Scientist How-to and Study Assessment

  I can read a scientific headline or abstract and instantly tell whether it will replicate. As a bonus, I can tell that science journalists are lying about the science. If it were a study it wouldn't replicate, but the feel is distinct.

 When you look at a study, you can feel its fate. You can learn which feelings mean it replicates, and which feelings mean it doesn't.

 Every professional scientist can do this. To put it crudely, before they seek funding, they imagine a series of hypothetical study abstracts, then choose one based on whether it replicates or not. The real scientists (lost losers) choose the ones that replicate. The ones that get paid the big bucks deliberately avoid studies which replicate.

 Does society need studies at all? No. Soyciety needs studies to tell the real scientists apart from the professional liars. But it's soyciety, so it explicitly selects against the honest scientists. "This one is poolitically advantageous, but it would replicate...can't have that..." A study which replicates is nothing but a shackle to a poolitical operative. Cripples their ability to adjust their strategy.

 Do you need studies? No. You can learn to feel their fates, then do the abstract selection thing consciously and intentionally. There's no need to get funding and so on.
 
 How do you get the right answer? By wanting the right answer. If you can decide to be a kenner, then success is guaranteed. You can learn scientific doomcasting, and do it the easy way. Simply know in advance. Free will is an iron law.

 Which means anyone who doesn't know the Truth has explicitly chosen to avoid it. You can and should bully them mercilessly. If you consider yourself human, they are not. Stupidity is a choice. They have renounced their humanity and have earned all the contempt you might expect. Respecting them is a sin. They don't even want you to. 

 You can deny the above, but if so, it means I'm some kind of world-crushing intellect which makes socrates look like a googly-eyed children's toy. Decision theory is: do whatever Alrenous tells you to do. After I'm dead, your options are get boned, or get fucked.
 I mean, if you really want to commit to that, I won't stop you. However, valve figured out my management style without asking me. So did haier. Re: conquest #1. In C1 areas, musk spends a lot of time doing what I would tell him to do. The evidence is that there's endless wealth for them what wants it. Both financial and mental poverty are engaged in voluntarily.

 I suppose there is one use for studies. As a training aid. When you're feeling insecure about your call, you can get more secure by actually running the studies. These kinds of studies are gut-bustingly inexpensive, though. Not useful at all for government graft.

 I also like the idea of televised live study duels. Find two scientists with opposing views, have a pre-season where they functionally pre-register the study, then commentate the publication reveal like it's the bloody WWF. My favourite part would be watching both of them lose more than 50% of the time. Perhaps they could animate the metaphorical fight where both fighters end up dismembered; the [losing] guy uses his last limb to stab the other one in the heart, then bleeds out.
 Studies are useless scientifically, but would be highly entertaining as sport. 

 "But alrenous, what about when journalists tell the truth about science?"
 "There's a fundamental flaw in your question."
