    The world has it, it’s just in the hands of meta, google, and ms.

    Outside of that, the social ‘sciences’ are basically a joke because they in almost no ways rely on a scientific approach to research. It’s mostly virtue signaling and trendchasing while trying to pretend that coming up with a new word for an old idea is novelty. The fact is that the ss existing approach to research doesn’t result in reproducible results and is basically microscopic in its impact.

    Most ss researchers think they are some kind of revolutionary when they are in fact luddites.
