    Klaus, lobbyist.

    Note quite on the same scale as Jon, but I've been elected as a board member of the Network for Scientific Freedom, which one could classify as the Heterodox Academy of German-speaking countries. There are already around 700 professors in the network, and we are slowly but steadily gaining visibility and influence. The fight is on.

    Excellent! What kinds of issues will your board address in the next few years?

        Various issues.

        One thing we are doing right now is to build a public annotated database of cases of "cancel culture" in the German-speaking academia. We also try to help the involved people in various ways, including legally, and generally raise public awareness about the dangers of "wokeism" et al through various channels (in addition to the usual social media, we have many members from the social sciences and the humanities who write for newspapers, participate in public debates, publish books etc.).

          That's a good and necessary thing. The woke messaging elite will reflexively dismiss allegations of cancelation. They'll frame all that stuff as whining about literally nothing.

          Education is extremely important.

                Congratulations, meine liebe Herr Heterodoxische Doktor!

                This sounds very interesting and provocative.

                And yes, when you've gotten the bugs worked out of your beta, can you see about bringing the alpha over here? We need it sooo bad!

                Seriously, I'd be interested in getting updates about y'alls doings from time to time.

                And thank you for your contribution to the return to sanity of the world.

                              I walked by Lauren Boebert’s office on the 5th floor of the Longsworth House building just a while ago. She had all sorts of don’t-tread-on-me flags outside. Wanted a picture but didn’t think it was a good idea.
