Oh please someone read this paper. Anyone! Anyone with a heartbeat please read this paper. Here.
The assholes at Elsevier put it behind a paywall but here's a preprint you can share with anyone else who has a heartbeat.
Please for the love of God. Anyone read this!!!

@jascha it's the whole point of science.
The friction occurs because of who funds studies, etc. And that can be legitimate.
But science itself is just science.
Every conversation I have had where I encountered this, I made that point. And it sticks.
There is bias in some aspects of what is *presented* as science.
But that's not science.
Science is not marketing. So I point to that.
@knowprose @jascha one of the reasons we founded BIML was to do science unencumbered by marketing pressure #MLsec

@noplasticshower @jascha One of the many reasons I follow you.
My own writing tends toward the same thing, but I am not a scientist. I just follow coherence. It takes me to interesting places.

@jascha They sure sound enthusiastic on https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks

@knowprose @jascha Thank you for that. Attention is all we need...LOL

@jascha
Reminds me of that jokeChild to his biologist dad:
"Dad what's an electron?"Dad: "Why don't you ask your mom, she's the physicist, electrons are her wheelworks."
Child: "But I don't want to know *that* much about it."

@noplasticshower @jascha It's a marathon, that's for sure.
The Distraction economy keeps the good stuff out of people's heads. Been writing about that, though data sovereignty has been the more prominent thing in the past week. Wrapping that up today on knowprose.com.

If anything, scientists are wary of telling you because they know you’ll take whatever they say to the most illogical conclusion. -

@jascha they put all their shit online and are begging you to engage with their ideas, if you can credibly disprove something they will change their theories because of you!

@jascha @chirpbirb they also tend to want to talk about what they *don't* know
@OctaviaConAmore @jascha @chirpbirb very chatty!

@jascha while I agree that it is indeed an overly generalist statement, I don’t think you should dismiss everything someone says after they made a possible mistake.
Physicians often don’t want you to know about metaphysics. Biologists often don’t want you to know about endogenetics. Computer scientists don’t want you to understand quantum computers.
Scientists are people like everyone else, and they too will often deny what you say based on bias or pass you off like a hot potato.

Not exactly, for example, medical research is riddled with misogyny. The bias towards white males in scientific studies does lead to conclusions which are incorrectly applied to the whole of humanity.

@jascha Yes, this is exactly why I became a scientist

@GutterPoetry @jascha That is a valid issue.
That is a science issue but it is a blind spot that is being addressed.
I'll give you an example.
My father was in a diabetic coma, but he had no ketones in his urine. Why? He was East Indian. The medicine around that has changed.
Not misogyny. Misogyny requires intent. Medicine has been biased toward white males. No question. But I won't say every doctor who built it hated women. That seems extreme.
Some did. Maybe many. But not all.

@GutterPoetry @jascha So to follow up and be clear...
Has there been misogyny in medicine? Yes.
Is all medicine misogynistic? No.
Nuance.

@jascha Scientists don't want you to know why scientists don't want you to know.
(but yes, you are accurate, scientists have an insessent need to let you know what they know. )

Scientists generally want you to know, the people that finance their work on the other hand? It depends on how marketable is the discovery -

That's a bit like saying "Nine out of ten dentists... leaves one dentist."

@anatomical_normalcy @RogerBW @jascha you don't need to debunk flat earth. It's perfectly fine, you'll just have to deal with a horrible geometry and a lot of additional assumptions to compensate for your shitty model 🧚
Aaand: as a local approximation it's killer
