I was very pleased she was able to discern. Now the idelology has seeped into all schools. My granddaughter (13) is now being homeschooled as 'the brainwashing', as she called it, was affecting her mental health. She said it was exhausting pretending to believe when it was obviously nonsense.
I'm sorry that's going on with your granddaughter. I recall seeing some issues even when I was tutoring students where you see some of this mindset setting in, and this was several years ago. It seems as if no field is safe now from being injected with ideology.
Thank you. It is the same playbook as Mao Zedong used with his Red Guards as far as I can see. I just wish more parents and grandparents would wake up to what is taking place. My friend's granddaughter now in her 20s went to university a 'normal' person and came back a radicalised social justice warrior who demanded her parents acknowledge their white privilege and take steps to atone for their inherent racism. She refused to be in the same room with them until they complied. They refused. Ultimately it left to her tearing the family apart and leaving home and yet, after all that, and despite me telling my friend about postmodernism, Marxism and critical race theory etc my friend deemed it to be nothing more than a 'bit of a fad which she will grow out of'

Brilliant.

Until communists can do a little jiggy to tell me where the pollen and nectar is I won't be joining!

it is related to judaism ... there are no coencidences.
Wow!!! I see another alert coming from GoVt … … … ❤️ 🦩
