(EDIT: Had to look up Lysenkoism. Thanks for the new pejorative. I've added it to my filter bubble. Okay, so upon hearing about a major chapter in the history of science, where ideology crippled science in a major world power for many years, the best you can do is to say, "I'll add it to my filter bubble!?" I'm sorry, but that's politicized anti-intellectualism of the highest degree! Shouldn't we be trying to learn from history, not denying it?) Lysenko primarily held his theory because it fit Marxist ideology. The Blank Slate is the new Lysenkoism. Any principle of charity one could have had towards Damore was soundly negated by his actions afterwards. Which actions are those? In a situation like that, why wouldn't one sue? In a situation like that, why wouldn't one appear on news outlets that would actually let you speak, and not try to turn your interview into a hit piece?
