We need to create new a social institution of Anti-Science, which would work on other stimuli correlated with the amount of refuted articles. No tenures, no long-term contracts. If anti-scientist wished to have income it would need to refute science articles.
Create a platform allowing to hold a scientific debate between scientists and anti-scientists, for a scientist had an ability to defend his/her research.
No need to do anything special to prosecute, because Science is a very competitive, and availability of refutations would be used inevitable to stop career progressions of authors of refuted articles.
- mistermann 5y agoThis seems like a pragmatic and workable idea. We could even have the same type of thing for journalism and "facts" in general, it would be a step up from the current tribal meme/propaganda war approach we rely upon.
