See, replication isn’t a problem if your entire field is vibes-based. A lot of economics papers I come across are like that (so much so that I am close to writing off the entire decipline as unscientific). The diff in the level of rigour you would see in e.g. particle physics versus in economics is baffling.

It used to be psychology as well but I am noticing they are more than aware of their replication crisis lately. Whereas economics feels pseudoscience with a maths clothing.

Black holes aren’t like magnets

Reputation comes from public, it requires collective action and coordination. Collective action is not easy, but it is not as hard it might seem either. For example, many open source projects in software are highly reputable without a private ownership.

Headline implicates that it was returning non-science data so far lol

SNe?

Maybe I’m just jaded and cynical but it won’t “destroy the company” even if it comes out like that. The laws don’t apply to people at the top

I finished it just there. First chapter and bits of later chapter are great, but unfortunately the rest of the book is poorly sourced. For a book with “science” in title, I was expecting more rigour.

Currently reading “The Science of Storytelling” by Will Storr, it is quite good so far!

I would put philosophy in leftmost
