USG attacking top research institutions Anonymous 04/23/2025 (Wed) 17:36:31 Id: 658b10 No. 36528
How can the US hope to prevail in a cold war with China if the US wrecks its own research institutions? Harvard is the only US institution still in the Nature Index top 15, and they're now getting attacked by the federal government from multiple directions
>>36528 >money-sink institutions being good >ranking >Chinese results being accurate in any way Our "research institutions" have been blowing smoke up everyone's ass for decades. They're not being attacked, they're being made to produce actual results If you paid any attention to academia, you'd have seen this coming years ago and been demanding something be done to correct this before we got where we are.
>>36560 >ranking >Chinese results being accurate in any way The Nature Index is based on research papers published in reputable peer-reviewed journals in natural and medical science >They're not being attacked, they're being made to produce actual results The USG has been blanket canceling grants and contracts for universities that won't bend the knee. They've lowered the limit on the fraction of NIH grants that can be spent on indirect costs, which effectively is a ban on capital-intensive research. I don't see how this is about "producing actual results"; they're essentially carpet bombing research institutions
>>36581 >The Nature Index is based on research papers published in reputable peer-reviewed journals in natural and medical science >published papers >reputable >peer-reviewed So all the same shit that told me all the "facts" about covid? Cool, guess I'm done here.

>>36560 its odd timing that these universities have been able to get away with this behavior for decades now, but as soon as they start protesting the jews, all of a sudden sweeping reforms are being made very non noticeable I wont notice anything man I'm tired I might go take a nap *yawm*
>>36607 I don't think the anti-Israel protests are the main reason. I think "antisemitism" just an excuse that Trump is using because he thinks his voters will accept it. I think Trump's real motivation is to browbeat universities into instilling students with MAGA ideology. We could see in the letter that the USG sent to Harvard, that they want to create 50 hoops for Harvard to jump through in order to restore funding. Judges appointed by the USG would have the right to arbitrarily judge whether Harvard had passed any given hoop or not. We could also see that the USG wanted more "viewpoint diversity", which seems like code for more MAGA ideology.
>>36623 >Judges Perhaps "referee" would be a better word

>>36581 >reputable peer-reviewed journals Lmao, you mean political rags
>>36607 Okay, I guess I'm not quite done here. Nah, the "anti-semitism" is fucking hilarious because it's all Jews running those places anyway. Using the excuse of going after anti-semitism means even the Jewish institutions, media, and government end up tripping over themselves trying fight it. Going after Jews for anti-semitism is either the best new meme, or Trump really is playing 5D chess and that meme isn't a meme at all. Either way I'm for it
>>36627 >>36623 >Shill already acting like brownbeating universities to be fucking pro-White is a "bad thing". Fuck you kike
>>36851 Don't be an idiot We don't want pro-white any more than pro-diversity, at least not exclusively so. Universities should teach people to study and learn, and give them tools to do so, not indoctrinate anyone into what's currently trendy. Following the MAGA party is as dumb as following any other, and I say that while still wanting the MAGA goal. No I don't think any of this is to replace leftist indoctrination with Trump indoctrination. All I see right now is moves to remove leftist indoctrination within these institutions. I'm keeping my eye on the pro-Israel shit, because that's the sketchiest part of anything Trump is doing. But I'm holding my breath on that for now as there are a number of moves that seem contrary to Trump being in Jewish pockets, and I try not to make knee jerk assumptions.
Trust me bros it's got nothing to do with Israel. Ignore all the Israel flags in the White House and in the Capitol that weren't there prior to the Oct 7th. Do not pay attention to the language the Trump Administration wishes to control. It has nothing to do with preventing criticism of the Israeli State and it's incredibly unpopular actions in the Middle East. You will learn to love Trump and Israel. Israel only wants what's best for Americans. So please direct your 2 minutes of hate towards Israel's enemies: Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Egypt.
>>36581 Nobody wanted to give a million dollars of public money for people to "research the effect of cocaine" on "rats" go fuck yourself. The chinks are full of cloned, stolen, and bullshit too. Go fuck yourself nigger.
>>36602 You're so dumb holy shit.
