Doesn't it worry anybody that 90% of past psychology studies have been unable to be replicated. It's called the replication crisis.

The entire field is a crock of kaka. Just quit your job and travel the earth if you want to be psychologically healthy.

It worries everyone outside of the field of psychology.

The replication crisis is probably on the forefront of the science issue, but we also have p hacking and blatant corruption.

P hacking is used to produce false results that ring statistically true. https://statisticalbullshit.com/2017/07/17/p-hacking/

corruption:

The FDA is funded by the people it regulates. https://today.uconn.edu/2021/05/why-is-the-fda-funded-in-part-by-the-companies-it-regulates-2/

Several companies have been caught paying off scientist to write fake papers Monsanto, sugar industry, the health industry, cigarettes, big oil.

The media is funded by phizer.

The whole pandemic was based on lies. We had a cure for covid the whole time. And we still have it.

Fauci should be hanging from the gallows.

I thought the replication crisis was in the UK where too many Pakistanis are reproducing

Not really since it's old news and being corrected. Yabbit doesn't like that it gets diagnosed as a sociopath over and over again.

Replicability is one of the fundamental characteristics that define science.
