I’ve been trying to get access to academic tools and data to research my own genetic condition and I’ve been required to pledge allegiance to anti-racism more than once. Basically if I stumble on something that could be considered racist then I guess it’s a breach of terms. I don’t intend to publish so it doesn’t bother me but it does seem antithetical to finding fundamental truths.
- walkhour 4y agoYou can find any fundamental truth that doesn't oppose that every single psychological trait has exactly the same average and deviation across ... really any group. Which is an outstanding claim, and therefore your priors should be it's extremely unlikely.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI should add that I've taken to do my own research because I little faith in the actual scientists to do a good job, and the faith that I have left is diminishing. A lot of the science is needlessly incredibly slow and it appears that once someone has found something they can get funding for they drag it out forever as it's easier to get repeat funding than try for new funding. Then there is all the accidental (and not so accidental) p-hacking that is so prevalent that it appears that being good at math would be an impairment to an academic career.
