100%. my home field is science & technology studies. we are generally never called upon for our insights or expertise in instaces where, say, a critique would lead to a company being told not to do something they want to do and that is profitable. they instead go an ethics-washing route

Check for an association with this guy https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Eliezer_Yudkowsky

yuuupppp. gross. this really got to me:

"we have a choice between remaining silent or engaging in debate. ... we are compelled to address them in academic publications and other texts. As a result, we have less time for our own research.. We are forced to engage with research of questionable quality that has not previously been part of our core expertise and has already been thoroughly refuted by others..."

these tedious, worthless shits

I hope so too.
At the moment he got a whole page in the WSJ as the victim of the rightful anger about Arday's death. Don't remember if he wrote it himself or someone else did. 😞

@inquiline I'd found myself wondering, "Have you motherfuckers even heard of Wittgenstein?"

This explains a lot.
