None of those biases require anything remotely like "activism" found in today's environments. All of those can be addressed with ease in existing objective frameworks.
- wolverine876 3y agoWhat reason do you have to say that? These biases have persisted for generations, even millenia in some cases. Generally, they don't change without pressure and, as MLK said, 'tension'. Plus, what is so bad about activism? What is wrong with people actively participating in democracy? It's nothing compared to the consequences of racism, sexism, etc.
- thereticent 3y agoThere is some fundamental disconnect in your position if you think applying an objective framework will correct scientific and educational practice. The fact that you seem to be neglecting is that science and science education are social practices. All activism is, is an attempt to change social practices. It's not all somehow unclean or wrong or anti-truth.
