Constants and Variables 165, open-source Kuhn edition
"Social" "science" is either torture or trivia. Occasionally the trivia includes an interesting fact.
Constant: This article simply repeats what every insider has known for many decades. Academia is a self-reinforcing superstar system. Kuhn said it best.
Variable: The article mentions that some countries DON'T follow Kuhn, which is a surprising observation.
It is also interesting to note that Lower Middle Income countries (LMICs) like India do not consist of many citation elites. This in turn leads to less publicity or attention on studies conducted in those countries.This fits with an oddity I've seen in the holocaust.
Only a few MDs and virologist types have dared to defend real science against the holocaust's total reversal of all logic and facts and science. MOST of those heroes have Indian names. This is true in US and Canada and Britain and Germany. I haven't been following other countries but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same there. I don't know what causes this correlation, but it's a STRONG correlation. Were scientists from India left out of the demonic circle of secrets and blackmail? Distrusted by Deepstate, or just forgotten?Doubly interesting: India is the only place where caste is OPENLY AND EXPLICITLY recognized. Every society has strict caste rules, but everyone except India hides the rules. Hidden rules are easy to manipulate. When a society runs on the vicious myth of meritocracy, high-status people can pretend that their place is justified by hard work.
