I have read many confirmations of the crisis. Without question it's a problem physical and psychological medicine; but also social sciences to a large degree(or at least the civil war within social sciences is figuring it out). In my opinion, climate science is one of the worst.
The discussion isn't whether or not there's a crisis, it's the reasons for the crisis and what is the root cause? Which I don't believe has been answered as of yet.
Is it because we simply don't actually understand the science and perhaps sometime in the future we will actually understand it? Maybe? But why then do we allege that it's even science at this point?
Is it because of some conspiracy. For example cPTSD ought to be in the DSM, why isn't it? Because it will wipe out half the book? cPTSD better diagnoses the vast majority of personality disorders and such. How about the major breakthrough in cancer and heart disease? China, Ecuador, Mexico, etc have basically confirmed cheap highly effective cure to cancer. Seemingly no limitation on type of cancer, same cure effective for breast, renal, pancreatic. As confirmed by actual cancer organizations published by NIH.
Is it because the STEM movement has basically robbed all the good people from these fields? The people who would have been a superstar in social sciences is now an engineer?
Or my personal favourite, it's political. They write their 'study' with p=0.00005 but conclude they were correct as opposed to a null value. Then the political publications pick it up as if it were p=1
