As I delve deeper into the world of sports science, I become ever more entrenched in the view that academic publishing is the single most corrupting influence in science’s prime directive - to create knowledge. The whole ecosystem is absolutely fubar. #HigherFasterStronger

"In the last 30 yrs we have cut down 1/2 the world's #forests & >75 million tons of topsoil have washed off these lands. Nothing in human history prepares us for the sheer speed at which the consequences of these actions are now rushing toward us." ~David Kelly #thicktrunktuesday

“To channel the torrent of information into productive directions, Harari argues we must rely on trustworthy institutions — democratic assemblies, universities, research bodies and the media — which mostly operate self-correcting mechanisms.” Yuval Noah Harari ft.com/content/5aa9b1…
