Legal Insurrection readers may recall my piece on a GenZ doctoral student aiming to be an “outer space anthropologist” who asserted that human space exploration is “imperialist.”
This space cadet also painted a chilling vision of what wokeism has in store for serious research as it plans to tighten its grip via “science and technology studies.”
Science and Technology Studies is a small field that teaches us that science and technology are socially constructed entities. In other words, when we work on a scientific project or create technology, we don’t do so in an unbiased way. Science and technology are created with intention, cultural motivation, and political influence. Space projects are no different — they typically have a motivation or intention behind them, even if it’s not always explicit.
Now comes the chilling news that one of the more prestigious science institutions in this country plans to indoctrinate students into believing the “climate crisis” is real. The school has now implemented a graduation requirement for students: a course in climate change.
