    Western science is currently in the middle of a complete collapse in reproducibility.

    Being able to read the study and replicate the results is kind of a critical requirement of science.

    In Western journals, about 50% of psychology studies cannot be replicated, with 20% of attempts resulting in significant results that disprove the original study’s conclusion.

    40% of medical studies were non replicable, with about 20% being directly contradicted by replication attempts.

    Only 10% of cancer studies produced the same conclusion when replicated.

    These figures are all from 10+ years ago. Before Trump. Before COVID-19.

    The Reddit sages laughed when I said investing in international and mainland China securities indexes was the future, and the only way to secure hope for retirement in the imperial core.

    History will disprove them, and soon. The Chinese century is already here.
