lol

2019-03-16 20:11:15 UTC  

Another demonstration of your ignorance.

2019-03-16 20:11:42 UTC  

Neuroscience has already helped wheelchair bound people get movement again, already produced effective treatments for neurological disorders.

2019-03-16 20:13:08 UTC  

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.

2019-03-16 20:13:18 UTC  

Physiotherapy? Fuck'em, I just gave him some pills and now he can walk!

2019-03-16 20:13:52 UTC  

Usually, neuroscientists tend to be rather "humble" and "realistic" and they know that their field is still in its infancy.

2019-03-16 20:14:03 UTC  

Ah, LM22B-10, LM11A-31. I wonder how they'll go.

2019-03-16 20:14:11 UTC  

lol

2019-03-16 20:14:35 UTC  

I am aware that the field is in it's infancy. However, this was not what you claimed earlier.

2019-03-16 20:15:09 UTC  

Don't just try and change what you said in an attempt to not be wrong, I can scroll back.

2019-03-16 20:15:16 UTC  

It's underdeveloped and, as a result, rather useless.

2019-03-16 20:15:26 UTC  

Not at all.

2019-03-16 20:15:35 UTC  

I would likely be dead without it.

2019-03-16 20:16:54 UTC  

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.

2019-03-16 20:16:55 UTC  

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.

2019-03-16 20:17:21 UTC  

lol

2019-03-16 20:17:43 UTC  

The idea that you are equipped to judge the "good" ones is laughable, to put it charitably.

2019-03-16 20:17:52 UTC  

I went to like 4 different psychologists during 7 years. During that time I tried to kill myself twice, none saw it coming.

2019-03-16 20:18:07 UTC  

It's all bullshit.

2019-03-16 20:18:09 UTC  

lol

2019-03-16 20:18:38 UTC  

I stopped going when I became an adult, probably the best decision I've ever made.

2019-03-16 20:18:50 UTC  

Oh, psychology is second only to sociology in paucity of rigour.

2019-03-16 20:19:25 UTC  

Everything related to mental health is based on thin air.

2019-03-16 20:19:37 UTC  

(Sociology makes psychology look like chemistry, because it's just that bad.)

2019-03-16 20:19:54 UTC  

They only know about 1 thing: GIMME MONEY. 💰

2019-03-16 20:22:22 UTC  

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.

2019-03-16 20:22:34 UTC  

That thing is IQ tests.

2019-03-16 20:22:52 UTC  

They have excellent predictive capability.

2019-03-16 20:23:28 UTC  

Not really, those 4 psychologists thought I was a genius or some shit.

2019-03-16 20:23:41 UTC  

Did they do an IQ test?

2019-03-16 20:23:52 UTC  

Several, at least a couple each one.

2019-03-16 20:24:03 UTC  

They administered two IQ tests per month?

2019-03-16 20:24:25 UTC  

Not that often, also most of the ones I did were fairly lengthy.

2019-03-16 20:24:36 UTC  

OH

2019-03-16 20:24:44 UTC  

A couple for each therapist, I see.

2019-03-16 20:25:11 UTC  

You realise that it is possible to have a high IQ and be a dysfunctional loser at the same time, right?

2019-03-16 20:25:32 UTC  

One made me take an IQ test that was based on answering stuff correctly in a row (all questions kept getting harder). He was all like "I have your files so I expect this will take us 2 sessions", we went on for like 3 and a half.

2019-03-16 20:25:38 UTC  

I'm living proof of that, Ebow.

2019-03-16 20:26:02 UTC  

I mean, having a high IQ makes LOADS of things easier, but you can still fuck it all up.

2019-03-16 20:26:30 UTC  

I have a weird memory. I mostly remember things at random. It doesn't really matter whether I try to memorize it or not.

2019-03-16 20:26:43 UTC  

@Mr Strontium Really, no one asked you to join the humblebrag internet high IQ club. :P
