It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

They're mostly getting dunked on, but they're wriggling around all over the thread raging about science being made "political."

i find it very difficult to take a field seriously when the most famous professor in it is lobster man

It's almost sad to see people get so far in academic careers but still hold onto their biases and prejudices like security blankets. I get it that EVERYONE has sacred cow beliefs, but Jordan Peterson should in theory know better than to let his ideals born out of wishful thinking get in the way of reality.

He suppresses rational thought with cocktails of prescription drugs and red meat

He's not a climatologist either but he regularly states his very learned expert opinion on climate change. grillman

i was talking about evo psych

Look I don't want to be too much of a STEMlord but something you'll notice about a lot of these supremely cringe evopsych PhDs is that they have quite a bit more time with the psych part and a lot less with the evo part

(Okay maybe there are some cringe as fuck Evo types too but the first people I ever heard laughing in public at Pee Pee Jordanson videos were some evolutionary biology grads so I want to believe they are above this shit)

90% of the pushback i've ever seen on evopsych comes from actual biologists and the other 10% came from science communicators who are friends with biologists

For a bad time, look up Dr. Professor Jordan S. Peterson MD. PhD Esquire's takes on climate change. dead-dove-1
