"The grant cancellations, Young concludes, "Arise from the NIH’s newly minted war against undefined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion and gender identity, that has expanded to include vaccine hesitancy, COVID, influencing public opinion and climate change." The "undefined" aspect plays a key part in his reasoning. Referring to DEI, he writes, "No one has ever defined it to this Court—and this Court has asked multiple times." It's not defined in Trump's executive order that launched the "newly minted war," and Young found that administrators within the NIH issued multiple documents that attempted to define it, not all of which were consistent with each other, and in some cases seemed to use circular reasoning.

He also noted that the officials who sent these memos had a tendency to resign shortly afterward, writing, "it is not lost on the Court that oftentimes people vote with their feet."

"Too much information" for the fossil fuel industry to tolerate, so it purchased vanishment.

In a strange way this is diagnostic of the recent success of #EnergyModernization.

Note how the gloves are coming off as the threat to the industry becomes serious. The industry has only been dabbling in interference until now. Its resources have not even been scratched at the atom-thick level in pursuit of paralysis, at this point. The current havoc was bought for a fraction of wealth completely invisible at the bottom line.

Only when the entire resource has been monetized will we be allowed more progress.
