        Taleb can be an ass, but one thing he is correct on (and that “scientific” community has forgotten) is that most major advances in medicine, tech, etc were result of people tinkering - not ppl “doing science” by theorizing. The theorizing came after to figure out WHY it worked.

        Replying to @FormerlyFormer @MorlockP

        That said, I find Elon’s tinkering in this case to be ill-advised at best, and a potential dehumanizing abomination at worst. But I agree that the “That’s not how you do SCIENCE!” argument here is a stupid one. It most certainly is how.

        Elon agrees as he says as much in his reply to it.

        It is unfortunately common for many in academia to overweight the value of ideas & underweight bringing them to fruition. For example, the idea of going to the moon is trivial, but going to the moon is hard.

        I think the desire for peer-review is not about academic journals, but a response to the track record of… erm… excessive distance between reality and presentation and… erm… not totally unfaked results presented as data that plagues certain SiValley entrepreneurship styles. 🤯

        Replying to @josecamoessilva

        hmm I find that there's a lot more distance between claims-of-knowledge and proof-of-knowledge (as demonstrated by anything working) in academia than in the free market I see it as motivated by status claims. Academics hate people who gain status from performance IMO
