General is a wildcard
this issnt really shitposting tbh
@Mallic Literally who
They aren't, only portions of them are
You are lol
Unless you're talking about people who call JBP a pseudoscientist
which is hilarious
Plenty considering it's harder to get empirical evidence regarding human behavior then it is for hard sciences like.physics
@Vesdii there have been several cases where Shitposting was used as a news-page in the past, just roll with it
Nah a lot of early psych absolutely was pseudoscience
Like Freud
And crackpots like to hide behind psych
Freud was on a lot of shit man
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ONTOLOGY OF FAITH AND THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF EMPIRISISM
Sounds good
Psychology is medicine
Medicine is statistics, not a science
not shitposting
XD
@Vesdii to be honest general is pretty mild
Medicine you can never guarantee the outcome, you can only assume that statistically you get a desired outcome
medicine is a science lmao, science is only about predictability
anything else is BS
It's like giving people mainainance
Well that's part of the testing process sadly
Its not a cure all
You can not with absolute certaintly predict medicine Cytos
medicine works 80% of the time? thats pretictable
You try collections of chemicals until one works
Is it permanant?
Sometimes it just makes things worse
can add a couple of factors to make the prediction more or less likely? good science
thats statistics
Because while we understand a lot more about the brain it's still a very complex organ
you dont need an absolute solution for it to be science
If i repeat the same testing of a medicine 10,000 times all the same test i will not get 10,000 times the same outcome
It deals with a whole fuckton of functions and wires get crossed in weird ways
science produces theories of predictability
Sigh I really don't like such mechanical robotic approaches to science
This is why on medicine theres always that disclaimer of "May cause side-effects"
so if it gets 80% the same result, you can sciencefy that in 80% of the time you will get that result
