When bitcoiners say dumb ass retard shit like this it reminds me why people think we’re a cult
Did you study math/physics/chemistry/biology? Or are you someone with absolutely no ability to actually complete problem solving but on the outside you’re critical of some shit you could never personally do?
I have a decade of experience in analytical chemistry. Let’s hear it. Tell me about mass spectrometry and how it’s flawed. I’ll wait.
I’m not saying measurement science like mass spectrometry is fake that’s a category error. The claim isn’t “science bad.” The claim is as fields move away from hard physical constraints and into noisy inference with career-driven incentives, false positives explode.
Dude, even in present-day conditions the worst offenders of the replication science are in slop fields like “social psychology”, or in fields where the books are cooked by people wanting to appeal to investors (biomedicine) or thinktanks and ideologies (economics).
Even then, with all the perverse incentives and new lower integrity participants allowed to publish as a result of globalization, science is still working quite fine in a statistical sense. Most studies in real fields are probably not wrong. Fraud, intellectual laziness, and a complete lack of understanding of statistics poisoning the well of publications are real problems. But things are not that bad.
Couple things. I am in fact being hyperbolic in the OP In order to generate a conversation. Next you’re right that it’s been largely slop fields, but unfortunately the replication problem is growing and entering fields like medicine for instance. Lastly id say we can’t blame globalization because many of the most visible failures involve elite western institutions, top journals, and senior researchers. The incentives are baked into the prestige economy of science itself, not imported from the margins.
