“peer review is now a cartel that blocks new science” peer review is *not* what you think it is. It has been SOLD to you. It has been holding your society’s scientific progress hostage since widely introduced about 50yrs ago. (twitter.com)

Yup, and it has wrought this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and all of this and this and this and I'll end with a real doozy with this.

There are dozens and dozens more example of this. I haven't even touched on Covid, which has proven that medical science is not just broken but has been commandeered by corrupt scum to be abused for politics, to spread pseudoscience, and to enable injustice.

Nice citations.

Stages of modern academic denial :

We cannot accept citations as they are not peer reviewed.

Pointing out errors in my work is harassment and cyberstalking.

Pointing out fraud in my work is inciting violence against me and therefore violence itself.

.....

And we wonder why kids want to skip university

But actually diving into the sea of trash that is social science gives you a more tangible perspective, a more visceral revulsion, and perhaps even a sense of Lovecraftian awe at the sheer magnitude of it all: a vast landfill—a great agglomeration of garbage extending as far as the eye can see, effluvious waves crashing and throwing up a foul foam of p=0.049 papers.

Haha, holy shit.

That's putting aside all the papers that can't be replicated because the dataset is unavailable or the software being used to generate/analyze the data is unavailable because the authors are trying to start a company based on the software and don't want to give away the recipe for their secret sauce.
