A Sign and a Portent: “Alternative Ways of Knowing”
by David Sims
A NATIONAL SCIENCE Foundation-funded study (in the amount of $513,000) scrutinized the manner in which three people — a non-White male, a non-White female, and a White female — organized to solve a physics problem.
The male undertook the task of doing most of the work himself, with the approval of the two females. The study “found” that “White supremacy” existed in the manner by which the non-White male’s focus was on getting the correct answer to the physics problem.
The supposed scientists conducting the study asserted that “alternative methods of knowing” (e.g. mysticism) practiced by non-White cultures were disregarded, such that only logic and mathematics were used for solving the problem.
That was where the “White supremacy” revealed itself: the drive to get the right answer through logic and mathematics. It would be better, because more “inclusive,” to give equal validity to mystical “alternative ways of knowing” what the answer was.
Well. Physics problems solved in the classroom are but preparation for solving physics problems needed for building a bridge that does not collapse and kill people. Try doing that with mysticism and see how it goes.
And suppose you were in a spaceship and your life depended on your finding the correct answer to a problem in celestial mechanics. In order to figure out which direction to fire your rockets, when to fire them, at what thrust, and for how long, so that your spaceship will enter the one and only transfer orbit that will rendezvous with a space station well supplied with air, water, and food, and do so before your on-board supplies of those things runs out, you had damned well better use the one and only right method, the method that these scientists say is “White supremacist,” or else you and your shipmates are going to die.
Here’s the “scientific” paper that cost us taxpayers over half a million dollars.
[When science, the cornerstone of our technological civilization, is abandoned, collapse becomes inevitable. That such an insane paper could be published in a scientific journal, slathered over with all the pretensions of the science it is destroying, is an ominous portent. — Ed.]

Here’s the “scientific” paper that cost us taxpayers over half a million dollars. — Whew! Talk about a “social construct.” This example is front and center. Our goal in this paper has been to “make whiteness visible,” in the tradition of Critical Whiteness Studies. In particular, we have sought to make visible how everyday physics classroom interactions reproduce whiteness as social organization, and how physics representations, values, and pedagogical tools play a role in this reproduction. That whiteness is “ordinary” in physics classrooms is not surprising, given critical race theory’s assertion that whiteness is endemic to every aspect of U.S. society. After slogging through enough of this “scientific paper” I’m left to wonder if Dr. Pierce, when he was advising graduate students in physics, would have advanced this PC trio or… Read more »
From beginning to end, this paper appears to be a pseudo-academic joke. I began to read it word-for-word at its beginning and I had to skim the rest to see if it continued to contain the anti-White absurdities that were present at the beginning; it did. These future “scientists” have wasted money, resources, and their own lives in pursuit of providing rationale for use in destroying the White race and disguising it as science. This is no joke; there is a malevolent sickness behind this, and it is very Semitic.
There have been instances of submissions to academic journals that were comprised of totally meaningless conglomeration of buzzwords designed to check the peer review process. Sadly, that is not the case here.
I looked up the backgrounds of the authors.
Amy D. Robertson has degrees in Physics including a PhD. However, she has little or no actual physics research experience. Her experience is exclusively on how to teach physics. I am reminded of the saying “Those who can’t, teach”. She seems to have racked up quite the frequent flyer points by going to conferences.
