[T]wo US academics, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay, recently came up with an even better one. They managed to get published in a social sciences journal a paper arguing that the penis is not in fact a male reproductive organ but merely a social construct and that, furthermore, penises are responsible for causing climate change.April 1st may be in the rearview mirror, but there's always room for one more... or, alternatively, the U.S. president may need some new octane for his Tweet-mobile.
Well, science and journalism might be flawed by having humans at the helm. But i imagine anti-intellectualism to be a more dangerous road to embrace.
