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

so much! I have a billion questions about kinks - where do they form? nature vs nurture? how do they interact with gender and orientation? how do we ensure more reliable reporting on kinks? wanna test all the stereotypes about kinks and personality.
