Commitment to empirical science hurts dumbasses. Is he saying that women are dumbasses?

So let’s have engineers who are women design a bridge at a university near him.

#3 Can anyone translate this leftist crap into plain English? I don’t recognize half of their adjectives, adverbs and newly created nouns.

Re “empirical science”. Didn’t know that Empires had “science” though the communists/Marxists are always talking about “scientific socialism” as though it was a valid concept. Guess they never read the results of Lysenko’s “fake” environmental changes on genetics.

In fact, I guess that half these leftist aholes who pose as professors have never read much of anything that was purely “scientific” without the Marxist shit thrown in (which happens a lot in “Scientific Americans” and some of the “newer” supposedly “science” publications and website.

As a wise man said many centuries ago that would apply to these faux-scientists about their anti-male, anti-white, anti-American, anti-free enterprise and pro-83 genders rants, “prove it”.

The insanity is definitely marked by the generations, but it progressed incrementally over time.

#52. Marie Curie was a hardcore communist so she would probably agree with the crap these professors spouted.

There were women who contributed significantly to the technological side of cryptology during WW2 (the Bletchley Girls), Hedy Lamarr (invented a device concerning undersea warfare), women astronauts, the marvelous medical nurses of all our wars, the female spies (including Julia Childs, the chief), and now air force mechanics and pilots, etc.

A smart woman can hold her own against any man if given the chance. I work with some very smart women in the legal field. Wouldn’t want to go up against them in court.

And if anyone bothers to watch some current business ads on TV/Cable TV, they showcase a lot of women as CEO’s of technological firms. Good for them. We need more smart women, not political fakes and whores like Hillary Clinton and Fauxcohantas.

Science should be based purely on Emotion and Feminine Sensitivities.

How could what these professors say possibly true??? There are NO DIFFERENCES among human beings. I bet those professors have espoused exactly that before.

Almost. They’ve admitted that they’re disgusted that, when they DO do the math, they don’t get their own special feminine set of answers that they can use to show up the men who did the math last century.

Competency is a “white man construct”

Science and engineering are the last bastions of sanity in higher education. This cannot be tolerated by the Frankfurt School influenced professorate. The hard sciences exclude those with IQs under 85 and many women. This meritocracy is a ‘tool of whiteness,’ and sexism. Blacks who want to excel are attacked for acting white. Some academic version of Gen. George Casey is saying, “What happened at the bridge by Florida International University was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.” Are the Chinese following our lead in this matter. If not they will be the leaders in this field. This study was Led by Carroll Serron, who teaches at the University of California-Irvine. She has been the Principal Investigator for multiple projects funded by the National Science Foundation, among other foundations. Your tax dollars at work. The President did not veto this.

Absurd. To put this in perspective—at my Moms funeral I learned that she had enrolled in an engineering class at the Univ of Iowa in the 1930s. She was removed the next day by the Dean. Seems she had enrolled as “Ed” rather than Edna in an effort to game the male only enrollment policy of the time.

Now that was a significant injustice—yet she never stated anything about it to us kids. She just got on with her life.

The “professor,” Carroll Serron, is a sociology teacher and clearly is devoid of critical thinking, much less knowledge of the empirical sciences essential to engineering. Truly this is sick sick sick.

Way way way way beyond time to level out the political emphasis of the staff at our universities.

This is a national scandal.

K-12th grade is about as bed these days.

Total indoctrination post parent full-time custody essentially.

Empirical science? Newton's Laws of motion dictate most of structural and mechanical engineering analyses. When did they go from deductive analytical reasoning to inductive methods? The left is now going full bore in its attack on western civilization. Academia is the spear tip of the attack.

So, let's say you're building a pedestrian bridge. As long as you feel the calculations are correct, it's ok?

I have no idea what the Prof is trying to say.

I have spent many years in an around academia, including recent years where the bottom has fallen out of standards and in the hyper-PC leftism that has infected our institutions.

Much of academia today is not based on facts, truth, or especially - the laws of God. It is nothing but a charade of self-stroking and self-serving narcissism.

Academia (universities and colleges) teach garbage in much of their classrooms. Political garbage mixed with lies that they can bend to their own will and sins.




History, social sciences, politics, you name it. They have morphed all of these into stews of black supremacy, feminism, homosexuality, Hispanic supremacy, and the like. They drape their garbage with the thin veneer of "scholarship" - but everyone knows it is a joke. And deep down, so do they. This bothers them, especially when their charade is exposed by real scholarship and study.

The hard sciences have been beyond their reach, because they teach God's truth. You cannot "spin" Differential Equations, Heat Transfer, Metallurgy, Thermodynamics, or Bernoulli's Equation.

So now they are going to target engineering, because not only is it male dominated (Asians and European-Americans make up the vast majority of its students), but because the hard sciences that have not been completely infected by PC expose their own lies and the sham of "scholarship."

That analogy is more dead on than you know.
