What Would We Do Without Peer Review?

Retraction Watch;

The paper, “Ontology, Neutrality and the Strive for (non-)Being-Queer,” attributed to Benedetta Tripodi of the Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza in Romania, is apparently the work of two academics, who submitted the absurd article to Badiou Studies to expose its lack of rigor in accepting papers.
Just a quick look at some of the text of the fake paper exposes its peculiarities.

  1. I reject this paper due to the lack of intersectionality in it’s examination of the ontology
    with regard to the multiplicities of fluidity of the mediator in gendering.

  2. These stories highlight at least one huge correlation between science and religion.
    The second there is any money to be had, beware the fraudsters and charlatans coming immediately to the surface to feed.

  3. This is the natural progression of leftist ‘science’ as once you consider everything as morally relevant things quickly become factually irrelevant.

  4. As another commentator alluded to, if you can’t tell the difference between what passes nowadays for “serious” academic work and flimflam, there isn’t one.

  5. My hyperthesis contends that “peer review” and “group-think” are one and the same.

  6. After reading the highlighted text, in the article, I found I could see myself, through my very own eyes.
    For, by the time I reached the end….. my eyes were crossed.

  7. Brandolini’s Law: “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.”

  8. Kinda like modern art, only different, butt still emanated from the same orifice of the bull!

  9. I consider myself fairly well-educated, and of above-average intellect, however, I could scarcely make out anything resembling a coherent thought in that long rambling narrative. To think that so much time, productivity, and money goes into financing similarly nonsensical “scholarship” (read: AGW) is depressing. We are certainly in need of a good old fashioned plague or famine … and my 2096money is on Izlam delivering said disaster.

  10. That’s odd. Based upon the articles,I would have said the huge correlation was between leftist politics and science.

  11. That’s odd. I clearly stated…. “These stories highlight AT LEAST one huge correlation between…”
    Gee T,C., do ya honestly believe there can’t be more than one big comparison to be made on a topic so vast? Don’t you think it’s possible BOTH our points are valid? Maybe you should consider your very own blog, that way you can freely censor all the opinions that you don’t want to hear.
    In 2016, I find the similarities between many who wear ceremonial robes and many who wear lab coats to be quite striking. So sue me.
