Fraudulent publications in academic journals are at a flood. Science, medicine, pseudo fields like criminology, it doesn’t matter. Where publications are the coin of the realm, the universities are teeming with counterfeiters.
And then the crooks in the scum media dutifully report the fake data they like as it were the gospel.
Worth repeating.
This is scientific history, started going traction with Charles Lyell and his dark, but public motivations.
Since his work went mainstream, real thought based in truth went out the door.
Science became a self promoting mobocracy of pseudo academia.
