    I do love that flat earth documentary where the guy eventually proved the Earth is a sphere.

      It 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.

              I can already hear the meme train. Hop in or live long enough to die on the tracks.
              BTW: What if the train is my totem?

    This could backfire so horribly when they take that as permission to let all their crazy out.

    I’ve never seen a published paper on how to make meth. I gotta get that info from Bill, and his parents were siblings.

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

    I researched the spelling of “research” for this reply. Does this count as publishing?

    Like most published research isn’t unreproducible horseshit mostly there because of name dropping or dollars.

      Fwiw 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.

        My 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.

          One published paper is not a valid method of drawing a conclusion. Studying references, citations and related papers is.

      Correct, most published research is not unreproducible horseshit.

        So it is reproducible horseshit, got it.
