I distinguish between freudianism, psychologism, therapy, incentives/biases/limits/logic, neurochemistry, and cognitive science. When a person says “psychology” I usually have to deduce which of those they’re referring to. In my understanding psychology is used to refer to each of those. However, the first two are pseudosciences, therapy/self/help is something else, and the rest are sciences. Usually I am criticizing the use of the first two or the conflation of the first two with others. May 25, 2018 5:03pm

THE PROBLEM WITH THE CATEGORY ‘PSYCHOLOGY’.

ELI ON FEMALE COERCION
—“This is what women do. They mostly can’t think. And they mostly can’t argue. So to get their way, and to get what they want, they deploy “the feminine means of coercion” (shaming, ridicule, mockery, rallying, scolding, nagging, gossip, psychoanalysis) to try and raise the social and emotional costs of disagreement WITHOUT addressing legitimate points of controversy or noncomplience with their demands WITHOUT offering anything of value in return.
These means are dishonest, because they can be deployed to attack any point of view to advance or defend any other. They have no necessary connection to the truth. They are parasitic, because they are means of attempting to secure the *benefits* of cooperation, for the practitioner, at a discount – without paying all of the necessary costs. And they poison the dialog and lead to a general breakdown in cooperation and good order, and to hostility, acrimony, and bile instead, often boiling over into violence and other, more costly forms of conflict (e.g. “fighting words.”)
That’s why our ancestors punished and suppressed such behavior by a variety of means.But as restrictions on the use of violence and masculine coercion have proliferated and intensified, restrictions on rhetorical violence and feminine coercion have been lifted and abolished, feminizing and emasculating our society and placing it under the harping, nagging, screeching, demanding, devouring, parasitic, stifling, control of bitchy, entitled, overbearing, unplesent and mentally and emotionally fragile women.
At a time like this, over a medium like this, physical retaliation or other means of imposing costs to discourage such behavior are not realistic. But I’m damn sure not going to back down in the face of such c-ntery. I’m only going to escalate and double down to deprive its practitioners of satisfaction and let them know that we are not cooperating, that I do not need or desire their cooperation, and if they are going to deploy dishonest and parasitic methods I am going to consider us to be in conflict and seek to escalate that conflict by any and all means at my disposal, principally (here) by retaliation in kind (insults.)”— Eli Harman

PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT STEVE IS SAYING: K CONSTRAINS DAMAGE OF R. via Steve Pender Hmmm 99.9% of species have gone extinct. If you’ve seen that video about the impact of wolves on Yellowstone, it seems that predators are more important in keeping r selected species suppressed, than r selected species are at filling their little niches. Suppression of r selected species seems to have a cascading eugenic effect on nature, while unrestricted r-selected reproduction can lead to plagues, famines, etc. It could be that certain r-selected species may fill valuable niches that limit the expansion of more threatening r-selected species though. However, we do need bees (pollinators), and whatever insects decompose dead organic matter (recyclers).

( Most of the world is safe and enjoyable if you’re not an asshole. I’m not an asshole. Particularly in other countries. And I don’t associate with assholes in other countries. Nor do I engage in the activities that assholes engage in: drinking, drugs, large groups of people, making a lot of noise, generally trying to attract attention. The world punishes you for being an asshole. And so you shouldn’t be surprised that if you do, or enjoy doing, things assholes do, that regardless of where you are, you’re being treated like an asshole. Likewise the same applies to the naive. If you think the world isn’t full of a healthy distribution of assholes, and that you don’t have to take self responsibility for avoiding assholes, and people, places, and events where assholes congregate, then you are in fact, one of the assholes. )
