It is even worse than Maroja's fine article describes. Research funding is becoming highly ideological and identity-based in even the hardest sciences. Proposals receiving the highest evaluations of merit are mysteriously not funded. Incompetent if not outright fraudulent social science research is funded.

Researchers have to comply with ideological statements which they dare not challenge. Examples have been made of others. One's career and income are very much at stake and it is overt. The fangs have been bared.

It is encouraging to see a group of scientists standing up against this. Many more secretly support it, and are silent out of fear now.
