Considering all of science is having a replication crisis, you are going full flat earther, then. I really cannot overemphasize how detrimental to your argument what you just wrote is to any thinking human being. Blindly claiming all research, from literally every institution in the world, is both inaccurate and rigged somehow on a widely studied topic, is an insane claim only made when you've given up on the entire concept of rationality. You really would rather throw all of science under the bus before you let black people get an even footing in society, wouldn't you? Incredible.

STEM fields don’t have a replication crisis in the same way that humanities do. The issue in STEM fields is that essential elements to replicate (like the code) are not being published, yet the underlying science is solid enough for production technology people rely on every day to be built on it. In the humanities the replication crisis is that a significant amount of published “research” is essentially made up whole cloth. One of these things is not like the other. Also, nice edit calling me racist with zero basis. This behavior, by the way, is why this /entire/ thread exists on HN. DEI zealots will libel, slander, and insult anyone who doesn’t follow their ideology. Criticizing it, even with clear evidence, or pointing out lack of evidence supporting it is treated the same as taking the most extreme position in opposition. You’re ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself. Take a breath and reconsider your life choices.

    Your response to me is utterly uncalled for, and you continue to double down after I pointed this out. There is no point in having a discussion with you, as you are determined to straw man me, libel me, and otherwise behave in a manner which is inappropriate for HN and civil discourse generally. You know nothing about me, and your claims about me are not only wrong, they’re laughably so. I hope I never have to work with you or otherwise interact with you off the Internet, you have made it clear by your behavior here that you’re truly a horrid person. Best of luck in life.

      What's "uncalled for" about what I said? Is this an outrage copypasta you got from somewhere? You could paste what you wrote in reply to nearly any comment on this platform and it'd be about as valid. And I didn't say I knew anything about you? I said things that are true for any thinking, breathing human. Honestly, what a weird reaction. You clearly feel attacked, which I guess makes sense if you genuinely are the worst possible parts of what I wrote about (choosing to be a racist asshole rather than a person of reason), but you're opting into those designations for some reason. The things people will do to justify hatred are wild, thank you for reminding me of that.

        A collection of openly hostile remarks you've made in this thread: > shut the fuck up and take in the knowledge. > You get called racist for saying racist things; if you don’t like it, stop doing it > I really cannot overemphasize how detrimental to your argument what you just wrote is to any thinking human being. > Blindly claiming all research, from literally every institution in the world, is both inaccurate and rigged somehow on a widely studied topic, is an insane claim only made when you've given up on the entire concept of rationality. (note that the parent never made this claim, you're falsely imputing it on him) > You really would rather throw all of science under the bus before you let black people get an even footing in society, wouldn't you? Incredible. I suspect these comments likely violate even a very narrow reading of the site guidelines. Your account is relatively new, so maybe you aren't aware but you might want to take a look before mods intervene (guidelines are linked at the bottom of the page).

        (same person, different account, HN is trying to throttle me) None of those lines are in any way openly hostile, unless you fall into the worst category of what I wrote, which is the racist who is trying to find any excuse to remove black people from the conversation.
