The moment an empire turns on science is the moment it signals its irredeemable collapse.
@Omega_Haxors yeah having ethical standards for consent is not that. If anything it's the opposite.
I actually do think US/west hegemony is declining but I don't see having rigorous research standards as an indication of it.
Read closer. These aren't genuine grievances, it's just right-wingers being racist. Good faith does not come from conspiracy theories.
I'm afraid Ockham's razor leads me to a very different conclusion when it comes to a 2-year investigation by a Wiley journal. YMMV.
