contemporary discourse is really a poisoned well, philosophers and scientists i whose work i admire seem to shut off their brains when it comes to lysenko.
i cant read the stuff you shared, i did read an english translation of i think a committee meeting and it was entirely reasonable.
they did make references to things i didnt understand, and still would like to go through, like morganism and morgan’s work.
my assessment was lyenko had an appropriate approach to the empirical evidence and methods of the time. hopefully i can try to parse the works you shared. i really find it disapointing that the rather unique conditions of the environment where the task to grow sustenance is almost never mentioned by opponents.
Is there a Lemmy dedicated to scientific communist achievements yet? Feels like a daily post dedicated to a discovery by a communist in any field of academia would be a neat idea somewhere.
