If you disagree with an article, just explain why in the comments. Shutting down discussion of it does not enlighten those who may be in the wrong.
I think that this article is quite valuable and relevant and cites specific examples of how groupthink is harming science and learning in universities.
There's a reproducibility crisis in science and part of it is because unpopular research like negative findings or a study that can't reproduce another study don't get published.
The problem gets much worse whenever you touch on any politically sensitive issues.
- ok_dad 5y agoMy point was that this isn't appropriate for HN, it's more appropriate for specific Reddit communities, Facebook, Twitter, or the like. Thanks for replying in a rational and polite way, though, since often these topics cause comments to become very contentious. I'm done in here though, I prefer the more interesting conversations and this topic is like a dead horse.
