The physical sciences have reality on their side, but they are losing credibility in the current academic environment.

Universities have gained credibility from hard sciences, but this has led to the corruption of science itself, particularly in social sciences.

Many biologists feel pressured to conform to politically correct narratives, which can compromise scientific integrity.

Highly educated individuals in technology often lean left, which is reflected in the political climate of universities.

The left has seemingly won the culture war, and the current climate feels like a pursuit of eliminating the remaining opposition, but the culture war is not over; while earlier rounds were won by certain groups, the current landscape is more balanced with influential figures like Elon Musk emerging to challenge the status quo.

The elite institutions, including universities, are facing a crisis of legitimacy as they struggle to adapt to the changing beliefs of the populace, leading to internal conflicts about their direction.

People will look back and realize that the current state of biology was in the dark ages, and we need more extreme experimentation to advance.

We have a unifying theory for biology, which is evolution, that influences all levels of biological organization, from ecosystems to individual molecules.

I'm very concerned about the future of science in this country. There's a split down the middle, and we need to take a hard look at ourselves and explore things properly.
