They just aren’t employing the scientific method. When capital gets involved in academia in order to push for certain outcomes whether it be the fields of pharmaceuticals or even something like sociology you aren’t properly using the method anymore. You’re selecting for the best cog for the job who is willing to find the data you want him to and to come to the false conclusion based on the biased data that you want him to. This mantra of “we are the side of science” from shitlibs is absolutely mental. No! You are not at all, you don’t even believe in darwinism applied to human beings and you used that same exact tool just 20 years ago to discredit Christianity! As you say it’s social masterbation to be on the “side of science.” What this really is is dogma, it has nothing to do with the method of science to find out truths about the world through empiricism and experiment. Anyone who actually gives two fucks about employing the scientific method is a race realist, sex realist etc. etc.
Agreed, the magical incantation of “peer review” just means mutual masturbation.
Theoretically it would be fine if people were actually at least trying to use the method correctly. In some completely apolitical fields that can’t be commodified are fine. You should be able to “trust the experts” in a “perfect world” and those experts should be actually reviewing and critiquing each other and not just siting them as a source for jerk off points. But yeah, anything to do with sex/race can be completely discarded from modern academia. There’s just no fucking way anyone is going to be honest about shit like that in the west. Maybe Eastern Europe or Asia where they aren’t completely blinded by egalitarianism and universalism.
Not to mention: Many journals refuse to even look at any paper that could be considered controversial.
They say so themselves. - Meaning it will never even GET to peer review, because it's dismissed if it could be considered controversial.
And NIH would never fund anything that looked into a sacred cow.
The irony of appealing to authority (of the masses) as justification for science shouldn’t be ignored.
