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

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.
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

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Half-life means how soon a given concept is disproven or considered out of date.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"
