Topic: Richard Horton

Richard Horton, editor of the prestigious medical journal *The Lancet*, published a scathing editorial claiming that half of all scientific literature may be untrue. He cited small sample sizes, invalid analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest as primary drivers of a "turn towards darkness" in the scientific community. This admission supports the argument that government grants and the "military-industrial-academic complex" have corrupted the pursuit of objective truth.
