 In geology, efforts to “decolonise the curriculum” involve challenging Western epistemologies, potentially diluting rigorous methodologies with subjective narratives. A UK study on science teaching staff revealed the dangers, with some fearing it undermines core scientific principles. By prioritising “diverse ways of knowing” over empirical validation, we risk equating myth with method, dooming students to a fragmented worldview where chaos reigns. This isn’t empowerment; it’s intellectual sabotage, ensuring no stable basis for societal flourishing. – the inestimable Gawain Towler Read the whole thing.

Consider almost any apparently current ‘common knowledge’ today – Net Zero, critical race theory, trans, ‘diversity is our strength’ – and you will find instead a minority concern elevated to ‘common knowledge’ with the dictatorial overlord shouting down those who dare speak against it. This is most acutely felt within academia and certain corporates, but all of us at some point will have self-censored for fear our opinions are not common knowledge when in fact they probably are. If as a society we can succeed in getting a proper handle on ‘common knowledge’ we will greatly improve our country and our sense of ease within it.

You can be a “partner”, a “reliable supplier” or perhaps even an “ally” of Brussels. You can even stand next to Ursula von der Leyen in London and proclaim the end of the Brexit wars. But unless you are an EU member state, you will always be a competitor and ultimately expendable. October 13th, 2025 | 22 comments - (Comments are closed)
Visit BBC Broadcasting House in Central London and you’ll pass a statue of George Orwell accompanied by a quote from an unpublished preface to Animal Farm: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” When the statue was erected in 2017, the head of BBC history said it would serve as a reminder of “the value of journalism in holding authority to account”. If only. The statue isn’t a symbol of the BBC’s journalistic excellence, but a standing reproach for its failure. – Helen Joyce, in an article called The BBC’s dangerous lies in the print version of The Critic October 3rd, 2025 | 29 comments - (Comments are closed)
There’s a fascinating case study to be made of how in a generation or so the British ripped leagues of old Etonians, Harrovians, Wykehamists out of institutions to be replaced by “the best and brightest”, and then inexplicably everything became shit September 30th, 2025 | 30 comments - (Comments are closed)
