Challenge Adani

Even this many years into the glorious march towards universal financialisation, there remain some reactionary elements who cling to the outdated and heretical doctrine that museums should be educational rather than profitable. Treacherous and un-British cabals of these metropolitan maniacs have conspired to boycott the former Museum of Patents because of its deal with the greenwashing wing of a coal company, which is financing an Energy Rah Rah gallery to open next year. The museum's director agrees that climate change is the most urgent "challenge" facing humanity (it is not, you will observe, anything so uncommercial as an existential threat, especially as those being challenged are mostly indigenous at the moment), but prefers to "engage and challenge" (that verb again) the culprits by helping them to launder their image. Such sensible moderation is lost upon the fanatics of pedagogy, whose persistent and wilful bias towards mere science is shared, perhaps not altogether coincidentally, by a number of mere scientists.
