If you support The Current Thing (the "authorized narrative") you will go far in epidemiology and academia (or any field). It doesn't matter a lick if everything you said was preposterously false. All that matters is that you were a good scientist or citizen and you accepted The Current Thing.

Nobody believes in the Socratic Method anymore. Socrates himself would have been cancelled the day China reported this pandemic to the WHO.
It’s worse. People in my recent MA and PhD don’t just disbelieve in the Socratic method: if any grad student or professor knows who Socrates is, then they openly oppose him because Socrates was white and male (according to them and my discipline’s literature). They ‘cancel’ him and his ‘patriarchal’ status (and Plato and Aristotle) on a regular basis. I’ve witnessed this categorical dismissal and zealous erasure in real time by my professors and via citation justice. For his very ancient self to be present in modern academia confirms the patriarchy is alive and well and must be fought by any means necessary. Even pseudoscience and erasure if necessary.
