Pair this with the Replication Crisis and I suspect a significant percentage of "Scientific Research" performed in capitalist countries since the late 90s is fraudulent, capitalism and science mix like oil and water, only state funded and led projects like from the Cold War can be trusted to suppress the creep of profit motive
And this is just the hard science, I already also suspect most western Historiography on Socialist states and any history that touches on capitalism in general is based on fabrication and ideological conditioning, not any honest historical research
To quote the Trillbillies, we're in one hell of an epistemological crisis
Agreed, and what’s fucking baffling is that US universities have actively taken measures in the last few decades to encourage profit seeking behavior and “competition.” And I genuinely think that invalidates basically every bit of research we’ve done for years.
