gollark: The Chinese remainder theorem?
gollark: Immediately undergo exponentiation modulo 7, then.
gollark: I do not understand that sentence ("The alternative is work a political method for political reason.") and it is not pizza, I have had no commercial relations with pizza companies, I am not paid to subliminally advertise pizza, etc.
gollark: I guess maybe in politics/economics/sociology the alternative is something like "lean on human intuition" or "make the correct behaviour magically resolve from self-interest". Not sure how well those actually work.
gollark: - the replication crisis does exist, but it's not like *every paper* has a 50% chance of being wrong - it's mostly in some fields and you can generally estimate which things won't replicate fairly well without much specialized knowledge- scienceā„¢ agrees on lots of things, just not some highly politicized things- you *can* do RCTs and correlation studies and such, which they seem to be ignoring- some objectivity is better than none- sure, much of pop science is not great, but that doesn't invalidate... all science- they complain about running things based on "trial and error and guesswork", but then don't offer any alternative
