They are not. Or not even that they call themselves scientists but that society at large believes they are. Except for a much finer honed jargon and a very deliberate disguising of their human natures psychologists are no different than astrologers, phrenologists or alchemists.Jeff T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01520811975339950553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-77115451345229339972017-05-16T15:45:08.574-04:002017-05-16T15:45:08.574-04:00I'm not confident enough in my own infallibili...I'm not confident enough in my own infallibility to reject anything that has been around longer than I have, and which has helped millions of people, whether that is placebo or religion, heroin or math, ax or gun. Why would I reject neuroscience or psychology? To do so is to suffer from... well, you know. <br /><br />And sure Darwin described what we call the Dunning-Kruger Effect. So what? Both Dunning and Kruger noted that in their own work. Darwin could have cited Shakespeare, and Shakespeare could have cited Confucius. Again, Dunning and Kruger noted all that themselves. But the world calls it the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and so that's what we call it, same as a fish is called a fish and not a "poisson," and a copier is called a Xerox no matter the brand.<br />PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-55908132045044283422017-05-16T11:27:21.580-04:002017-05-16T11:27:21.580-04:00Did you go to the Wiki site for Dunning-Kruger Eff...Did you go to the Wiki site for Dunning-Kruger Effect? Such a perfect example of the complete bullshit which is Psychology. Darwin (an actual scientist) had described this in his lifetime and I'm sure any smart person since Gobekli Tepe has observed this in his fellow humans. Patrick- I admire your actual writing skills and original research so I don't understand why you buy into the pseudo sciences- Psychology, Neuroscience, etc...Jeff T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01520811975339950553noreply@blogger.com
