No. Science is simply STUDYING the world around you. It's literally just a PROCESS. There's no "trust" involved in what actual science is, but there IS curiosity and exploration and tearing at previously held beliefs... but there isn't, in what you/most people call "science" when they put the word "trust" in there. I don't trust people being paid by mega-corporations to write out a study/data with a conclusion that "weirdly" always tends to push for/support the profit of a product the mega-corporation is selling.

His argument that it was confirmation bias because the cultists "found evidence for their prior beliefs" (22:40) isn't unreasonable, though. If you believe what your cult leaders tell you about the flood, and you have two pieces of information, 1) the flood didn't happen on the day it was expected to, and 2) the Guardians "delayed" the flood, you can come to either one of two conclusions: 1) the cult leaders were lying and the flood isn't coming or 2) the flood has been delayed but is still coming. Confirmation bias is going to make you gravitate towards believing the second piece of information because it conforms to what you believe: that the flood will happen.

You can see the point if you have to choose among three cups the one that contains an object and the one person moving them tells you: "what is fastest, the hand or the eye?" Probably your eyes will follow the hands and not the cup that contains the object because you heard the word "hands". You can't control their hands and you will forget to keep your eyes in the right cup because you are following their hands instead of the cup.
This is all too common. The lying and machinations in academia and those who are prone to sociopathy/ASPS and other mental health issues, (self delusion, hubris and arrogance, fraud, deceit, etc.) in the field of behavioral science is extremely high. Those that enter the field are problematic to begin with; some are unconsciously trying to harness their lack of a conscience and learn to control/manipulate others, a handful desire to understand their problematic histories and behaviors and others seek to avoid their problems by projecting onto/"diagnosing" others. Many of the worst, most messed up and manipulative people are in the field of behavioral health. Trust none of them!
I think that psychologists in academia that are in business or marketing dept are a curious bunch. Ariely and some of the others are social psychologists doing psychology research but not in a psych dept? Why?
Researchers who do peer review of drug company sponsored trials don’t get access to the raw data. All they get is the drug company’s analysis of that data, which leaves the door wide open for manipulation and obfuscation.
Never believe anyone just because he looks confident - that's actually one more reason to be watchful and wary! Never hesistate to ask questions or challenge someone's "authority" or "well estabilished facts" ... no ... what is true is true, it will take the pressure. If it's bullshit it falls apart sooner or later.
What about those people who naturally question everything. What is different about them? I was brought up in what many regard as a cult, but I questioned it from young childhood and left it in my early teens.
I would describe that as being intellectually curious. Everyone is naturally curious as a child. Kids ask “why” questions all the time. They think philosophical thoughts. Most conform and stop asking as the parents and society tell them to shut up. Some of us find a reward in searching for truth. Some find it as a chore so avoid it
The stupid things people will believe. I've had employers who believe that, if their employees sign a declaration to do or not do something, their risks/accidents will go down. If you check the numbers, it didn't make a difference, yet the company clings to this practice like a child to a blankey. SMH.
This study was done by Francesca gino. A psychologist who faked like 50 studies and now is being investigated. She was a super star once. Watch videos about her and send them to your boss. She faked that study
@jeaniebird999 I felt the same. I was like "I don't have a garden". When he explained the link between the colour orange and the Easter bunny I was like "Not ringing any bells. That's supposed to be a link" 😂😂
Shocking! A profession based on talking to people for years with questionable results. Say it ain’t so. 😅 It’s more of a woo-woo profession than a lot of people think in my opinion.
Even the education they get at degree level is woolly and questionably scientific. It's not surprising students follow in the footsteps of their mentors and don't apply rigorous approaches. An example is even in the video.. the conclusion that not wanting to sit next to a black person when there is rubbish around is 'racist' is so loaded. It's like the sub-concious bias tests, that are purely designed around attitudes of attractiveness or fear of the black people (I got a positive bias toward black people, simply cos I find black women more attractive, but that doesn't relative to whether I am prejudice.. maybe I want to wipe out black genes by inter-breeding?) Anyway, social scientists often use social science to back their own political (or otherwise) prejudices. Needs to be FAR more rigorous and objective in approach.
It's a good profession, clinical psych, and it does help many, many people. But there just aren't many people who are capable of doing it competently. It isn't just a matter of training, there's a necessary disposition. And the limits on what can generally be accomplished are much narrower than the industry promotion wants us to believe. If we had more and better mental health services much of the bad behavior at the clinical level would get shaken out.
Actually ebt covers seeds and edible plants. That’s how I started my garden. Now I’m 1% of people with ebt that did that. But it’s possible. I was a container Gardner. 40$ of soil cheap plastic bins will do ya right.
It is not post-modern, however. It is social scientists trying to use statistics and experiments as if they are within the hard sciences. They are so eager to have numbers so that what they do seem scientific that they make stuff up. This has nothing to do with post-modern critical theory at all.
Even if the data were real, the conclusions don't follow from the claimed results. There was no control group mentioned. The lies were completely _illogical._ Yet nobody objected. And you still don't object, while making this video(at least not by 9:40 when I stop watching.) But none of that is shocking in the least.
I think any intelligent person would conclude that people just don't like to sit near garbage, and that the color or the person sited next to it, was irrelevant.
As a fan of Retraction Watch much of this is not new to me. However I did find it slightly amusing that the narrator put up the Retraction Watch Leaderboard and specifically said that Stapel sits in 7th place.He then circles Stapel's name, which is preceded by a figure that the Indian and Arab mathematicians have devised for us and it looks surprisingly like an EIGHT. Good thing I didn't fall for that " seventh place" nonsense! Also,as someone who was somewhat familiar with the fraught history of "priming" I was glad that the skepticism I had while watching the presentation was rewarded when the narrator admitted to the multiple lies/misrepresentations he had strewn throughout his presentation. An EXCELLENT video!!(except for the word "seventh" being symbolized by either a 90-degree rotated infinity,or,as we refer to it in New Jersey, an EIGHT!)
Right? Such a weird leap. I would definitely sit as far from the literally trash as possible. Also, regardless of what color the person was I would probably sit on the furthest seat, so we could both have personal space. Like it’s weird to sit right next to a total stranger if you can put space between you. At least here in NYC. I don’t know. Maybe it’s regional and different in Europe.
Besides it not happening anyway, if he had performed such an experiment, he would have had to see where a white person sat relative to another white person who was sitting surrounded by filthy refuse for it to mean anything 'rayzzt' at all.
Exactly. Someone with an ulterior motive wanting to prove “racism” is what it sounds like. Probably an ideologue who is obsessed with race and wanting to make a certain race feel guilty. It’s BS.
You made that up. The entire POINT of scientific publication is REPLICABILITY - and CHALLENGE. You describe your work so methodically that OTHER PEOPLE IN OTHER PLACES can carry out the same study and see if their results match yours or not. And it is whether they do or don’t get the same result, people can also decide for themselves whether your conclusions are actually warranted by the results.

1. I thought of a cucumber, not a carrot. 2. Because the title was about a lying psychologist, I believed nothing that was stated in the video. I went a bit too far, though, as I actually thought until the end that the entire video was a work of fiction and I did not believe that there actually was ever a psychologist of that name. So I guess I threw out the baby with the bathwater
I just neither believed nor disbelieved. I notice that many people seem to feel uncomfortable with suspending judgement. I was suspicious because I thought I'd heard that all that priming stuff was nonsense, but I don't trust my memory to be accurate.
I never lie so I always assume everyone is telling me the truth at all times. Even when I try and make a conscious effort to think that people around me are lying...I still think everyone is telling the truth.
I assume everything is a lie, I don't care about people's 'lies' people have their right to their lies but I believe what people say about themselves when they say it.
I am the same. My friend said "did those people just take stuff out of the closed area" I said "no the person in charge told me they were giving not taking" Later I realised that the people were literally leaving with a bunch of stuff. They were leaving the place loaded up. I figured it was stuff not needed or wanted. Then the next time, I heard the person doing dodgy deals within earshot. I then realised my friend was correct. The person in charge had just blatantly lied to me, but it was a challenge to realise that. Only later did I realise. The next time I tested that in charge person. They let me take stuff but the price was higher. They probably remembered me questioning them, but believing the lies. I paid either a "gullibility tax", or an "entry fee" into the corruption cycle. Trust is now but a memory of our former humanity.
Habitual liars love to toy with outing themselves. They love to tell the truth strategically so that people thin’ they are being flippant or joking, and disbelieve it.
The sad thing is is academia is a cult. I love to learn and I was so disappointed when the data I followed like it was gospel was wrong. It happened around 2020
Not a gardener here. I did think of carrots, and I recall thinking “oh that’s weird bc I wouldn’t be interested in growing carrots but rather kale or other greens.” Then he revealed the priming idea. I believed him. 🤷
Interesting video. Is there a formal document or report about this bad psychologist? Very sad for the students in the college. There seems to be a hidden problem of issues concerning bad psychologists or similar mental health workers. It seems to be a similar issue like bad priests, bad teachers, and similar authorities. Does anyone have any references of the tracking to bad mental health workers?
I will never understand cult followers. I cant imagine ever being manipulated this way. I immediately become weary when organizations ask for money for one.
For me, I am always just waiting for their hand to come out asking for my crucial 'contribution'. It never fails. My time or my money is what it's going to take to deal with whatever the 'cause' is, apparently. I just don't think of myself as that important, thanks. They are all selling something, and that something is usually nothing.

Nah! Planting false beliefs in past events is amazingly easy. You could be easily convinced of all sorts of experiences you never actually had. It’s almost certainly happened to you, and you just don’t know.
These premises are absolutely ludicrous. Especially literal in regard to subject matter as ‘out of the box’, or the ‘warmth of the coffee’. RIDICULOUS……I thought it was a joke!!!😂
Honestly, I don't believe anything psychologists say. I think it is psychology with the lowest percentage of replicability, very often with such small samples that make you think "The subjects were hand-picked". And sadly it also influences pedagogy so some very ridiculous ideas were incorporated there making me subsequently lose confidence in pedagogy as well.
This illustrates one of the most dangerous cognitive bias. The myth is that quiet socially awkward are who we should be suspicious of, when far more common is that the predator among us is smooth, socially adept, likable.

Psychology is a soft science. It needs much more rigor than other sciences for that reason. His statue was the reason he wasn’t questioned. Pharmaceutical and other corporate research also need to be more rigorous because the potential financial gain can incentivize questionable research practices.

Isn't modern society built on confirmation bias, aka trust? Who'd want to go through life distrusting any interaction, and how expensive would that distrust be? Of course, if that trust is abused too often people will change and society will change.
You’re right that society in general would collapse, as it does sometimes (eg in DR Congo, or Somalia) when people can’t even trust each other to do business, and when money itself isn’t trusted because people can't trust the system it’s based on. Commerce is trust based. Scientific publication is not meant to be based on trust, though. It is meant to be based on describing with precision and detail how you did your work - so that anyone else can try it out for themselves. Other researchers in other places should (a) be able to examine all of your data and analyse it independently. And / or (b) They should be able to follow the steps you say you took, do the experiment you say you did and see whether they get the same results. But in the last two decades, especially with online publication, this has collapsed. This is a bit different in different countries. In the west, a very, very few gigantic publishing houses have a stranglehold on publication - often public funded research, which is sold right back to students by charging universities and individuals thousands per year for maybe four issues a year. And they even get the papers peer-reviewed for free. The problem is that many peer reviewers now know they won’t get published any more themselves if they reject a paper. And since they get nothing for it anyway, many are completely unwilling to actually scrutinize the data or check statistics themselves. FDC Willard recently got an AI written physics paper that was absolute gobbledygook published in a “serious” journal. “Co-authored” by his owner. Willard is a cat. In China right now, there is just so much being published, and academic success is so required, that there’s an AI industry churning out fake research by the library-load. This is becoming dangerous in the fields like chemistry and medicine. This is because the modern model of education worldwide has become commercial: students pay a lot of money, they lose eight or ten years of lifetime earnings and end up with debt: so their doctoral thesis must succeed at all costs. Nothing can be admitted to have gone wrong. (The test samples that get destroyed because someone unplugged the fridge; the questionnaire that had leading questions; the call for volunteer subjects that nobody volunteered for.) Or just results that are nothing like expected, that seem nonsensical and that nobody can properly explain except “We must have effed up.” Or results that make your hypothesis, your grand idea that you’ve worked on for years…, vanish So they fake it.
Too much forgiveness for dishonesty. This car insurance example is discussed thoroughly in The New Yorker and the researcher highlighted is still in business if my research is correct. The summary reminds me of all religions and dictatorships
There's another factor...the awareness of entropy...that things decay and die, that far from mankind creating a better world it all seems to be going awry...that something is wrong. This awareness leads to anxiety and attempts to cope, a kind of mass PTSD. Finding a way to cope that is constructive not destructive is the challenge.

You can see the point if you have to choose among three cups the one that contains an object and the one person moving them tells you: "what is fastest, the hand or the eye?"
Probably your eyes will follow the hands and not the cup that contains the object because you heard the word "hands". You can't control their hands and you will forget to keep your eyes in the right cup because you are following their hands instead of the cup.
This is all too common. The lying and machinations in academia and those who are prone to sociopathy/ASPS and other mental health issues, (self delusion, hubris and arrogance, fraud, deceit, etc.) in the field of behavioral science is extremely high. Those that enter the field are problematic to begin with; some are unconsciously trying to harness their lack of a conscience and learn to control/manipulate others, a handful desire to understand their problematic histories and behaviors and others seek to avoid their problems by projecting onto/"diagnosing" others. Many of the worst, most messed up and manipulative people are in the field of behavioral health. Trust none of them!
Agreed. I am studying psychology. And many of my teachers and classmates have like zero empathy
I think that psychologists in academia that are in business or marketing dept are a curious bunch. Ariely and some of the others are social psychologists doing psychology research but not in a psych dept? Why?
It's certainly not specific to academia; its in finance, trade, politics.
I loved reading that !!
Commendations !!
High Distinction. 🤔☺️🙋
I can reassure you, having worked with many medical researchers, they are everywhere, if not even more present
Thank u for this video. The peer reviewers really need to check their processes. Absolutely shameful and frankly embarrassing for the academic world.
Researchers who do peer review of drug company sponsored trials don’t get access to the raw data. All they get is the drug company’s analysis of that data, which leaves the door wide open for manipulation and obfuscation.
Never believe anyone just because he looks confident - that's actually one more reason to be watchful and wary! Never hesistate to ask questions or challenge someone's "authority" or "well estabilished facts" ... no ... what is true is true, it will take the pressure. If it's bullshit it falls apart sooner or later.
I picked up some body language clues from Stapel that he's not sincere. (Not so much from the TED Talk woman, though.)
I am: 1. a social psychologist, 2. I teach at a business school and 3. I study power poses. Three strikes and you are out.
My mother warned me about people like you lol.
Y'know, there are very few people in the world who don't lie to themselves.
I considered a PhD in Power Poses, but I took a course in automatic writing instead.
Its not clear to me how anybody could believe this rubbish in the first place, fabricated or not.
The entire point of scientific publication is so that rubbish like this DOES get examined and DOES get found out. Because it must be replicable.
Because we are people.
No one wants to sit next to a pile of trash regardless of whoever is near it. The claim itself sends all arm bells.
Nothing unusual about academics, people of authority, or in positions of trust telling lies.

What about those people who naturally question everything. What is different about them? I was brought up in what many regard as a cult, but I questioned it from young childhood and left it in my early teens.
I would describe that as being intellectually curious. Everyone is naturally curious as a child.
Kids ask “why” questions all the time. They think philosophical thoughts. Most conform and stop asking as the parents and society tell them to shut up. Some of us find a reward in searching for truth. Some find it as a chore so avoid it
@@averyintelligence you could be right.
The stupid things people will believe. I've had employers who believe that, if their employees sign a declaration to do or not do something, their risks/accidents will go down. If you check the numbers, it didn't make a difference, yet the company clings to this practice like a child to a blankey. SMH.
This study was done by Francesca gino. A psychologist who faked like 50 studies and now is being investigated. She was a super star once. Watch videos about her and send them to your boss. She faked that study
That’s not why they get their employees to sign these things: it is just so azzcovering in case they get sued by employees doing dumb things.
@@eh1702 That seems much more plausible.
Agree its creating paper trail for insurance or liability purposes. Nothing to do with increasing safety or reducing risk.
THEy do that to use it against you when you get hurt. It is great evidence in claims court.
3:59 You asked me to think of a vegetable that grows in _my_ garden, not _a_ garden. So no, I did not think of carrot.
Yes, I thought of my failed attempt at growing aubergines.
I thought of aubergines too 😅😂. My dad use to grow them in his garden.
@jeaniebird999
I felt the same. I was like "I don't have a garden". When he explained the link between the colour orange and the Easter bunny I was like "Not ringing any bells. That's supposed to be a link" 😂😂
Proves that psychologists are more likely to lie than other disciplines.😂
Shocking! A profession based on talking to people for years with questionable results. Say it ain’t so. 😅 It’s more of a woo-woo profession than a lot of people think in my opinion.
Even the education they get at degree level is woolly and questionably scientific. It's not surprising students follow in the footsteps of their mentors and don't apply rigorous approaches. An example is even in the video.. the conclusion that not wanting to sit next to a black person when there is rubbish around is 'racist' is so loaded. It's like the sub-concious bias tests, that are purely designed around attitudes of attractiveness or fear of the black people (I got a positive bias toward black people, simply cos I find black women more attractive, but that doesn't relative to whether I am prejudice.. maybe I want to wipe out black genes by inter-breeding?) Anyway, social scientists often use social science to back their own political (or otherwise) prejudices. Needs to be FAR more rigorous and objective in approach.
@@josephbrown9685no, it’s a profession meant to sedate victims of abuse from causing too much of an uproar. Most psychologists are the perpetrators.
These are the people who teach your sons and daughters in universities and charge a fortune for the privilege.😂
It's a good profession, clinical psych, and it does help many, many people. But there just aren't many people who are capable of doing it competently. It isn't just a matter of training, there's a necessary disposition. And the limits on what can generally be accomplished are much narrower than the industry promotion wants us to believe. If we had more and better mental health services much of the bad behavior at the clinical level would get shaken out.
Priming don't work on me. I thought of "tomato."
Then I realized a tomato is actually a fruit. But I didn't say "carrot."
Me too !! Haha. Then I thought cucumber
..I thought of lettuce, I might be damaged 😂
I thought broccoli but in all fairness I wasn't paying much attention ...
I immediately thought that wearing a jumper would make me more likely to book a holiday in the sun to get away from the cold.
😂
Didn't think carrot. Thought poverty. Who has money to own a garden ?
Depends on the region. In a rural area, most people will have a garden, especially the poor.
Actually ebt covers seeds and edible plants. That’s how I started my garden. Now I’m 1% of people with ebt that did that. But it’s possible. I was a container Gardner. 40$ of soil cheap plastic bins will do ya right.
I live in a 1st floor council flat in east London and still have a garden
Lots of scientists do this - this one just got found out.
The abject stupidity of postmodern academia never ceases to amaze.
Yup! Gender and ethnic studies professors/students are the worst perpetrators.
It is not post-modern, however. It is social scientists trying to use statistics and experiments as if they are within the hard sciences. They are so eager to have numbers so that what they do seem scientific that they make stuff up. This has nothing to do with post-modern critical theory at all.
Even if the data were real, the conclusions don't follow from the claimed results. There was no control group mentioned. The lies were completely _illogical._ Yet nobody objected. And you still don't object, while making this video(at least not by 9:40 when I stop watching.) But none of that is shocking in the least.
Appeal to authority is a really tough bias to overcome.
I think that Appeal to Authority is my pet peeve right next to Fallacy of Omission.
4:17 “think of a vegetable that grows in your garden” - my brain: but I dont have a garden yyyy ok yyy tomato? 😂
I think any intelligent person would conclude that people just don't like to sit near garbage, and that the color or the person sited next to it, was irrelevant.
Imagine what they’ll do now with artificial intelligence
We are fooled day in day out, even when we sleep we are fooled. It never stops unless we stop breathing.
Fiat money is the biggest trick of them all
As a fan of Retraction Watch much of this is not new to me. However I did find it slightly amusing that the narrator put up the Retraction Watch Leaderboard and specifically said that Stapel sits in 7th place.He then circles Stapel's name, which is preceded by a figure that the Indian and Arab mathematicians have devised for us and it looks surprisingly like an EIGHT. Good thing I didn't fall for that " seventh place" nonsense! Also,as someone who was somewhat familiar with the fraught history of "priming" I was glad that the skepticism I had while watching the presentation was rewarded when the narrator admitted to the multiple lies/misrepresentations he had strewn throughout his presentation. An EXCELLENT video!!(except for the word "seventh" being symbolized by either a 90-degree rotated infinity,or,as we refer to it in New Jersey, an EIGHT!)
Or maybe people didn’t want to sit next to rubbish
No i am racist 🧑🦳
Right? Such a weird leap. I would definitely sit as far from the literally trash as possible. Also, regardless of what color the person was I would probably sit on the furthest seat, so we could both have personal space. Like it’s weird to sit right next to a total stranger if you can put space between you. At least here in NYC. I don’t know. Maybe it’s regional and different in Europe.
There was no sit.
Besides it not happening anyway, if he had performed such an experiment, he would have had to see where a white person sat relative to another white person who was sitting surrounded by filthy refuse for it to mean anything 'rayzzt' at all.
Exactly. Someone with an ulterior motive wanting to prove “racism” is what it sounds like. Probably an ideologue who is obsessed with race and wanting to make a certain race feel guilty. It’s BS.
I am always told that I can't question anything thats been peer reviewed 😂 follow the science
Folks inside the institutions call it "Pal Review" 🤷♂️
You made that up. The entire POINT of scientific publication is REPLICABILITY - and CHALLENGE. You describe your work so methodically that OTHER PEOPLE IN OTHER PLACES can carry out the same study and see if their results match yours or not. And it is whether they do or don’t get the same result, people can also decide for themselves whether your conclusions are actually warranted by the results.
@@eh1702 well I don't know where you were doing the "flu" I was told every day that the science was settled. Don't ask questions and don't doubt the high priest, I mean the scientists.

1. I thought of a cucumber, not a carrot. 2. Because the title was about a lying psychologist, I believed nothing that was stated in the video. I went a bit too far, though, as I actually thought until the end that the entire video was a work of fiction and I did not believe that there actually was ever a psychologist of that name. So I guess I threw out the baby with the bathwater
I just neither believed nor disbelieved. I notice that many people seem to feel uncomfortable with suspending judgement. I was suspicious because I thought I'd heard that all that priming stuff was nonsense, but I don't trust my memory to be accurate.
🎉Have an ice cream. 😊
I thought cucumber, too. I don't have a garden and never grew them.
I never lie so I always assume everyone is telling me the truth at all times. Even when I try and make a conscious effort to think that people around me are lying...I still think everyone is telling the truth.
Same here, at least until someone says something that doesn't make any sense which is usually their 3rd or 4th word.
I assume everything is a lie, I don't care about people's 'lies' people have their right to their lies but I believe what people say about themselves when they say it.
I am the same.
My friend said "did those people just take stuff out of the closed area"
I said "no the person in charge told me they were giving not taking"
Later I realised that the people were literally leaving with a bunch of stuff. They were leaving the place loaded up.
I figured it was stuff not needed or wanted.
Then the next time, I heard the person doing dodgy deals within earshot.
I then realised my friend was correct.
The person in charge had just blatantly lied to me, but it was a challenge to realise that.
Only later did I realise.
The next time I tested that in charge person.
They let me take stuff but the price was higher.
They probably remembered me questioning them, but believing the lies.
I paid either a "gullibility tax", or an "entry fee" into the corruption cycle.
Trust is now but a memory of our former humanity.

The sad thing is is academia is a cult. I love to learn and I was so disappointed when the data I followed like it was gospel was wrong. It happened around 2020
It happened to many of us around about that time, strange.
Not a gardener here. I did think of carrots, and I recall thinking “oh that’s weird bc I wouldn’t be interested in growing carrots but rather kale or other greens.” Then he revealed the priming idea. I believed him. 🤷
Interesting video. Is there a formal document or report about this bad psychologist? Very sad for the students in the college. There seems to be a hidden problem of issues concerning bad psychologists or similar mental health workers. It seems to be a similar issue like bad priests, bad teachers, and similar authorities. Does anyone have any references of the tracking to bad mental health workers?

Honestly, I don't believe anything psychologists say. I think it is psychology with the lowest percentage of replicability, very often with such small samples that make you think "The subjects were hand-picked". And sadly it also influences pedagogy so some very ridiculous ideas were incorporated there making me subsequently lose confidence in pedagogy as well.
Psychology is THE most important science. Applied correctly it trumps all the rest. The last four years should have told you that.

Psychology is a soft science. It needs much more rigor than other sciences for that reason. His statue was the reason he wasn’t questioned.
Pharmaceutical and other corporate research also need to be more rigorous because the potential financial gain can incentivize questionable research practices.
The more private funding involved, the more oversight necessary.
Any official oversight can be bought, you can only trust your own judgement. It has served me well, especially in the last four years. Just be prepared to be called all sorts of ridiculous things.

Isn't modern society built on confirmation bias, aka trust?
Who'd want to go through life distrusting any interaction, and how expensive would that distrust be?
Of course, if that trust is abused too often people will change and society will change.
You’re right that society in general would collapse, as it does sometimes (eg in DR Congo, or Somalia) when people can’t even trust each other to do business, and when money itself isn’t trusted because people can't trust the system it’s based on. Commerce is trust based.
Scientific publication is not meant to be based on trust, though. It is meant to be based on describing with precision and detail how you did your work - so that anyone else can try it out for themselves. Other researchers in other places should (a) be able to examine all of your data and analyse it independently. And / or (b) They should be able to follow the steps you say you took, do the experiment you say you did and see whether they get the same results.
But in the last two decades, especially with online publication, this has collapsed.
This is a bit different in different countries. In the west, a very, very few gigantic publishing houses have a stranglehold on publication - often public funded research, which is sold right back to students by charging universities and individuals thousands per year for maybe four issues a year. And they even get the papers peer-reviewed for free. The problem is that many peer reviewers now know they won’t get published any more themselves if they reject a paper. And since they get nothing for it anyway, many are completely unwilling to actually scrutinize the data or check statistics themselves. FDC Willard recently got an AI written physics paper that was absolute gobbledygook published in a “serious” journal. “Co-authored” by his owner. Willard is a cat.
In China right now, there is just so much being published, and academic success is so required, that there’s an AI industry churning out fake research by the library-load. This is becoming dangerous in the fields like chemistry and medicine.
This is because the modern model of education worldwide has become commercial: students pay a lot of money, they lose eight or ten years of lifetime earnings and end up with debt: so their doctoral thesis must succeed at all costs. Nothing can be admitted to have gone wrong. (The test samples that get destroyed because someone unplugged the fridge; the questionnaire that had leading questions; the call for volunteer subjects that nobody volunteered for.)
Or just results that are nothing like expected, that seem nonsensical and that nobody can properly explain except “We must have effed up.” Or results that make your hypothesis, your grand idea that you’ve worked on for years…, vanish So they fake it.

The fact that Arieli lied in a book about honesty, it's absolutely hilarious
There's another factor...the awareness of entropy...that things decay and die, that far from mankind creating a better world it all seems to be going awry...that something is wrong. This awareness leads to anxiety and attempts to cope, a kind of mass PTSD. Finding a way to cope that is constructive not destructive is the challenge.
