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

Is this why certain circles hate rupert sheldrake so much?

XD just ask tesla

Nobody iterates on "it's magic"

Scientific process is, you make a hypothesis

And every single time i test it (bar wrongful anomalies) i will get the exact same outcome as your hypothesis prescribes

im sure he was mad depressed

and was electrocuting himself

as a treatment

That's not a treatment that's a fetish

hey if it worked

principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses

i mean fuck he lost everything and died pennyless
