[Serious] Generally speaking, is philosophy a worthwhile subject of study?

[John 6IX Breezy]

We should start a thread on this topic. As I understand it was first discovered in psychology and (maybe) it is especially problematic in that field (?)

Hmm I would say that psychology has taken up the mantle to examine replicability and methodological problems in ways that other branches have not. The Center for Open Science was founded by psychologists for this purpose and they're the ones that began to do the famous replication studies.

In my opinion, given that psychologist are the ones equipped to study biases and human errors, it makes sense that critiques on scientific practices begin with psychologist. For example, one of my professors researches the way interdisciplinary science teams solves problems. That's not something a physicist can study, and yet has implications for how physicists collaborate.

I'm not an expert on the topic. But it's my understanding that the crisis has since spread to other fields. And I see no reason why physics and chemistry are immune to such problems when humans are still doing the science.
