- drb91 8y agoNah, I think you’re missing the point that you can google “bullshit psych studies” and get pages of results. This isn’t an indictment of science, this is an indictment of journals and academia today. Had this registration been in effect 300 years ago, Newton/Darwin would still be fine.

- goto11 8y agoDarwin was lucky that Wallace came to the same theory independently but contacted Darwin for feedback. This forced Darwin to publish his own results. If Wallace hadn't contacted Darwin before publishing, Darwin would probably be an unknown today.
