I do love that flat earth documentary where the guy eventually proved the Earth is a sphere.
100 0 ReplyIt goes further than that.
Sargent says something along the lines of, "We can't tell people about this result. They'll kill us."
The entire film sets up the premise that NASA is hiding research about a flat earth. They are guarding the ice wall so people don't see it.
Then they hide research showing the earth is round.
These people don't care about science. They care about power.
It's no accident that conspiracy theorists and conservatives have a considerable overlap.

Im ashamed to say I get a visceral reaction from people misusing this word
7 0 ReplyIt's one of those unfortunate words that has multiple meanings depending on the venue/context, and where the casual meaning conflates and lessens the value of the technical meaning. Another: "experts."

2 0 ReplyWait, an accent on the U? I thought the participle of perdre was just perdu. Typo? Or does that accent actually have done significance here?

2 3 ReplyLike most published research isn't unreproducible horseshit mostly there because of name dropping or dollars.
9 19 ReplyFwiw the reproducibility crisis isn't because of "horseshit" science. There are a few examples of that for sure. But the vast majority of it is just good science that happens to be wrong. The scientific method doesn't mean the wrong conclusion can be drawn, especially when for budgetary reasons sample sizes are relatively limited, or when the effect size being studied is small, or there are too many confounding variables.
That's not a mark against the studies though. It's just a mark in favour of attempting to reproduce studies and giving good funding to attempts to do so. And perhaps a mark against using one-off studies with small effect sizes to shape public policy or health advice.
18 0 ReplyMy critique was not aimed at the scientific method itself nor at constraints faced by researchers. I was aiming more towards the sneering attitude that published research is the only valid method of drawing a conclusion, especially at the person level.
