Stellar contributors to Lawrence Krauss’s new book “The War on Science” include Janice Fiamengo, Richard Dawkins, Niall Ferguson, Jordan Peterson, Steven Pinker, Gad Saad…

Interesting. The text accompanying a video by Genetically Modified Skeptic:

“Lawrence Krauss has a new book coming out, The War on Science. It does not look promising. Here’s a list of the contributors:

Dorian Abbot, John Armstrong, Peter Boghossian, Maarten Boudry, Alex Byrne, Nicholas Christakis, Roger Cohen, Jerry Coyne, Richard Dawkins, Niall Ferguson, Janice Fiamengo, Solveig Gold, Moti Gorin, Karleen Gribble, Carole Hooven, Geoff Horsman, Joshua Katz, Sergiu Klainerman, Lawrence M. Krauss, Anna Krylov, Luana Maroja, Christian Ott, Bruce Pardy, Jordan Peterson, Steven Pinker, Richard Redding, Arthur Rousseau, Gad Saad, Sally Satel, Lauren Schwartz, Alan Sokal, Allesandro Strumia, Judith Suissa, Alice Sullivan, Jay Tanzman, Abigail Thompson, Amy Wax, Elizabeth Weiss, Frances Widdowson.

I don’t know all of those names, but the ones I do are just the worst. Krauss dredged the slime from the bottom of the grievance-obsessed academic shithole. I’m not going to read this trash, so I’ll let Genetically Modified Skeptic discuss what is in it.

It’s a collection of essays by people who are triggered by DEI. Screw that.”

The first of the comments:

“Janice Fiamengo! *Obi-wan voice* Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…a long time. She’s long been one of the Not Like the Other Girls™ men’s rights activists.

The rest are a mix of the usual culture-war suspects and people I’ve never heard of. But something about the name “Christian Ott” sounded familiar…ah! His claim to fame is being the first faculty member suspended for gender-based harassment at Caltech, in 2015. (The unpleasant details.)

I suspect looking further into the list of authors will turn up similar gems.”

  1. so .. i read through the comments of the linked piece.. Comedy gold from people who are triggered by a book with a group of people they don’t like( never mind disagree with) whilst claiming it a collection of essays triggered by DEI( but they forgot to mention also cancel culture.. Wonder why)

    The “blog” reminds me of the “we hunted the mammoth ” blog, itself I believe is or will be becoming appropriately extinct. It does make me wonder if they are using lead based paint in their homes..

    The video isn’t much better either.. just clickbait, but I guess there has to be a place on youtube and the internet for them. I guess there’s money to be made hosting people who have some variation of TDS…
