Scholarship based less upon finding truth and more upon attending to social grievances has become firmly established, if not fully dominant, within these fields, and their scholars increasingly bully students, administrators, and other departments into adhering to their worldview. This worldview is not scientific, and it is not rigorous.
Another little trick that's sometimes played is to give a lecture consisting of random academic sounding statements strung together with no order. Afterwards the audience are invited to write a summary of their understanding of the lecture. Many of them don't want to admit they understood nothing so they make up a suitable, academic sounding summary.

I don't really care if anything I read has been peer reviewed. It's been proven to be biased and not worth the glory nor status that people put on it.
If it is false, it will be proven false quickly. No need for this outdated practice anymore...

I’m confused by your statement...
Isn’t peer review doing just that? Proving or backing what the ediotrs/author has said.
Btw... I work in academic publishing on the publisher side.
