    Ayn Rand had something to say about this: "You can choose to ignore reality, but you can't choose to ignore the consequences of ignoring reality."

    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.

    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.

    I think that maybe medieval Europeans believed in dragons because somebody had found prehistoric dinosaur fossils, and the people thought they had been dragons.

    Is it possibly because they think that the sex of a modern human being is easier to change than that of a prehistoric fossil, and they don't want to look at a fact that they cannot change?

    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).

    Allosaur, I wonder if grant-prone Paleontologists will follow the same Woke route when Identifying new dinosaur excavations?

    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.

    If science is no longer empirical, and skeletal remains are conclusive, then we no longer have science and cannot come to accurate conclusions.

    What would Spock say? Fascinating.

    In an old Star Trek episode, Spock: "Even in this far flung galaxy, 2 + 2 still equals 4."

    By the way....MY pronouns are “was/were”.

    Enjoy the decline.
    Rod Dreher had asserted that we would have another Dark Age due to WOKEism. I believe he is correct.

    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.

    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.

    Are the scientists concerned they might use the incorrect pronoun when identifying the skeleton?

    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.
