We defenders of the humanities need to do battle on three fronts against three enemies: scientism, leftism, Islamism. Each is represented by a disturbing number of crapweasels, individuals who won't own up to who and what they are. Thus prominent scientisticists -- to give an ugly name to an ugly bunch -- will deny that there there is any such thing as scientism. (See my Scientism category for documentation.) And the same goes, mutatis mutandis, for the Pee Cee crowd and the Islamists.
Here are two links so that you may know your enemies.
