Recall this study where over half of "gold standard" peer-reviewed studies were FRAUDULENT!

 

People really need to be more concerned about this. So many people think AI is going to help solve aging. There is no way that is going to happen if way over half of studies are junk, non-reproducible, and/or fraudulent. The "answers" we get from AI are going to be junk and/or harmful.

 

It's not that concerning, because artificial superintelligence will already know about that stuff and will tell researchers the right experiments to perform or conduct those experiments itself. It could also point out which theoretical approach (like SENS) has the best chance of solving aging.

Here is another article about the topic that no one wants to talk about. Fewer than 20% of retractions in scientific papers are due to "honest" mistakes! Over 10,000 papers per year are retracted. The majority of health/cancer/nutrition/medical research is junk, yet everyone keeps pretending like it is all perfect - every paper.

Fraud is becoming more rampant in medical research. No wonder we have no progress in rejuvenation treatments. The majority of studies over the last few decades are not-reproducible, erroneous, poorly designed, or outright fraudulent.

I know no one wants to talk about it, but this is a HUGE problem.

 

Here is another example of a fraudulent study that launched an industry (antidepressants, SSRI's, benzos) to treat mental ailments. Thousands upon thousands of people have suffered from these meds without getting "cured". Thousands committed suicide as a side effects of these drugs.

 

It was all junk science. Big pharma got rich, though.

 

Statins don't cure anything - but made big-pharma rich.

 

The mRNA injections don't prevent you from getting COVID (actually increase your risk of getting COVID and have a lot of serious side effects) - but made big pharma rich.
