In which Adam Mastroianni argues that psychology is so poorly theorised than even outright fraud by hyperprolific research stars has causes no loss to our collective knowledge - almost like 100s of papers with 10,000s of citations don't represent true knowledge anyway"The plane crashed and nobody checked the bodies", he says in a memorable phrase. Meaning, "everyone knows that many studies don't replicate, but exactly which ones doesn't seem to matter"https://www.experimental-history.com/p/im-so-sorry-for-psychologys-loss1/

I don't entirely believe this take...not ...entirely!Also, I couldn't shake the image of the plane of popular psychology research crashing into the sea, while a sturdy raft made of signal-detection theory carries a band of ragged psychophysicists across the oceans of ignorance. As the plane hits the surface of the water and is consumed they turn to look, but only briefly, before resuming their indefatigable paddling2/

@clive it feels like the kind of dream where you can't look behind something, or however you move you're only seeing it from the same perspective

@hildabast @PLOS excellent. Love the quote "“I’m going back to the Fediverse. Back to Mastodon. To the nerds, the hobbyists, the idealists. The people who don’t talk about reach, but about relevance. To those who understand that decentralization isn’t nostalgic, it’s the future. That digital sovereignty isn’t a gimmick, it’s a survival strategy."
