week 3 dq Madyson Wier

One of the things in my time as an academic is that when you work primarily on research. The work you find exploring the cutting edge of science and technology, the stuff you find from the past often flys in the face of political proganda.

Right now I am working on a sequence of information which is on the rather extreme side of cutting edge, but it cannot be disproven. The mathematical applications of said are simply too much to overcome. The statistical likelihood that the millions of tons of rock just happened to be carved in the exact bio/phys of the character of Janus is close to impossible. The Spinal Cords and the nervous branching off the spines are just too much evidence to not accept.

However as a student in a PhD program the amount of academic rigger needed to present said information to the respective fields is daunting to say the absolute least.

However, I focus on the scientific method, ego, arrogance, and of course politic is not part of the scientific method. It is in fact entirely removed from the method. Or it si supposed to be.

For me and everyone I interact with, I say the same thing. As a mantra “follow the scientific method. Let the facts speak for thsemlves”. The locus of control from others is actually a fascinating thing to watch, people who have very little self esteem attack without mercy. The feel and will say flat out, I do not like that. They ignore the science and focus only on their bruised ego and arrogance. Which is a very interesting mourning/grieving process to experience. Research can force some to many their locus of control goes from “I am the captain of my own ship” to being just a deckhand. They do not like that shift in power and it produces an emotional response.

In my experience, they need time to work out their junk. They will either work out their junk or they will be in an ever existing bed of emotional nails. Which is not the researchers responsibility to help them through a larger mourning grieving of the past ideas or previous heirachral structure. Presenting information, be helpful, but not be a nursemade. Encouragement is good, but not a crutch.
