Has there ever been a scientist, who fucked up science so badly as Lysenko?
>Be soviet scientist
>Think Lamarck is much better than Darwin
>Start your research
>Lolhowdoiscientificstandard.jpg
>Publish your findings anyway because "They fit into socialism and they are an alternative to western science"
>Use your connections to politics to bully other scientists into your method
>Have them prosecuted when they disagree
>Essentially make Russian science worthless for almost 25 until you

He would have been harmless in any other country. He only became influential because Stalin thought his ideas sounded good, and made them mandatory.

The sad thing is Lysenko wasn't alone among Soviet scientists that published absolute garbage.

"At various times pronounced "bourgeois pseudosciences" were: genetics,[notes 1] cybernetics, sociology, semiotics, and comparative linguistics.[notes 2]"
Henry Perry
people like this will always exist, but they don't usually have uncle Joe to enable them
Dylan Brown
Lysenko has been largely vindicated.
Easton Davis
That Roman guy who slew Archimedes.
Ian Walker
No, epigenetics has not come close to vindicating Lysenko.
Carter Gutierrez
People shit on the Catholic Church all time, but the victims of Lysenkoism such as Nikolai Vavilov have never been considered "martyrs" of science.
This is the power of cultural hegemony.
Hunter Sanders
One day, we will look upon political correctness and its impact on climate science, economics, psychology, sociology, etc., as more subtle but equally cancerous version of Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union. The only difference is that not even the "superstar scientists", like could criticize the status quo and escape with their reputation intact. At least Stalin's didn't dare touch his nuclear physicists, but today's "postmodernism", for a lack of a better word, has inspired people to lose all sense of the sacred, overcoming the boundaries that prevent us from destroying our heroes or committing moral transgressions.
>inb4 modern-day leftists aren't poststructuralists because muh no true Scotsman argument, that postmodernism is a buzzword, and I'm doing Derrida, Foucault, Butler, et al. a disservice.
I don't fucking care. We all know the kind of people and their ideology that I'm referring to, and they all brag about how they read poststructuralists, so I'm going to call them by what they identify as for convenience.
Austin Nelson
*correction* The only difference is that not even the "superstar scientists", like James Watson, could criticize the status quo and escape with their reputation intact.

Evan Thompson
Bullshit. Rightwingers often whine about bias of academia but it pretty much always turns out they are the one who can't handle both their beliefs and results of research

It's one recurring thread in a board dude, calm down.
Wyatt Jones
Lefties still screech "pseudoscience!" at facts they dislike, it's just an instinct with them. Somebody taught them a neat word for bad science and now they use it whenever science makes their submissive cocks hard
Robert Butler
Look at all these bigots ITT
Here, have the opinion of a TRUE scientist
Daniel White
They generally don't.
