dude dont answer you peon, this is such bait, everyone knows maths is probably like amongst the top 3 most potentially lucrative degrees of all time

theres quite abit of it in neuroscience actually. computational neuroscience is fairly big.

free energy principle as seen as the most complete computational framework in neuroscience in terms of it covering a broad range of topics with the same principle.

technically it should apply to other biological systems as well as the brain though.

lol you sound like a prick.

exercise and good diet and making sure you get all your supplements is essential.

theres stuff like working memory training which may help. mindfulness meditation type stuff has been known to definitely help.

and sometimes you might just have to do compensatory stuff like make sure your really organised like planning your days so you do everything you need to, using timers, itineraries, keeping a clean space etc.

much love,

dude theres always a side effect. your brain isnt specific enough to create a drug that has no side effects.

the drinking will only be harmful if you get into really bad habits if you get to the point of like borderline alcoholism or something. i doubt psychedelics would do much especially if you dont do it regularly.

brain damage from drinking will probably not be the reason you fuck up on things even if it is harmful. and many successful academics have been known to binge drink regularly. hell in my uni theres wine at every academic event. ive seen academics get fucked and say really weird shit about wwii to german people.

is it really hard being a scientist? is it worth it?

im not sure thats an accurate statement

>it actually doesnt make a huge difference

it does make a difference to fmri studies, i just mean it doesnt make a massive difference to the knowledge we have gained in the last 25 years.

>tfw when not all psychology is about mental illness.
>tfw when problems as youve described are problems with society.

>>8417845
no field i think can stand on its own methodologically and it doesnt make sense to think so since you cannot divide the world into discrete independent fields (much the same as you cant do that with mental health) and psychology in its own right has occasionally had great successes such as its influence on behavioural economics and work in social psychology and psychometrics.

if psychology wasn't replicable at all, then you wouldnt have theories in psycology.

>tfw science in general isnt as straight-edged or systematic as people think.

>tfw most people dont know that replication problems are prevalent across all science especially in medicine and replication problems happen all the time but aren't published.

>tfw when good science in society is being maimed by overcompetition for funding.


i actually dont know about the question is psychology a science. like biology it is an incredibly broad field with blurred borders and a great methodological diversity. its quite a superficial question desu and i dont think a field needs to have what we would call scientific rigour or methodology to contribute great ammounts of knowledge.

a good book also is "what is this thing called science?" an intro into history and philosophy of science giving a glimpse to just how messy science really has been, most of the examples being in physics.

they are trying to bypass the problem of mapping internally consistent discrete categories onto continuous dimensions. they are just using innapropriate language.
