Abstract
I depart from IR concerns to deal with the realm of genetic research where researchers wed to a set of methods imagine that what those methods yield are the only true scientific products. Masks of reason are all too evident in the fast and loose way that sophisticated neoeugenic methods and techniques are used to serve underlying social agendas and prejudices.
REASON, v.i. To weigh probabilities in the scale of desire
- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary.
