"The tiny percentage of subjects that rise to the level of public policy discussion end up being so extensively investigated that reproduction of results is essentially guaranteed."

I really don't think this is true.

Ideas are war in politics, and so the truth generally is the first casualty.

Golly I wish bureaucrats would pay more attention to the nuances of science.

Science is not politics, nor should it change in response to political forces.

The root problem is not that science has changed, but that you’re seeing political attacks on science.

Instead we get a PR campaign to put an self-described unstable 16yo who can “literally see invisible CO2” on the world stage frowning and yelling about stolen childhood.

I have no hopes for political reforms to actually look at nuance while this nonsense seems to work.
