30 % of physics and chemistry can’t be replicated. 70 % of soft science can’t be replicated. Most of what we know about sociology may just be fake, and given that a huge foundation of progressive thought around rase, sex, and gender is based on this, this is a big problem.

at a minimum, this isn’t far off

Is this true? I left academia a long time ago, but I'd be surprised if it's that good. I'd actually suspect it's the inverse and only 30% can be replicated.

Who knows? Most science nobody attempts to replicate. The major stuff yes, but small things are not worth the cost or time.
