i mean no disrespect to aella but researching sex is pointless and people should instead figure out sex gnosis

wanna start an actually-good sex research institute that isn't bound by academia and also helps teach people how to interpret research for themselves, how should I go about getting funding?

i am in a state of utter dispair that so many brilliant people have completely bought into the meme that you can learn things by producing papers. has no one learned anything from the past hundred years? no of course not because no one has written a paper about it apparently

my concern is that bad papers are not worth zero, or even that when they are bad their net value is equal to their (negative) gross value. rather bad papers displace entire bodies of functional antecedent knowledge

this is especially dire when shitty papers (eg the entire body of psychology) displace a folk system rather than a different set of academic knowledge for two reasons
