If you're unfamiliar with their story it's a fascinating one -

I'll be covering it in the feature documentary I'm working on. My usual sources of film funding are blocked off to me because of the sensitive subject matter and slow approach I'm taking. If you think what I'm doing here is valuable and you're in a position to help, you can support the project here - / mikenayna
I ask that you please respect everyone that features in my videos and keep your thoughts and feelings in the comment thread.

Please keep up the work you're doing. It is incredibly important.
This.
I am a psychology student and will be making light of the situation in my classes when appropriate.
Students have to start speaking up and telling the truth, no matter the consequences.
They will shout you down as soon as you try to speak up. They use bullying and intimidation tactics to get you submit.
John Ames fuck them; you have to stand up to bullies.
Calum Sanderson not doing anything is aiding to the degradation of science, reason, and society.
All that is required for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. That's a paraphrase.
Calum Sanderson … well, you better start rocking then!
I love the phrase “Grievance Studies”. It’s so accurate and sums up simply a complex group of problems.
A nice little tool to use going forwards.
We have "Big Oil" and Big Pharma".. Why not "Big Grievance" ?? I'm sure money has got to be bound up in this somewhere.
I think the whole world in general needed this. Academics with actual backbones to call out and expose this nonsense rather than kowtowing to it. I know for certain not all college professors agree with grievance courses but simply say nothing because they dont want to get burned at the stake for heresy
That's exactly the situation I'm in. Even though I am in the French department at a major university, I co-teach a number of classes in women and gender studies and am required to teach points of view on gender, sexuality, and society that I know to be patently false. I just do what I'm told, however, because I know if I will lose my job and reputation if I question any of the course materials.
Agreed...
imagede zach you should really form some secret union with other professors and contact FIRE or something. Not trying to be melodramatic, but it really starts with all of you in academia speaking out against this.
It's a good start. What we need is MORE people who are taken seriously to come out and put their name out there. For every person who does it, it makes it that much easier for the next person.
The authors of this specifically said that the vast majority of academics are fine and that there's nothing wrong with gender studies (see their article on Areo Magazine). The problem is that some people are trying to use this issue as an excuse for forcing academics to comply with their own political leanings, this idea that the answer to extremism is extremism from the other side is insane.
End public funding for these departments.
Bongo Supreme *Cut it if the departments are unwilling to apply sufficient academic rigor to their research.
@@penaxor It's impossible to apply academic rigor to this stuff.
It's maddening thinking of the amount of money that has been wasted in these that could've actualy been directed to minorizing social inequalities, like improving schools and housing, etc. It's probably the thing that most upsets me about curruption, the allocation of resources to where they aren't needed, diminishing the amount that goes to the places that actually do need it
I too am an Academic (applied linguistics) and I have been searching for a way to expose what you guys are Talking about for years on end. This transends into more disciplines than you think. Brilliant work. Finally, authentic academic work, which in my opinion, is constant questioning not constant verification of the one and only truthful idea. I believe that this trend has not only present in grievance studies but has transcended into the general humanities and corrupted the whole process of thought. This is Just the tip of the iceberg. It resembles thinking in algorythms. The one writing the code controls the bots. I feel very much inspired by your work. Waiting for further Output. Congrats guys.
What other disciplines does it go into?
@@johnames6430 I studied psychology and I can say that without any doubt it has affected this discipline as well. Especially social psychology, intercultural psychology and subjects that deal with intelligence and group differences. We've been literally fed lies. I now study biomedical sciences and I'm happy to say my current professors deal in facts, even if they point to differences between the sexes and population groups.
@@johnames6430
More than likely psychology; socal work & child protection; Anthropology, especially Social Anthropology; Philosophy (with the heavy influences of the Frankfurt School, and, ergo, 'Critical Theory'); in fact, anything you can label as 'Humanities', inclusive of History; English Language and Literature; Art ... the list suddenly becomes endless, just as long as you can inject fallacious and facetious arguments into a subject, using the appropriate theory and pedagogy, inclusive of the language they use, that isn't part of quantitative analysis ... and even then, one can easily argue, they have already used statistics as part of their arguments ...
The only field, so far, left relatively untouched is the hard sciences, as in Science (Biology, Chemistry, & Physics), Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) ...
But even then, there are inroads being made into it ...
As Dr. Weinstein found out, Evolutionary Biology is under attack for reasons I don't fully understand, but is connected to Race Theory, somehow. In fact, part of the accusation is as a great deal of the science and technological innovation and revolution, was driven by 'white, Cis-heteronormative men', with only the occasion input by 'White Cis heteronormative woman, the history of science and technologies in the last, say, 300 years, is too heavily skewed towards the Western World'; in short, it totally ignores the heritage of other cultures, especially of 'non-white races aka People of Colour (PoC)", and, in fact, if you look on CZcams carefully, you will find PoCs arguing that 'Western Science' needs to be scrapped in favour of 'African Sciences' (and no, I don't have the faintest idea myself ...) ...
My guy feeling is that not only 'Grievance Studies' are at the gates, they have surrounded the walls as well ...
Watch Jordan Peterson’s long format discussion with Camille Paglia. In it he discusses how zebra coloring allow them blend with the herd and provides camouflage within a herd. When scientists tagged them with paint to identify individuals those with paint became distinguishable and were singled out by lions for kills. Similarly education faculty blend with the herd by going along in group thought and employing obtuse language. If one steps out, like these individuals, they are identified for kills. Witness what Portland State University is doing now.
@Nika D
Sadly, you are correct, for the most part. My understanding is that it hasn't yet reached the 'hard' subjects of the stem field ... yet ... (although 'feminist glacierology' may yet prove me wrong ...). But outside those subjects, which one can (very ...) losely call the 'humanities', like an incredibly invasive weed, it has sunk its roots pretty deep, in a anazingly short period of time. Even hallowed halls of learning, such as Yale, & UCLA at Berkeley, have succumbed to this rhetoric ... which means the very future of decent higher education may be at stake ...
If true, it is more terrifying than we can imagine ...
I’ve been sharing this EVERYWHERE!
Your exposure of these issues is almost perfectly timed, if I had to venture a guess at why you’re getting heard- politically, these a whole mass of people who cannot relate to the people who are insisting on using the post modernist culture key words for everything and everyone.
People are finally thinking 🤔... maybe I shouldn’t just accept this out of hand...
Thanks for sharing, Charity - much appreciated
Postmodernism begins with "All truth is subjective," and "There's no such thing as objective truth." In essence, this boils down to "There's no such thing as truth." And in the more vulgar applications of postmodernist epistemological principles, the former gets turned around into "All of my subjective inclinations are truths," as in "If you feel oppressed, you are oppressed."
-- Consider what kind of mental habits and disciplines we have to cultivate to maintain a society of truth and trust. We have to cultivate a willingness to engage in an often-humbling practice of surrendering what we want to believe to evidence to the contrary of those beliefs. We have to cultivate pre-emptive practices that sort out our subjective inclinations according to their plausibility, coherency, and accordance with evidence we've already seen. And we have to cultivate a certain reverence for truth.
-- Postmodernism rejects these disciplines, and encourages emotional and intellectual self-indulgence. Consider the long-term cumulative effect of cultivating postmodernist mental habits. It's hard to imagine an ideology better suited to nudging its adherents toward delusion and mental illness.
-- The "truth system" isn't perfect. When we learn language, our means of representing reality truly or falsely, we learn to fudge reality slightly in order to represent it. Learning language entails that we learn to objectify things, to render them mathematically distinct from one another (via singular and plural nouns referring to countable objects). In the real world, though, everything is connected to everything else, most concretely by attractive forces, especially gravity.
-- An old question from the Greeks: Is the world one thing, or many? Both simple answers lead to skepticism. Simple, absolute holism/monism leads to the conclusion that the distinctions we observe in the world are illusions, and simple, absolute pluralism leads to the conclusion that the connections are illusions (cf. Hume and Leibniz).
-- Newton himself didn't make a clear choice between calling gravity "a property of matter" and "a force," two very different sorts of things with very different metaphysical implications. Einstein suggested that matter might be a manifestation of gravity, reversing the priority, but still maintaining the suggestion of an intimate inherence relation. Newton, btw, argued in his Principia that it would be fruitful to view physical phenomena through a mathematical lens, not that this mathematization was a simple and absolute representation of reality.
-- In our most passive mental states, our sensory fields are not distinctly divided into countable objects, but are variegated tapestries of sensation.
-- When we engage our brains in conscious activity, that activity depends on objectification, which is the imposition of a mathematical framework onto the world. But this isn't the same as making it up out of whole cloth. The real world partakes of both singularity and plurality, connectedness and distinctness, though the latter pair are direct antonyms. From the perspective our means of representation, the world is ambiguous with respect to connectedness and distinctness, but the world is as it is, and our means of representation are the means by which we stand back from it and make sense of it.
-- Objectification is a form of abstraction, perceiving objects as distinct, conceptually "shearing" them from their connections to the rest of the world. Objectification is more commonly seen in terms of holding objects apart from the perceiving subject, and this is part of the same process. When we render things as distinct from one another, we render them as distinct from ourselves.
-- AND, in the same process, when we render all objects distinct from ourselves, we render ourselves distinct from the world. We abstract ourselves from the world, and gain a standpoint for observing it. This is how subjectivity happens.
-- There are grounds for some skepticism regarding the verisimilitude of our view of reality, but for millennia, people have been refining the truth system to enhance its consistency, coherency, and practical truth value. It works. Science, and science's manifestations in technology are examples.
-- Postmodernism grew out of 20th century phenomenology, especially Husserl's phenomenology, which Husserl saw as a science of subjective experience. He got himself into a bind in his later career. Once into the box of viewing subjectivity from the inside, he couldn't find a way out again, specifically with regard to affirming that the world of subjective experience coincided with a real world out there. This isn't such a problem. The world affirms its existence for us pre-consciously and holistically, prior to our objectifying it into distinct objects. Those distinct objects don't exist absolutely AS distinct objects, due to their ambiguity as partly distinct, and partly as connected parts of larger wholes and wholes consisting of smaller parts. But Husserl didn't see this. Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty tried to ground phenomenology in their own ways, but Derrida ran with the skepticism.
-- Another question from the Greeks: should human intellect ("philosophy") be used for the pursuit of manipulative winning ("glory in the agora") or in the more humble pursuit of truth. This theme is covered in Plato's Republic and in Gorgias. Postmodernism is a reversion back to the pursuit of manipulative winning, and the pursuit of "Hey, look at me. I'm saying something outrageously nihilistic!"
-- Postmodernism takes the justifications for skepticism and ignores the justifications for the truth system, in order to provide an excuse to dismiss whatever truths one doesn't want to face. We can know this from its "accomplishments."
-- Sorry to ramble on like this. I wanted to make the point that postmodernism is the key intellectual cancer that infects academia today. Scientism is another problem, one that had something to do with why postmodernism got legs, but that's another matter. (Scientism is the unselfconscious application of the scientific approach to human affairs with no awareness of its inherent artificiality, manipulativeness, and proneness to elitism. Until we have a more adequate grasp of things, the scientific approach will continue to efface the human spirit.) Scientism is one of the original impulses that gave us Marxism, and the marriage of these two extremes is a marriage of two intellectual cancers.
@grizzlygrizzle Dude you need to write this all down into a book or something. If you do please tell me, I want to read it.
This is the flipside of Project Veritas. Here it's not what they assert, but what they accept as true and credible that is damning.
Good bite-size breakdown of this.
Our children need you and your work. Please don’t stop!
Benjamin Rood that’s a very bad mentality. These people will catch up to every single school if they’re not stopped. You think simply picking a different school will protect your child? Absolutely not. If not now, they will catch up to us in the future.
For the sake of those children, keep spreading the word. You see what's happening out on the street now.
I don't have children and i wholeheartedly support this plea!
Absolutely fantastic, just wanted to wish you all the best. There is such a huge silent majority who you are a voice for keep going!
Appreciate that, thank you
Keep spreading the word, now more than ever.
Much love and respect to you guys your doing a heroic thing
This documentary hasn't even come out yet, and it's already the best documentary I've seen.
Can you please please PLEASE make this a book? Or a feature length documentary? Something big? There's no way publishers wouldn't take a proposal for this whole situation. It's complicated, but it's interesting. And most of all, it's necessary.
Austin Ruh The guy posting this IS making a documentary out of this. This is a snippet.
Lol, I see.
@@Name-zf7qc You can help here, Austin - www.patreon.com/mikenayna :)
It's even more critical, for understanding what's going on in July 2020.
Tremendous work so far, keep it up!
Keep spreading the word, now more than ever. Look at what's happening here in July 2020.
Love you guys. Keep up the good work!
This has been going on for too long. If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes truth. And all these people are going to have a painfull landing back to reality.
"...so you can conclude nearly anything as long as it's hostile to the right....things." I was surprised only by the addition of that last word.
THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL. THIS DOCUMENTARY IS GOING TO SAVE SO MANY LIVES. SPREAD THIS PLEASE!!
I love following these guys! keep up the good job, we need to educate students in the social sciences to detect these things. Then this grievance study papers go into politicians hands and they believe it's real and make politics around them. And it's happening all over the west. I¡m from Argentina and our public university is absolutely infested with these ideas.
On spot. I try to teach my students to detect this stuff. My seminar last week showing this caused them to open their eyes. Let's not forget..Publish or Perish vs Teaching
Keep it up. A lot of us on all sides are with you
I lean left, and I love you guys.
You'll wake up soon.
Regardless of what direction one leans, the truth and the freedom to speak it must be defended by all sides.
TheColdrush22 I lean right, and I love them too
Hey Mike, this is such an important project. I’m waiting in so much anticipation for more. Good luck out there.
Thanks for all your work. It is much appreciated.
You guys are being absolute heroes, keep up the great work!
I am glad they are doing this. I get tired of sitting in my psychology courses and listening to them talk on studies that have no scientific evidence, let alone common sense.
The reason you'd need a book to fully describe you thoughts is because our language has been manipulated to make unpopular idea dificult to express. Chomsky speaks about this.
Wikipedia is awash with 'Idea Laundering'. ( I like the phrase btw :-)
Why does identity politics make me think that this phenomenon is group narcissism? Am I wrong to think that?
Not so much.
That's why they call it "Social Just Us", group narcissism with the associated delusions of cultural and moral superiority over anyone who does is not part of "the group" and we all know how that played out last time around.
No, you are not wrong ... in fact, many Clinical Psychologists have noted that there is a distinct correlation between the rise of "Social Justice", and just how many staff, faculty, and students, whom are in "Greivance Studies", fall in line with a Cluster B Personality diagnosis ...
Technically narcissistic behaviour concerns “individual behaviour” so no it can’t be, however the analogy is accurate with a pinch of poetic licence 🙂
Communal narcissism on a mass scale
You guys must make a feature length documentary of this....... PLEASE!!!!
That's the goal. If you'd like to help - www.patreon.com/mikenayna
Have you talked to Joe Rogan yet? That would spread your story the fastest.
It's both sad and hilarious that you're not exactly wrong. I wonder if these guys know about chimpanzees.
Joe will blow this shot right open. It is what it is.
@@randommcranderson5155
Someone has to be the most popular podcaster, why is it sad and hilarious that it's Joe? A genuinely curious guy who has conversations with interesting people for hours at a time.
Oh shit I forgot.. The alternative influence report. If they go to joe it might make them look partisan since Joe is apparently an alt-right neonazi now. Then again did anyone actually take that horseshit serious? It seems this whole thing is the perfect rebuttle to that.
One study comes out and makes baseless claims that anyone critical of certain ideas on the left must be alt-right.
Then this comes out and actually has substance and seems to be putting a lot of these people on their backfoot.
Well, yes, but unfortunatly that would also immedietly colour the opinion on them. I think it's better to not associate with what is usually considered the "alt right". The best approach in my opinion is to retain the position as researchers and not take a ideological stance.
Please keep up the good work. I work in biomedical research at a pretty prestigious university, and somehow the grievance shenanigans have started to creep into basic bench and translational research. I wish I were kidding.....
Cooliotopnotch how would critical race theory and marxism be inculcated into biomeds? Does your research team need to comprise of x amount of y ethnic group? Is funding not awarded for certain research programmes?
How 'Grievance Studies' could even begin to creep into basic bench science, scares the daylights out of me; but then hardly surprising ... suffice to say I lost my shot at a career in biomedical science due to ... well, a long story, but suffice to say Human Resources Departments, especially attached to Government Research Labs, are seemingly being rapidly filled with those with a 'Grievance Studies' background ...
@@nigelft I despise this form of intellectual subjectivism. Abstraction of concrete truths should not even be messed with. It will destroy medical research and the entire medical field at the seams.
@@kickassssnation027
Indeed ...
When I first heard about the hoax papers, I laughed hard enough until my ribs hurt ...
Then reality hit like a sledgehammer to my guts ...
Granted, I would expect any 'journal' specialising in the 'Grievance Studies' would have pretty poor peer-review. But just how far has this rot gone, and for how long ...? In my own field of biomedical science and research, I have to ask the hard questions: how rigourious is the peer-review process, especially after past events (cf. the Andrew Wakefield scandle in The Lancet); and how much evidence-based medicine can rely on treatment studies being published ...?
So when you wrote '[a]bstraction of concrete truths should not even be messed with. It will destroy medical research and the entire medical field at the seams', sadly I have to agree with you for the large part. If, say, journals like the New England Journal of Medicine can no longer be trusted, due to uncertainty over the quality of their review and publishing standards, it will certainly stifle any futher medical advancements. In addition, that will cause even greater public distrust of medical professionals, which may well lead to more people turning to quack medicine and snake oil peddlers ... and God only knows what will happen then ...
@@nigelft I see this as a much too great a crisis. I'm a pediatrician and I plan to specialize in Developmental Pediatrics and I will not risk the life of my patients and my future children on a dubious study that will only destroy a child's mind. There is a reason why we need to have a thorough gate-keeping panel of experts to look at our papers and see the trouble with them. Call me conservative, but I find that the politization and enterprising of healthcare to be the utter scumbag move I've ever had to deal with. These prats do not deserve to step on a panel without first seeing first hand in handling a patient.
They are doing amazing and important work and your work documenting it is just as amazing and important. I can't wait to watch the final movie. My guess is it will have just as much sociopolitical importance and relevance as "The Red Pill"
Why does this channel only have 12k subscriber, I'm confused.
I pretty sure it only had a few thousand when I subbed last week
Give them a chance the "useful idiots that is", just as soon as the twatter outrage mobs gets a hold of this they will spread it all over the web just like they always do. They are the fastest cheapest viral marketing machine available and they work for free.
CrisTooR - It has already started, they have gone from 280 on 1st Oct to 12k in ten days, graphtreon.com/creator/mikenayna
They are probably being held down by youtube, they actively will remove "Trending" videos that don't agree with leftist politics.
Exactly as TheFaceless Men says. socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCzk08fzh5c_BhjQa1w35wtA/monthly shows a few more stats regarding youtube.
Some of us understand what's going on, no need to worry on that point.
As far as why you have found that you haven't been rejected yet, and others in the past were. Simple - Grievance is losing traction, and has been since they not only embraced, but also encouraged violence.
you guys are the heroes saving the humanity.
Good! This makes me optimistically hopeful for the future!! Thank you for y'alls hard work &for risking it all😊
I can’t say it enough,
“Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 “
The Emperor's New Clothes is my favourite fairy tale.
That is exactly what I was thinking earlier today. They all have to pretend to out-do each other by virtue signalling but no one can dare say the truth about how they feel...so they all just have to keep pretending to go along with it. It's like being trapped inside a cult.
A cult is exactly what feminism and identity politics are. They give Scientology a run for their money in how they seek to destroy apostates.
Thank you so much for your work. I hope this changes things sooner or later
Love the work you are doing! I just wish more people would follow your example and show the world the corruption and collectivism infecting our intellectual spaces.
Please write a book including the essays! I'd buy it.
Keep up the good work! I feel so proud of you guys, even though I live a world removed away from yours. What you do is so important because I can see the effect that the rot that has sprout forth from these grievance studies has had throughout the world. For eg, my culture, my history, our ways of thinking, the way we react to situations etc as a people is wholly different from that of the West, for the most part. And yet I see the grievance studies proponents in my corner of the world parrot THE EXACT SAME WORDS, exact same mannerisms of speaking, and exact same iconography of thought process that their counterparts in the West do. That's scary. Imagine an eskimo whom you have known your entire life waking up one day and talking to you in a posh British Bond accent. It's like a freakin' virus .
I prefer the metaphor "pod people"; where somebody you've known for decades and trusted to be sensible seems to wake up one morning an entirely different person, with altered loyalties, scrambled logic, and a willingness to denounce you to the other pod people for the slightest disagreement with them.
Good job. Keep at it.
The light always prevails.
You guys scare the shit out of me... And hopefully everyone else who watches these videos. Keep it up!
These videos are turning into one damn good show, except that it's real, and has real-life consequences attached to the story line. Bring on the next episode. Also, this channel is going to explode soon. I hope.
And, South Park's new episode tonight was fucking amazing!!!
You’re being taken seriously because we’re all out here and experiencing what you’ve described. As a graduate student I find myself trying to explain much of the phenomena you are covering. I’d love to connect. It has become deeply intertwined with my dissertation work in clinical psychology.
mike@checkpointmedia.com.au
It’s impossible to put into words just how important this is. Many of us can see what’s happening, but you have found a way to put massive evidence together concisely. Please keep going. Not many things in this world have the potential to alter the course of the world for the better, but this does. Godspeed.
I subscriped and did the up buttom thing, too. Really good work, and please keep them coming. The Dog-Culture and the 10,000 dogs who were so closely examined? They need more, too.
Keep up the good work. You're needed.
Thank you for your good work! Maybe science can get back on track.
I would love to see a detailed book about everything you guys have done.
My first job out after graduating college was IT support at the psychology dept at the same college. A few months in, I got a ticket to resolve in a separate building, a joint venture with sociology: Women's Studies. I asked my boss, "Stupid question time: What is their field of academic research?" He said "You can talk to them about it." Boy. Day 1 I got the impression this shouldn't even be a discipline, they literally pore over history and the news and economic reports all day just looking for something to bitch about. I also wondered, who justified this expenditure in a department? I thought we lived in an equal society, how come there's no "Men's Studies" department? I just knew philosophically this was solely an activist movement and was entirely unproductive. I vastly underestimated just how *de* structive it was to allow it to continue.
I look forward to more.
I can't get enough of this, I don't think the importance of this work can be overstated. You people are no bullshit no sarcasm actually heroes, to have the strength of character to knowingly stand in front of what could essentially amount to a modern day lynch mob is impressive.
Thanks, Erwin. The kind words are very much appreciated. I'll pass them on to the others.
@@MikeNayna oh awesome, good luck with making the full documentary, accountability for all.
These guys NAILED it
Love this. Good stuff. We need this now more than ever.

Thank you for having the courage to stand up and declare that "the emperor is naked!"
Thank god I stuck to studying Physics at my liberal arts college
New sub, excellent work team.
Absolute heroes. All my very best to these three.
Wow this is amazing. I wouldn't have believed just how corrupt it is if I hadn't been exposed to the Real Peer Review on Twitter already.
Please keep these videos coming. This story needs to be heard.
Keep up the good work! We need more academics to do this
The reason why what happened to Brett and his wife, did not happen this time around, you caught them with their pants down and humiliated them. Brett and his wife tried to reason with them.
Awesome work guys ...
Excellent video! Right on!
Good job, well produced without being over the top. Valuable material. Now extend it to a feature. Is there another phase to this?
Thanks a bunch. The footage I'm collecting will be turned into a feature-length documentary, I'm playing around with some of the footage on CZcams while figuring this thing out
The internet is a gift and a curse. People have become more knowledgeable but at the same time are led a stray by false BS stories and it happens to every single one of us. I would say there are writers and editors that know what's going on and are trying to catch the curve before it happens. The curve being reasonable thinking which has gotten away from us. The Kavanaugh hearing has helped a lot with this and I'd say in 10 years people will look back and see this as the turning point for when society started to correct itself I hope
There's a lot of people with some sense out there that felt what was wrong, and to articulate it and explain it to people was hard because like he said there's so much to understand that it's hard to compress it into a book. I'm so thankful this team can map it out. Incredible work
You are my heroes guys.
Thank you. One of the major regrets of my life is not pursuing my Ph.D.- Literature of The US Labor Movement, 1896-1922, George Orwell, or Ecstasy and Loss in Thomas Wolfe. However the more I become familiar with academics I believe had I pursued my degree I would have been associating myself with graduates of some vast Milgram Experiment.
My eyes have been opened like this. I had thought of this as intellectual dishonesty, which it is, but corruption for political ends is a much clearer way of looking at it as it brings it into the same league of deception as rigged smoking studies. Laundering is also a great term, which takes this into the same league as money laundering.
I hope you write the book. I'll most definitely read it :D
i didn't quite understand what you guys were doing when I first heard about this in the news, but this video makes it very clear, idea laundering is a great term.
Watching this team and story is so fun.
Great fun was in a previous video where they are reading the response of one of the reviewers of "Dog Park", where the reviewer was concerned that the privacy of the dogs was preserved!. So PC, and so beside the point.
I can see in their expressions that these guys are part of something bigger than them.
It makes me think of that experiment with the earmarked zebras.
Keep up to good work!!
We're in the water we swim in, and some people keep peeing in the pool.
They are the three musketeers. This work is as important as finding cures for the pandemic, IMHO
you guys are the start of recalibration in the academic narrative truth & science always wins the day
The media isn't going to try to call you out or help publicize what you've done. They want it to go quietly unnoticed. The Art of War, never engage in battle when your opponent has the upper hand.
I am somewhere in between liberal and progressive depending on the issue and I think this is fantastic!! It’s up to us to call out our own side when it goes too far and there are many things that go off the edge into the ridiculous! Keep at it team!
When you do something good and are confused that no one hates you yet...
So glad someone is exposing this nest of academic corruption. Thankfully, these papers should be easily invalidated, once the requirement that all hypothesis be falsifiable, is reasserted. If it can't be disproven, then it's not science it's religion, and should have the same societal disregard
And thus did the book get written and it's excellent at explaining so much.
Thank you..!! Very important ...!! Awesome work...!!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. For having morals, for having principles, and for exemplifying the very best aspects of academia. Thank you.
This whole thing you guys are a part of is just mind boggling. If you find a way to make a movie or some type of documentary out of this I would be amazed. Many people are interested in this as I'm sure you are very aware.
James is a legitimate thought-leader in the America First movement. So blessed to have smart kids like y’all on Team America!
Those who don’t recognise the importance of these studies will find out by force in the future. It’s an unavoidable tragic issue.
Go! Go! Go! Go!

It seems like psychology could easily be punked like this, especially things like "psychic structures" of the mind, dream analysis, archetypes, etc. How do you separate mythic language from literal language? And if mythic language is unfalsifiable, it can't be science at all, and must be reduced to subjective reality. Of course depth psychologists will say archetypes have "objective reality" if they describe universal symbols that arise across cultures, like Campbell's 10,000 faces of god, etc.
great work
What's happening is they have discovered they've been sucked in.
Elaborate, please.
I’m so happy that you all accomplished this! This identity politics in academia has to stop.
Keep it up! This seems to be the only effective confrontation of an insidious blight.
I am with you 100 %. I can remember when I first heard of 'Creationism' from the US in the 70's, I found it difficult to believe that such a simplistic dogma could hold any ground in in the 20th century, I now feel the same with 'political correctness' and what you have termed 'idea laundering', it has a history and (not that I have reviewed much) must have developed in America from around 60's/ 70's and probably has its main roots in the Evangelicals (just surmising)..keep up the good work..This nonsense must be challenged..
This is actually pretty good meta - modernists work of retesting and reevaluating ones assumptions.
