The Godcast


Feb 20, 2022

In this week's episode, SuperLutheran and Myles go over what a useless and dismal field of inquiry psychology is.  Emails as usual in the second half.

Myles episode prep notes and links:

Psychology is mostly BS.The entire field operates like a collection of rabbinical cults, where a prominent figure will postulate a theory, accrue data that backs up the assertions while ignoring failures, and will aggressively push said theory. See: John Money, Freud, etc.Often times, these theories are simple projection.


The DSM is completely unreliable and extremely prone to politicization.

Zero research was done to de-pathologize homosexuality or transsexualism: youtu.be/BPgq1c4TYi4
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201509/when-homosexuality-stopped-being-mental-disorder Psychology Today conveniently leaves out the circumstances of this change.


The APA is seeking to remove pedophilia from the DSM: breitbart.com/politics/2013/11/02/american-psychiatric-association-reclassifies-pedophilia/

 The general trend of psychology has been to normalize abnormal behavior while pathologizing normal behavior (ADHD, boredom, frustration, etc), especially among boys.

"Gaming disorder:" https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/internet-gaming#:~:text=The%20proposed%20symptoms%20of%20internet%20gaming%20disorder%20include%3A,enjoyed%20activities%20due%20to%20gaming%20More%20items...%20

This is unsurprising considering who chooses to work in psychology.2/3rds of clinical psychologists are mentally damaged: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jclp.22614
aura.antioch.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1310&context=etds 

Psychology majors aren't terribly bright, clocking in at under +1 standard deviation: bachelor-of-education.org/college-major-iq/

Psychology studies are completely unreliable. Most are done on psych students: psychcentral.com/blog/psychology-secrets-most-psychology-studies-are-college-student-biased

Half-life of psychology studies is less than a decade: sites.psu.edu/nealondiscussion/2018/10/26/social-psychology-studies-are-complete-and-utter-bullshit/ 

Half-life means how soon a given concept is disproven or considered out of date. Note that the Geocentric model is still mathematically valid.

Isolating factors is nearly impossible: digest.bps.org.uk/2017/12/12/interviews-with-milgram-participants-provide-little-support-for-the-contemporary-theory-of-engaged-followership/

Majority of studies are not reproducible: see "replication crisis"

"Experts" are often frauds: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Bettelheim

Psychology goes along with the most profitable treatment options for any given disorder: Deinstitutionalization at the behest of drug companies: kevinturnquist.org/deinst.php
