More Hypocrisy!
@mbeisen also attacked the NumPy computer science Paper for having 26 male authors no women...

but he had no problem participating in a paper with 14 male authors and 0 women, getting credit, and putting it on his website:
@mbeisen don't virtue signal and say things you do not mean.

If you really think your career has been a failure, and that science is a flawed system...then resign. Quit wringing your hands and dithering....resign.

Don't bluff. Follow through.
The hypocrisy never ends

When I pull up one of his old papers @mbeisen wants to be let off with an admission of guilt, but when it came to the NumPy paper he says we shouldn't absolve people of their failings.

Ok, why should we absolve @mbeisen and let him keep running a LAB?
Ok....fix the problem at the level of YOUR LAB @mbeisen by resigning and giving your job to a woman. Do THAT. let's see if you are willing to follow through with your false moral posturing.
Another point of absolute dishonesty....
The NumPy paper had 26 male authors and no female authors, the paper @mbeisen participated in had 14 male authors and no female authors....but his field has WAY more women then computer science.

 LifePoint Health is an $8 Billion healthcare institution, and they, like many other large healthcare institutions, have fully embraced DEI and wokeness.

Let's take a look/🧵 Image
2/
 LifePoint is explicitly committed to DEI, and in service to this goals they have created an number of Employee Resource Groups based on various racial and sexual identities. Image
Image
3/
 The result is that we have a group for each of the common political race and sexual identities: LGBT, Black, Women, Asian, Hispanic, etc.

Also we see the use of the woke term "latinx" to refer to hispanic people. Image

The question the right needs to answer is this: "The left captured all of our cultural institutions so they could use their credibility, prestige, and ability to confer legitimacy, to advancing the left's social and political agenda. Now, what are we going to do about it?"
This is a much harder nut to crack than people think, because the credibility, prestige, and legitimizing functions of our social institutions depends on those institutions being oriented by truth rather than a pre-determined political agenda, and the truth seeking capability...
of these institutions is compromised by their being oriented by politics first and truth second. This is what the Gramscian project does. However, we can't just ignore Gramsci; he was able to put his finger on something: social legitimacy in conferred by cultural institutions...

 NPR and PBS are publicly funded media outlets that have been taken over by radical leftists and turned into Progressive advocacy organizations

These outlets use taxpayer dollars to hire woke activists to do progressive advocacy

Here's why we should defund @NPR and @PBS

🧵 Image
Image
2/
 NPR doesn't seek to provide honest information to listeners.

NPR's role in the media ecosystem is to bury stories that harm progressive causes while amplifying stories that hurt conservative causes

That's why NPR buried the Hunter Biden Laptop Story:

3/
 It's not just the NPR buries and discredits stories it doesn't like.

NPR also advances the most absurd and trivial woke theories. For example, they ran an article debating if using a yellow thumbs up emoji is a sign of white privilege.

It took 3 people to write this article Image

The meta-level problem at the heart of the @DouglasKMurray/@ComicDaveSmith controversy is that legitimate expertise in the form of deep and genuine knowledge, and the credentialing process through which people get degrees and certificates have become completely divorced...
Universities have been taken over by political activists who use them as a vehicle for advancing radical leftist politics (typically of the neo-marxist variety). Now many professors value loyalty to their political causes more than they value knowledge and competence...
The result of this is that one can now advance through the ranks of the academic world and earn impressive credentials from prestigious universities by creating theories and papers which advance leftist politics, even if they do nothing to demonstrate competence in the field...

What @DouglasKMurray was saying is that Darryl Cooper, Ian Carrol, etc, are happy to wield a degree of influence in public historical discourse that is typically reserved for experts, but refuse to be held to the intellectual standards we hold experts to.
What @DouglasKMurray is trying to get people to understand is that if one wields a high degree of influence, then one must also take responsibility for that influence. This is accomplished by holding to the highest standards of scholarship and ensuring proper rigor and accuracy.
@DouglasKMurray You can't avoid responsibility for wielding the influence of an authority by disclaiming that authority as you continue to wield the influence.

If you're the authoritative source on a topic you're responsible for stewarding that authority whether you claim expertise or not.

Universities were conquered by leftist political activists who tactically deployed postmodern theories in the service of eroding our confidence in the standards of legitimacy and rules of evidence that stood in the way of the radical left implementing their ideological program...
These activist professors engaged in the cynical deployment of a caustic discourse in order to cast aspersions on any body of scholarship whose knowledge claims might serve to impugn the moral sensibility and political orthodoxy of the radical left...
Unable to falsify the claims of these bodies of Western knowledge (or to verify their own), activist scholars instead sought to use dishonest rhetorical tactics and social manipulation to erode our confidence in the very bodies of knowledge that produced Western prosperity...
