Should studies with zero reproducibility really have any say or influence over public policy?

of course not

imagine how low iq someone has to be to trust the scientists

Yes, that's why they were falsified in the first place. They can't serve their purpose if they aren't used to change public policy and perception.

This happens because universities force you to publish some shit before they give you le epic paper.

no.

of course not, because then the theory of evolution would fail that requirement

This was a science humor journal in the 20th century, these days all journals are jokes.

In the medieval University which is essentially the university we've inherited the highest degree was a doctor of divinity. The next highest degree was Doctor of law. The next highest degree was Doctor of medicine. So what this means is that medicine is super intended by law & law is super intended by theology or divinity. In the 18th and 19th centuries you saw the demise of theology as the superintendent of law. I would argue that in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries you've seen the demise of law as the superintendent of Medicine. So now we have a system that was never designed to have medicine in charge because states of life like health and sickness those are all defined theologically. This is especially true when you think of things like Mental Health. If the king charges off into battle to acquire territory for his country he's not mentally ill but if it's subject charges at the Caden screaming that there's no such thing as a king of course he's mentally ill. He probably has schizophrenia or whatever the $5 word at the time was. So you have a system that should have been taken away completely by the 19th century. There shouldn't be such a thing as state-controlled medicine or state-controlled law or state control theology. Because without the head which was the ology you have no intergenerational basis for defining the states of life or even the sexes. So it's not even a question of whether reproducibility is the issue it's more a question of politics and public policy are not scientific disciplines. It's not a scientific fact that there ought to be a speed limit it's a political decision. The most you can get for medicine and Science in general is statistics that say on this road if we make the speed limit this velocity then we have fewer deaths then if the speed limit is double that. Science is epistemic Lee incapable of telling you which you ought to prefer because that's a theological question.

I have a copy of that volume. What happened to the journal?

>> No.14509436

>>14509430
unfortunately it died - the title was interpreted incorrectly. it is actually "the irreproducible journal of results" as such this is the only issue
