"I have seen the heart of man, and it is craven."

@razibkhan complains that scientists all bend the knee and say whatever the Wokes want them to say, even if it is scientifically incorrect, because they are fundamentally selfish cowards. https://www.gnxp.com/WordPress/2020/12/18/being-right-being-agreeable-being-nice/

The example given is of Neil Risch.

Over a 9 year period he went from saying that racial self-categorizations correlate well with genomic data so race is a scientifically valid construct, to saying that everything is fluffy and speculative and you can believe whatever you prefer

"You're not allowed to believe in group differences until you can identify all the specific genes that cause them"

.. is like saying you're not allowed to build an airplane until you can solve the Schrodinger Equation for all the air molecules flowing around a wing.

Technically you cannot mathematically prove that an airplane will fly unless you can solve the Schrodinger Equation in 10^27 variables.

And if you lived in a society where heavier than air flight was considered sinful that would be a very useful fallback position for an aeronautical engineer.

Is it technically correct? Yes.

Is it intellectually honest? No.

Any science other than mathematics has some leeway for hiding the truth, because you can always hypothesize that some complicated effect that you can't currently model is changing things.

Occam's Razor is a necessary tool for science, and when science contradicts dogma, the solution is to make some epicycles that satisfy the priest class and lend their lies some plausible deniability.

What are scientists supposed to do about this?

In my opinion, scientists alone cannot fix this. Sorry. You cannot successfully assault The Cathedral by only attacking one wall. Woke Science is only one part of The Cathedral. https://twitter.com/StruanCurtis/status/1340767442042298369
