Every journal should be like "Medical hypotheses," where people come up with random ideas that could perhaps be tested one day. Life if too short to test stuff or build sophisticated models.

Exclusive access to proprietary data is bad for science, bad for equity, and creates huge room for fraud, corruption and conflict of interest. Until YOU get access to proprietary data #EconSky

Did you know that only 796 research papers contain "Why the long face?" in their title? We can expect their scientific insights to be of higher quality than the way too frequent "The good, the bad, and the [INSERT JARGON]" #EconSky

Recently discovered the existence of "systematic reviews" - a form of meta-analysis but without the analysis. Should we start publishing some? Any good keywords to put on that google scholar search console?

An effective anti-academic policy would do two things: permits free trade on the Internet and denies the copyright protection of authors. The marketplace will do the rest. In response to such a policy, the production of research will drop off quickly. The "consumption" of papers will soon follow.
