So what's your thoughts on lysenkoism then? He had education in relevant fields. He was wrong and ultimately unscientific as fuck. But that didn't matter. Because Stalin liked what he said over his teacher Vavilov. Vavilov was later vindicated. After he was run out of his university.
I'd like to tell you that was the worst of it. That was not the worst of it. He was sent to a Bolshevik gulag where he spent the rest of his life. Like millions of other victims of the Soviets. I'd like to tell you he still lived to a ripe old age. He did not he suffered and died early from the abuse and neglect the gulags were designed for. As millions of other victims of the Bolsheviks did.
His only crime was being correct and disagreeing with authority. Does that sound like something anyone should be rushing to emulate again, or still.
Idk sounds bad, don’t know anything about it really. I don’t see how limiting online speculation/teaching of academic topics to academics is equivalent to that. What does it have to do with my comment? I was just correcting the other commenter on details.
What are you talking about? No one is saying having a university degree makes you qualified for anything. Sounds like they’re just weeding out the fakes.

It says relevant university degree so I don’t think that would be the case
