okay so every now and again you come across one of those videos that make you completely lose faith in mankind because universities are men a foster the knowledge of mankind and pass it on to the next generation and when you're getting this sort of crap in universities so if you disagree with her approach it means that you have vested in the Western in your eccentric way of understanding which means you yourself still need to go back internally decolonize your mind so decolonizing the science would mean doing away with it entirely and start see what operatives I mean with that level of stupidity in universities what sort of future can there be for mankind yep she wants to abolish all of that totalizing Western science or as we call it in the West science and what's the first thing the very first thing our precious little black snowflake does after she says that she wants to abolish these totalizing colonial izing Western science she picks up her tablet the very apex of her very science she was just bad-mouthing and swipes her device to start browsing so let's take this one more time from the top our heroic social justice warrior in her safe space at Cape Town University wants to decriminalize whatever that might mean science the science is true because of science and you know what can you do if I personally were committed to enforcing decolonization science as a whole is a product of risking modernity and the whole thing should be strategic Cape Town University but let me just let you in a little secret modern civilization is a monument to science it's that simple it's a monument to scientific advance I mean I think he might be a little confused about what science is science is the endeavor of building models with predictive utility about reality the fact that they have predictive utility is what and verifies them as an accurate description of reality and ease that understanding of reality that allows us to build everything from smartphones to spacecraft science really doesn't depend on your perspective it only cares about what the models you proposed have predictive capability or they don't whose concepts are valid no matter where they originate it doesn't matter if the person has black skin or white skin whether they're a boy or a girl whether they consider themselves of African origin or not the concept is valid no matter where it originated science just doesn't care where the idea comes from it only cares if it is an accurate description of reality oh no please don't say that black magic is going to be the new African science you are able to send lightning to strike someone so can you explain that scientifically because it's something that happens what happens next just needs to be seen to be believed okay for those who missed it that was the guy putting up his hand and saying actually you know that thing about you know people being able to curse people and get lightning to strike them it's not true this was their response the fact that it's not true is irrelevant for African science for decolonial iced science and here is new African science kill absolutely overjoyed someone doesn't believe her African science about being able to curse people and get the lightning to strike them let's see how the moderator tackles that shall we by using that you're disrespecting the sacredness of your space I'd like to ask you to first please apologize to the panel to understand the rules and so what you're trying to do is actually I don't think he was trying to a collapse the space I think he was trying to bring some reality to it look if there was actually a African science and get lightning to strike them like really the science faculty why do we not find that surprising totalizing I think you misunderstand science is about building accurate models about reality models with predictive capability I think were directly complaining about is not that it's totalizing but that it's accurate if you base the design of planes on science they fly if you base to the design of rockets on sides they reach the moon it works bitches you know valid you know maybe like you to believe that say for instance how I know witchcraft isn't it seeing that it was you turning money you to renew or sign up metal falling and then I was no it decided that gravity existed and created an equation and then it's for the risk where the people you Newton or not or whether whatever happens in western Africa morganatic hey yes that's right a model with predictive capability is a successful one one that describes reality so for instance Newton's equations to give a fairly reasonable description of gravity and we know that it's a good model because it works just as well in Africa as it does say for instance in Europe or on the moon or on the Sun all for the galaxy yes whose laws do give a fairly reasonable description of reality so we've been what energy is the problem that decolonization directly deals with to say that the other in to decolonize by having knowledge that is produced by us that speaks to us and that is image are coming gates knowledge from our perspective so you're gonna start a new subject of african science which is going to have witchcraft where you can summon lightning bolts to straight people but there is no gravity beautiful and this is the product of Cape Town University so if you think that you disagree with her approach it means that you have vested in the West and in unison should wave understand which means you yourself still need to go back internally decolonize your mind yes you've got to go back and Dean loony lies your mind horrible stuff about trying to form predictive models of utility about reality yeah well a predictive stuff you've got to get rid of that if you want to study decolonial eyes science we can do more as from your knowledge producers as people who are given the ability to reason whatever is better yes you're about to be given the pearls of wisdom someone who thinks that say for instance voodoo should be included real science this may well be and now I know some of you out there will be thinking Thunderfoot we need to be more open-minded about these sort of things like say for instance zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe I'll let potholer 54 explain President Robert Mugabe gave us this insight into Zimbabwean politics when he believed a woman who said she could conjure diesel from a rock in 2007 he dispatched three nicely dressed government ministers to witness a demonstration and sure enough they reported that it was all true as you can imagine crude oil better yet refined diesel losing out of a rock would be the answer to Zimbabwe fuel shortage so according to press reports Mugabe gave the woman a million dollars to conjure up even more diesel from other rocks now there are two possibilities here either this is a magical process that could turn zimbabwe into a net exporter of diesel fuel for the whole continent is the problem to say that we are going to decolonize by having knowledge that is produced by us that speaks to us and that is able to accommodates knowledge from our perspective or it could be an elaborate hoax with a hole drilled into a rock meeting - a pump and a tank of diesel it's a toss-up hard to say either way okay turned out it was a tank of diesel being pumped through a man-made hole but it could have been the answer to Zimbabwe's fuel shortage but for those who want to cut them a break and say well sure okay they're into it but as science denialism but it's not like that ever hurt anyone or anything is it you see when you ask the question does HIV cause AIDS the question is does a virus cause a syndrome don't damage South African president Thabo Mbeki ha with this statement and BAE he took charge of a government that promoted herbal remedies to treat people with AIDS the promoted herbal remedies to treat people with AIDS instead of retrovirals that might have saved their lives well perhaps if you read a medical textbook or are someone who's published studies on the subject you'd find out a Harvard study concluded that the South African governments denial of the HIV AIDS link led to the deaths of over 300,000 people who didn't get the treatment they needed so decolonizing the science would mean doing away with it entirely and starting all over again to deal with how the response you engage in science denial that would kill millions before reaching for a product there's the very apex of the science you want to abolish I mean damn even for a social justice boy a special snowflake some pretty messed up shit

One of my friends from The States phoned me this morning asking if it's true, as the video ended up on his feed...

I legit felt embarrassed to say yes...

Well gosh darn, our SJWs have reached international standards. What a time to be alive.

Well, if science is racist, then so is her cell phone and computer so she had better stop using them.

I have already said my say in an earlier post, but I still feel so embarrassed. And the thing is she truly and utterly believe the rubbish her mind. Guys, this is our future right here. Our leaders are busy regressing our country. I am probably very wrong, but our country and Australia I think was very much on par regarding technology before apartheid, since apartheid I feel they have surpassed us by far. The reason being our leader's forward thinking. Also, colonial this and colonial that, but she grabs her phone to tweet, facebook, whatsapp, ALL colonial inventions. Sorry, but african science will never be able to compare. Shame, this is easiest the most stupidist (I know) woman and she thinks her exceptionally backwards culture has the right to prescribe modern science. Now the whole world think we in Africa are all this dumb.

It's not just embarrassing, it's deeply frightening and it's tragic. Because how many 'woke' people on campus would echo her sentiments to varying degrees?

It's terrifying to think someone would quash or advance scientific progress not because it is sound and can change the world for the better, but because it takes a certain cultural or racial framework. We hear calls like this - calls of so-called "academic justice" - more and more frequently, and yet how many people (like the person dissenting in the video) have the courage to tell the hive-mind masses that they're simply, utterly, unforgivably wrong?

Politicisation has no space in the academic project. Research and ideas should be based on merit, on validity, on reliability - not on identity and crass notions of popularism.

I think there should be a selection process before engaging in these meetings. A class representative selected by the teacher. Then the other students can just write their ideas down and have a private meeting with the class representative before the class representative goes to present their opinions.
This would avoid dumb remarks like this being made in public.

I'd also like to see this thing die out soon. Mostly because I'm tired of looking at her face. She's dumb, we get it. Plenty of dumb people in the world. Let's move on with our lives shall we? There's a point at which shaming dumb people turns from teasing to bullying.

As much as I think that girl is wrong, I can't help but feel sorry for her. She is becoming the laughing stock of South Africa (internet users at least). Can't imagine the psychological distress she must be going under.

Being ignorant and raised to believe certain things does not mean your life should be ruined because of it; however, I do think the arrogance and ego deserve a bit of a kick in the gonads.

All this is going to do is perpetuate her and others' belief that science is racist, because Western people are looking down on a black person and her culture.
