In general- it's an aristocracy. Money comes down from heaven, so the incentive is to cater to each other and the gods. The result is open corruption, office politics, egotism, and other petty horseshit pretty much instantly.

Fields with practical applications tend to be much more resistant, because at some point somebody has to actually transplant a liver or get a rocket into orbit, but it's not immune. Especially if nobody in charge really cares how many patients die or rockets fail to launch. Fields where nobody actually does anything are entirely composed of this from Day 1, because it makes literally no difference what you spew from a practical standpoint, so power games are all that's left.

For China specifically- communism absolutely disintegrates social cohesion and morality, and that lasts for generations afterwards. Russia is still built almost entirely out of bullshit and corruption, and it's been a noncommunist police state for decades. China is still basically communist, despite numerous concessions to reality, and so it's renowned for the absolute lack of fucks its people give about each other.

this isn't true. there were two nobel prizes in medicine at top 3-5 institutions in the US caught committing repeating scientific fraud just the last year.
scientific fraud have been widespread for awhile. it's just now we have the tool to start catching a (small) portion of them.

This is the real issue. The physical sciences are cruel and unforgiving, and the rate at which novel ideas can be discovered is fundamentally incompatible with the jewish work structure of weekly deadlines and having to pay off goyberg's monthly rent.

Yup. People don't realize that data corruption happens here in huge amounts as well. I worked for a small nutra/pharmaceutical company some years ago and we'd send shit to Cameroon for trials. When data didn't come back with the desired outcome they would make calls and tell them to "run it again." Then, magically, the results would become more favorable in almost all cases.

One difference is that in West people don't just corrupt certain data points they've also become masters at using statistics to manipulate people and lie. It's not just limited to fields of science either but all mediums of business that have statistical reporting.

There's a book titled "How to Lie With Statistics," by Darrell Huff.
Here's a free copy from Internet Archive. It's only like 70 pages but a good read. It even made Bill Gates' "recommended books." That figures, right?
https://archive.org/details/HowToLieWithStatistics_201608

Here's the description:
>Have you ever wondered how the people who publish statistics so often turn up numbers that support their position? Sometimes, the numbers really do support the person or group publishing them, but statistics aren’t as objective as we might like to believe.

>In How to Lie With Statistics, author Darrell Huff explains how people with agendas manipulate figures and how they’re presented to create statistics that support their views. You’ll learn how to spot shady sampling and graphs that are technically accurate but visually misleading. You’ll also learn why suspiciously precise numbers really are suspicious. Finally, you’ll learn about a quick questionnaire you can use to evaluate the legitimacy of any statistic you’re presented with.

I doubt anyone is nerdy enough to care, but still worth sharing.

It's a ripe environment for scams because as long as you produce something kinda plausible-looking there's a decently high probability it will just go through because it would take too many resources to deboonk you

Atheism is what powers fraud. Christian scientists do experiments in order to further understand God's creation and they are happy with whatever results they get. Atheists do experiments looking for a predetermined result and have no issue with lying if they don't get the desired result. There is no prohibition against lying for atheists, only Christians believe that dishonesty is immoral

Scicence has ALWAYS been full of frauds, misinformation, and people fudging their data. It only seems to have increased because the number of people with science degrees have increased as have the number of publications. The sheer mass of stuff being published has overburdened the peer review system, meaning fuck ups are almost never detected unless they are blatant. In the 19th century or early 20th cen. you only had a handful of journals for any given field while today there are hundreds, not to mention bot generated articles. Scientists have found that letting this continue is much better for their careers. Publish or perish culture leads to cut throat competition, so poor review processes are great because they allow you to reduce the quality of your work or put out flimsy papers to pad out your resume. Corporations and politicians often want a specific scientific opinion so they have a vested interest in fudging data or hiring scientists specifically tasked to fudge data.

>Fields with practical applications tend to be much more resistant
See the Macchiarini scandal. That guy was a star surgeon at University College London, one of Europe's most prestigious colleges part of England's version of the Ivy League. Despite his theories being absolute junk, nobody lifted a finger untill a dozen patients wound up dying in his human experiments.

Somehow related:
I chose to be an engineer (aerospace) instead of a scientist (planned on either astronomy, astrophysics or physics) because of how much of a detached, paper mill bullshit modern science has become. No place to be in if one wants to actually do something meaningful.
Even the few scientists that I know that are actually doing something worthwhile also have to make bullshit papers that are just rehashes of their previous ones so that they can fulfill the quota and get money for actual research.

Scientists would be happy to work in a place they feel is secure, their presence is respected, and the funding (as far as their reasonable imagination can reach) is limitless. The current paper mill set up would be the exact opposite of this ideal environment.
If people are losing British pilots and scientists (no matter how small the number) to the PRC, there is a reason for it. Entrenched interests insisting on some form of plantation minority enlightened rule vs. majority niggers, which is a throwback to 18the century way of doing things, is why we are losing our edge and the society becomes more and more degenerate until actual productive members leave for greener pastures.
This can happen in any groups and institutions, not just academia.

>Ernest Jones, in 1913, was the first to construe extreme narcissism, which he called the "God-complex", as a character flaw. He described people with God-complex as being aloof, self-important, overconfident, auto-erotic, inaccessible, self-admiring, and exhibitionistic, with fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience. He observed that these people had a high need for uniqueness.
