Michael Shermer, a prominent author and science historian, has voiced concerns over what he describes as academia's current state of 'postmodern woke delusion.'
Shermer argues that academia is engulfed in nonsensical research practices that hinder innovation and clear thinking. He supports efforts to publicly expose such research in hopes that it will prompt a course correction within academic circles.
Shermer's critique of academic culture aligns with his broader skepticism toward prevailing social narratives, as demonstrated by his examination of the tension between public discourse and individual rights in the context of the UK's arrest over a social media post. His commitment to rigorous standards of evidence is further underscored in his analysis of the scrutiny surrounding claims of new species, reflecting an ongoing advocacy for critical inquiry across scientific and social domains.
