    "requires many barriers to science"

    That's a literal word for word quote from the comment I was originally replying to. I didn't exaggerate anything.

    Is someone still publishing caliper head measurements in 2023 that you're aware of? No. Just like no one is publishing flat earth "studies" even though some idiot members of the public think that's fun right now. And no one is publishing about the aether. Who is the arbiter of what compromises junk science, if not the scientific community? The founder of SciHub is a communist. Release all the science.

        No more than you're suggesting that there are racist astronomy studies being published, even though I could choose to disingenuously represent your position with that statement.

        Racist studies need to be refuted. It's not that hard. Restricting access to all science (which I see you now notice is what that other commenter was suggesting) isn't going to magically stop racist studies from being published.

        And again, who are you suggesting should be the arbiter?

                You have utterly no idea what's even present in scientific publications. Antivax and climate change denialism are not rampant in published science. They're rampant amongst ignorant members of the public. That's not even remotely the fault of science.

                And here's a summary of the current state of race science:

                "Race does not stand up scientifically, period."

                    It's not never ending. We're very critical of the racism and sexism in medical research. And the younger generations of doctors are far more aware of it.

                    We used to butcher women in radical mastectomy surgeries and we don't do that anymore. We used to do medical experiments on black Americans without telling them and we don't do that anymore. For everything that you can point to as a current problem, I can point to another thing that used to be a problem and now has been corrected.

                    And still none of that has anything to do with physics, chemistry, materials science, geology, oceanography. You can't just say "racism impacts some sciences therefore we shouldn't do science at all"
