@DrBrianKeating Single leading researchers as editors deciding what to do at a vastly smaller number of different journals. Does this shock you? — PolitiTweet.org

Here is my article in @ScienceMagazine. It was diluted to AVOID the conclusion we had spent 1000s of dollars from @SloanFoundation to fly me all over the country for @ASCBiology. Nothing like destroying your own findings on PR to get peer approval. Nuts. https://t.co/1ULSGidDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Lastly, if I tell editors that I am not competent or current enough to review, many tell me not to worry about it. I know my stuff. That’s why I don’t play. — PolitiTweet.org

I may still have the recordings. It was unbelievable. Slave labor admissions. Chinese grad students were called “science coolies” by more than one PI. Women in science were controlling their fertility into their late 30s to get tenure. Unbelievable interviews. Truly shocking. — PolitiTweet.org

Irony is that I am a….PEER REVIEWED author in a leading journal on this! Are you my friend? And do you know how we got this in? By destroying our actual findings!!! We recorded and sourced things that we still weren’t allowed to publish because it was potentially revolutionary. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m as serious as a heart attack on this. The situation is well known to be out of control. Replication crises. Conflicts of interests. Quid pro quos. Competency issues. Group think. Our recorded findings were so explosive we couldn’t publish them w/o watering them down. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh it is much worse than that. I am still regularly asked to referee papers in some fields where I am not competent to referee but where I have an interest. Have also recorded interviews with ASCB’s top PIs who laugh at the quality of the editors at the journals discussed. — PolitiTweet.org

Lastly, he fooled younger scientists into saying what @martinmbauer repeated. Most younger scientists have never seen earth shattering breakthroughs that dominated earlier eras and have no idea that Peer Review is not traditionally part of their fields. Madness. Thx. #MindControl — PolitiTweet.org

His business was called Pergamon Press. And by exploding the number of lower quality journals, he obligated all universities to send him a fortune in subscriptions to avoid having incomplete libraries. A scheme as ingenious as it was unethical. https://t.co/yww5dR18gF — PolitiTweet.org

Furthermore the person who may be most associated with moving all of science towards Peer Review was an unscrupulous buisness man who made a fortune hoodwinking scienitsts and universities into buying his explosion of overpriced journals. He is the father of Ghislaine Maxwell. — PolitiTweet.org

If I say "Strong High Quality Editors is the worst form of academic vetting...well....except for all the other ones ever invented. Ha ha." we are now on a level playing field. And what is more, science until 1965 was not obsessively focused on peer review...leaving a question. — PolitiTweet.org

"X is the worst form of Y...except for all the other ones ever invented!" Is a vehicle that automatically flatters the sense that we are sophisticated. It's a cognitive trap for the college educated. Smaller numbers of journals with higher quality strong editors is the solution. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree. This is true. What will you do, however if you find out this type of interpersonal warfare is all through the sciences? You’re looking at one sport in a vast Olympics of STEM hunger games. This is the just the 1st one that got your attention by upending all human life. — PolitiTweet.org

@martinmbauer Was thinking the same. But I think it is because an enormous part of the hep-th arxiv is disingenuous physics. “Sterile neutrinos from Non-commutative spacetime SUSY phenomenology over characteristic p not equal to 2.” could be a paper in a field gone mad. Or it could be a joke. — PolitiTweet.org

Bottom Line: I believe our amygdalae are being hijacked daily via social media on an issue of nuclear conflagration. Having low cost anonymous accounts flood us w/ a sense that we are socially aberrant if we don’t get the necessity of risking nuclear war may bring about that war. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an example of what happens anytime I bring up the risk of nuclear war. I am flooded with such tweets indicating I am some kind of coward/idiot/monster. I don’t believe this is all real.

@cosmicfibretion Perhaps you mean “Maybe quantum gravity is simply a (pseudo)-Riemannian formulation of the quantum.” Quantum mechanics has already been made geometric where the uncertainty relations emerge from curvature tensors on phase space line bundles. — PolitiTweet.org
