I support the purported intent of this policy, not the misuse of it. But that's something that has to be challenged when it happens, and it hasn't happened yet.

I support the purported intent of this policy, not the misuse of it. But that's something that has to be challenged when it happens, and it hasn't happened yet. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to make any policy since it could always potentially be misused. For the record I expect there will be some misuse of it, but broadly I also expect it to curtail the fake woke "science" that was itself a kind of misuse of the system.
- drawkward 2y ago...can you point to some of this 'fake "woke" science'?
- sincerecook 2y agoHere's a study that looked at precisely the kind of thing this policy will address: https://www.cspicenter.com/p/increasing-politicization-and-homogeneity-in-scientific-funding-an-analysis-of-nsf-grants-1990-2020 https://www.cspicenter.com/p/increasing-politicization-and-h... To be clear, I would be in support of this policy even if there was no evidence because it sets a tone that I think is positive.

- 9283409232 2y agoThe list very clearly spells it out and it will go that far if it hasn't already.
- freejazz 2y ago"wokesters" ah, that must be the IT standards organization that banned the use of the words "master" and "slave."
- drawkward 2y agoBut is the "woke science" incorrect? It is possible that it is both accurate and something you dislike?
