'headlines' are not the 'result's.
You should always take media 'headlines' about science with a grain of salt.
Not just for social sciences, but for dark matter, string theory, everything.
The replication crisis is bit overblown because the 'right' want to use that to drive their own more 'biblical' view of the world. By sowing doubt about all science, like done with cigarettes.
Social sciences do replicate at rate over 50%. That is long way from nothing replicating. Sorry 50% isn't good enough, it isn't like string theory is replicating, and nobody is getting out pitch forks.

- tourmalinetaco 3y agoIt should be noted the ‘left’ also wants to use this in order to drive their own worldviews. They are both sides of the same coin after all.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoFalse equivalence. The Left has an agenda, sure. The Right believe they are gods chosen and are fighting a holy war. The Right believe they are being directed by GOD. Their soul will be tortured for all eternity if they don't fight a war on earth following the will of God. How do you argue a factual point with someone that is basing their decision on being directed by the god of the entire universe. Basically the modern Christian Right, is fighting their own Jihad. We just don't have a good word like that to describe it. So, I would disagree they are two sides of the same coin. The left is maybe skewing some statistics, while the Right is ready to kill people for their god (checkout how many mass shootings are based on Right Talking points).
