swindle is drawing to a close. People are finally fighting back, resisting the scam.
And it is TOTALLY a scam, meant to line pockets <cough>Al Gore<cough> at the expense of Lefty rubes, though we are ALL repeatedly fleeced by this anti-scientific crapola! I guess I wouldn’t really care if it were only the Leftards getting conned, but we all have to share in their stupidity! 🙄
have a REAL reproducibility problem. And we are finding out now that many seminal studies in psychology were faked. It undermines knowledge itself.
little scientific here and look at the numbers. Let’s be led by data and logic, not by charlatans and every wind of trendy assertion!
The fact that 50% of people think Global Warming might be an issue is a testament to how crappy and lame our educational system is! People who understand science don’t fall for such bull-crap…
scary. I have taught a lot of psych 101 and repeated the longstanding lies. And I am embarrassed and angry. Foundational studies such as Milgram and Zimbardo.
The team “attempted replications of 274 claims of positive results” but found only about half could be replicated.
And peer review? I’ve been involved. Let me just invoke the Haitian proverb: “If you knew what chickens eat, you wouldn’t eat chicken!” (I lived in Haiti for years and heard that particular proverb many times).
“The bigger stake is clinical,” the University of Toronto professor said. “Psychology sits at the heart of how we treat mental illness. If the underlying work isn’t credible, why trust the treatment recommendations that flow from it?”
but things are starting to come out about the COVID faux vaccine and it sure ain’t pretty!
The question now is simple: can we finally talk about the healthy athletes who collapsed, the heart risks officials acknowledged, and the safety signals hidden from the public?
scammers and charlatans even among scientists. And that is to be expected–that’s what a subset of people in ALL organizations do. And sometimes they gain political power to push their nonsense. And it IS nonsense, whether they have a religiously intense attachment to it or not.
Just because a person is a scientist doesn’t mean that he or she is telling the truth or is not on the take or is not completely fooled! Let’s not be naĂŻve, here…
another “climate change” study comes out that is manifestly a steaming pile of bull crap. This one was SO egregiously bad that it had to be retracted. For scientists, this was just an epic embarrassment, both for the authors and for the journal.
You read that right, my friend. Conditions in Uzbekistan from 30 years ago were overly weighted in this research. This means scientists actually tried to predict global warming economic impacts 25 years from now based on the weather in a country in Central Asia from three decades ago.
But hey, I survived the impending ice age, acid rain, deforestation from the scarily-named “slash-and-burn,” DDT, the hole in the ozone, nuclear power’s “China Syndrome,” global warming, etc., etc., etc.
It’s ALL nonsense. And the proposed Lefty solution is ALWAYS you paying more taxes and losing freedoms!🤔 They will promise to save you from the nightmarish sea-monster Scylla by helping you stay far away from it, while conveniently “forgetting” to tell you that THEY are the whirlpool Charybdis!
“If you knew what chickens eat, you wouldn’t eat chicken.” And as I am a behavioral scientist I can confidently say that if you knew how many scientists actually behave, you wouldn’t trust scientists…
And I say that as a former (adjunct) university professor who has been published in the scientific literature myself.
I’d like to think that there was a time in the past when actual science was done and it was trustworthy and reliable. And perhaps that was a bit truer back then than it is now. But I doubt it very much.
Now it was never perfect: But many of the seminal psychology experiments such as the Stanford prison experiment and Stanley Milgram’s experiments on compliance to authority and electric shocks were a flat-out frauds. There is simply no documentation that things happened the way they said they did. And no one can replicate the studies. Hmmm…
And these are two of the basic Psychology 101 studies that are talked about in every textbook. And yet they were total frauds. They simply cannot be replicated–which is a glaring red flag. And they haven’t been. And now it is not at all clear that they ever actually happened in the first place.
It’s frustrating for me to find out that many of the experiments I taught to undergraduates were actually fraudulent. I personally taught fraudulent things to my students! Yes, I didn’t know that they were fraudulent then, but it still rankles.
As you might imagine, I am pretty jaundiced now. It is clear that this is, to a large extent, all about research money and tenure. The scales have fallen from my eyes, so to speak
So now, when I hear someone say, “trust the science,” my response is, “If you knew what chickens eat, you wouldn’t eat chicken.”
that!
Leading experts in Canada have issued a global alert after an investigation confirmed that an “alarming” surge in “unexpected” or “excess” deaths is linked to Covid “vaccine” mandates.
… The report warns that forced mRNA injections, lockdowns, and manipulated mortality data have fueled an unprecedented wave of preventable deaths.
Well welcome to the party, pal! Many of us who were more scientifically-oriented have been saying this for five years! Holy crap, it sure took you a long time to clue in!
You can blame it on just being either a slack-jawed rube or a suck-up political hack. But those aren’t good looks, either…
you need to “trust the science!’
We are indeed seeing “the death of expertise.” But it wasn’t a murder, it was a suicide. When an “expert” says something, I first ask whether that actually is within the realm of their competence. Then I look at what reasoning they have provided.
It’s easy when the direction is “You need to get these lab panels.” It is MUCH different when it is, “I know there has never been a been any problem. but you need to get rid of your guns and vote Democrat.”
