The replication crisis has spread through science – can it be fixed?

"Replication crisis" is a just politically correct way of saying "outright fraud is common in science"

>Science is in the throes of what is sometimes called the replication crisis, so named because a big hint that a scientific study is wrong is when other teams try to repeat it and get a different result. While some fields, such as psychology, initially seemed more liable than others to generate such “fake news”, almost every area of science has since come under suspicion. An entire field of genetics has even turned out to be nothing but a mirage. Of course, we should expect testing to overturn some findings. The replication crisis, though, stems from wholesale flaws baked into the systems and institutions that support scientific research, which not only permit bad scientific practices, but actually encourage them. And, if anything, things have been getting worse over the past few decades.

Won't be fixed until the goal of scientific study is simply to learn as opposed to try to prove your pre-established political ideals

it's government crisis, these faggots keep keeping jobs for "scientists" who don't have anything to study really, just like local shills are not needed by real economy and are useless eaters. overpopulation, service economy is a bubble, a tumor actually, natalists are cancer.

It's nothing new. Someone gets into a position of authority and they're expected to answer questions. The people surpervising the datamining process are incompetent or they make mistakes, then the authority figure makes shit up so everybody can get paid. It's a tale as old as time.

Really makes you wonder if Bacon didn't invent and publish his ideas about "the scientific method" as a propaganda ploy. He was a political figure, not a scientist.
