Social science/psycology departments world wide are doing their best work today, given the amount of data pouring in.
Give it time and don't focus too much on the doom and gloom crowd. The solutions never come from that crowd. I find following the work of actual ecologists, social scientists and psychologists a source of much more hope these days.

- kodz4 8y ago:) part of doing good work is calling out bullshit from the past. Think of it as a Martin Luther moment for them.
- jdietrich 8y agoThe quantity of bullshit is increasing, unfortunately. Replication still represents only a tiny proportion of research. We're making new bullshit faster than we're finding old bullshit.
- kodz4 8y agoheheh...it does feels like that, when you pay attention to what everyone is upto and try to keep up with everything. But all that is not necessary if you are clear about what your interests are. Over time, it's not hard to tell who is interested in the work and who is interested in themselves.
- moneytide1 8y agoI can see it now. A study shows some interesting results and potential patterns - BAM post it on all the social media outlets ASAP and court whatever grant money reward there may be. No reason to verify via replication, the results are here in front of us. "Look I found something, where's my treat?"
