Looking at the state of the world, and the global politics, I'd hope people of the future refer to our time as the "Intellectual Dark Ages"... Because frankly... It is.

In my own humble opinion, I find this indicative of a weakness within the academic system. It's very appealing for academics to "stand out" and "make a name" for themselves. And this is very hard to do if all you do is repeat findings that your predecessors have discovered before you. Therefore, a few academics will tread a dark path of trying to be controversial for the sake of controversy, in order to get "noticed". Academic history is rife with these people. And sadly, not all of them ended up being discredited for it.

@astarteswillum5259 Yes, that's another can of worms that is thoroughly corrupting and disreputing academia nowadays. Mostly within humanities. But it's beginning to infest STEM fields too.

@johnshite4656 Wrong. If you read my post correctly, you'd see that I refer to academics. As in people who do have credentials and training. I don't care about the actions of amateurs. So why are you bringing up a completely irrelevant group of people?

@johnshite4656 I know they don't. But if you read my post, you should see that I am very specific with my words. I'm not refering to lay people. I was refering to academics, and academics only. So why are you bringing the lay people into the equation?

@starcapture3040 Yes, the contemporary left is waging a culture war against European history and cultural heritage. Because europeans happened to be quite successful conquerors and warriors in times where every single culture on the planet engaged in warfare and conquest to some extent.
