"Intermediate levels of scientific knowledge are associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes towards science", Lackner et al. 2023 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01677-8
The Institute for Replication (#I4R) is collaborating with the publisher (Nature Human Behaviour) and has now produced a report on the above paper (https://osf.io/mg95t/files/mjs86 ) which is largely positive:
"LFMMG (2023) presents a computationally reproducible and largely robust finding. We re-implemented the full analytical pipeline and conducted thirty-one robustness checks with those results summarized in Table 8. There is much kudos to be given to the original authours* for making the process of replicating their work clear and worthwhile."
* typo in the original text of the report.

Lackner et al. show that individuals with an intermediate level of science knowledge tend to have overconfidence in their own knowledge and negative attitudes to science.

I wasnβt making a a comment either way. Whether the author is right or wrong wasnβt in my mind when I tooted this. It is important to be informed of the #Chinese perspective in a world that is being thrashed by a demented #POTUS. Time will tell how close he is to the unfolding events.
My personal opinion (yet to be tested, torn down and rebuilt) is that #China is not ready for #Hegemony yet, and certainly cannot get to that #Geopolitical position without a worthy adversary. Given the identifying Chinese virtue that is patience, I would not put it past #Xi to work #POTUS like #Putin has and set the #US on a course to itβs downfall (post #tRump) while helping China to take over the throne. Thus shifting from the #PRC #MultiPolarWorldOrder to a #MonopoleWorldOrder in the future. This would be a long term strategy likely to be taken by the Chinese.
Iβd better brush up on my ZhongWen (Chinese), ehβ¦
