If you haven’t read it yet I hugely recommend a read of Suzy Weiss’ article on David Sabatini. He’s a brilliant cancer researcher who was hounded out of his position by the “usual mob”. Read it and see if, like me, you can’t avoid thinking of the old cliché “Hell hath no fury . . .”
I strongly support the demand that only the exp() function should be integrated until all the other functions have learned how to properly integrate. Can you believe that cos() culturally appropriates sin() when it is integrated?
I met my wife at university, and among our friends there are many couples where it worked the same way. Of course there were some excesses (a professor drinking too much at a party and kind of becoming too interested in certain female students, research assistants keeping a mattress in their office because it might come in handy, things like that) but that became part of the folklore. And this was *mathematics*, and in *Germany*.
I read Bari's column yesterday, and while it's a no brainer that getting involved with a cowrker is a bad idea Sabatini wasn't actually a coworker, nor a subordinate. They worked in different fields in the same building. There was a significant age difference, but the woman was an accomplished adult in her own field.
But the real problem is one created by the absolutely ridiculous proposition that men and women are "equal." Now I believe men and women are entitled to the same exact "Rights" the reality is men and women are different in significant ways. One way that comes into play here is that women tend to become more emotionally involved than men. That is a factual evolutionary trait. And based upon the text messages and other communications it seems clear they both agreed to keep it casual, but she became emotionally involved and couldn't let go. So she punished him.
It also helps that Bari (a left/liberal woman) who has seen all of the evidence is a trustworthy with source and has demonstrated a principled dedication to actual journalism.
The big push in the US for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion above all else is extremely divisive, ironically, and that's the point. Divide people into groups and have them duke it out over prime positions in a collapsing economy.
With Western history being castigated as being nothing more than the exploits of white exploiters, Western man is being severed from his roots. Deracinate, Atomize, and Rule Over is Davos Man's update on the old adage of Divide and Conquer.
All of this seemingly absurd nonsense has a purpose: existing systems need to be toppled so that a new one (hey, they've even came up with a name: New World Order) can come about.
I remember watching a TV show back in the early 80s. It was a Sci-Fi type show, maybe one of the remakes of "The Twilight Zone." There was a family, regular sexes, Mom, Dad, and son. The Government gave all children tests to assess their intelligence. The little boy was bright, the parents were proud, but apprehensive about his intelligence. The little boy scored quite high on his test. He was ecstatic and very proud of himself. The parents were scared to death and crying. An agent of the Government came to visit their home, because of their son's high score. He came to take their son from them, because he was too smart, and the Government couldn't have that. --- Is this predictive of what is to come? You know THEY do not want bright people. You can't rule them as easily.
Ah, yes, I also immediately though "hell hath no fury..." But you know what? It's also possible the woman concerned TRULY feels like her actions are legitimate. Just as the trans movement has convinced pubescent teens that this confusing time in their lives is proof that they are in fact in the "wrong body," the #metoo movement led many women to re-evaluate neutral (or even pleasurable) moments in their past and develop negative feelings about them and beliefs that somehow someone else is responsible for the choices they made (even as adults).
It’s kooky out there. Are all the sciences getting woke like this? How’s the good ol boy field of petroleum engineering or geology? I just took my preschoolers to a gem mineral and fossil show and we had a great time looking at the specimens. Still kinda hoping my kids grow up to be midwives or plumbers or electricians
I had a high school chemistry teacher like yours. He was an ex-Marine and looked the part, while I was a hippy kid with long hair and bell-bottom pants. But Mr. Hitz was awesome, had a fine sense of humor, was a great teacher, and I still use his super-clear method of doing unit conversion on a regular basis.

Made me laugh out loud, thank you!
Well-ranted.

Maybe it has to do with the "cosmic cretinism" Medvedev was talking about
