I'm skeptical that ideological diversity or lack thereof is at the root of this, since you see it in a lot of "soft science" disciplines of varying political inclinations. Political science, psychology, and economics have fairly different distributions of political viewpoints, and yet none of those fields has a strong track record of reproducibility.
- ch4s3 11y agoI'm not sure I agree either, I was just summarizing what I thought was the thesis of the article.
- oldmanjay 11y agoIf the views are diverse when viewed across all disciplines but a monoculture inside, then you've made an argument in favor of the position you're against.
- _delirium 11y agoThey aren't really a monoculture inside, though. Economics, for example, is pretty politically diverse, with economists ranging from socialist to libertarian in their political preferences, and yet still can't reproduce much.
