I trust that, one day, neuroscience will reach a point where it can actually cure people and basically just be another regular part of medicine. Right now? It's closer to homeopathy than to anything actually effective.
lol
Homeopathy is literally nothing, and cannot, according to basic physics, actually work.
Well, the use of literally no dose of a substance.
Well, neuroscience is so underdeveloped it's closer to that than to anything that should be considered "science".
lol
Another demonstration of your ignorance.
Neuroscience has already helped wheelchair bound people get movement again, already produced effective treatments for neurological disorders.
And even if it were as "underdeveloped" as you claim, it STILL would be science, because whether or not something is science does not simply depend on how "advanced" it is deemed to be. You can do science with a pen, paper and your eyes.
Physiotherapy? Fuck'em, I just gave him some pills and now he can walk!
Usually, neuroscientists tend to be rather "humble" and "realistic" and they know that their field is still in its infancy.
Ah, LM22B-10, LM11A-31. I wonder how they'll go.
lol
I am aware that the field is in it's infancy. However, this was not what you claimed earlier.
Don't just try and change what you said in an attempt to not be wrong, I can scroll back.
It's underdeveloped and, as a result, rather useless.
Not at all.
I would likely be dead without it.
I get it, it's your job (or you want it to be your job), but that doesn't mean you should be like "NEUROSCIENCE IS SAVING MANKIND AS WE SPEAK". The good ones in your field always tend to be open about how little they actually know.
It might even help you a lot to, if you didn't trust your own ignorance so much over the flawed but still useful training of psychiatrists.
The idea that you are equipped to judge the "good" ones is laughable, to put it charitably.
I went to like 4 different psychologists during 7 years. During that time I tried to kill myself twice, none saw it coming.
It's all bullshit.
lol
I stopped going when I became an adult, probably the best decision I've ever made.
Oh, psychology is second only to sociology in paucity of rigour.
Everything related to mental health is based on thin air.
(Sociology makes psychology look like chemistry, because it's just that bad.)
They only know about 1 thing: GIMME MONEY. 💰
I will say though, ironically, one of the few things social psychologists have produced that is rigorous is the most hated by the left, who like to use their stodgy research.
That thing is IQ tests.
They have excellent predictive capability.
Not really, those 4 psychologists thought I was a genius or some shit.
Did they do an IQ test?
Several, at least a couple each one.
They administered two IQ tests per month?
Not that often, also most of the ones I did were fairly lengthy.
OH
A couple for each therapist, I see.
You realise that it is possible to have a high IQ and be a dysfunctional loser at the same time, right?
