Doesn't know about social sciences which are a liberal art. Futhermore, it is a counterintuitive confused mess to say something is a hard science and something else isnt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demarcation_problem).). What it almost terminates with is the definition of pornography, you only know it when you see it.

Alright I wont push this any farther, but I do want to say one thing about psyche..

Psychology is dumb. I have the same sentiment about psychology as you guys (probably).

I think economics is actually good for something. We learn about, the mathematics relevant to decision making in a business environment. We arent learning cooky new theories that couldnt possibly be applied in a real life situation.

With that said there is a very big difference between my economics major in the business school, and an economics major in the psychology department.
