I have noticed that there are still some miscreant faculty and students at Cornell who do not conform to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion culture. Those noncompliant, disobedient, wrongdoers claim to have a sense of truth which prevents them from making social justice their top priority. With D. H. Lawrence, they still believe the fallacy:

The profoundest of all sensualities

is the sense of truth

and the next deepest sensual experience

is the sense of justice.

How dare the noncompliant miscreants prioritize truth over justice!

Remember the words of our hero, Ibram X. Kendi: An activist produces power and policy change, not mental change…Educational and moral suasion is not only a failed strategy. It is a suicidal strategy.

It is far more effective to use a little white lie to mobilize people to peacefully protest in the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion than to build a logical argument based on a foundation of truth!

The miscreants claim that because we do not believe in objective, rational linear thinking, we cannot put together three sentences in our fight for social justice without contradicting ourselves. In order to avoid this situation never put three sentences together when communicating with them. In fact, it is better not to answer them, debate them, or engage them in any kind of dialogue. To be tolerant, we must be intolerant! To be inclusive, we must be anti-inclusive!

The miscreants also believe that they see evidence of an objective world. With Gloria Teasdale, they parrot:

But I saw you with my own eyes.

Let’s face it. They are doubly deluded. They not only believe the racist trope of objective, rational linear thinking for the search for truth, but they believe that they can see evidence of objective truth.

Nonsense! We must double down and quote the great hereditary Marxist Chicolini:

Well, who ya gonna believe me or your own eyes?

Beware! They may still try to present evidence of an objective world to you, which you will immediately recognize as being evidence of systemic racism. If you cannot walk away without engaging them, use KenDiAngelonian logic to tell them that any evidence against the existence of systemic racism is evidence of systemic racism. We must let them know in no uncertain terms that there is neither an objective truth nor any evidence for it. There is only systemic racism and patriarchal, heteronormative, and cisgender biases throughout the university. To be tolerant, we must be intolerant! To be inclusive, we must be anti-inclusive!

Even the prophet Herbert Marcuse could not foresee the dangers that the noncompliant could pose when he wrote in less apocalyptic times in Repressive Tolerance, indiscriminate tolerance is justified in harmless debates, in conversation, in academic discussion; it is indispensable in the scientific enterprise, in private religion.

No! No! No! We can never be tolerant of the noncompliant—especially when it concerns academic discussion, scientific enterprise, and private religion!

To be tolerant, we must be intolerant! To be inclusive, we must be anti-inclusive!

Let me repeat:

To be tolerant, we must be intolerant! To be inclusive, we must be anti-inclusive!

Do not engage the miscreants!

But if you falter, and engage with them, and they press you by saying that the sentences in your argument contradict each other, tell them that at best, their idea of objective truth is just a simple truth while our relative truth is a deep truth! Then quote Niels Bohr:

In the Institute in Copenhagen, where through those years a number of young physicists from various countries came together for discussions, we used, when in trouble, often to comfort ourselves with jokes, among them the old saying of the two kinds of truth. To the one kind belong statements so simple and clear that the opposite assertion obviously could not be defended. The other kind, the so-called “deep truths,” are statements in which the opposite also contains deep truth.
