|content=Many elite PhDs are produced only to be slaughtered. They are given a brutal choice: join the consensus or perish. 

Publish or Perish is downstream of the real problem: 

Self-Censor to Join or Die.

The top priority of fixing our elite universities is this: ending consensus, peer review and affirmative action for elite researchers who were nevertheless too weak to stand against their fields and the artificial consensus that hangs like a miasma over academe since the late 1960s-early 1970s. 

We need iconoclasts like  @DrJBhattacharya, @MartinKulldorff, @matloff, @BretWeinstein, @skdh, @notevenwrong (Peter Woit), etc and many others you have never heard of who have been fringified in chaired secure positions as academics as they stood up. 

I know that is brutal. I’m sorry. But we stopped housing our best people in favor of those weak enough to waste their lives on incremental or imaginary science.

THE problem devitalizing STEM is consensus. Make the elite dissenters financially, legally, reputationaly and physically secure, and you will never have another COVID, great Financial Crisis or other policy mediated mass delusion again with academic groupthink as its midwife.

|content=So many important points here, yet the main problem in American top 10 research universities is not mentioned.

It’s time to talk about it:

A) Artificial &amp; Coerced Elite STEM Consenus

B) Fringification of elite STEM critics &amp; dissenters by consenus actors

|content=As difficult as this is to swallow, the truth is this: the main Bunko artists are often the “Debunkers”. Those Prebunked are often the intellectual leaders of the field. 

This is what brought you COVID origin coverups. 

This is why your CPI inflation gauge doesn’t reflect your family’s pain
and why your weather map is a rich field but your inflation is somehow a floating point number shared with people who don’t remotely face your situation. 

This is why you couldn’t question vaccine safety without becoming a pariah or mention that public health is not science. 

This is why your food is making you sick but you had a food pyramid for years.

This is why String Theory has castrated theoretical physics and the Lagrangian of the universe is stuck in 1973 with Tony Orlando and Dawn.

This is why climate science is dominated by consensus participation rather than cloud modeling confidence discussions. 

This is why Peer Review and is a third rail that can’t be questioned or our culpability in Aaron Swartz’s prosecution and suicide.

This is why merely asking about confidence bars  in Building 7 collapse analysis is cause for professional destruction.

This is why Economists destroy those who question Ricardian equivalence, Compartive advantage the Boskin commission malpractice,  the doctrine of given unchanging wants, [[Cardinal Utility|cardinal utility]] implication for social welfare, NAFTA impact, etc.

This is why you couldn’t question biological gametes no longer being the dominant feature of gender under woke stewardship of Nature.

This is why sociobiology applied to humans was destroyed by Marxists. 

This is why we can’t discuss heritability of intelligence as almost certainly a direct consequence of selection. 

This is why journalists are taught not to report the news under “Strategic Silence” and style guides.

This is why our top STEM geniuses couldn’t enter our Top Universities and admissions tests were made optional while plagiarists became presidents who sat on their hands as Jewish students were physically driven from free movement on campuses accused of being genocidal by terrorist supporters. 

The problem is Consensus of the weak. 

The debunkers are often the bunkos. 

The fringifiers are the intellectual fringe.
