Really wish I had time to go through and read these, this looks fascinating: Everything is
fucked: The syllabus:
In a much-discussed article at Slate, social psychologist Michael Inzlicht told a reporter, “Meta-analyses are fucked” (Engber, 2016). What
does it mean, in science, for something to be fucked? Fucked needs to mean more than that something is complicated or must be undertaken with thought and care, as that would be
trivially true of everything in science. In this class we will go a step further and say that something is fucked if it presents hard conceptual challenges to which implementable,
real-world solutions for working scientists are either not available or routinely ignored in practice.</blockquote.
