One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others

Which one is different, do you know?

>3 University of Michigan researchers win MacArthur Foundation 'genius grants'

>The $500,000 fellowships for 2011 were announced today by the Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. University of Michigan researchers on the list include Tiya Miles, Melanie Sanford and Yukiko Yamashita.

>Sanford is an organometallic chemist, U-M said. Her research focuses on using metal-based agents, primarily palladium, to catalyze reactions that substitute hydrogen in carbon-hydrogen bonds with other atoms or functional groups, according to the release.

[Anonymous No.3778856]

>Yamashita, a stem cell biologist, is working to explain the process of stem cell division and its role in age-related decline in organ repair and in the onset of some cancers and other disorders, U-M said.

[Anonymous No.3778859]

>Miles is a public historian who is reframing and reinterpreting the history of the nation “in works that illuminate the complex interrelationships between the African and Cherokee peoples in colonial America,” U-M said.

such a fancy way of saying "making shit up"

Son of a bitch. Give my lab that money and we'll give you a marketable product that will earn you many times that amount in a few years. Give that money to a public historian and be regaled with tales of how the Cherokee and the slaves found inspiring camaraderie in their shared experience of being shit on by the white man.

History is important. If you're bitter about funding you should be more concerned with the billions spent on bombing Arabs and bailing out shitty American corporations.

Hasn't this been done for decades?

The providers don't like them being labeled as genius grants, due to the fact that they give them to a wide variety of people.

[Anonymous No.3778925]

>>3778904
Thing is we already know history. No need to flush good grant money down the toilet in the name of 'reinterpreting and reframing'

I am not at all concerned with the money being spent to bomb Arabs because we are tangentially involved in refining the processes used to make some of those bombs and so some of that money actually goes to us. Hooray for the military industrial complex.

What a laughable exercise in futility to try to compare the works of serious scientists working on complex problems to a revisionist pro black “historian” with an obvious agenda. I’m sure Ms. Miles would be an asset to a public library somewhere but to compare her work to that of those above her is utterly ridiculous.

I like how 'pro black' gets thrown in there just so the prejudice of the commenter is abundantly clear.

[Anonymous No.3778944]

>>3778925

Seeing how little grant money history gets, maybe it's best to increase grants for the hard sciences rather than decreasing them for the soft? This sort of infighting is not helping anyone.

AmRen is an openly white nationalist magazine. But it's a good article.

[Anonymous No.3778949]

>>3778930

And the quote marks around historian. Because I'm sure Anon has read enough of her work to form an educated judgement as to whether her research is valid.

[Anonymous No.3778952]

>>3778897

If you're confident you can turn a profit, then take a loan? Start a company, sell shares? You don't need grants. Theoretical research which doesn't turn a profit does.

[Anonymous No.3778955]

>>3778944
If that's the case then history grants should still go to serious historians.

Afrocentric revisionism is laughable.

Seeing how little historical research does to help anyone or improve anyone's quality of life, it seems like the funding historians get is pretty close to appropriately proportional, if not a little generous.

Seriously what is she going to do with that 500k? Not like she can buy a Cherokee Spectrometer to aid her in reinterpreting history.

Is thinking Whites deserve equal rights a dirty thought that should be kept secret?

[Anonymous No.3778970]

>>3778957
If her work is what passes for serious history then the whole field should probably be defunded.

[Anonymous No.3778972]

>>3778952
That works for some people. We let the people who have the mass production capacity build the products and they let the people that have the necessary contacts, brand recognition, and marketing organs sell them. Specialization maximizes output after all.

[Anonymous No.3778977]

>>3778963
No, but it is pretty stupid to imply that whites are not privileged above other races in our society already.

[Anonymous No.3778979]

>>3778970

So you've read her work, then? Compared it to your own extensive research into cherokee history and found it lacking?

Good strawman.

[Anonymous No.3778984]

Did you read the article? She's using it to fund education for urban areas, specifically females.

Seems reasonable enough to me.

amren is an attempt to make a "race realist" (nothing off limits) news website but in pretty much every article they can't help but end up indulging in some supremacist zeal.

also, they're not simply white supremacist, but full of jews, david duke went to speak at a meeting and everyone in the room raged.
this sort of circus totally destroys any illusion of objectivity.
it would help their cause so much more if the comments left by the websites patrons diddn't make me weep for humanity.

even people who want to keep the discourse scientific will fail because there are invariably clowns and people with strong alterior motives that will turn something with potential utility into a circus and amren fits the bill perfectly.
