Feminism in Science: an Imposed Ideology and a Witch Hunt

Authors: Martín López Corredoira
Comments: 24 Pages. English+Spanish version. Published in Scripta Philosophiae Naturalis, 20, 3 (2021). Conference at 8th Symposium of the "Circle of Natural Philosophy", Facultes Libres de Philosophie et de Psychologie de Paris, 2021 June 2nd-4th

Metaphysical considerations aside, today’s inheritors of the tradition of natural philosophy are primarily scientists. However, they are oblivious to the human factor involved in science and in seeing how political, religious, and other ideologies contaminate our visions of nature. In general, philosophers observe human (historical, sociological, and psychological) processes within the construction of theories, as well as in the development of scientific activity itself. In our time, feminism—along with accompanying ideas of identity politics under the slogan “diversity, inclusion, equity”—has emerged in science policies. The vast majority of scientists (including myself) are convinced that discrimination is reprehensible. We also believe that all individuals of any sex, race, ethnic group, or ideology should be valued in academia solely based on his or her merits and potential through equality programs. However, as I will show in this article, political indoctrination has inadmissibly undertaken the struggle for equality in academic institutions in Western countries. I argue here that universities and research institutes should be politically free (neutral) to encourage academic freedom. One negative aspect of equality programs is that worldwide, scientists are harassed for expressing opinions related to the “gender” issue. This situation severely restricts scientists’ freedom of expression, even within the limits of the law. Codes of conduct extending beyond legal boundaries are examples of this issue. Scientists who express their views about “gender” are often harassed, bullied, and socially or academically excluded. Thus, we are witnessing a wave of proselytizing in research institutes and science-associated media. Today, there is widespread biased propaganda of “victimhood”. This propaganda proposes positive discrimination and increasing women’s participation in unnatural ways. It also bends the history of science by overvaluing the creations of forgotten women, offering lectures on indoctrination, organizing congresses on gender and science, and persecuting anyone who sees the subject differently. All of this covered by a multitude of associations that financially benefit from these discourses through succulent subsidies of public money. Apparently, feminism is no longer about fighting against discrimination. Instead, it is about imposing an ideology and giving more power to one group of people. Thus, we must ask whether the end justifies the means.

Space Billionaire Fantasies

Authors: Clark M. Thomas
Comments: 5 Pages.

There’s something otherworldly about individuals owning and commanding many billions of dollars. Things get interesting when mega-billionaires start believing they know more than they know. It’s not enough to control some of Earth’s basic industries. Hubristic titans desire the global glory of rescuing our arrogant species.

Index Type Hand Symbol

Authors: Manaka Shunyuu
Comments: 12 Pages.

We apply the principle of index type keyboard to hand sign. Because the learning is very easy, not only a person without hearing but also a person with that can make full use of it.

Unforeseen Extinction

Authors: Clark M. Thomas
Comments: 13 Pages.

Human information systems are sufficiently powerful for us to comprehend what is happening within our climate. Still, we all do nothing beyond weak gestures, while the downhill slope to global disaster becomes steeper. Why? Several decades ago most intelligent people didn’t fully understand the unforeseen danger. More recently, many people are reluctant to admit to what they now know. It is easy to blame willful ignorance. People do little or nothing, because serious remediation locally seems too expensive and ineffective for meaningful global amelioration. We thus embrace climate delusions, not critical climate wisdom.

Fizikçilerin Dil Beceriksizliği (The Imperfect Language of Physicists)

Authors: Özgen Ersan
Comments: 9 Pages. [Corrections are made by viXra Admin to comply with the rules of viXra.org]

Scientific analysis and experiment steps, results and interpretations are formed in the brain accompanied by imagination, word and concept coding. Proper reporting of results is also important. Especially in theoretical physics, skill and carefulness of language is becoming a more obvious need in new subjects at the border of existing knowledge. There are those from other fields who are ready to misunderstand and spark these discourses/conclusions; they product books from a few bytes of information such as “yes/no/maybe”; occult misinformations emerges, examples of which are mostly from the fields of special relativity theory and quantum physics. Science must not use the phrases which are supported the paleolithic mind.

Medllecta. Hematological Preventive Method (HPM)

Authors: Egger Mielberg
Comments: 17 Pages.

Qualitatively new mechanisms for the analysis of blood cells and blood plasma proteins may open up the possibility of constructing a hematological data model (HDM) for early detection of a pathological process during the latent period of the disease. As such mechanisms, we use the algorithms of Sense Theory, a new mathematics for artificial intelligence. In this article, we use the results of a clinical blood test as a practical example.
