100% agree with Dr. Nosek that metascience should not become a discipline; back in 2023 it was call a "movement" and this year @jameswilsdon.bsky.social and others called it a "discourse coalition".
All the discourse that wants to gather under this label should do so imo.

One instinct that I keep is a hope that metascience does not become a discipline of its own.

Disciplines get too monocultural and self-referential. The most exciting part of metascience is that it feels a bit disorienting because of the diversity in discipline, sectors, assumptions coming together.
