Amazing. An entire issue of a social work journal (one of the most wokish fields) is devoted to pushing back on the takeover of their field by the regressive left. Link in reply. 1/3 2 is link and quote from opening editorial. 3 is table of contents.

I'm reviewing a paper where authors stated their RQs and then asked ChatGPT the same questions and then reported the results. No evaluation, nothing. Imagine what people without scientific training are going to do, if this is what scientists are doing? #theendisnear
