IT'S IN THE DNA, MY DEAR WATSON!

IT'S IN THE DNA, 

MY DEAR WATSON!

The above picture is worth a thousand words.

There is a problem, though.

It is NOT "politically correct!"

Being politically correct means that your point of view is dictated by the "powers that be," whether this be academia, government, industry or any other. 

Ninety-year old Nobel Prize Winning scientist James Watson (the discoverer of DNA) has been deprived of his many awards and achievements for saying the wrong things. If you want to know what sort of vermin rules over you, all that needs be done is that you understand what YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY!

From RT (Russia Today) comes the following story:

Ninety-year-old Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson has been stripped of his honorary titles by a leading American research institution, after doubling down on his controversial conclusions linking race and intelligence.
Despite nearly half a century service to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), Watson, a world-renowned geneticist, lost all of his honorary titles of Chancellor Emeritus, Oliver R. Grace Professor Emeritus and Honorary Trustee, for refusing to retract his own scientific conclusions.
In 2007, Watson was suspended from all of his positions held at the New York lab following a scandal centering around his claim about the “inherently gloomy” future of the African continent. “All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really,” he told the Times newspaper at the time.

While having initially issued an apology for his comments, allowing him to maintain his honorary titles at the CSHL, when asked more than a decade later whether his views about race and intelligence have changed, he told the PBS documentary they haven’t.
“Not at all. I would like for them to have changed, that there be new knowledge that says that your nurture is much more important than nature,” the scientist was quoted as saying in a recently previewed PBS documentary, titled American Masters: Decoding Watson. “There’s a difference on the average between blacks and whites on IQ tests. I would say the difference is, it’s genetic.”

If you work in industry, the press, the government or the school system, just remember that if you harbor views not on the "Ministry of Truth's" list of "approved comments," you will lose your job, your titles, your awards and even your life..

So, in other words, awards are only given conditionally. If you "screw up" along the way, any achievements you may have made are null and void.

Welcome to the GULAG, folks!

Enjoy it!
