The White House ordered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal regulatory agency, to expand its use of "Indigenous Knowledge" on Monday, as part of a last-minute push in the federal government to embrace what scientists call pseudoscience. (snip) "Indigenous Knowledge" is a discredited belief system positing that native-born peoples possess an innate understanding of how the universe works. While scientists have referred to its ideas as "dangerous" and a rejection of the scientific method, those criticisms have not stopped the Biden administration from ordering the federal government to consider "Indigenous Knowledge" when implementing rules and regulations.

An even better source of insightful knowledge is the moth. Yes - - the common moth which flits around your light bulbs and eats your sweaters.
The moth brain is small - - but it packs thousands of times more knowledge than the human brain. Most of the scientific achievements in the Earth's history - - have been inspired by moths. Isaac Newton in particular gave moths most of the credit for his theories.
So let's do it, Despicable Joe - - let's make use of the powerful intellects of the moths - - for the good of all mankind - - and for the eternal enhancement of your legacy!

It's like saying Europeans in the dark ages had an innate knowledge of medicine, so we should all carry oranges with cloves stuck in them to protect against the plague. Actually that's not too different from wearing little cloth masks to protect against COVID.

I'm thinking that if they put small pebbles, feathers and sticks into a leather pouch, shake it up and pour it out, the patterns will help them predict the weather.
Or not.
Seriously?

Just another offshoot of the "noble savage" trope. They even call it "The Myth of the Noble Savage." It is not only anti-historical but downright offensive.
Dear Lord, save us from overeducated white people with a guilt complex.

Is it just me or does anyone get the sense that there will soon be a new government position for an "Assistant Deputy Undersecretary for Indigenous Knowledge and Intergovernmental Affairs".

This further proves that the Demented Fuhrer is not "running" the country. With the blessing of Hussein, the Knotseez in the White House march towards their agenda with intent to see it their way.

Silly me. I though indigenous knowledge was what Jor-El gave Superman before he was adopted by Glen Ford.

Indigenous knowledge does not exist--but the government will spend billions on it.

Now that the MSM no longer feels a need to feverishly run cover for Biden, we're getting glimpses of just how inept, evil, and self-serving the old man and his manipulators are.

Hopefully the NOAA has enough common sense to just ignore this WH order.

Sorry #22!
I was trying to keep it short, as I know I have a tendency to be long-winded.
Agree that these should be given DEI Top Priority!
