Editing Peer Review (section)

Peer review is a relatively [https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/information-culture/the-birth-of-modern-peer-review/ new form] of gatekeeping used by the [[Distributed Idea Suppression Complex|DISC]] to suppress ideas. It functions to keep out bad ideas and amplify good ideas. Like any human process, it fails in its function at times. It sometimes amplifies bad ideas such as those exposed by the Grievance Studies Hoax. It sometimes suppresses important ideas such as those discussed in [[19: Bret Weinstein - The Prediction and the DISC|The Portal Episode 19]].

Criticisms of the peer-review crisis include the ad hominem nature of the review, the appeal to authority, the selection bias, the confirmation bias and the replication crisis.
