It would be nice if people didn't share neoreactionary/dark enlightenment blogs on my timeline, but apparently if they write about science they can get under people's radar undetected. Alt right ideologues slowly inserting themselves into scientific discussions is *ehem* cringe.

Listen and learn from theoreticians when they say a finding, no matter how much data, doesn't make sense. When somebody says "these data are irrelevant, the problem is that we don't understand what we are looking at" AND PROPOSES A DIFFERENT MODEL, they can't be easily ignored.

Because the geocentric model also had data supporting it was very replicable. Listen to theoreticians. That is the actual story here. That blog post de-empahsises the fact that shifts in understanding are the impetus, at least in part, to methodological changes.

And in the specific case being discussed I see no mention of those who have been questioning the findings in that whole literature for years. No mention of the word "theory" in the blog post!

Also just to be absolutely clear, this isn't the first time of course. It's been a trend for a while with this and similar posts. And it's a thing that's been happening for ages in general. But Twitter really helps to pinpoint how people just retweet stuff without thinking.
