      And funnily enough CS people call this kind of work empirical, right?

      CS = compsci? No idea, haven't heard this but maybe you're right? I'm an Experimental Psychology department and have been since I left compsci for cogsci, etc, in 2009. ☺️

      For theoretical computer scientists simulations are experimental indeed. Otherwise one just derives properties analytically / by formal proof.

      I find it a little disturbing but not too surprising that a side-thread exists where modelling without data is seen as anathema/misplaced. So i'm glad we all like it in this tiny patch of the twittersphere.

      It IS disturbing ... especially in cogsci. I wonder sometimes, what went wrong since the birth of cogsci 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I mean the reasons you presented are true IMHO and I think they are close/related to what I see. I see a specific kind of cultural stagnation, the same people again and again, recycling the same or similar ideas... I see very specific biases and very specific types of people

          being promoted with others types of work and people being sidelined. I also see the rise to power of certain people. There are many aspects of our field that are indubitably corrupt. Can't speak for other fields, but they appear often more meritocratic.

          For example, in CompSci if a neural network is better than another, it is appropriately stated as such. In CogSci we have issues around what types of work we consider better. Often these hierarchies are not based on merit.

          I notice something perhaps related: that cogsci researchers often defend particular frameworks (Bayesian, connectionist, logic, heuristics, dynamicsl) and then oppose competing frameworks, rather than explore how they compare and in some cases even translate into each other.

          Also, I think we can do better in terms of cummulative research, build on each others' theoretical ideas. Not just test / pit ideas again each other. The latter is useful, sure, but sometimes other approaches are useful.

          Yes, I agree. I suppose it is a reflection of a partisan approach to science (to life for that matter), of fierce competition. Very few people choose collaboration, perhaps out of distrust, and it is one of the main problems in my opinion.

          Agreed! Especially interdisc science needs team science. Together we can see further, but incentive structure is such that being 'in charge' or 'the first' or 'the most known' etc. is rewarded/selected for.
