Somehow much of scientific progress happened without peer review.

Interesting to see the inception was during the peak Cold War era.

Note that Bell Labs era was when a lot of the technology underpinning the current world order was created (computers, OS, high-level programming langs, satellites, networking, microelectronics, etc). It hit the skids after Bell lost the antitrust suit with the Feds in the 1980s though. After that every big innovation was mostly a private or joint-venture affair.

That chart suggests big time bureaucratic intervention was deemed necessary to manage which scientific facts were judged acceptable to make it into the public domain.

It definitely had a deleterious effect on innovation post 1980s.

honestly can't comment on that.

my only point is that words like "science" or "peer review" or even just "virtue" sound so positive that the average person automatically accepts anything labeled with them as good, necessary, even perfect ( depending on how dumb the person is ).

but somehow white people were doing just fine before Christianity and Science was doing just fine before Peer Review

somehow we were able to develop the Atomic Bomb without Peer Review for example ...

but nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c can't figure out that meat is healthier than seed oils without some guy with a medical STATE LICENSE on JEW TUBE giving him PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC STUDY META ANALYSIS that shows we have evolved eating Bison, not Donuts

nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c be like - sure everybody knows that people who eat Donuts ( Grain + Seed Oils ) are all super unhealthy, but that isn't scientific and not peer reviewed so i will continue to eat Grain + Seed Oils because it worked so great for me in the past ( made me fat, gave me IBS and Gout )

also everybody knows that people who eat like nostr:npub14am887cf6kvwkce89nt7dsw3v9qrrn0uppxyvr6a2jd7xdwuwccqwnudp2 are all healthy and fit but that is also not scientific so i refuse to do that

i have to wonder how many Clot Shots did nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c take LOL despite being self-employed and living alone on a farm

i mean Fauci ( a.k.a. "I am the science" ) said they were 100% safe and effective so it must be so ...

i know i am beating on dead horse here but the fact is nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c never recanted. he STILL maintains that seed oils are "SUPER HEALTHY" because "THE SCIENCE"
