Effondrement de la civilisation (Pic pétrolier, Réchauffement climatique, énergie) #Collapsologie
Cette vidéo a pour but de faire découvrir et expliquer la forte possibilité d’un effondrement de notre civilisation à travers des extraits d’interviews d’experts parlant de grands phénomènes qui participent à cet effondrement. Que cela soit la pénurie de ressources, le changement climatique, le pic pétrolier, la non résilience de notre système financier et beaucoup d’autres phénomènes, il est important de comprendre que tout cela est interconnecté et « favorisera » l’effondrement de notre civilisation thermo-industrielle.

Corrupt Research: The Case for Reconceptualizing Empirical Management and Social Science
Hubbard, R. (2015). Corrupt research: The case for reconceptualizing empirical management and social science. Sage Publications.
I’m reading this great book written by Hubbard a great marketing scholar about the current NHST paradigm in research. The author is defending the idea that we are producing « unreliable science » that is absolutely useless! Summarizes lots of evidence that the pervasive use of NHTS (Null Hypothesis statistical testing) is bad practice. The author suggests another model and defends the same ideas of Geoff Cumming about the new statistics based on confidence intervals instead of p values and open science in his book of 2013 Understanding the new statistics: Effect sizes, confidence intervals, and meta-analysis. Routledge.
The book of Hubbard is a major contribution and alert toward the research community about the actual research paradigm that we can qualify as an « Ostrich politic » where publishers and academics waste ressources (time, money, effort) for advancing their careers through « fake or misleading » publications instead of seeking to change the system and to seek the truth! this is the noble objective of science, not citations, or rankings! We need a cummulative system that allows replication and integration of findings.
As expected no one is a prophet is his own country, like any established community, gatekeepers don’t like people who go against the mainstream doxa, and this book received little interest while it’s a major contribution and very urgent issue in academic research. Few are those who have the courage and honesty to say it loudly like the excellent positions taken by Barnett , or Kuntz , or Cumming ! but history will give credit to those who stood with a backbone for the truth.
I follow many groups in various disciplines, and this issue will be the TRUE CHALLENGE for the next years if we want to tackle the credibility of scientific research!

« Politique de l’autruche » : un court-métrage brillant en allégorie de notre société
« Sous la forme d’une comparaison subtile, le réalisateur libanais Mohammad HouHou interroge, dans son dernier court-métrage intitulé La politique de l’autruche, la façon dont nos sociétés se construisent autour de croyances erronées et pourtant particulièrement difficiles à remettre en cause. Il nous invite à cesser de nous voiler la face pour interroger nos convictions profondes à la lumière de la réalité. »

#Hoax: three scholars wrote 20 fake papers using fashionable jargon and what it reveals about academia! #Publish&Perish
James A. Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian, the scholars behind the hoax
Over the past 12 months, three scholars—James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian—wrote 20 fake papers using fashionable jargon to argue for ridiculous conclusions, and tried to get them placed in high-profile journals in fields including gender studies, queer studies, and fat studies. Their success rate was remarkable: By the time they took their experiment public late on Tuesday, seven of their articles had been accepted for publication by ostensibly serious peer-reviewed journals. Seven more were still going through various stages of the review process. Only six had been rejected.
We’ve been here before.
In the late 1990s, Alan Sokal, a professor of physics … read more here

In praise of Evidence Based Research: How even Top Tier university researchers are getting mistakes published & reviewers not spotting it
Professor Andrew Gelman presented at the 7th ESRC Research Methods Festival, 5-7 July 2016, University of Bath
Using previous research is important, but do we ever aknowledge that many studies even published in top journals, by top tier researchers are never replicated, contains errors of analysis not spotted by reviewers, may contain false positives or negatives (Error type I & II) but we seem to forget all of that.
In this presentation we have some examples of Pr. Gelman confirming some of the misuse or bad analysis published. The culture of publish or perish is pushing towards an abnormal rate of scientific production and quality, control and time to weight and ponder about research is no longer available. In a recent article some researchers argue and the defend the idea that we must stop producing any new research before doing what they call « evidence based research » to ensure if we have already searched ALL the previous research and stop wasting financial, human ressources and time in conducting the same research or not using systematic reviews. They published a join statement calling for a more efficient research that uses wisely the available ressources.

La tendance mondiale de demain sera à réussir l’atterrissage économique, social et politique pour éviter le crash #Demarketing
Dans un monde qui touche toutes ses limites économiques, sociales et politiques appuyées par plusieurs études et constats scientifiques, l’humanité doit amorcer une phase d’atterrissage en terme d’exploitation des ressources planétaires. Ceci passe par plusieurs leviers:
- Plus d’économie de l’expérience au lieu des loisirs ou activités axés sur les produits physiques (elearning en remplacement de campus géants, des activités de conseil en ligne au lieu de sièges coûteux, des caméras à la place de patrouilles de police, etc). Dématérialiser au maximum ce qui est à dématérialiser pour diminuer la consommation des ressources physiques.
- Plus de business models autour d’activités communes ce qui appelle à renforcer les modèles ou les rapports sociaux et la mutualisation produit de la valeur (covoiturage, co-location d’objets, etc)
- Plus de dépossession, ou les individus vont devoir ne plus posséder certaines objets ou y mettre une limite et rationalisation (nombre de voitures au foyer, nombre de logements, etc)
- Plus de local et régional qui est auto-suffisant sur les activités de bases (Santé, alimentation, sécurité). Développer un écosystème local résilient aux chocs financiers, sociaux, politiques … avoir une taille critique maîtrisable.
- etc …
Avec un tel contexte, le marketing de demain sera essentiellement autour de :
- La gestion de capacités (Yield Management)
- La SDL (service dominant logic)
- Le démarketing pour orienter certains comportements déviants pour les rendre des comportements prosociaux
- La machine sémantique à produire du rêve doit inventer de nouveaux mythes pour enchanter une autre facon de consommer au service de l’homme et non au service de la dette et du PIB

Economics Is Not Rocket Science – It’s Even More Complicated || #MarketingThema
Authored by Gary Galles via The Mises Institute,
Over the years, I have heard multiple different things described as “not rocket science.” The implication was always that rocket science was just about the hardest thing to do, making virtually everything else easy by comparison. As an economics professor over many of those years, I have increasingly come to object to that characterization. I think the questions of social coordination that economics addresses may not require “rocket science,” but are in many ways much more complex and difficult, especially when it comes to imposing control.
After all, we have successfully sent rockets to many places in our planetary neighborhood, demonstrating a tolerable ability to solve enough of the relevant problems, yet economic policies remain known for causing more harm than help.
As Peter Boettke once led off a post, “Political economy ain’t rocket science. But it is a discipline that forces one to focus on ideas and the implementation of ideas in public policies.” And the more one tries to control, the more those ideas and implementation issues stack up against the possibility, much less the probability, of effectiveness.
In one important sense, rocket science is simply vector addition of the relevant forces. And the relevant relationships for generating rockets’ thrust are governed by physical laws and relationships that are stable and mathematically expressible. That is why one website deviated from rocket science orthodoxy, under the title “Rocket science is easy; rocket engineering is hard.” The problem is one of accurately measuring the needed information and controlling the relevant forces—that is, engineering things (often with millions of parts) so that they work as intended.
