      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 knowledgehttps://twitter.com/tszzl/status/1410763963780919297?s=19 …

      if anything i think the long tail of shitty papers are outweighed by the exponential outsized impact of the really good ones

      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

      first, folk systems like common law are totally incoherent and kludged together, but have the benefit of being evolved and so end up being pretty good even if theyre completely antisystematic. some would say this is a feature not a bug

      second, folk knowledge modalities are basically adaptable and flexible and so amenable to the indexical by contrast academic systems are not only rigid but tend to become institutionalized

      so when you have a bad one on your hands not only is it bad per se but you will never be rid of it and its adherents will end up exerting power over their purported domain of expertise

      i wonder if there's something that has the same relationship to epistemic tyranny that the fast-combustion slug thrower has to political tyranny

      in the sense of, a technological development that initially had some democratizing power but ultimately presaged totalitarian regimes of such breadth and cruelty as the world had never seen?

          Whatever it was that led to the modern university bureaucracy in the first place, maybe. Internet postdates a lot of these failures.
