TheScaryDoor, to science_memes in Roots of Mother Appalachia

The Rockies and most of the mountain ranges on the west coast were formed from the erosion of the Appalachian mountains!

What?

Basically sediment from the Appalachian region was deposited by ancient rivers and wind currents, with this sediment later being uplifted and then eroded to form the Rockies.

Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

All else I have to say is, knowing that amount of things you have to do to even measure this wave in the first place… There’s no great mystery here, it’s just “The ways we have to measure this thing are insanely shitty.”

I will die sadder than I can possibly imagine.

Tar_alcaran,

Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

Wut? I’m pretty sure this has been a derogatory term for pseudoscience since at least the early 90s. I dunno what you think the origins of the word are, but the only relation to Asian people or culture I can find are in the form of it being used to mock charlatans peddling vaguely Asian-sounding spiritual beliefs.

DrRatso,

This person can’t actually back the claim up, but they will double down on it.

HawlSera, (edited )

It was made up by James Randi, a crazy man who claimed he debunked meditation and climate change… Sure he’s also the reason no one takes Uri Geller seriously, but that’s like the ONE good thing he did…

James claimed it was based on music in sci-fi films, but the suspicious similarity to the asian phrase “Wu”, and his own contempt for Eastern Religious Practices are noteworthy.

Tar_alcaran,

He had one kerfluffle in '09 about climate change, but quickly corrected it. I can’t find the actual post, but ![scienceblogs.com/…/james-randi-stands-corrected-p](references to it) are ![discovermagazine.com/…/randi-skepticism-and-globa…](are plenty).

Nobody should be taking Uri Geller seriously, so that’s good.

The “Randi is a pedo” is from a very obviously take smear campaign that is about as real as any of the fraudsters randi debunked.

As for mediation, a massive number of the claims about it ARE fake. Randi has some very clear YouTube videos about his opinion on meditation.

It really sounds like you have a personal grudge against the guy. So now I’m wondering which of your beloved ideas he debunked, or if you simply didn’t spend the 40 minutes requires to research these claims.

HawlSera, (edited )

My argument is that him debunking Geller is a good thing, but it’s like the one good thing he did.

He’s definitely a pedo, did you completely ignore the Phone Sex Recordings?

Randi tried to explain this away as a sting operation he performed with police, but… That makes no sense since if teenagers are calling him for sex, that makes Randi look suspicious, not them, I mean how they’d even get the number.

He also served as the primary science advisor on the False Memory Foundation, which was debunked as a kiddie diddling organization and disbanded shortly after in 2019

Devouring, to science_memes in Joy

People will always optimize their methods to maximize resource gain. It’s a fact of life since the dawn of life. Even animals do this.

I’ve seen cancer researchers lie to people with dead loved ones to get funding. I’ve seen physicists do bogus experiments that yield nothing with a nice dark matter story just to get funding… it’s become marketing at this stage.

This is my problem with climate change research. Those who attempt to oppose the “narrative” never get funding. How are we supposed to claim science is unbiased when bias is what’s making the results come out?

Publish or perish.

Academic publishing is in a very weird place and is very, very political. Its true that authors have to pay to have their papers published in most journals or conferences after they’ve been accepted, but like all things academic, this is highly dependent on the field. Some universities will reimburse professors publishing costs, others need to pay out of pocket or with grant/public funding.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs, I would wager that most well known researchers would avoid such avenues of publication due to prestige. The larger journals and conferences have review boards where the top scientists in the world sit on them. As a potential published author with such an outlet, its a great honor to even be considered. Most researchers don’t want to take the risk of going with a less prestigious outlet if it will run the risk of smearing their image or damaging their ability to publish in better outlets in the future.

spiffmeister,

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There’s practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren’t getting screwed.

Let’s also not forget that you have to review other people’s papers for the journal for free.
