The first intellectual rule of research is obvious to and understood by every literate person above the age of twelve.

Except professors.

Rule A One:

Put on permanent hold any so-called “study” that comes out exactly the way those providing the money want it to come out.

Some time ago two of the “top researchers on the environment” were caught with their pants down.

Emails between them made it clear that they were conspiring to make the case their funders wanted.

The grantors want to turn the entire industrial economy over to “intellectuals” like these two to prevent global warming.

This made unexpectedly big news.

So the University sponsored a study of whether or not the original researh was biased.

Naturally they assigned this latter bit of objective justice to the same two professors.

After long and paid effort, they concluded they had been totally objective.

A lot of media announced that professional academics are ever more dominated by self-professed “Marxists.”

They make it sound like Marxist doesn’t mean much.

Marx stated that “the truth is a bourgeois concept.”

In short, a Marxist is prohibited from doing any research that is legal under American tax law.

Marxists declare that “Everything is political.”

To Marxists, objectivity is immoral.

Just to make it clear, we’re talking prison sentences here, gang!
