Came here to make a similar comment. Scientists are not supposed to be activists - focusing on eliminating words that carry stigma from popular (or scientific) use makes me question not just objectivity but qualifications as a scientist.
Is there any space that ideologues haven't infested yet?
- RaptorJ 6y agoNo, I'm very sorry report that there are exactly zero areas of human action, practice, or thought that aren't infested with ideology.
- mtgp1000 6y agoThere's a difference between ideology and an ideologue. One may believe in something while at least attempting to compartmentalize it's influence over ones work. I feel like that sort of self-restriction is increasingly absent in much of the professional and academic world. Yeah, sure, everything is political, but that doesn't mean you are obligated to inject your politics into everything.
