couldn't any moon, asteroid, planet or star be considered a 'gravity generator in space'?

>>2813064
Everything has a gravitational field if that is what you are refering as generator

>>2813071
well...i use the word 'generator' very loosely...

Think Psychology is the only subject I got an A in but never studied it, just keept a deep conversation going and the techer bought it

>>2812949
very good, but let's not forget

I have a physics professor who tells everybody in class that if they fail, they should really consider taking up psychology as their major.

Is psychology really THAT easy?

>>2813118
There were no written assignment when I did it, only conversations

>>2813130

What the hell do you even learn, then? Or, at least, what are you guys talking about in your "conversations"?

>>2813135

You know. Feelings.

>>2813135
You read about some key persons like Freud and semi-discuss their theory about the mind, with questions like "What do you think? Could he been right?" Then you just start babbling "Yea perhaps, I mean when I had this dream... yadayada"

In my Psychology course, we do correlational experimentation, right now we're investigating the relationship between impulsivity and psychopathy. I'm a first year too. There's a fuck load of reading of other peoples research to do, a lot of research etc and then the actual testing and data processing too.

So reasonably scientific, not just "converstions".

>>2812949
I know...

It is popular, but I wouldn't say that serious psychology is that easy. If you fall into pop-psycho, then yes, but so is pop-phyisics (what if the Big Bang wasn't the first thing that happened? )

If I ask you what are some psychogenesis of schizophrenia, would you consider that easy? Or if sexuality in children is a normal habit?

Like with many social/interactional sciences, the bullshit factor has a higher threshold than the concrete ones. One can throw a lot of garbage into an essay and pass due to the professor not wanting to go through the effort of ripping apart 50+ final papers.

One can't bullshit math, chemistry, biology and physics to any nearly similar degree.

Social/Interactional sciences tend to get better as you progress through higher levels, but the retard quotient is still unfortunately very high.

For example when I was attempting to analyze international conflicts from Morgenthau & Constructivist standpoints, some dipshit responded by saying that we should use Jesus' teachings as a barometer for the example...

This was in a PhD level course mind you..

>>2813183

Was your teacher's name Jesus? ...cause that would make you an elitist.

>>2813199

Jesus as in the guy from the Christian mythos...not the immigrant your dad give's handjobs for a free oil change and pack of oranges.

90% of the undergraduate psychology courses at my school are taught by grad students including myself. The reason they courses are generally so easy is we're way too busy to give a shit about whether a class full of people trying to get an easy A are actually learning anything. This assumption holds basically until the senior level classes when we actually will put some effort into educating the students that make it that far.

And yes, the retard quotient can get real damn high depending on the specific area of psychology. I took a few counseling psychology grad courses as blow off classes and now genuinely fear for anyone following the advice of those people. Generally clinical, I/O, quant, and MAYBE cog have the good/intelligent students. The other areas are almost exclusively populated by idiots that couldn't hack it elsewhere.

...what did you change in your post?

I've got news for you, OP, the Earth IS a gravity generator in space. Fucking moron.

I also like to congratulate my own shitty comebacks.
