Anti-woke warrior James Lindsay unmasked the fakery in academia when, he, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian wrote several sham papers accepted by seven different academic journals in 2018. The bogus papers included, “Rape Culture and Queer Performativity at Urban Dog Parks” and “Our Struggle is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice.” The latter integrated feminist theory in a rewrite of sections of Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Affilia -- “the only peer-reviewed, scholarly social-work journal from a feminist point of view” -- published the parody as a scholarly piece.
Lindsay has done it again, exposing the absurdity of woke medical articles. In response to a video of students reciting their own “updated” Hippocratic Oath at Columbia University Medical School, Dr. Lindsay tweeted a fake draft paper he wrote with Dr. Boghossian in 2021. “The Hippocratic Oath: Health Equity and Reimagining Medical Ethics” questioned the “Do No Harm” doctrine in advancing racial justice and equity. The bogus draft was never submitted, but the authors predicted the revisionist pledge at Columbia Medical School and introduced content startlingly similar to an actual medical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) paper published around the same time.
