As I look back on the 2023 posts I have written, I can’t believe it has been my good fortune to share my analysis with so many great friends of Legal Insurrection. I am also so grateful to be part of an amazing team who are smart, dedicated, and insightful.

This year, I have decided to feature some of my favorite posts on the subject areas I follow most closely for Legal Insurrection.

The Ideological Capture of the Sciences and the New Resistance

I would like to think this is the year when people began to push back successfully against pseudoscience dedicated to supporting political narratives. I consider this resistance necessary to restore equilibrium and sanity to both science and society.

For example, there is now evidence that ideological capture has hindered innovation. An astrophysics professor received a much needed lesson in humility when her anti-male project that also smeared the concept of individualism and exceptionalism was slammed hard.
