There are lots of issues with publishers and complicated aspects of it, but the core rot of even that is the way universities set up their promotion metrics around them and the grant incentives for the kind of work you publish. My god man! We can't have our Gandalf wasting his cycles on the village idiot! Just respond as most of us do using one of his own templates. Example: [type of governance] is a [quality descriptive] that will [vague prognostication of social outcome], [fragment of another sentence that has nothing to do with the first sentence] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The western history would have you believe that modernity was a miracle big bang, not a series of events. But whatever, ruling class and all. Personally, I have found that unogueen’s posts read much better if put through a cockney translator, observe: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which revolves around the cachet for the faculty. And suddenly people don't want to talk about the whole industry that grew out of a likely decades old lie.

There is a petition by the Stop the Censorship Coalition, who says "After the start of the World Trade Center crisis, publishers of scholarly journals for scientists and other experts embarked on a campaign of censorship of the scientific evidence of global warming and even labeled scientists who published their work as frauds. Their campaigns went well beyond the usual anti-skeptical concerns, targeting the evidence as fraudulent and actively hiding or refusing to publish such research. They made their papers appear in the very journals that had tried to suppress them and then used the open-access journals that emerged after the Great Recession as a convenient marketing tool. If you're wondering why the Alzheimer's Association doesn't claim to fight Alzheimer's disease you might want to ask R. L. Spook, Ph.D., and Dr. John Payne. Both men have researched the disease and found it to be a fraud. They've joined a consortium of 20 researchers who filed suit in 2011 against the Alzheimer's Association for its deceptive marketing and lying about the disease. It makes no sense to me that the best qualified people can't be in charge of a disease because of funding from people with vested interests.

Frankly, you don't have a grasp on the problems with the current systems and how we got here. You should do less bad mind reading and more understanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
