Farcical 'Research' Repeatedly Gets Through Peer Review Process

In this video I discuss a series of 7 completely ridiculous, fake "research papers" that were peer reviewed and accepted for publication in academic journals. The 3 academics who wrote these papers did it to prove the point that papers which support popular narratives and "reach the right conclusions" can be published no matter how shoddy and ludicrous the research methodology was.

From "Fat Body Building" to "Rape Culture in Urban Dog Parks" to plagiarizing Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf and updating it with "fashionable buzzwords", these academics illustrated the problems with today's peer review process in cultural studies journals.

This is a major contributor to the general mistrust the population has in "experts".

Michael Mann's "research" on global warming & his now famous hockey stick graph were peer reviewed. After being forced to release his "proprietary algorithms" & "proprietary database" nobody could reproduce his results. The UN's vaunted IPCC used his research in their climate policy document for several years after it was debunked, maybe cuz the graph was just too cute.

Prestigious medical journals like The Lancet or The NEJM charge a ninimum of USD 2.500 to The authors to publish them...

Thanks for this video. This needs a lot more attention than what it gets.

Thanks for the presentation of this information - this is a blight on the scientific community and provides justification for people to be very skeptical about claims by scientists.

Wonder who will be the first person in teach an AI Chatbot to search for and identify potentially false or weak papers in peered reviewed journals? Or patents? Or copyrighted books?

Very good. Thanks for researching and sharing!

Peer review exists ONLY to protect the STATUS QUO, and to propogate their preferred NARRATIVE

[AaronThinks]

Unfortunately this idea of a poor peer review process in social science research is unjistly being applied to the hard sciences.

While there is always room for improvement, and bad scientific studies get published, the hard sciences have greater rigor in their ability to weed out bad science.

Hilarious. And sad. Thanks for sharing!

More people should do useful work, like planting potatoes.

“Why do people distrust crt and DEI advocates”

I thought the basis of science was reproducibility, no idea how "peer review" has become the accepted standard of what qualifies as scientific.

I posted the following 8 months ago think it was just a funny story. I expected to get totally bashed by the T-Bully Cult for posting it, but so far I have 2200 likes and 500 comments that are 99% positive. Here’s my post. Enjoy.
*** Yeah, my 14 year old cousin got in with a group of girls who all decided that they were suddenly “Trans”. We knew that they all did it to be cool, she thought it would drive her mom crazy in my view… she thought wrong. 
When she told her mother that she was Trans, my aunt responded with, “Really? So am I. We can do it together.”
My cousin thought that she was kidding and that she was just mocking her….and then, the next morning came. When she came downstairs, her mom was dressed in her father’s clothes and had dyed her hair with the same pink and blue stripes as her daughter’s. And guess who was driving her to school? Mom.
My cousin was horrified. She kept giving her mom all the reasons as to why she was NOT Trans!!! My aunt said if my cousin was Trans, she must be too. She was a tomboy as a teen, so, yup, she must be Trans. My cousin was the one who was driven crazy. Poor muffin.
My cousin forgot her lunch that day, so… my aunt had to take it to the school. When she got there, she called my cousin to the office to get it. When my cousin got to the office, there she was, sporting a glue on little French moustache and a fancy new man’s hair cut…. My cousin was mortified.
There were 7 girls all together, all friends that claimed to be Trans at the same time, so…my aunt called all of their moms, and one Dad, and convinced them all to do the exact same things…they all dressed as the opposite sex and claimed to be Trans just like their daughters which flabbergasted the girls. For weeks the girls gave the parents all the reasons that they could muster for WHY they were NOT Trans.
The school even got involved and called my aunt accusing her of being Transphobic, and told her that they would take action against her and the other parents for mocking their girls if they didn’t stop. Well…. my aunt’s response was, “HOW DARE YOU MIS-GENDER ME?!!!? IT’S SIR!!! I’ll bet the media would love to hear how the school’s administrators were being so Transphobic, !!” Not another word was said to her, and…she made them apologize to her in writing.
By the end of it, the girls did a whole bunch of research on transgenderism to prove that their parents could NOT BE TRANS just because they say so. The result was that they convinced themselves that NOBODY was Trans including themselves. They were quite proud of themselves for “thinking” that they convinced their parents that they weren’t Trans, but the parents were even prouder that the girls learned to think for themselves. .
Thankfully the girls all ended up seeing the foolishness of the Trans Bully Cult ideology and ALL of them are now dead against those who try to indoctrinate and groom children into being trans. They figured out what the school was really doing and started calling them out on it, as it should be.

Even after the girls rejected the school’s indoctrination practices, the school still tried to convince the girls that they were Trans. After they denounced the whole thing as a social contagion it was still pushed on them by 2 of their teachers and the school councillor who actively met with them “in secret” excluding the parents and still tried to covertly convince them that they were trans. How irresponsible is that? The good thing is that the girls did tell their parents and they were able to get the school councillor fired for blatantly trying to indoctrinate the girls.
The girls had recorded their interactions with the councillor and filed the complaint themselves to the school board. Once the board heard the discussions, they were worried about it getting out to the media, so they agreed to fire the councillor as long as the girls wouldn’t go public. But everyone in the school knew about it, kids don’t keep secrets for long. All the kids found out what had happened, the good thing is that a few of the other kids that were being groomed by the counsellor who told them that they were trans, realized that they were being groomed too. Trans is no longer “cool” in that school.
I thought that this story was pretty funny….what a great idea to make these girls see the nonsense of this T-Bully Cult ideology.
