A 7-year study of 3,900 social science papers found that only ~50% could be replicated.
There was significant variation across fields, however.
While more than 60% of political science & econ papers were replicated, only ~25% of sociology & 0% of education papers were.

none of these field are science

this is moreso the result of inviting women into the workplace
the west needs to take back control of the world
and by that i mean destroy israel, enslave nonwhites, and snap women tf out of their dream that they are equal in heart or mind to men

Here is why the variance goes against sociology (and rel fields like gender """studies""") and education
>n=(two digit number) all the fucking time
>study can't clearly define how to empirically target or phrase the question to real world situations (i.e: if an education study tries to measure "underachievement" they either use a definition so overbroad or one thats niche that doesn't actually answer the question thats important for public policy)

No shit they can't replicate. Remember kids, in the soft """sciences""", research for them, 99% of the time, is "me-search". They are essentially just opinion pieces with fluff.

I don't even think it's a conspiracy at this point. Speaking with soft science people gives me the impression that they genuinely don't understand why they above is harmful. If it corresponds with what they feel reality should be, they don't question it.

If there's no 95% reproducability, then its not science.
