    See, replication isn’t a problem if your entire field is vibes-based. A lot of economics papers I come across are like that (so much so that I am close to writing off the entire decipline as unscientific). The diff in the level of rigour you would see in e.g. particle physics versus in economics is baffling.

    It used to be psychology as well but I am noticing they are more than aware of their replication crisis lately. Whereas economics feels pseudoscience with a maths clothing.








  • It has happened to me a few times, and one of them I can share.

    When I was negotiating for a new job, it was all email, until I asked whether it’ll always be work from home (this was during the pandemic). Instead of an email reply, I get a call and the HR tells me it should be work from home always.

    Fast forward, the pandemic is “over” and people are now being called over to work. My contract is worded ambiguously enough for the company to defend this “order”. I realise if the earlier conversation was an email, I would have a case for myself that I never agreed to this (not that I would go the judicial route, but still).
