Since publishing the video, 2 errors have been brought to my attention:

Sorry, but I can't listen to the same 3 second music loop for 21 minutes.

This is why we seriously need to accept non-significant findings. Not finding a correlation is still useful information, but no one wants to put money into something to say you didn't find anything. And the "publish or perish" is completely true. Professors are expected to not only teach classes, but to publish a paper at least once a year in order to keep their job. Teaching and research should both be full-time commitments, otherwise both end up half-assed.

Academic honesty needs to be extremely promoted. I’m tired of loud fabricators getting the advantage over quiet diligent truth-tellers.

The irony of Ariely and the Harvard psych professor both having fraudulently manipulated data in reseadch on honesty would be hilarious if it wasn't so infuriating.

This Ariely dude appeared in HBO's documentary on Elizabeth Holmes and provides some bizare moral justification for Holmes' scam. Now I realize why. He was giving justification for his own scam.

Do I really have to listen the exact same 9 trumpet notes for 21 minutes? Jesus dude get some better background music

Your title features the word 'fall', yet the video doesn't describe much of a change to his status apart from a few demotions.

Interesting content, but you need to think more creatively about your background music. Repeating that one musical phrase for over 20 minutes was irritating, to say the least.

Background music is too much for me

Nice work. Fraud is so common in modern academia for a number of reasons - I’ve covered it in medicine, but it’s everywhere…however my outsider’s perspective is that psychology is especially susceptible

My god, that background song you chose is making me want to destroy every trumpet in existence

The music being on an eight second loop is the perfect length to induce psychotic rage. My experiments prove it

My big question is whether journalists are ever going to learn that one study, by itself, no matter how interesting its findings are, means very little unless and until its findings are replicated.

9:00

That horn theme playing on an endless loop… dude you’re killing me.

as someone doing academic research, not getting IRB approval is insane. Not getting IRB approval for an experiment that SHOCKS PEOPLE is even crazier

Love how Aimee wasn’t buying any of his crap. You can tell he’s trying to gaslight her (“ohhh I’m sure this thing happened it definitely did you just might have forgotten right?”) but she isn’t having it. It was satisfying, seeing her politely but firmly deny him what he wants. You can tell she’s pissed lol

I had a professor have us read his book a few years ago, and she pointed out to us that his work was likely not completely true. Which totally shocked me at the time, especially from a book my professor recommended to us, but I thought it was an interesting lesson in itself.

One of the PIs of the (physics) lab I did research in as an undergrad had her career impacted by the Schön scandal. She spent several years of her PhD trying in vain to replicate his false results. Academic dishonesty is absolutely vile.
