      @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.
