What universities were supposed to be. Before ideology captured them. Truth-seeking restored.
Top minds. Cancelled for truth-telling. Now doing best work of careers. Free inquiry enables breakthrough research.
Your first faculty meeting. No land acknowledgment. No DEI statement. Just: "What are you researching?"
You present: "Continuing meta-analysis of sex differences. Expanding to cross-cultural validation."
Colleagues' reaction: "Fascinating. What sample sizes?" NOT "That's problematic."
You're doing SCIENCE again. Real questions. Real methods. Real findings. No ideology filter.
Papers published this year:
• "Sex Differences in Spatial Cognition: Cross-Cultural Meta-Analysis" (N=3.2M)
• "Evolutionary Origins of Cognitive Sexual Dimorphism"
• "Gender Paradox: Why Equal Societies Show Larger Personality Differences"
All would have been IMPOSSIBLE at old university. All TRUE. All published.
From censorship to truth-seeking. From ideology-compliance to scientific freedom. This is academic fulfillment.
Two years at UATx.
Most productive period of my career.
7 papers published. 0 censored. 0 "sensitivity training." 0 ideology compliance.
I research what's TRUE. Not what's politically correct. My findings challenge blank-slate ideology. That's GOOD. Science advances through challenging orthodoxy.
My graduate students: They came here to do REAL SCIENCE. Not woke "research." They're brilliant. Unafraid. Truth-seeking.
From cancelled to flourishing. From censorship to freedom. From zombie career to best work of life. This is what universities were supposed to be.
From cancellation
To truth-seeking restored
To academic freedom
