Frauds who listen to their press clippings.

I went to the article and another article that was referenced and I didn’t see anything about the specific journals where this occurred.

And this is why we pray, unceasingly, for the Divine Assistance and intervention in these especially dark days.

So should everybody, and that's one reason why God lets it get so damned dark. To make it super obvious that He really is the only answer.

This answers the age-old question of whether the world is run by wise men bluffing or idiots who really mean it.

wrote in the John Maynard Keynes post about the hollowness and “fakeness” of Western civilization today. In case you didn’t see it, KD had a post up a few days ago about so-called “peer reviewed” scientific journals and how they are nothing of the sort. Utterly fake articles made by automatic word generators that literally string random polysyllabic words together into sentence structures – in other words, NONSENSE – are being regularly published in these journals. An investigative study found over 120 such articles over the past few years.

“Peer reviewed” science and academia is a LIE. Papers are published and certified as “peer reviewed” that have literally never been read by ANYONE, including the editors of the scientific journals.

Really?

Where are these articles? References, please.

I realize that to the layperson, the articles that we scientists write and publish may seem like utter gibberish, but that is only because we are writing in a very technical language that took us years to learn. Like any language, if you don't know scientific jargon, it sounds like nonsense, but that does not mean it is nonsense to those who understand it.

I read peer-reviewed scientific publications every day. I have yet to find one that is nonsense.

Here’s the article referenced by the KD article she references:

The nonsense does not happen in every journal or every science. I have been a reviewer several times and I can assure you that I read each paper.

I will reject incremental papers reporting merely on progress, weak science papers, papers written so the department head will fund a trip to Hawaii (If that’s where the conference is), and papers I simply cannot understand or that don’t seem to be science papers. Papers I can’t understand I’ll usually toss to someone else in case my lack of understanding is rooted in ignorance.

I’ll need to see some examples of nonsense machine-written papers.

Then there is the Turbo Encabulator, which I encourage you all to look up. Also see Journal of Irreproducible Results.

This is not shocking.

I began working in labs while still in college in the early 1970s. The truth was held in high regard, even if it indicated undesired results/conclusions.

Things have changed in the last 20 years. I have seen an increased willingness to create false data, false numbers, and just plain lie. Between this, and the ineptitude in labs (companies cheerfully hire the unskilled and untrained to work in labs--these people know where the on/off switch is but have NO understanding of what they are doing but they do work cheap!) I cannot trust what I see coming out of labs any longer without going over things very carefully.

  Maybe they will publish my paper: Conceptualizing The Algorithmic Mental Model: An Introductory Guide to Complex Multi-Dimensional Semi-Permeable Modes of Transmission Wave Guides

“They act. They play offense. But more importantly, YOU DON’T. Yes, they play dirty and we can’t. But the root problem isn’t that they are beating us by playing dirty. The root problem is that we aren’t playing at all. We are fielding no team whatsoever – not even a clean offense. We aren’t even on the field. We are all over on the sidelines curled into the fetal position, eyes shut tight, trying desperately to rock ourselves to sleep – while a team of five slobbering fools marches uncontested down the field over and over again in a game of 11 man football. So yes, a cadre of frauds and imbeciles can absolutely roll over an entire civilization IF and ONLY IF the civilization is so weak and whipped, so steeped in an effeminate desire to deny reality and avoid confrontation (aka, “be nice”), that the said civilization will surrender itself to said frauds and imbeciles to avoid any sort of masculine confrontation of reality, much less the execution of bold corrective action.”

I totally agree.

Ann sounds like another Ayn Rand - a Catholic one.

Here’s another fun “generator” - quite realistic.

Enjoy.

I have read of people who love to go before scientific conferences and spout nonsense couched in polysyllabic terms of no meaning and the attendees nod in agreement because they really are not paying attention.

Circling around the drain and still refusing to look up to Christ.
