The CIA started the trend of people noticing intelligence agency subversion. Literally, the operation to create it has a name, though I can't remember it.
Which leads me to wonder how many dimensions of chess they're playing when they research psychic phenomenon. Like, are they doing that research specifically to leak so people believe they have superpowers and become complacent? That would hardly be the most retarded thing the CIA has done.
Everyone has heard about the replication crisis in science but no one seems to understand how bad it actually is.
I've seen it estimated below 25% replicable.
