And there you have it, #diversity #statements for #university a #role are now a #requirement in some locations: https://www.economist.com/united-states/.. This reminds me of how #germans would have to #pledge to #nazi #hitler , or #russians to #communist #stalin . It's anti- #science , we must *always* be open to the idea that an #idea may be wrong.
Absolutely #insane if true... Apparently #stanford #university have #purchased #tickets and #reserved #bus #seats for their #black #students *only* to watch the #wakandaforever #movie https://www.zerohedge.com/political/stan.. Literally the definition of #racial #discrimination . I wonder if the #black #students will have to #seat at the back of the #bus ? Where is this all going?!
Very cool #story about #students #revolting against a #university 's #surveillance https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/07/senso.. What was interesting to me is that #hr #bypassed the #ethics approval system for #scientific #research , despite it being a *requirement.*
Interesting. An #nyu #university #professor is quitting due to the #requirement that every #presentation outline how a #submission advances #equity , #inclusion , and anti- #racism https://reason.com/2022/09/30/mandated-d.. So essentially each piece of #research must #declare it's #loyalty to an #ideology and #political movement. *Absolutely insane.*
I really want to #revisist the #superpermutations #problem https://groups.google.com/g/superpermuta.. I may ask a #university to #devote some serious #computation #resources as we seriously know very little about the #problem #space , only having #solutions for small values of N. I believe finding #symmetric #patterns could be a #feasible way of #drastically #reducing the #resource #requirements .
#psa from the #university of #california - don't #eat the #soy ! https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/n.. Apparently #soybean #oil is causing #obesity , #diabetes , #autism , #alzheimer 's #disease , #anxiety and #depression ...
Huh, it looks like the #proton may actually be smaller than previously thought! https://www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/020-2022 Generally I have been quite #impressed with the #research happening at the #university of #bonn !
So the #university of #cambridge in the #uk have just #published a #journal in #support of #violence and #riots , posing them as #just https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/.. This #american #idea of #racetheory needs to go, just checkout the #hackernews #comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=301.. Insanity.
I saw my old #university put out a #callforpapers for #philosophy - and I am super #tempted to #publish something to #refute #ai #scare ... Current #papers in the field of #ai are typically written by people who do not #understand what AI actually is or isn't: https://philpapers.org/browse/philosophy.. Perhaps heavily #discuss this #paper https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/bitstream/handl..
Disgusting, #china 's #ccp have forced the #removal of the #tiananmensquare #statue in #hongkong #university which served in #memory of those who lost their lives in #protest against #communists https://www.lotuseaters.com/hong-kong-ti.. Makes you really sick.
Great talk by #jordanpeterson about why the #uk is great (or #greatbritain as he talks about it, probably for good reason): https://youtube.com/watch?v=KZ-ArH19Kvs https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12.. There is something #british about the #rejection of #marxist #censorship in #university #campuses that may or may not hold true for much longer. #rulebritania indeed.
Very #concerning that #chinese #students at the #university of #perdue #gatekeeping #freespeech of students #studying in the #us https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/ar.. #china 's #ccp has infected into #western #campuses ... Even an #nz #academic was #harassed #criminally over their #research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne-Marie.. I think the #ccp needs to be recognized as a #threat .
Damn, the #trafficlight #system in #nz that #implements #vaccine #passports is now being rolled out across #university #campus ... Apparently we are currently in #orange on the #southisland - but they are looking to open up to #auckland , which will immediately put us in the #red (on purpose). They can then implement their #twotier #society . I have never seen such #authoritarianism in my lifetime, I don't believe my #parents or #grandparents have either. Thank god my #greatgreatgrandparents can't see this.
The #catholic #university of #america have #replace #jesus with #georgefloyd - the #beater of #pregnant #women https://www.lotuseaters.com/catholic-uni.. Also, " #mama " was the #petname he had for his #girlfriend - not him calling out for his #mother ... These people are so unaware it actually hurts.
#bullshit #complaint at #cambridge #university https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/11.. An old #photographer made a simple #remark that the #men could #help the #women step down from a raised platform. Presumably, the #women were likely wearing #dresses and #highheels on this occasion and may have actually had trouble stepping off of the platform. The #men would likely have been wearing #trousers and #shoes ... What a joke.
This is a ultra cool #unofficial #internet #network #designed and #built in a #university in #moscow https://medium.com/@pv.safronov/moscow-s.. I always thought about building something similar for my #homeplace - perhaps as a way to " #share " #data let's say. Can't be any worse than the current crappy #network they have in place there!
