- mrtranscendence 5y agoI'm sure Lawrence "Groper" Krauss has a bug up his ass about DEI, but I don't see how that should mean a whole heck of a lot to me.
- 908B64B197 5y ago> Lawrence "Groper" Krauss It's interesting how as soon as he spoke out against Affirmative Action and DEI he was immediately accused of some transgression. All that without proof, of course, or an actual trial (hint: it wouldn't pass the stricter bar of a court of law) but rather judged by an opaque "tribunal" of ethicists. Note that he had tenure, so making up these accusations was probably the only way to get rid of the squeaky wheel... Reminds me of RMS getting cancelled by... an anonymous blog post!
