I was watching the psych replication crisis as it unfolded on Twitter, and was deeply freaked out for more than year. Post-adjustment I am vastly more skeptical, but my feel is that much academic research has been deeply flawed for decades. Paul Meehl was saying this in the 60's.
Feynman's CIT commencement was given in 1974, too. Maybe it's just become more actionable now, somehow?

Ah, yes, the cargo cult thing. Why now? Twitter and blogs gave a channel for concerned ppl to connect. Mechanical Turk made replication much cheaper and easier. It may also be that increased competition broke down the "civility" norm which had greased the academic gravy train.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
