    Indeed, I think a lot of people probably have a similar reaction.

    In Jan’s case it seems his view is that it opens the door to things like “moral relativism” and so the spectre of “Cultural Marxism” and the related accusations of this being some sort of plot soon follow…

    I found it interesting since evolution deniers do similar things when it comes to Bio 101 - they think that Darwin is making the world more “secular”, as they define that term. Meaning, they think that scientific facts influence culture in some nefarious way. They may be right that facts will influence culture in certain ways, but they arrive at the conclusion that it’s been orchestrated by some big “They” to force some cultural outcome, and assume it also must be false.
