priestly caste

Psychological Reports retracts Rushton's (1990) and (1991) replies to Cernovsky for being "unethical, scientifically flawed, and based on racist ideas and agenda." So now people are supposed to read only Cernovsky's side of the exchange arguing for the politically correct view.

From now on scientific debates about controversial topics will be like Church-sponsored debates in the Middle Ages, where critics of the Church weren't allowed to say anything "heretical."

Which is fitting, given that academics are becoming a priestly caste who are hired largely based on their faith in, and skill in promoting, the woke catechism. - @nathancofnas
