ivy league psychologists will put out a survey that requires participants to access the internet three times a day and be like.. is this statistical bias?
state funding of the sciences could be making studies more accessible
The trouble with corporate funding of science is that there is no accountability
They can afford the lawsuit if the data is wrong
Ethical science reporting should be skeptical
but is the publisher transparent about their vetting processes?
does public education allow the viewer to understand it?
the whole point of accredited education is that it standardizes knowledge
privitization prevents knowledge from being accessible and functions as a class barrier
when knowledge is a commodity to be sold
there becomes an interest in restricting access
how can anyone advocate for themselves when their options are unknown?

transparency and accessibility are the heart n bones of healthy regulation

critical thought is an invaluable tool against agents of minunderstanding
scientific literacy isn't the memorization of the periodic table or knowing the order of the planets
its a steady scalpel to reality, accounting for infinite variables, the ascertainment of truth
a lot of people are bad at recognizing logical fallacies
even though some people memorize them as a tool of dismissing their opponents
while failing to critically examine their own personal assumptions

i wonder how effective it would be if kids proofchecked their own papers and suggested a grade to indicate their confidence in their work. if they're concerned about performing poorly, why? is their self-image grounded in reality? do they care?
I think very few children struggle in school because of some innate unsurpassable shortcoming. Unattended emotional needs, financial strain, unreliable access to essential resources in addition to unrealistic expectations in work assignments
school requires labour from its students
wealthy students outsource labour
private tutors streamline studying
test results are bribed & plagiarized
a lot of "genius" is just Wealth
certification alone is an appeal to authority
