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

2019-03-16 20:26:46 UTC  

I have a fuckton of useless facts in my brain... but I was also really bad at studying.

2019-03-16 20:26:54 UTC  

lol

2019-03-16 20:27:25 UTC  

I never tried to remember those facts, it just happened. Something decides for me what should be "stored".

2019-03-16 20:28:26 UTC  

"Yes, I am such a loooooser with a high IQ, got a high IQ and I still manage to fuck shit up, such a loser amirite giys? :D"

2019-03-16 20:29:00 UTC  

Where's the lie? XD

2019-03-16 20:30:37 UTC  

I am not saying you are lying. (Although you are someone claiming to have a high IQ on the internet, so chances aren't exactly bad that you are.)
I'm just saying that your humblebrag has fooled precisely no one, it's very obvious. :P

2019-03-16 20:31:20 UTC  

It was also me being a smart ass.

2019-03-16 20:31:21 UTC  

It's more like self-deprecation in a way.

2019-03-16 20:31:37 UTC  

"I had it all and I fucked it up" - @Mr Strontium.
