Don’t care and don’t believe.

Most research now seems to be pointless made up political narrative creators and little or nothing to do with real discovery.

Most cannot even be reproduced anymore and the entire peer review process is a self feeding joke.

So ya, kill it, freeze it, whatever. We need a reset and this is a good way to bring it about.

When I was a graduate student part of my funding came from NSF and part from NIH. So I was reading lots of NIH literature. The estimates in the early 90s, by the NIH, were that more than 50% of medical research results were made up (and therefore substantially more than 50% could never be replicated). That was the early 90s. No one believes it hasn’t gotten worse.

Every single research report I’ve read ALWAYS has the exact same conclusion and recommendations: “This is important work and more funding for more research is required.”
