Get the Tertiary Research mug.The study of research itself—its methods, reporting, biases, incentives, and cultural practices. Also called "research on research," it’s the science of how science gets done (and often goes wrong). Meta-research audits disciplines for problems like publication bias, p-hacking, low statistical power, and irreproducibility. It doesn't discover new facts about the universe; it diagnoses the health of the processes we use to make those discoveries, acting as the immune system for academia.
*Example: A Meta-Research project analyzes 1,000 published psychology studies and finds that 90% of them used sample sizes too small to reliably detect the effects they were looking for. This doesn't debunk any specific psychological theory, but it casts doubt on the entire evidentiary foundation of the field, prompting a credibility crisis and reform.*

Hym "Stanford Research finds that 'Therapy' chat bots are encouraging schizophrenic delusions and suicide! SO ARE THE FUCKING YOUTUBERS! You know what... Stanford Research ALSO sent 8 perfectly mentally healthy people into a mental institution and told them to act perfectly normal. Those people were then diagnosed with bipolar personality disorder AND SCHIZOPHRENIA. And after finding out they had been duped, the mental institute asked them to send more people so they could diagnose them correctly this time. After several weeks they called Stanford to see how well they did and found that Stanford hadn't sent anyone. So, schizophrenia is already a diagnoses people can receive in the complete absence of having schizophrenia. And people are not trying to make that even harder AND the chat bots are doing it. Like, they are repeating the things I say aloud during their live streams (The Majority Report) not 30-60 seconds after I say it. So, no. Fuck you. I'm not letting you use this to convince me of anything. No orders rescinded. No apologies given or meant. You can eat a dick."

Get the Stanford Research mug.When dumb people from the hood try to act smart and make stupid experiments. The term originated from “Zias” and “Blou” on YouTube, where they would question or cast doubt on proven scientific theories, such as the speed of sound vs light, with a phone and their voice, in which they concluded sound was faster.
