-Eric has very strong opinions about peer review. We should probably expand on that here.
+Peer review is a relatively new form of [[gate-keeping]] used by the [[D.I.S.C.]] 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 [[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]].
