You don’t understand. Real science happens on Twitter. Real scientists are the startup founders who make grandiloquent threads about Arxiv pre-publications. Academia doesn’t work at all. Actuallly, academia’s scientists are just jaded. We’re so much smarter than them. You need to root for LK99 to be real so we can live in the post-scarcity techno magic utopia. If you spread FUD the rock wont levitate. Extraordinary claims only require trivial amount of suggestive evidence. Did you hear an anon cat girl already made a Gundam robot in her kitchen out of the stuff? Maybe if you squint hard enough and try 999 times it’ll work the 1000th. Epistemic standards don’t matter. What matters is to be excited and enthusiastic. That’s what science is really about. We’re all in this together folks. What an adventure.
