That’s because the dominant scientific paradigm has particular cultural worldviews and assumptions embedded in it. Enlightenment philosophy—derived from a European Greco-Christian worldviews—held that animals were created different and inferior to humans, and that informed behaviorist paradigms.

Here are just a few of the NSF review panels that were shut down today, Chuck. This is research that would have made us competitive in computer science that will now be delayed by many months if not lost forever. AI is fine but right now the top priority is keeping the lights on at NSF and NIH.

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”
