I'm not sure how HN feels about posting links; but you can google: grit "replication crisis"

It's not just "grit" - it's the entire field of "TED-Talk-headlining applied psychology [allegedly] based in research."

Absolutely infuriating.

I see, I know what you are getting at here. I stay away from TED talks specifically because I know those lack substance.

Thanks for the guidance, I will read more about this.

Lacking substance is one thing.

I'm talking about cynically spreading misinformation for personal financial gain - that's next level <insert favorite cussword here>.
