Academic activism is eating away at scientific publishing
It is fashionable today to claim to be a scientist, or even to claim to be the bearer of an alternative science by adopting a "point of view" that one would have sought in some noble cause to defend. What was most often only media confusion when the "word" of each person is reported only to himself, has become a deleterious threat very present in the scientific disciplines themselves. The sciences of the "social" are particularly exposed to it, but they are not the only ones since mathematics, from now on, should be filtered with regard to the "race", the "gender" or the "world" of their developers. As far-fetched as this last proposal may seem to the majority, the equivalent proposal for the sciences of society and culture, it, receives substantial support, including from some of its representatives. This is because the boundary between social science and opinion on society, a boundary which has never been, like any boundary, absolutely watertight, is increasingly being deserted by its "guards", those whose mission in light of the rules in force among scientists is to declare the importation of the product or its producer legitimate.
