Psychology seems to be unpopular here.

Why would that be, /sci/?
>Einstein poropt

>> No.1936725

Because it so rarely produces results and is filled with wishy-washy bullshit theories that drown out the good stuff.

>> No.1936727

neckbeards have to preserve the fantasy that they're intellectually superior, rather than simply being whores for money who have no ability to approach life with a properly balanced value system.

it's obvious that this is a fantasy if you ever troll this board.

this isn't everyone in the sciences. but it's pretty much all of /sci/.

>> No.1936730

Because every trust fund baby who's been sent to university by their daddy is either taking arts or psych.

To add on this, a deeper, more fulfilling understanding of said "good stuff" can be achieved by studying any of the life sciences focused on the brain.

It's kind of like economics. Look at any faculty roster in economics and you'll notice an interesting trend: Most economists never studied economics as an undergrad. Why? Because it's bullshit.

I just don't agree that psychology is a science. It's founded on a flawed system, and it doesn't make use of science at all. You can pretty much make up any theory you damn well please a lot of the time. (See: Freud)

No maths involved. Therefore complete shit.

Holy shit guys, ONE stats class. How scientific!

>either arts or psych

Psych major is the most common major when you do an arts degree at my university. You can do psychology in either Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology.

>> No.1936772

>>1936761
My psych classes were placed in the faculty of science for some reason. Arts at my school were more like history, literature, and women's studies.

>> No.1936780

Because it's completely unfalsifiable bullshit.

>> No.1936782

>>1936772
when I was college shopping, I noticed a serious different between the BS in Psych and the BA.
The BS was full of chemistry, bio and physics.

>> No.1936789

>>1936782
No shit. That doesn't make it any more credible. Anyone can load up their schedule with science courses, but few of those have any direct application to psychology. I hate psychology because it makes the field of neuroscience look like bunk. The whole program should just be phased out.

>> No.1936826

because they think psychology is pseudo science.
