Science is so fucked. The skill and discipline revolving around 'observing' things, now requires you to close your eyes. Doesn't matter if its archaeology, climate, geology, close your eyes. Stop noticing things. You might harm retards with factual observations.
The medieval ages weren't 'dark'. They were full of innovation, technological growth and religious virtue. You're leaning on old leftist mainstream lies.
They're colloquially known as the dark ages due to the immense loss of knowledge and technology because of the fall of Rome. Humanity forgot concrete and sanitation for centuries, among many other things.
It had many positive aspects as well, but many negative.
I thought the Dark Ages referred to the period of Germanic migrations that preceded the Middle Ages, and were called that because we know little about them compared with the Late Roman Empire or the early medieval era.
On September 25, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) wrote a letter canceling the upcoming conference panel, “Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology,” which they had previously accepted.
Of course Canada is somehow involved.
“The reason the session deserved further scrutiny was that the ideas were advanced in such a way as to cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large,” the rejection letter declared.
"The community at large"...huh?
The panel proposed and initially accepted for the annual AAA/CASCA fall meeting noted that “there are multiple domains of research in which biological sex remains irreplaceably relevant to anthropological analysis” and therefore cannot simply be substituted with “gender.”
“Contesting the transition from sex to gender in anthropological scholarship deserves much more critical consideration than it has hitherto received in major disciplinary fora,” the proposal read.
Ready for some bullshit?
“This decision was based on extensive consultation and was reached in the spirit of respect for our values, the safety and dignity of our members, and the scientific integrity of the program(me),” the letter said.
At least the people involved had some pushback.
In their response to the letter, the six panelists — all serious scholars — note their puzzlement “at the AAA/CASCA adopting as its own official stance that to support the continued use of biological sex categories (e.g., male and female; man and woman) is to imperil the safety of the LGBTQI community.”
The panel “included a group of diverse women, one of whom is a lesbian,” the response observes. “In addition to having three fields of anthropology presented in our panel, our panel also included anthropologists from four countries with three languages – an international panel concerned about the erasure of women.”
Hey, they've got some balls!
Anthropologists around the world “will quite rightly find chilling this declaration of war on dissent and on scholarly controversy,” they conclude. “It is a profound betrayal of the AAA’s principle of ‘advancing human understanding and applying this understanding to the world’s most pressing problems.’”

So it was already cringey as fuck, but it’s nice to see we will no longer be assuming the gender of any human remains anymore….
I am reminded of the South Park episode in which Butters becomes the "anti-toxicity" filter for celebrities, and the villain is Reality, who tells them things they don't want to hear.
They lynch him in the town square at the finale, and the end credits are silent.

"science". The scientific method requires the ability to question everything
The phrase you're looking for is "replication crisis".
This is the best and most succinct way I've ever seen the problem phrased.
The dark ages were preferable to this.
This. There is going to be so much humanity will have to "decipher" if we ever get back to knowing truths.

Nah, they're called dark due to idiotic stereotypes.
As you more or less implied, The 21st century is going to be a lot worse than the worst of medieval misinformation.

I've never heard the term used outside of synonymous with medieval.
Specifically early medieval, not high or late medieval. 650 to 1000 AD or so.
You know, after Islamists began executing slave raids all across the Med.
Denying reality to help the insane, lazy parenting 101.
Of course Canada is somehow involved.

They should start calling their cult "Science+" like what happened to the atheist community.
Trauma incoming.
What institution's acronym is GRIFFITH again?
Fucking cultists everywhere.
Trannies should be committed.
Thier enablers even more so
So it was already cringey as fuck, but it’s nice to see we will no longer be assuming the gender of any human remains anymore….
bring on the genocide.
Lets ignore science because feelings might be hurt and it doesnt validate some wacko's dilusions. Nice.
I have degrees in anthropology, this is such a sad thing to see.
