🗑️ 🧵 This board is absolute shit.

Anonymous No. 16261086

Something has to be done about this board's extreme decline into an unusable state. Not only are a huge proportion of the threads off-topic, most are filled with posts completely hostile to any discussion of science and math.
You can get a better discussion on /sci/-related topics on almost any other board. Almost all knowledgeable posters have either left, or are drowned in endless posts about "X being fake" or "Y isn't real." The board has been absolutely ruined.
The /mg/ threads were cleaned up somewhat during their absolute worst point a few years ago when high schoolers were doing this, so all I'm suggesting is something be done for the rest of the board too.

Per site rules, boards are allowed a thread to talk about board issues.

No, /sci/ was not always like this. This isn't just a result of being on 4chan and something to be expected. The site has had an enormous drop in quality over the past few years. Other boards remain at least somewhat usable. You can get better discussion of most /sci/-related topics on /g/, for example. On the other hand, /sci/ has almost every single thread nowadays derailed by enormous amounts of spam claiming "physics is fake," or "why are scientists lying about (((insert irrelevant topic here)))."

The problem is, how do we define politics? The Lab Leak Hypothesis is clearly a biological claim about the origins of COVID, but anytime someone posts about the topic, all the woke leftists on the board start sperging out about muh disinformation and muh conspiracy theories and muh poltards. The people who ruined this board are all the woke leftists who constantly complain about muh poltards and muh Russian disinformation. The people who complain about muh pol content just want to label any topics they don't like - the Replication Crisis, the Lab Leak Hypothesis, Greenwashing, endocrine disruptors, etc. - as "political" and then use that as a pretext to ban any of that discussion on sci. This is completely retarded because these are some of the biggest topics in science in recent yerars. Anyone who is unwilling to discuss something like the replication crisis or the lab leak hypothesis is """anti-science""", to use the woke leftists own words. The replication crisis and the commercialization and commodification of contemporary scientific research is one of the biggest problems in the history of science, and anyone unwilling to discuss the topic possess an existential threat to the future of science.

>>16261193
This. The woke leftists answer to everything is always to scream about Putin or Hamas or white nationalism and then ban anyone with any opposing positions. Even if it's a completely unrelated topic. You could be talking about endocrine disruptors in plastics and how microplastics are flooding our environment, thereby increasing cancer rates and causing people to troon out, and the woke leftist will just randomly bring up Hamas or Trump or Putin or something and accuse you of being an "antisemitic conspiracy theorist". It's literal delusional non-sequiters and paranoid blabbering.

scientists are controlled by politics, and the sooner you come to accept this, the sooner you can get the stick out of your ass and understand the harder you fight, the stronger the dissent becomes. NSF funding? political. DOE funding? political. all grant writing is political. you need to use the right buzzwords at the right time and if you succeed in following the zeitgeist, the government happily throws money away by funding your meaningless research that you know is meaningless. and if you want to continue receiving funding, keep following the zeitgeist by publishing the correct results. good way to get citations, pass peer review, and get tenure! after receiving tenure, no need to do research anymore with dying universities. go ahead and nuke your own thread in embarrassment so people don't see this post. you can't have science without politics, and that's the fact of the world.

People are either naive when they claim "i want just science" not realizing its all been co-opted by politics on all levels.

Pics related, the most prestigious scientific journal. Not just co-opted by politics but a brazen display of flaunting because they just dont care that you only want science, they want you to have politics and have you've consumed over the last decades are politics, not science. The science of gender ideology is pure political propaganda. The climate change science is political propaganda. The science of vaccine? Anti trump politics.

Half bakes truths caked with political ideology is all that is. The sooner people understand this, the better we can prune out real politics from science rather than people pointing out its politics.

I agree that there are a lot of genuine schizos on sci and 4chan more generally, and these people often draw outlandish conclusions, and they butt their heads into any sort of conversation about these topics, but the same could be said for the normies. I do see schizos talking about vaccines and mass die offs and vaccine induced AIDS and other non-sense like that, but I also see a lot of normies who as soon as one of these topics comes up starts talking about Bill Gates microchips and how people are "spreading disinformation". It's not the schizos who dominate the online conversation, and it's not the schizos who control the narrative. Most of the time, it's the woke leftist types redirecting the conversation towards politics. Even if schizos are over-represented on 4chan, that is not the case in the rest of the media, and nevertheless people are not talking about these issues in other public spaces or in the mainstream media. Your argument doesn't really hold up, because if the normies and pro-censorship folks are willing to discuss these issues, and they're just sick and tired of the poltard schizos dragging down the conversation, then they just be discussing these topics on channels like MSNBC and on sites Reddit, where they don't have to worry about poltards.

A lot of the republican grifter types just talk endlessly about the vaccine and the supposed terrible side effects, but by the same toke all the woke leftists talk endlessly about disinformation and about this supposed "Bill Gates microchip conspiracy theory" that I've never actually heard anyone defend. I've heard woke leftists talk endlesxsly about the Bill Gates microchip conspiracy theory, but I haven't actually heard anyone seriously defending it. I think its just a strawman. Neither the left nor the right want a rational discussion about COVId.

Not arguing against you and sure as hell not defending the guy you are arguing with, but science doesn't have to be p2p. Learn about physics and the history of science, come up with physics experiments, do experiments like they did in the 1800s. People think science is so advanced now that there are no experiments left that don't require million dollar equipment but fuck that, modern science builds on relativity which is a hoax so we need to backtrack all the way to the early 1900s and build up from there.

Okay maybe we are arguing different points. You are arguing about the scientific mainstream system and you are very right about it. My point is you can separate yourself from the scientific/academic system and still do science. Fixing or rebuilding the scientific system is not the only path to good science. The other path is the path the greatest scientists in history took on the 1700s-early 1900s: Do the science independently or with just a handful of other passionate legitimate scientists, dont try to do it within the system4

Remember Mr Science is responsible for the death of millions of people world wide. He pushed the funding, research and spread of it. First by giving funding to his EcoHealth Alliance partner Dr Peter Daszik. Then by having EcoHealth work with China because it was made illegal in the US. Then by covering up the origins of the virus. Then by lying about the efficacy of the vaccines. Then by lying about natural immunity. Then by lying about 6 feet mandate. Then by lying about school shutdowns, factory shutdown, work shutdowns.

I believe many of the recent sciences are built on a houses of card due to incompetent people allowed into positions they shouldn't be in. we need a correction in science. maybe something like treating all sciences done in the last 20 years as didn't nonexistent, pretending they don't exist, except for results that has been replicated. wipe them all out like that maybe then the plate will be clean enough to start again.

Thats the state of science today and has been for few decades. There's direct evidence provided. And its not just refusal to accept that is just showing how brainwashed you are but not even wanting to look at it and react in a visceral way shows the scars.

I can almost guarantee you all the leddit posts here are taught by DEI hires and have brainwashed them into the DEI cult.

The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species of the family Felidae. Recent advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC. It is commonly kept as a house pet and farm cat, but also ranges freely as a feral cat avoiding human contact. It is valued by humans for companionship and its ability to kill vermin. Its retractable claws are adapted to killing small prey like mice and rats. It has a strong, flexible body, quick reflexes, and sharp teeth, and its night vision and sense of smell are well developed. It is a social species, but a solitary hunter and a crepuscular predator. Cat communication includes vocalizations like meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting as well as cat body language. It can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by small mammals. It secretes and perceives pheromones.

The damage done by the DEI hires is whats leading to confusing politics with science and confusing correctly identifying this problem and steer back to what science was as politics. The brainwashing is such deep that they cant seem to tell whats up from down, whats woman from man, whats right from wrong.

We can discuss politics on the board for politics, which already exists. Here, this is off topic.
>DEI hires
I previously would have been on your side and am in an academic position. But you insist on ruining discussion of things I enjoy by making yourself insufferable for people who share most of your political opinions, by refusing to allow us to have a space to discuss the topics we like. So now I think you people need to go. It's off-topic, and there is already a space for you elsewhere.

Thats reddit. You want a censored board that only caters to your political ideology. Thats that.

I keep saying this again and again. You need to go back. If you want to discuss science in open manner thats /sci/. You have to live with the fact that people dont want your politics just as much as you dont want them pointing out your politics. Its simple.

While there is an obvious gray area where some discussion of policies and funding and culture issues in academia and research can be considered on-topic, it's generally very obvious when a thread or post is made in good faith with this kind of productive discussion in mind, and when a thread or post is just meant to be more of the usual /pol/ shit-flinging. Nobody going into a thread discussing news developments in commercial spaceflight and dumping flat earth spam is trying to have a productive discussion. A thread where the OP is a screenshot of a twitter post reacting to a news story about some teacher molesting a kid in their science class is not trying to start a high effort intellectual debate about the quality of science educators in America. Etc. etc. etc.

By their own admission, the people spamming this stuff are doing it to deliberately disrupt productive threads. They're not doing it because their attempts at making good conversation are being misunderstood, or because they're all repressed and censored geniuses... they're doing it because they're assholes.

Thats the state of reality we live in. The scientific institutions have gone full speed on degrading the quality of the scientific works by injecting politics into the works on all levels. People making fun of the consequences of this is to be expected.

It wasn't always like this. People used to respect scientific institutions a lot before the splintering happened due to rapid political injection over the last decade. If you look at the yearly polls and map the change in trust over scientific institutions, higher ed, etc. The loss of trust/respect happened at the same time when the institutions started played politics.

>people are disrupting productive threads
If they are creating their own, who are they disrupting? If they're spamming legitimate threads, then thats ofcourse spam disruption. But trying to claim its all disruption as a means to silence discussion on the state of science/scientific field thats been controlled by politics, criticism of these is just another personal political itch.

Productive threads naturally rise to the top as they produce more content and vibrant discussions so they will always outnumber the unproductive ones, so there's no need for any enforcement other than someone spamming gore/politics directly inside real productive threads.

Simply disagreeing with something is contrarianism, pointing out actual flaws or inconsistencies with a model is skepticism.
ex. Arguing that models based on dark matter have problems is skepticism, it's a model that has some evidence in its favor, but also a lot of holes that have yet to be filled. Debating it without acknowledging any of the things the model gets right is disingenuous, but debating whether other things could explain the things it gets right while filling in the gaps in the model is certainly fair game.
ex. Arguing that quantum physics is wrong because you don't like it or relativity is wrong because you saw a Family Guy cutaway gag 20 years ago is just being a contrarian faggot.

Top lel. Once again it turns out most of the shitposting on /sci/ is done by one butthurt undergrad who in his illusionary larp as an intellectually superior professor of calculus became disappointed with the fact that /sci/ is not as pop sci-ishly entertaining as his beloved reddit. Keep this pathetic person and his desperate butthurt in mind when you see his next pseudopolitical spam thread. Let's all hope he finds a gf soon.

The problem is people going off topic. If the subject is something like the US space flight industry then politics surrounding space flight are bound to come up (this is usually fine as long as it's on topic and relevant to space flight)

If the subject of another thread is discussing mathematics (like math general) then randomly bringing up political shit is off topic posting. Then you have the thread subjects themselves that are off topic to the board "Why is science so fake and fucking gay?". Those should just be banned immediately as shitposting.
