KEN: Political correctness and what many call “wokeness” now being woke has brought our culture to its knees, figuratively and literally. Think about it. It’s bringing the country to its knees. It’s making thinkers idiots. The people that think, now they back off a little bit. Think about all the teachers and the managers and the CEOs and the people that they knew how to think.
They knew how to use their brain, they knew how to make decisions for themselves, and then wokeness enveloped them and political correctness. And then they realize before they said, “Well, that doesn’t make any sense. Why don’t we do this?” Now, they go, “Uh, you know, what happens if someone’s offended?”
When imagining research into spider biology, one might picture anything from the horror writing of Ezekiel Boone to science fiction comic heroes such as Spiderman, but for several labs at UC Berkeley’s Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, invertebrates, including spiders, are the focus of a wide array of nonfiction projects. On a large scale, researchers in the field of spider biology are exploring everything from genetics to taxonomy to biomechanics. The Elias Lab at UC Berkeley is an animal communication and behavior lab that focuses on bioacoustic research.
Bioacoustic research is a hybrid science that combines the disciplines of biology and acoustics in general, it studies the ways in which animals produce, respond to and interact with sound. The Elias Lab studies the different ways that various creatures behave and how this behavior might adapt and change in response to stimuli.
