Scientism and sjwism is the secular religion of the nwo. They even have dietary requirements, c'mon maan.

They do understand and don't care. Why open yourself to being wrong or avoid the temptation of treating yourself like a god when the worshipers and propagandists are waiting? They are academics. They cannot function in the real world and get off to being an authority over naive college students.

Academia is about academics collecting a paycheck while doing the least and poorest work possible. They will do anything to protect their pathetic lifestyle.
