I had a quick look, and the opening part was from a person claiming Indigenous science had been ignored.

Does anyone go on to make a claim that science is just a tool to oppress non-whites? Because these 2 are very different things.

They go through a lot of the theories of science according to the classic postmodernist and examples of it today.

Yes

But science at this time was more than just a practical or ideological tool when it came to empire. Since its birth around the same time as Europeans began conquering other parts of the world, modern Western science was inextricably entangled with colonialism, especially British imperialism. And the legacy of that colonialism still pervades science today.​

​

As a result, recent years have seen an increasing number of calls to “decolonise science”, even going so far as to advocate scrapping the practice and findings of modern science altogether. Tackling the lingering influence of colonialism in science is much needed. But there are also dangers that the more extreme attempts to do so could play into the hands of religious fundamentalists and ultra-nationalists. We must find a way to remove the inequalities promoted by modern science while making sure its huge potential benefits work for everyone, instead of letting it become a tool for oppression.​

Decolonise science – time to end another imperial era

A long read on how science’s dark imperial past still shapes research today – and what to do about it.

Tl;dr science is filled with baddies, but we can't rid of it completely because it might enable worsies, so I dunno, let's decolonise it by keeping only the bits which agree with our politics.

Jordan Peterson enters rehab after wife’s cancer diagnosis

Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist and anti-political-correctness crusader, has checked himself in to rehab in New York, his daughter has revealed.

Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist and anti-political-correctness crusader, has checked himself in to rehab in New York.

The 12 Rules for Life author has sought help trying to get off the anti-anxiety drug clonazepam, his daughter Mikhaila Peterson said in a video posted to her YouTube account Thursday.

“I’ve never seen my dad like this,” the 27-year-old diet blogger said in the eight-and-a-half-minute video. “He’s having a miserable time of it. It breaks my heart.”

The elder Peterson, 57, began taking the addictive medication to deal with stress from his wife’s battle with cancer and other health problems earlier this year, his daughter said.

The controversial University of Toronto professor has been open about his previous struggles with depression, which he has battled since his teen years.

He’s said he beat it back with the meat-heavy diet his daughter encouraged him to adopt. Cutting out greens altogether improved both his mental and physical health, he said in an interview last year.

 

[ShanDog]

Pretty sad situation. Couldn't imagine the stress of dealing with all he had on his plate.

 

[Steinfreo]

JBP gonna have his Russel Brand moment, read capitalist realism and flip left. Its happening!!!!

I’ve only just been linked to this review of Jordie’s book:



“He doesn’t have arguments. It’d be like debating a ventriloquist’s dummy.”

A journey into the centre of the mind of the worst person you've ever met.

 

[ShanDog]

lol you clowns are unreal

 

[Gough]

A lot of this book is getting yelled at by your dad.

 

[Gough]

Lol they're playing Father Figure by George Michael.

A journey into the centre of the mind of the worst person you've ever met.

There's one in there about "the opposite of a criminal being an oedipal mother... which is another kind of criminal anyway".

This is what you get when you write a book based off of a Quora post.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I didn't know the poor bastard's wife is terminally ill.

 

[EasternTiger]

Empower young women to be the best version of themselves = Moral Saint

Empower young men to be the best version of themselves = DANGEROUS

The mind of the typical bigfooty leftist works in much the same way as the petulant little sister of a scorned footy WAG.

It's pointless putting forward contrary views. They don't even look at them. It's classical extremist pathology.

Should have kept her room tidier.

Thing is with Jordie there isn’t a cohesive picture that paints his blog-book in a good light.

It is generally nonsense.

Postmodernism level nonsense?

I'm just being honest like Jordie says.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'm just being honest like Jordie says.

I do not doubt your sincerity.

This is the real problem.

 

[Engimal v3]

I know the saying is "don't speak ill of the dead", but I'm not sure the terminally ill is a great target for a joke either.
