“The long-awaited first issue of Journal of Controversial Ideas (JCI), which allows academics of all disciplines to publish peer-reviewed research anonymously, has just been released. In an editorial leading the online issue, the co-editors, philosophers Peter Singer, Francesca Minerva, and Jeff McMahan, write:
“By permitting publication under a pseudonym, we hope to enable authors to fulfil their duty to pursue the truth without putting their careers or physical or mental security at risk. Intellectual and moral progress should not require heroes or martyrs.””

I thought that was what tenure was for?

No tenure without orthodox views…

Not necessarily… in an era where any data that contradicts critical social justice theory is verboten and “mostly peaceful” SJWs are permitted to hound professors out of jobs, doxx people, harass them at home, etc. Or an era where data that contradicts The Science can get you in trouble with the powers that be.

If you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to sign it then why write it in the first place? It is non fiction isn’t it? Or, is so far “out there” that many will dispute it. Something along the lines of climate change has caused the Arctic hare to become carnivorous and will eat all the polar bears within the next 3-5 decades. Really, who would want to defend that statement? To me this is nothing more than building up numbers to strengthen the phrase “trust the science”. I’m sure there’s other reasons for wanting to remain anonymous while pushing an agenda. Personally I say grow a set and put your name to it
