   @hipsterelectron@circumstances.run only because other researchers had to take the time to target it, basically: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.03895

     @cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev @hipsterelectron@circumstances.run Oh, I mean, definitely, I agree, like obviously they're trying to push it and it would have worked. But it's obviously bullshit they had to. I feel like if you accept "phrenology but with a computer" you should not get to be a journal anymore because what the fuck is even the point of you being a gatekeeper if you can't keep the goddamned debunked science out?

     @aud @hipsterelectron seems like a good use of time to take that horse shit down tho.

     @aud @hipsterelectron @cthos Just suggesting anything vaguely adjacent to phrenology should be a lifetime ban from publishing in any journal or holding professorship at any university worldwide.

     @aud @hipsterelectron @cthos Our institutions should have registers of "nazi adjacent pseudosciences" and the political will to state unequivocally that reviving anything resembling them is not an option and will result in complete excommunication from academia.
