Can someone remind my why psychology is a meme and a pseudo-science again?

With this news, it means psychology is more of a philosophy than actual science.

Analytic philosophy is logically rigorous. It’s more of a pseudoscience like astrology or numerology.

>> No.9013803

It's simple:

Psychology doesn't make measurements, nor does it have axioms or use math.

"experiments" in psychology are measuring things that can't be reliably measured

Math as a science only needs brains , psychology needs intelligence.

>>9013803
You don’t need axioms like math to follow a consistent method. The difference between method and axioms is that axioms analytically create their results. Method synthetically Crete’s results.

Psychology can’t even produce results that follow method. Therefore it’s not a science and definitely not an analytic field.

These are people which took GRE, a exam to get into a Graduate School.

Only the top Graduate students apply.
So the data don' include the Drop Out & people from Low Tier Universities.

this is why you shouldn't get too blinded by stem elitism
infact, elitism doesn't fit into academia at all, everyone just knows their field well
philosphers actually have one of the highest iqs, higher than all stem fields except maths and physics

Because psychology doesn't require science like neurology does.

Honestly we should ban psychology and only allow neurology. That way maybe I'll stop wasting my garbage on gipsy tellers and actually give it to doctors who use machines to tell me my health's stats. So I can at least know if I have genuine autism or not.
