Since 1992 Klevius has warned against citations and peer reviews

In Demand for Resources – on the right to be poor (1992) one chapter is used as a warning against citations (and peer reviews) in science. Why? Because a (clean) scientific process consists of pure logic, initiated and directed by pre-understanding formulated as a hypothesis or a question, and furiously defended against religious, political or other bias.

Do we want to keep science as clean as possible?

Science today is more contaminated than ever before. How come?

When Western universities emerged out of the shackles of religion, the scientific purity became a natural contrast to the "hermeneutic"* reading of religious texts.

* I.e. trying to make sense while keeping the non sense ("god") untouchable.

The scientific process, its focus and direction

This is from a lecture by Klevius and describes how scientific bias may ruin the scientific process through the use of citations which, despite having differing scientific focus, are approved of via peer reviews, because they happen to fit a populist paradigm.

The direction of the scientific process depends on its originality so that original research cannot use references (other than purely descriptive ones - and why should they be there anyway?) to conventional research. And if it does, it either fails scientifically or sacrifices its own originality by trying to refer to research that doesn't fall within its realm.

However, don't panic. We still have Popper's falsifiability as well as the easily controlled internal logic in the scientific process itself (as long as this logic isn't forbidden by "peers").

The re-contamination of Western academics with dangerous and Human Rights violating non sense

Via backward sand billionaires Western academics have been heavily contaminated with "islamic science" were "peer review" stands for Sharia.

This fanatic* muslim and his muslim world organization (OIC) is the most dangerous threat to science and Human Rights

 * who dreams about a Turk led muslim world empire under Sharia, just as Hitler dreamed about a Grossdeutschland. And who blinks the miserable failures of the Turk led Ottoman slave empire which fell in the deepest decay after West had abolished slavery for good.

and these are his supporters today:

 And those muslims who don't fit in either category need to face Erdogan, OIC and Human Rights violating Sharia - or admit they are no real muslims anymore.
 

The sad story about islam steered "anthropologist" Teuku Jacob and his muslim fight against science

Indonesian Islamic-Muslim crypto-creationism hinders science abt Flores "Hobbit"

Taipei News: In a news item on its Web site, Nature said Indonesia had refused to renew the researchers' access to the cave. The country's anthropological establishment, which has close ties to the government, bitterly opposes the theory that the Hobbits were a separate species, it quoted them as saying. "My guess is that we will not work at Liang Bua agin, this year or any other year," Morwood reportedly said.

For an alternative non-Muslim view on the "Hobbit" Flores WoMan based on reason and science see: Out of Africa: How a wrinkled African "Pygmy"*1) brain became "human"/"Mongoloid"* in cold Asia

Peter Klevius' comment: The Islamic government in Indonesia, desperately trying to cover up its unscientific Islamic crypto-creationism*, has since long had at least one (the so called "scientist" Teuku Jacob**) of its long arms deeply embedded in the Liang Bua cave. Now, after having tried 1) to explain the Hobbit as a "diseased human"; 2) theft and destruction of the bones; and 3) flirting with multiregionalists and people disliking Peter Brown. they ended up just blocking the cave!

* Islamic crypto-creationism means that there's only one species which (given of course that its members first submits to the Arabic Allah), can be considered fully human. In other words, god created a very special creature with a potential to become human. Those who didn't submit under this Arabic Allah were/are considered "infidels" and hence no real humans, i.e. no real Muslims. In this picture the "Hobbit" WoMan from Flores is disturbing and would benefit the Islamic world by not showing up or, if she really has to, be pathologized (Compare Peter Klevius paper on how healthy kinship ties are pathologized in "hoax psychodynamic child protection". Also see Klevius Interdisciplinary News + offered links for more on the topic.

** Teuku Jacob has been a studious guy, well familiar with physical anthropology and its terminology and methods. Furthermore he seems to have had a tremendous personal success within the Indonesian academic world (Indonesia's Mr Anthropolgy in person). One can only guess how he earned this reputation because traces of ground-breaking thinking are scant, to say the least. Yes, Teuku Jacob calls himself an "evolutionist" but unfortunately that probably doesn't include humans! Hence I call him a crypto-creationist. And in an extension it seems not too far-fetched to hypothise that he may have been muzzled by Islam. The other, and less flattering, option being that he himself believes in what he is doing...
