My editorial paper entitled, "No raw data, no science: another possible source of the reproducibility crisis". When I feel the results are too beautiful, I requested raw data before sending it out for review. 40 out of 41 did not send me the right data...Researchers are under pressure to publish papers in ruthless competition. What if researchers who produce beautiful results based on non-existing data win against the ones who struggle with true data? Unfortunately, that is what is happening in science nowadays, I am afraid.

:There are some puzzling aspects to your post. Since it's written in the first person, but presumably by Mr. Miyakawa, it sounds as though you are reporting an email that he sent to you personally. Is that the case? Can you provide the (redacted for confidentiality) email? Can you provide the paper ("No raw data ...") that precipitated this? Is this paper something that he, in an editorial capacity, sent out for review? Was it written by someone other than himself? Did he feel that his job required that he get review comments before he could approve the paper for publication? Did a lot of people fail to respond to his requests? What is a normal return rate on requests for review? (I know that, when I was in the business of doing this, the return rate was pretty low.)

==The unexplainably fussy liberal society news commentator vs. Trump==
"Such complex and contradictory apologia invite many questions. Why are these commentators focused on criticizing Trump's incivility and simultaneously undermining his claim to being politically incorrect? Why does civility coexist with the valorization of incivility? Why the urgent need to qualify and justify? To explain the paradox of commentators with liberated, incivil Ids demanding that Trump and his supporters refine their own Ids, we must return to sociology." —Hoyt Thorpe
[[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Wednesday, 04:00, 26 February 2020 (EST)
==== Answer ====
:"For their part, many of Trump's supporters experience a world dominated by a seemingly hypocritical unity of civility and barbaric identity group narcissism, where those with power and wealth celebrate the ethnic, sexual, racial, religious, national and gender particularism of specific groups (including, for example, the various contradictory forms of ethnic vulgarity, ostentatious sexual expression, sexually restrictive mores, and nationalism of each group) while at the same time demanding self-effacing respect, deference, tolerance, and restraint of Trump supporters. This no doubt feels similar to the way the old protestant, Nietzschean pathos of distance felt to emancipated Jews: a hypocritical and deceitful foil disguising the truth - an unwritten 'bargain' demanding social demotion.
:"To heed liberal calls for civility is therefore experienced as a command to submit to the social superiority of a hypocritical liberal establishment. This leads us to a third factor underlying Trump's success: incivility and spite rituals effect social equalization. Trump supporters revel in their leader's spiteful profanation of the ruling class' civility rituals and strive to tear down the ritual social distance between themselves and the establishment. For every public 'Pocahontas', 'somebody's doing the raping', 'John Liebowitz Stewart', or 'blood coming out of her wherever', Trump punctures the sacralized narcissistic womb of an institutionalized victim group and thereby supplies his pariah supporters with another boost of emotional energy.
:"Beyond Trump, the more unsettling conclusion following from Cuddihy's analysis is that the moral basis of our civil religion is arbitrary, reflecting nothing more than the self-protective rationalizations of a powerful and detached ruling class. Hiding behind the Christlike meekness of select identity and victim groups, the establishment projects a hypocritical show of civility and tolerance that legitimates their wealth, power, and most importantly for Trump supporters, social distance from the mob."—Hoyt Thorpe

== Obesity, aging populations, nursing shortages, coronavirus and pandemics ==
"Obesity, like other states of malnutrition, is known to impair the immune function, altering leucocyte counts as well as cell-mediated immune responses."[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22429824]
China's obesity problem is making it harder to fight the coronavirus (see: [[China and obesity]]). In addition, it has an aging population (see: [[Global atheism and aging populations]]).
Much of the developed world has problems with obesity and aging populations. These issues make it easier for the coronavirus to spread and increase its mortality statistics.
As far as South Korea which has been hit by the coronavirus, "Almost 1 in 4 Seoul citizens are not just overweight, but obese. So reported Seoul Metropolitan Government last month with the release of a survey of more than 23,000 residents aged 19 and older."[https://www.asiaone.com/health/does-korea-have-obesity-problem] South Korea also has an aging population. With a rapidly ageing population, low birth rates and young people who are increasingly shunning marriage, South Korea is in a population conundrum.[https://www.asiaone.com/health/does-korea-have-obesity-problem]
The coronavirus has hit Italy. Thank God Italy has lower obesity rate than the rest of Europe.[https://www.oecd.org/els/health-systems/obesityandtheeconomicsofpreventionfitnotfat-italykeyfacts.htm] But it has a history of bad governments that are quickly replaced. Italy also receives a lot of tourists. Italy does have an aging population too.
If the developed world does not start having children, a pandemic could hit developed world populations with many seniors and struggle to take care of them. On top of this there is a global nursing shortage.[https://academic.oup.com/bmb/article/130/1/25/5487611]

U.S. Senator Kamala Harris attacked Biden along the same lines, but even more viciously, during their debate. The media gave her a pass.

The suggestion is that the poor man got confused between getting separated at the airport and getting arrested.[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-biden-nelson-mandela-arrest-south-africa-prison-apartheid-south-carolina-debate-a9359596.html] The fact that he wasn't actually arrested isn't even the biggest problem with the original story.

Bernie Sanders is not a capitalist since he is merely a millionaire. Leftist la la land is such a joke.
The raucous Democratic presidential primary debate in South Carolina was just the tip of the chaos iceberg. The Democratic presidential primary convention is going to be a contentious trainwreck and the Bernie Sanders supporters are going to be sore losers after the superdelegates don't make Bernie Sanders the nominee. And get ready for Michael Bloomberg to rain down the heavy artillery of political advertising which will deny Bernie Sanders a majority of delegates and cause him to merely have a plurality of delegates.
And then Michael Bloomberg will be coronated king of the Democrats by the superdelegates!

:::A big problem that Democrats face is that their candidates lack vetting. Because of "safe spaces", political correctness and having a friendly press, Democrats are not properly vetted. Biden's problems with Hunter Biden, the lack of scrutiny of Bernie Sanders by the press and Michael Bloomberg not being strongly scrutinized by the press, produces candidates with skeletons in their closets and candidates who can't take a punch.
:::It also produces candidates who don't really understand the issues and who can't make effective arguments. So they just scream out "billionaire", racist, misogynist, etc. etc. My guess is that Bernie Sanders doesn't understand economics/business very well so when he is challenged on who is going to pay for his policies, he is flat-footed.
:::One of the reasons why Trump is more successful than many of his predecessors is that he understands economics, business/negotiation better than past presidents who may have gone to politically correct universities, but fail to have much of an understanding of how the world actually works. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 10:24, 28 February 2020 (EST)
::::As to Bloomberg, I'm not sure you can say he wasn't vetted by the media.
::::New York has two media markets - (1) is the center of national, MSM news media; Washington is a field office to New York based national media; (2) is the local New York media market. Both Trump and Bloomberg, a three-time mayor, are thoroughly well known in the local New York media market (as is Giuliani). Trump rose on the cover of scandal sheets like the ''National Enquirer''. On shows like ''The View'' you see daily how New Yorkers cannot understand how America doesn't know the things about Trump they have been reading and hearing for three decades. As to Bloomberg, it is well known in New York how Bloomberg avoided opposition, protests, and being called a racist by [[Al Sharpton]] during Stop n Frisk; Bloomberg paid off Sharpton and other critics with donations to their non-profit causes to NOT actively oppose him. He's doing the same thing now - not just with huge media buys, but silencing critics with money, as well as hiring all the top-name political consultants and pollsters to either work directly for him, or at least ''not'' work for his opponents. New Yorkers are well aware of this cause the local media has exposed it over years; now the national, New York based media has to condense all these facts into a few days or weeks. Bloomberg has the professional media consultant class all paid off. Trump's a po' boy by Bloomy standards, and can't afford it. That essentially is Bloomberg's strategy and the main difference between Trump & Bloomy.
::::I'd attribute it more to the MSM not understanding, or despising, mainstream America more than saying these candidates weren't properly vetted. Bloomberg wasn't expressing just his own views about Midwesterners in his comments about the bathroom bill or farmers - it's the view most of the mainstream press has toward Deplorable America outside the NYC media market.
