Where Some of the Worst Attacks on Social Science Come From

Another article in this line is "The Unbearable Accuracy of Stereotypes".

Basically social scientists like to treat the usage of ethnic and gender stereotypes as evidence of stupidity and bad decisionmaking, but they never bothered to check whether stereotypes were actually incorrect.

Thanks for posting this article. It further diminishes my already-dismal view of the social sciences. The article highlights how strictly dogmatic the social sciences have become and how vicious and petty any attack on orthodoxy has become. I no longer think it's possible to glean any true knowledge out of current departments.
