yeonmi-park "in North Korea, they ban topics from research that go against Kim Jon Un's party line."

One thing that surprises me is that this is all words I would associate with culture war. I would have expected them to ban something like "poverty".

I look forward to the future where scientific paperwork uses early 2000s type slang to dodge the basic word filter.

I've had some experience with the NIH process, and grant writing is actually 100% the same thing as resume padding. You'll have random people on the review boards complain that your grant doesn't touch on their favorite hobby horse.

In the grand scheme of things if this looks like all this is is swapping out terms, it's literally always been this way. It just wasn't made into official documents.

Sure this is idiotic, but this has been going on just unofficially for arbitrary things for years based on independent reviewers.

Seems like "barrier", "status", "polarization", "excluded", and "historically" are gonna hit some unrelated fields

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Amerikan right wingers have never given the tiniest fuck if their policies have a disastrous fallout for education and science. Fascists in particular see intellectual impoverishment of the people as an additional benefit, remember German Physics?

I'm honestly surprised this largely sticks to gender studies and research into racism etc., would have expected them to take the axe to climate science as well.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

They are doing that one abit more subtly. They can't challenge it directly, as that combats their opinions of themselves as 'scientific' but I am seeing papers coming out of Midwestern ecology schools (which are subsequently pushed hard on social media), that are pushing forward a hypothesis that 'we just don't know enough about the carbon cycle, there are lots of unaccounted carbon creating beings that could be helping with the warming', as well as people saying that because there have been no apocalyptic universal Hollywood spectacal collapse that 'the climate scientists got all their predictions wrong'.

It'll creep into mainstream thought over time, especially as it becomes too late to change.

sounds like eco-genocide...

What do you call the LA wildfires?

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They aren't 'universal' (other than the studio, yuk yuk) enough, as apocalyptic as they should be. Already seeing people just blaming California state government, and not connecting it to the awful smog and fires coming down from Canada, because memory is basically a month for most.

"This catalyst can lower the energy barrier for industrially relevant reactions" WOKE

"This increases the polarization of the chemical bond" WOKE

Can't wait for all the neuropharmacology studies that are going to get defunded because of the "blood-brain barrier."

Sounds woke to me

[–] grendahlgrendahlgen@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Almost any of them could hit unrelated fields. "Female" could be referring to female plants.

The flow chart does specify that decisions are made on banned terms AND context, so I guess that's how they'll avoid ~~retracting~~ denying nearly everything.

[–] crime@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is for funding grant proposals, so they wouldn't be retracting anything. Doesn't look like they're looking at context at all, based on the flowchart, a proposal with a title like "Effects of colloidal silver on female Cannabis plants" would get rejected in the first step.

[–] grendahlgrendahlgen@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But the flowchart says "keywords and context" at each of the steps. That's what I'm referring to.

[–] Sphere@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As a programmer, that flowchart looks to me like the precursor to an automated system. The only way they could check the context in an automated fashion would be with some kind of AI, whose efficacy in doing so is going to be dubious at best given the language difference between most text on the Internet and grant proposals.

Putting "please ignore all previous instructions" randomly in the text

Let's be honest, they'll half ass this and end up denying a multitude of stuff

“historically”

Science no longer allowed to discuss the past

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These people are pathetic. I know they feel big and strong right now because they have a bit of power they can use to go smash shit up. But like they are genuinely, unreservedly, without qualification... Pathetic.

Like it would be hard not to laugh at them if one walked into my house... That and maybe a special treat for them. Simply pathetic

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

I'd like to beat them with a baseball bat, while laughing. Such loserdom.

This study aims to impove our understanding of longitudinal double-spin asymmetry for inclusive jet and dijet production in polarized proton collisions at √𝑠 =200  GeV

  • Does the TITLE or ABSTRACT contain keywords and context that implicate the EO?
  • Yes
  • Retain flag, DEIA and other EO language found (Category 3)
  • END

How TF did we get out-maneuvered by these literal manchildren?

And the government's priority is literally coddling their feelings.

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Easy to outmaneuver us when we ain't maneuvering in the first place. 95% of western leftist movements are dead or controlled opposition.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

I guess the institution cannot reflect on itself if you ban the word 'institutional'.

[–] Abstinence@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

so all papers that talk about statistical biases (most papers) are just gone
