Ladies and Gentlemen: The Self Proclaimed Smartest People in the Room

A trio of writers who describe themselves as left-leaning but decry the academic influence of political correctness, identity politics, and what they call "grievance studies" conducted an experiment: Could they fool scholarly journals into publishing hoax papers masquerading as legitimate scholarship?
The answer, it turns out, was yes. Seven journals accepted the fake papers, which were written by James Lindsay, a mathematician; Helen Pluckrose, editor of Areo; and Peter Boghossian, an assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University.
I'm not sure there's much more I can say about the intellectual frauds humanities departments have become. I'm not education, but so much of the Liberal Arts aren't education anymore.

And now Johnny is the professor.
