| Rigged science is the process of hindering free exploration and research. It is the corrupted counterpart of science |
Rigged science (alternatively: "fraudulent science, "corrupted science", "for-profit-science") refers to the process of hindering free exploration by setting expected goals for monetary gains and survival of scientists, hiring opportinistic individuals, omitting data, avoiding the bigger picture that would contradict or put in perspective the rigged outcome.
The scientific spirit, which is based on the willingness to put hypotheses to the test and let them be falsified is perverted by subjecting heretics to character assassination and psychological warfare often supported by the commercially-controlled media and cut off funds.
Also, increasingly hypotheses are formulated in such a way, that they can not by falsified, i.e. in medicine and climate research. From a scientific POV these are ideologies rather than hypotheses.
