i wish more people would start threads like this more often. we are currently living through the golden age of scientific fraud. the sheet number of scientific scandals in the last 10 years all but invalidates modern science. we can start with the fact that 90% of published research is not reproducible. numerous instances of plagiarism and countless cases of primary investigators on scientific studies completely just making up data. we have cases like alzheimer's where the fundamental theory that has been used for treatment for the past 20 years has been completely bunk. you can't even keep track of how many cases of fraud happen in pharmaceutical studies. psychology has basically been proven to be pseudoscience. we have physicists whose primary interpretation of reality is literally "just don't think about it". it's absolutely fucking absurd.
