Nobel winner declares boycott of top science journals

Schekman said pressure to publish in “luxury” journals encouraged researchers to cut corners and pursue trendy fields of science instead of doing more important work. The problem was exacerbated, he said, by editors who were not active scientists but professionals who favoured studies that were likely to make a splash.

The prestige of appearing in the major journals has led the Chinese Academy of Sciences to pay successful authors the equivalent of $30,000 (£18,000). Some researchers made half of their income through such “bribes”, Schekman said in an interview.

Refugee Road — the importance of treating behavior as property

Behavioral norms must be treated (and defended) as property. Doing so would allow a limited number of people from other cultures to immigrate. Not doing so, is treason against the native population, the loss of high trust (which is VERY expensive to achieve), the deterioration of society, and the seeds of racial hostility.

Snyder is a sanitizer of history.

—“From the defeat of 1918 Hitler drew conclusions about any future conflict. Germans would always triumph if Jews were not involved. Yet since Jews dominated the entire planet and had penetrated the minds of Germans with their ideas, the struggle for German power must take two forms.”—

Incomplete and irresponsible to ignore the failed 1919 Bolshevik revolution in Germany. As I keep pointing out, Snyder’s gig is to sanitize history.

We are going to have fascism again unless we grow up and acknowledge that its rise in the 20s and 30s was a reaction to communism.

The same reaction is happening today, just against cultural marxists instead of economic ones.

Trump and the libertarian implosion

Important analysis.

Trump and the libertarian implosion:

—“Libertarians had their hour, but their embrace of dubious causes made them irrelevant. The movement needs to think hard about how to reengage conservatives again. But there’s no sign of that. Instead it’s pursuing its alliance with the left in support of freeing drug dealers… a program that has no possible positive outcome either for America or for them.”—

Gandhi’s racism

* In an open letter to the Natal Parliament in 1893, Gandhi wrote:

“I venture to point out that both the English and the Indians spring from a common stock, called the Indo-Aryan. … A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.”

* At a speech in Mumbai in 1896

Ghandi: “to degrade us to the level of the raw kaffir (ie Africans) whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”

* Protesting the decision of Johannesburg municipal authorities to allow Africans to live alongside Indians, Gandhi wrote in 1904:

“(We) must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen.”

* In response to the White League’s agitation against Indian immigration and the proposed importation of Chinese labour, Gandhi wrote in 1903:

“We believe also that the white race in South Africa should be the predominating race.”
