Left and right are so demonized these days they no longer make sensible labels. The left sees everything as a struggle between victim and oppressor. The right sees everything between the civilized and the barbarian. The libertarian sees everything between freedom and control.
The best position for us to have is one from all sides.
I was replying to AmiMojo. You and me are leftists. AmiMojo belongs to a group called Progressives, which is hell-bent on making commonsense people vote Trump.
Try publishing in JACM, or Journal of Alagorithms, SODA, FOCS, STOC, Stacs, or the other 100 reputable venues. Don't use some money-making scammy CS venue to compare with what Boghossian did... They made it to the top ten journals in Grievance Studies.
You are the mistaken one. Having lived with these cultures, I actually sort of appreciate them.
However, I have friends from these cultures who have expressed frustration with their own cultures. To them, America is their refuge. The last frontier for the OPEN and FREE.
These people, myself included, would be very disappointed if America stops being open and free. For one, the world would become less DIVERSE.
Already happened for about 10 years. But 1. Not all lemmings could handle the math 2. Not all schools want to admit all the lemmings 3. Like accountants, lawyers and doctors, the field is well-protected through the certifying organizations.
History will help you understand what originally prompted Popper to say those things. There was a need to counter the Muhamedians, a sentiment that was also found in Russell's thoughts. Contrast Popper with Wittgenstein, and you will better see what Popper was trying to arrive at. (Hint: not postmodernism)
Only enrolment in Gender Studies remained stable. No surprise there. They cry the loudest to get "diversity programme" running. There are lucrative (although parasitic) jobs for that segment.
Can someone please mod this up? I can confirm that this is a common practice by many today... but who can blame them? The only lesson is that citation count is no longer trustworthy. Also, Google Scholar now counts blog posts as papers, and web links as citations.
(I have mod points but can't moderate since I have coomented on this article)
In theoretical CS, (except for the results that are immediately applicable to specific field), many papers are first cited 5~6 years after their publication. Reasons: 1. Theory is hard. Few can do. 2. Breakthroughs are hard to come by.
Many have responded to your comment but no a single one of them took note of the most crucial point of your lament.
Academic science, at least in the biomedical sciences, is falling apart due a variety of problems: ponzi schemes with doctoral and postdoctoral training
What you have now is an oversupply of very talented researchers
Even "algorithm" is incorrect in this case. The current state of the art depends a lot on data quality, model architecture, and hyperparameters. As an algorithmist, I shudder to call such things algorithm.
No. Stupid Americans are arguing about 56 genders and how to bring down the patriarchy. Incidentally, race does not exist (except for the blacks and Muslims, who are awesome cool and must not be discussed) and hence the Chinese race does not exist, hence, nothing to worry about.
Neural nets have made vision and speech, which was previously close to impossible, easy. Vision and speech is the revolution that they are anticipating. Also, GAN. The AlphaGo and friends are not pure neural nets - they are neural nets PLUS ensembles and boosting and stuffs that just got faster thanks to GPU.

Things have never been the same since postmodernism took over. Philosophy used to be all logic and epistemology. Now it's all "mah feels".
And I bet they will grant him the permission... Not!
If you can't tell how ridiculous is the experimental setup in the dog park paper, you do not possess the mental capacity to teach in a university.

He's a leftist. I am a leftist. You are not.
I would like to add that they were caught by New Real Peer Review, another famous watchdog that catches outrageous Greviance Studies "research".

Americans. Do you all want to become like the Germans? Or the Japanese? Because that's what you will become if you go down this path.
These are cultures where nobody dares to speak honestly, and everybody becomes over-sensitive about what the other person ACTUALLY thinks about them.

Aha! But there is no objective reality. Everything is a social construct. It's all in your mind. (Gotcha)
Nothing. Just that I have been seeing pretentious postmodernists citing Popper to defend Antifa. Thought you might be one of those nutcases.

What about your tolerance of Muslim's anti-semitism, women oppression and killing of apostates and gays?
Tanking enrolment means less profit for the university.

Problem is that they have the citation counts... because there are so many of them citing each other's trivial results.

Only researchers know.
People who use CRISPR to cure a cancerous disease probably wouldn't mind an increased chance in the edited cells to turn cancerous.
