      I'm currently halfway through filling out a table describing in horrifying detail a regression that has no practical implications

      why do we need non-bootstraped confidence bounds on irrelevant interactions on a robustness check? I dunno that's what scientists do right

      p sure this paper exists to justify an ongoing grant guess it's good to document that work was done, but no reason to publish these results

      I think what's especially disconcerting is that this is happening in a field most people wouldn't immediately identify as a sick discipline.

      It's not obviously politicized and its phenomena have large and direct consequences for concrete human welfare. EA would love it in theory.

      And the PI is very smart and capable. But: the incentive structure is such that somehow I'm churning out huge tables no one will *ever* read

      This isn't an isolated problem. I'm also remembering my undergraduate work in a neuroscience lab studying auditory learning in songbirds.

      The PI there was *incredible* but she spent most of her time writing bullshit grants justifying her work w/ handwaving about songbird . . .

      . . . learning as a good model for humans. [narrator] analogues of zebra finch auditory learning structures are not present in human brains

          Last I heard she quit and became the Chief Science Officer of a startup somewhere. This seems like a vastly better use of her talents tbqh.

          Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, there's lately a lot of (justified, imo) criticism of humanities and their ideology-driven hollowing
