      Science is broken. Mostly everyone in the business wants to pretend it’s going fine. @jamesheathers won’t put up with that, and has done extraordinary work to show IT’S NOT FINE. Now he’s going to build ways others can join him. I will cheerlead. https://medium.com/@jamesheathers/sometimes-progress-is-in-extremity-d309d061e0ff …pic.twitter.com/ZmcLLSlWAs

      I’m becoming more aware of this (and therefore concerned about it). Who else can I follow/read? Who else is sounding the alarm?

      Most recently I’ve been listening to Eric Weinstein, who calls attention to at least one aspect of the problem: academic consensus and the stifling of independent thought.

      Was also linked to this piece a few months ago. It has many flaws, but seems to get a lot right: http://thestoryofscience.blogspot.com/?m=0 pic.twitter.com/97e6NdRvfm

          Lots of us are coming at this from very different directions and fields, and are probably mostly only vaguely aware of each others' work. Maybe it's time to curate a compendium, coordinate a network, or start assembling new institutions. cc @patrickc

          @EricRWeinstein's discussion of "kayfabe" in science was really great, as you note! At the same time, I think the large majority of participants are unaware that it's pretending, and have never doubted they are doing actual science, because no one has explained otherwise.
