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

So.just five people a prescription drug and shove em.out the door

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

thats not the scientific process though, thats statistics

Like did you know that separation between parts of the brain can "fix" epilepsy? Or that electroshock therapy is useful in cases of extreme depression?

XD sadly you need such an approach to get repeatable, if not 100%, results

Yeah the point ultimately is that we keep testing and iterating
