Florida professor leaves $190,000-a-year job following claim he faked data on racism studies

[ttwtt78640]

There is nothing more complex than human behavior. I'm not sure we'll ever fully understand it. You can design controlled experiments to subtract out other varibles, but nothing tells you what those varibles are or if you caught all of them. People tend to use Occam's Razor when when they're too intellectually lazy to figure it out or the results already jive with their preconceived beliefs. I probally do that myself. As I mentioned the real problem is when people use these questionable results to drive policy or when the ignore their own observations and common sense and let others do their thinking.

It’s often simply the lack of other data to be analyzed. When claims are made about drunk or impaired driving causing ‘far too many’ traffic ‘accidents’, that’s simply because other forms (causes?) of ‘distracted‘ or ‘careless’ driving are nearly impossible to detect (using physical evidence) after the fact.

Florida professor leaves $190,000-a-year job following claim he faked data on racism studies

“The data were also altered — intentionally or unintentionally — in other ways, and those alterations produced the article’s main findings,” Pickett wrote in his reque…

Yup, falsifying data because these people are not honorable researchers, but activists trying to advance their own woke agenda. Science has become politicized, all thanks to libs.

The woke culture is diseased.

The good news is that there are plenty of job openings in FL for him.

Florida combats colossal teacher shortage

Teachers told Newsweek that low pay and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' policies and rhetoric are driving more and more of their colleagues to quit.

Using doctored data to create a specific result is a symptom of the disease

What does this have to do with 'woke culture'? For that matter, what the hell is 'woke culture'?

What's your problem? He was shown to be a fraud and run out of town. By liberals. Everyone associated with a university is a liberal, right?
No, wait, I get it! This isn't about ideology for you, it's about complexion! You think this guy's race is the reason he lied!
Finally decided to stop pretending and come out of the closet, huh?

He’s not the only one …….

 

[PoS]

Was that English?

So you take ESL classes. Good to know.

Only $190,000?

His photograph portrays a gentleman who seems to deserve at least $1,000,000 a year.

"Racism" is a lucrative racket for a lot of people. (Just ask that reverend on MSNBC!)

Yeah, I bet Rachel Maddow is calling him up right now begging him to host a show there.

Why do you read that paper? The front page is filled with trash. Do you not feel the brain cells dying as you scroll down?

Why does it matter to you what the source is? Oh right, you cant refute the story so you shoot the messenger. Typcial lib.

For a minute, it sounded like you were talking about Fox News. I wonder when they'll start retracting and firing those activist celebrities they highlight every night on primetime

Oh, so you got nothing to say about this story then. I always knew you'd cover up for liars by your deflections. Keep being you.

Aww, youre mad because one of your lying propagandists got caught. Cope harder.

It's a hoot how some "liberals" demonize the Daily Mail website.

It embarrasses a lot of American "liberals" because it publishes a lot of American crime stories (plus photographs of the perps!!!) that most American sources studiously ignore.

Remember this? Was just yesterday.

Why is it some people's first reaction to pick apart the OP and not read the thread or do their own research about what happened?

 

[Simon W. Moon]

You obviously failed to read the article, nor did you read the quotes I made.

"Pickett claimed his complaint was ignored by the university for months, and it was only after four more complaints were made against Stewart’s other studies focusing on race that the school launched a committee to look into the matter."

"Although Pickett declined to comment on the latest investigation against his colleague, he claimed that researchers have an incentive to publish studies and face little repercussions."

Oh look, a strawman! Typical woke tactic.


There's no irony when a wokeist who knows nothing about Libertarianism acts like he's an expert on it.

You're upset w/ Florida's University HR for taking so long?


Do you think FU's HR should have worked at the same speed as the publications which retracted the fraudster work?


Should FU's HR work at the same speed as the US House of Reps' GOP caucus when it comes to getting rid of fraudsters?

 

[Grand Mal]

Yeah yeah, and if he were white this wouldn't be on your radar screen. The story wouldn't have landed in your in-box if the guy were white.
A liar got caught by liberals and got bounced by liberals but he was black so it's impossible for you to ignore.
You're not even pretending anymore.

Wow.

Context, context, context.

I suspect this quickly heading toward a silly last worditis interaction so enjoy my gift of the last word. It's not surrender or running away. It's just boredom.

Im not upset about anything, in fact Im happy that these wokeists are exposed for the frauds they are. Im sure theres even more of them hidden in the woodwork.

Yeah yeah, and if he were white this wouldn't be on your radar screen. The story wouldn't have landed in your in-box if the guy were white.

LOL there are plenty of white wokeists, and theyre a lot like you.

Again, wow.

Shows his desperation on the subject matter since he can never come up with an intelligent rebuttal.

Agree gratuitously tossing the race card is the clearest sign of the lack of a valid argument.

 

[Common Sense 1]

How many professors have you met, other than changing their oil?

You mean the stupid professors who have no idea how to change oil in their car?
Or do any simple maintenance to their vehicle?

Who get $190,000 a year to teach for a couple hours and leave all the work for the student teachers. Who live in their Ivory towers and preach how smart they are.
That professor? ?

Funny how FOX News the #1 cable news program for about 20 years is a big fat burr under so many saddles here at DP!
Everyday the lefty's are crying about that mean old fox.

If they would just hold to journalistic standards, I wouldn't have a problem with them.
