[Platt] Platt says bias is not unknown among those who claim objectivity, including the Academy.
[Arlo] Scholarly publication is a system designed to filter out an individual's bias. Its not a perfect system, but over time it appears to work. I'm not sure what an alternative would be. Suggestions? [Platt] A reasonable accurate description of the "Academy" as represented in the liberal arts segment of today's universities. One need only recall the uproar at Harvard at the former president's remarks about women to understand that P.C. rules the day among the self-proclaimed body of intellectual elites. [Arlo] If we can't trust The Academy, and I assume you mean in its entirety since even a study on social psychology is immediately dismissed as biased, who can we trust? I don't agree with everything that comes out of the Academy, but I am reasonably certain that it is the best place to go to gather information. What would you suggest instead? moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
