I don't like using the term "replication crisis" for social sciences because it implies a possible non-crisis state, but there isn't one. Every study in every social field is either unrepeatable due to being subjective, or, rarely, something so blindingly obvious one can't fathom why anyone would bother writing it. (I know, grants, shut up.) Shit like "people in chronic pain are more likely to be unhappy". Wowzah, stop the fucking presses!

I completely agree. "social sciences" are not sciences and should never be allowed to be called a science without brutal ridicule and mocking. it's all self-reporting studies and abuses of statistical analysis. there is nothing scientific about it. furthermore, the field is full of women, who as we all know are largely incapable of performing science due to their instinctive and cognitive facilities.

This should come as no surprise to anybody aware of the replication crisis in the social sciences,

It's all disciplines though, not exclusively social sciences.

They're both a problem.

No, it's pretty much social studies.

Most medical studies just reflect social conditions.

No my dude, it really is affecting all areas of science.

I'm not paying to read that :(

Also 99% of "scientists" agree, whomever funded them was correct.

Exactly it: The pressure to publish positive results in order to secure more funding leads to many people fudging numbers and cutting corners, which leads to shoddy work.

Thanks. I’ll keep this article next time my cousins try to make some point. I’m always very skeptical when I see “studies” saying it’s a good thing.

I'm shocked if anything can be replicated. I'm shocked if anyone tries.

They are run by Canada these days under Dominic Barton, who works for Lynn de Rothschild.

Citizen, it sounds like you might have forgotten that "Science is real", or you may not "trust the Science", so please report to your nearest social credit re-evaluation center where our sci-evangelists will set you back on the right path.

Praise Science! Praise diversity!

No shit. Same as every other bit of bullshit. They can't replicate a study because it was made up.

The replication crisis was always just “leftists lying”. It’s a leftist crisis. Because any institution or industry that is taken over by leftists is no longer fit for purpose.

I looked at these studies back in the day.

They were completely fraudulent:

They considered all companies in the global MSCI index.

Then they looked at the number of female board members.

Then they looked at the stock performance over the past decade.

Unfortunately this research is wrong :

The US has been in a tech bubble.

Japan and other male societies have been in a decades long recession.

Hiring women will not solve Japan’s corporate issues.

You've been whooshed.

This study is still cited, Papers that cited it are cited. It's being used, just like Money's work. Which being the point of the experiment THAT THEY STATED shows how bad it is.

McKinsey, always putting a rubber stamp on whatever corporate slop needs officiating. Intricately expensive means of procuring a circle-jerk.

Profitable company is bought up by (((investors))). They turn around and mandate DEI practices.

Suddenly it is wow, look at how profitable the DEI companies are!

Ignores the fact they fall apart soon after.

It's never been about company performance. It has always been about disempowering workers, lying to workers, and lowering morale. Get a company to "more equitably" not recognize Christian holidays, and instead grant a lieu day, and that same lieu day you'd have to pay out anyways if they worked on it is covered, AND you don't need to pay time and a half for the day they're working! You JUST rob the workers, no gain AT ALL to them, and they often THANK YOU for it!

You know how McKinsey does studies? I'm not even joking because this is how almost all high finance/business people do "studies". First, you pick what conclusion you want, then you find data to support your conclusion. Voila, that's a business study for you.
