Joe Rogan with Terrence Howard and Eric Weinstein

you're not getting a peer review from me I know a lot more than you do about a lot of this stuff you're getting an Elite review and my Elite review says that a lot of this is bath water but a small amount of this is baby and that's not available anywhere it's not available in a university it's not available in a journey in a journal that's available on The Joe Rogan Experience and you know Neil's right uh if what you want is peer review you should go to a journal and they will laugh you out they will take one look at your email address and if it doesn't end in.edu I promise you you're not going to get hurt I don't think Neil degrass Tyson actually knows the history of peer review this is Google engrams and it tracks how often a phrase is found in the Corpus of English language books published in the world peer review basically begins in the mid1 1960s now there were various forms of review editors uh in particular were very distinguished individuals who were chosen to not peer review things to Simply take a look at things and see who should be published and who should be not can we bring that back up more or less from what I can piece together gilain Maxwell's father who started per pergamon press um destroyed Jeffrey Epstein's G correct he he figured out how to destroy science and make a fortune by blowing out the number of journals uh and forcing every University to subscribe to every Journal that he could figure out how to publish because to not subscribe to all of the journals required an admission that you had an incomplete Library so he diluted the quality of the editorship of the leading journals this was a group a very informal High quality Enterprise now most of the destruction of Science in terms of how high quality it used to be has taken place relatively recently post Robert Maxwell because now we have an enormous number of journals staffed by people who can't spot publication cartels where we agree to site each other's work and we agree to publish stuff you know pay for play all of the nonsense that you see with irreducible irreproducible research comes after this peer review thing the peerreview thing got woven in so that people think that the scientific method in peer review are effectively the same thing where one is an unwanted infection from the biological biomedical Universe which had peer review much longer than everything else Neil is giving you a very cursory back of the hand brush off okay I felt it all right a
