I've been through the academia bullshit am friends with several people who got phds. when it comes to academic research, the entire system is poisoned with professors who withhold grades until the results align with their thesis.
your data doesn't match my thesis from 20 years ago, I won't let you graduate until you run it again and it aligns with my brilliance!
it's not just left wing bias. academia is rotten to the core with circle jerking.
I noticed that especially with astronomy. They make up invisible things whenever they need to. Just to keep the ancient hypotheses alive.
There is also a bias towards hype-subjects. As long they are in line with the beliefs of the peers. When someone discovers "something new" with hardly any evidence, it gets so much hype that they promote it as "the best thing ever". Like: AI and Crisper (DNA manipulation).
The hard part about deifying scientists like Einstein or Hawking is that you make everyone too scared to take a swing at them, because even if you are right everyone will rally against you for daring.
So all new things must be within the handful of frameworks that always existed, even if it doesn't make sense.
