Do they share one master's degree between themselves?

One has to admire the teeth-gritting determination of people in this particular worldview to ignore reality at all costs. Perhaps Carlos could take the topic on in "their" next "sage" article; I'm sure there is much to explore here.

Carlos apparently calls himself (or herself, whatever) "they."

This is all so numbingly stupid. Alas, it's consequential: this stuff actually matters. But it's so, so stupid.

I'm not sure who's more worthy of derision, the climate change mob or "academics" like this. Unfortunately what happens in the academy, no matter how unhinged, frequently makes it's way into society. Our cultural/societal immune system has broken down; in a sane world these ideas would not just be laughed at but would never be acknowledged in the first place, much less be taken seriously.

I think it is more than junk, such "research" is the absurdity Voltaire warned us about.

I could have happily finished my life without ever knowing or hearing or reading any of this

I hope Carlo is minoring in burger-flipping.

As long as there's a payoff for high-sounding dreck, it will be piled higher and deeper. Nothing about this collection of random buzzwords and buzzphrases is even remotely real, so this Carlos can be a respected theoretician. Until now, the field, whatever that is, lacked this essential something.

LOL! It's sociology, not a real science!! This "doll maker" is just spouting the usual transgender blather that is infecting most universities.

Remember: Yale is where former "psychologist" Bandy X. Lee decided to remotely (unethically) "diagnose" President Trump, claiming he was "psychologically dangerous," while refusing to do the same for Biden.

Yale is pumping out fools.

When it is Yale's time to lose Federal funding, at least there are so no-brainer cuts available for the administrators to act on.

Are elite administrators this oblivious to what is deemed scholarship at their institutions? Are they afraid to step in and redirect resources to other fields? Or do they consciously believe this is truly useful?

Carlo is a they. Is he also a she? I think she is.

What a waste of bytes.
