Psychology's Replication Crisis Is Running Out of Excuses

Another big project has found that only half of studies can be repeated. And this time, the usual explanations fall flat.

I really enjoyed skimming through this, thank you for sharing. I'll go through it in depth when I have the energy to finish it.
I'm often trying to explain the faults of coerced psychiatry when it's clearly not fail safe, turning especially involuntary psychiatry into an unethical cesspit that does more harm than good.
You can imagine the outcome, I get cut off, disagreed with and bombarded with factoids as well as insincere aphorisms masquerading as axioms basically patting themselves on their backs.

Now I can just throw this at them and leave it there without wasting my time any further.

its a bit shocking

Psychology is pretty much known as a pseudoscience or a proto-science at best. This does not surprise me. I'd venture a guess that the percentage for clinical psychology is much higher.

It is rather appalling that even supposedly well known phenomena and explanations cannot be replicated. Imagine having studied that field for years on end in good faith that it wasn't bullcrap but actual science and then reading an article like that...

I can't tell for sure if you intended to be sincere or sarcastic but my first assumption was sarcastic.
