My problem is that I don’t believe in psychology. I am a psychology atheist. I believe in animal behaviorism, because that is scientific and repeatable.
If you can’t repeat it, it isn’t science. Remember the recent study where they re-did a bunch of famous psychology experiments? Only a small fraction yielded the same results. Not repeatable; not science.
A friend and I were talking about acupuncture, how it’s an ancient and respected practice. How it works for many people. How it may be, like psychology, a pseudo-science. But we concluded: Whatever works. Maybe it’s the placebo effect, maybe it’s real, but who cares if it’s working?
This is why psychology will never work for me. I simply don’t believe that it will.
