Our universities have been taken over by bullshit. HERE
Academics are supposed to have a duty to pursue the beauty of truth and expose the ugliness of lies.
It matters not how beautiful the the theory is that Darwin and Wallace had independent conceptions of Patrick Matthew's prior published theory, It matters not how convenient the newly created tale that Darwin and Matthew, Wallace and "Royal Society Darwin Medal" winners Ernst Mayer and Sir Gavin de Beer were wrong to write that Matthew's theory is essentially the same as that replicated by Darwin and Wallace. If the theory and the tale and don't fit the data then they are wrong. And they most certainly don't fit the empirical independently verifiable new found data (Sutton 2022).
Today our universities prefer mere blind belief in the romance and the lies over the truth. Why? Because they have adopted the practices of business, and one of the first essential rules of a successful business is to lie (here) and tell stories to sell products to make profits and to make money making transactional deals.
