But people here just take the social sciences for a meme :S

And to add onto my response, my main problem is that I selectively fail to understand what "adaptive heuristics" and "dynamic error control" are. I'm sometimes too afraid and sometimes too stupid to accept that other people, my entire world, and even worse, myself, are simply products of multi-billion dollar PR industries built on formalizations of time honored mechanisms of social control. Things like bread and circuses, divide and conquer, emperor's new clothes, and the later "crowd psychology". I need to believe that my will is my own, and my environment and the events in my life are lolpie random, despite consistently talking about how stupid normie sheep are. Further, it has the word "social" in it. And I'm bad at socializing, so I need to reject it and pretend that science is the greatest and highest power. When in reality, the structure and organization of power is social in nature. I lack the competence to move within this system, identify and exploit the levers of power, and therefore I must reject it all cuz "LOL CANT GET DETERMINISTIC RESULT KEKEKEKE JEJ!" Despite the clear success of demographics modeling, manufactured consent, manufactured controversy, the ease with which people are polarized into groups which can be controlled, and the ultimate futility of fighting change that the power structure desires. Because they will find a way to make it happen, eventually.

I need to feel like I'm in control, so like, fuck those SOFT sciences. I'm a man and ROCK HARD, into REAL STUFF. Not all that hazy junk which is all sjw tranny stuff prolly, haha.

haha

You at least have it dynamic in some cases as society changes.
