    I used to work at a university whose education department sank hundreds of thousands of dollars into a study to find ideal lecture length to maximize retention.

    Memory’s a little fuzzy… it was short. Like a half hour?

    Anyway the punchline I definitely do remember is that they got the results of the study then changed absolutely nothing

      “We funded this study hoping it would conform to our existing world view, Alas it didnt, there for we’re not changing a fucking thing”
