Follow the money. You took the thoughts right out my head, GaryL. Why would the science whores of archeology be any different from the science whores of climate change or the science whores of medicine?

Edit add: Let's not confuse real scientists with the science whore lot.

Thank you. Following the money in a Marxist Puppet-In-Chief's unforgiving regime DID cross me dino's aging mind, since somehow I got diverted from mentioning that.
As Bush the Younger very recently said for flubbing something me dino can't recall during a speech, "I'm 75." Yes, me dino am and me jealous of the sharpness and stamina of my hero, Orange Man Bad, who is 76.

Precisely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like AGW!!!!

You Sir, WIN the Internets this day!

Oh dear.....I may have misgendered you starGUY! My sincere apologies.
By the way....MY pronouns are “was/were”.
(Yes I’m being sarcastic. But, not to starguy. Good Comment.)

Me dino read about Marxist professors dreaming up CRT, screwed-up pronouns and putting on the Yoke of the Woke to become a sick and twisted oppressed sad Joke.

Neanderthals being prejudiced against Sasquatch groins may have started that whole systemic racist embediment implementation.

^ 5 Carl.....and there in is the "rub" hahahaha...that's with the trans in PA....I know of not one female.....woman.....lady.....girl..with a pouch!

Don't think me dino would care to see an "I am science" kinda archeologist guy thinking he's justified getting it on with an Alley Oop old fossil who identifies as being a cave girl.

Thankfully for all of us the game was "Cum whenever the feeling arose". We have come a long way since but my fear is the WOKE have things flipped.

Yes, because the skeleton may become offended and ask the government of Biden's Regime to deny those scientists a grant for hurting the feelings of whatever sexual being dem bones dem bones dem long dead dry bones identifies with.

When me dino started this post, I was thinking that the Neanderthal human species or the Cro-Magnons (us) were too busy keeping alive (hunting woolly mammoths without getting squashed, dodging the charges of woolly rhinos and staying off the menus of gigantic cave bears and saber-toothed cats) to have enough idle time on their hands to contemplate identifying with the opposite sex.

Exactly......hence the long slow slide into a new Dark Age. Where feelings are facts and garbage is money. Store up the old tomes of knowledge. Lest the barbarians trash them like the Library of Alexandria. Everything from before 20 years ago is as gold. The rest of it is suspect. Physical Paper beats Ones and Zeros over time. Throw NOTHING away.
Remember how funny it was that Rome persecuted Galileo for claiming the Earth was NOT the center of the universe based on evidence? I’m not laughing anymore.

Oh, there are some people who will even deny that. I said it once to a former employer; that "2+2=4 because 2+2 is another name for 4." (This referred to the Law of Identity.) But he said that that was only because people had agreed that "four" would be the sound to represent "2+2". I told him, "You can do that. But you have to be consistent about it. You can't have one sound mean "4" on Tuesday, and have it mean "5" on Thursday," or, as I explained, words would become gibberish, and he would be unable to say anything that meant anything. He was unable to refute that. It is good to have read some of Aristotle's Metaphysica if one wants to defend reason. (Of course, I don't maintain that I quoted all those few sentences word for word, it was maybe about 48 years ago.

Even in a mega-myriad of foreign and ET languages.

Me dino thinks they are self- made victims of group think for lacking a spine.
Oh, yeah, and they feel they should do stupid pet tricks to receive government funding.

Probably if this dreamed up my Marxist college professors Woke Schiff doesn't eventually burn out like some sad fad. And maybe it won't burn out.
But I've read CRT (from the same source as Woke) is even part of U.S. military training now and heard it speculated on Fox New radio this week that is why fewer young adults are enlisting.
Wonderful timing with the Chinese army glutted with a surplus of young men from families allowed to have one child (due to female babies aborted).
