Show PostWhat truly grinds my gears is that climate scientist can spend 50 years building data-grounded models and need to frame their findings to avoid being called alarmist. At the same time x-risk cranks and CEOs can just pull P(doom) > 10% out of their ass and be taken seriously.
Show PostI don't understand this. 52 years later, why try and replicate the original? It's obviously not going to be the same study. The world has changed; cars, traffic, and people have changed. If one is interested in false memory, why not design the best study you can? What can you conclude meaningfully?
