I don't trust people being paid by mega-corporations to write out a study/data with a conclusion that "weirdly" always tends to push for/support the profit of a product the mega-corporation is selling.

His argument that it was confirmation bias because the cultists "found evidence for their prior beliefs" (22:40) isn't unreasonable, though. If you believe what your cult leaders tell you about the flood, and you have two pieces of information, 1) the flood didn't happen on the day it was expected to, and 2) the Guardians "delayed" the flood, you can come to either one of two conclusions: 1) the cult leaders were lying and the flood isn't coming or 2) the flood has been delayed but is still coming. Confirmation bias is going to make you gravitate towards believing the second piece of information because it conforms to what you believe: that the flood will happen.

It's like the sub-concious bias tests, that are purely designed around attitudes of attractiveness or fear of the black people (I got a positive bias toward black people, simply cos I find black women more attractive, but that doesn't relative to whether I am prejudice.. maybe I want to wipe out black genes by inter-breeding?)

Contrary to popular western belief, ignorance is not bliss, greed is not good & outsourcing own intellect to ideological grifters, on our little black mirrors is not free will. This sh*t show will continue as long as there's a brow beaten audience, bedazzled by bilious bags of blustering bullsh*t! Whe looking for a leader, we get off our knees & look in the mirror. Everything we are looking for is already within us. The way out is to go within.✌

As a fan of Retraction Watch much of this is not new to me. However I did find it slightly amusing that the narrator put up the Retraction Watch Leaderboard and specifically said that Stapel sits in 7th place.He then circles Stapel's name, which is preceded by a figure that the Indian and Arab mathematicians have devised for us and it looks surprisingly like an EIGHT. Good thing I didn't fall for that " seventh place" nonsense! Also,as someone who was somewhat familiar with the fraught history of "priming" I was glad that the skepticism I had while watching the presentation was rewarded when the narrator admitted to the multiple lies/misrepresentations he had strewn throughout his presentation. An EXCELLENT video!!(except for the word "seventh" being symbolized by either a 90-degree rotated infinity,or,as we refer to it in New Jersey, an EIGHT!)

There's another factor...the awareness of entropy...that things decay and die, that far from mankind creating a better world it all seems to be going awry...that something is wrong. This awareness leads to anxiety and attempts to cope, a kind of mass PTSD. Finding a way to cope that is constructive not destructive is the challenge.

[@nelkosme3734]

Honestly, I don't believe anything psychologists say. I think it is psychology with the lowest percentage of replicability, very often with such small samples that make you think "The subjects were hand-picked". And sadly it also influences pedagogy so some very ridiculous ideas were incorporated there making me subsequently lose confidence in pedagogy as well.

[@alihenderson5910]

Psychology is THE most important science. Applied correctly it trumps all the rest. The last four years should have told you that.

Isn't modern society built on confirmation bias, aka trust? Who'd want to go through life distrusting any interaction, and how expensive would that distrust be? Of course, if that trust is abused too often people will change and society will change.

[@eh1702]

You’re right that society in general would collapse, as it does sometimes (eg in DR Congo, or Somalia) when people can’t even trust each other to do business, and when money itself isn’t trusted because people can't trust the system it’s based on. Commerce is trust based. Scientific publication is not meant to be based on trust, though. It is meant to be based on describing with precision and detail how you did your work - so that anyone else can try it out for themselves. Other researchers in other places should (a) be able to examine all of your data and analyse it independently. And / or (b) They should be able to follow the steps you say you took, do the experiment you say you did and see whether they get the same results. But in the last two decades, especially with online publication, this has collapsed. This is a bit different in different countries. In the west, a very, very few gigantic publishing houses have a stranglehold on publication - often public funded research, which is sold right back to students by charging universities and individuals thousands per year for maybe four issues a year. And they even get the papers peer-reviewed for free. The problem is that many peer reviewers now know they won’t get published any more themselves if they reject a paper. And since they get nothing for it anyway, many are completely unwilling to actually scrutinize the data or check statistics themselves. FDC Willard recently got an AI written physics paper that was absolute gobbledygook published in a “serious” journal. “Co-authored” by his owner. Willard is a cat. In China right now, there is just so much being published, and academic success is so required, that there’s an AI industry churning out fake research by the library-load. This is becoming dangerous in the fields like chemistry and medicine. This is because the modern model of education worldwide has become commercial: students pay a lot of money, they lose eight or ten years of lifetime earnings and end up with debt: so their doctoral thesis must succeed at all costs. Nothing can be admitted to have gone wrong. (The test samples that get destroyed because someone unplugged the fridge; the questionnaire that had leading questions; the call for volunteer subjects that nobody volunteered for.) Or just results that are nothing like expected, that seem nonsensical and that nobody can properly explain except “We must have effed up.” Or results that make your hypothesis, your grand idea that you’ve worked on for years…, vanish So they fake it.

Psychology is a soft science. It needs much more rigor than other sciences for that reason. His statue was the reason he wasn’t questioned. Pharmaceutical and other corporate research also need to be more rigorous because the potential financial gain can incentivize questionable research practices. The more private funding involved, the more oversight necessary.

[@alihenderson5910]

Any official oversight can be bought, you can only trust your own judgement. It has served me well, especially in the last four years. Just be prepared to be called all sorts of ridiculous things.
