It would appear true "scientists" are people like good old Red Green, and most everybody else is in it just to stay in academia and live off grants.

Mostly affects areas of the social sciences.

Who would've known that surveys and qualitative interviews are very prone to manipulation by the researcher? The methodology of survey based research is just flawed. Often such research isn't research at all and very limited in what you can find out and conclude from.

Though on /sci/ most I assume are in the natural sciences not in the social sciences where I wouldn't be surprised if 90% in there was bogus. Nobody could really catch you anyway if you were to produce bogus.

You don't need to worry. It only affects social sciences and some parts of medicine and biology and chemistry.

It's extremely pronounced in sociology and psychology though. It just so much happens that the latter gave us the various junk science that only laymen are obsessed with (Such as IQ and MBTI).

Arguing with creationists, I think.
A lot of people have an idea of science where every idea is equally open to challenge at every point in time. It's as if we're equally likely to find out tomorrow that the details of the big bang and the fact the Earth orbits the Sun are wrong.

peer review is usually done by another agency. You can't do your same experiment twice and claim you peer reviewed yourself. Space programs are usually government funded and since America has just the one, yes another nation would need to get involved.

Unless Elon can get his shit together, which will never happen. Elon is a dot com boomer, in that he got rich in the dot com boom/rush and has since used brute force/lotta cash as a business strategy. I don't think he's very business savvy. He just has a lot of weight to throw around cause he got lucky one time and became rich.

Who are you quoting? He said the act of walking on the moon itself isn't science, which is correct. The original retard was trying to make a terrible argument by implying that the moon landings some how never happened because they're "not reproducible", which is obviously a bogus argument. The actual science that made the moon landings possible (propulsion, materials, batteries etc) are all testable here on Earth and are reproducible.

Sometimes they have all the right material but all the wrong things. You can read research but they never go into too much detail as to what they are using they just describe its state but not quality. Like generic vs name brand.
