https://www.experimental-history.com/p/science-is-a-strong-link-problem I got this off of here but I don't know who from. Sorry to that person.

A great article which approaches the problems of academia from a fairly specific angle - the general value of the work in the given domain, and how the competitive nature of research funding omits the best work unduly; safety nets with holes too small that catch the innovative as much as the dismal.

There's a few corollaries to this that I'm interested in - there's a sense that various groups are omitted by the same processes - gender / sexual minorities (in this context also meaning women), ethnic minorities, disabled people. Personally I could be an academic in terms of 'can read and synthesise information well' but can't because #adhd and #executiveDysfunction disable me from going through the process of applying. I'd also be really annoying as an academic, which circles back to point one - annoying academics are very important (I <3 #Feyerabend).

The scientific method:

“Already by 1970 Paul Feyerabend famously drew the radical conclusion that the only methodological principle that would not impede the progress of science is “anything goes.” Other philosophers of science have suggested, somewhat more plausibly, that there is no *constant* scientific method...or that there is no *single* scientific method” (Susan Haack, 2009, p. 87).

Über das Glück des Denkens, das mich persönlich ereilt hat. Zu meiner eigenen Überraschung und gegen meine zwischenzeitlichen Annahmen.

Ein Video darüber, dass Theoretisieren einige von uns recht glücklich machen kann, und auch darüber, unter welchen Bedingungen Theorie keinen allgemeinen, gesellschaftlichen Schaden anrichtet:

@mbbrown Instead of an intro, read _Against Method_ by #Feyerabend . That will inoculate you against much of the nonsense purveyed by pretty much all of the introductory texts. Some of Ian #Hacking 's stuff is pretty good too.
