  • Why Is (was) Psychology a Pseudoscience?

    —“You said Psychology is not a science. Can you explain this argument as you have done with Marxism? Thanks”—Jamie Watson PSEUDOSCIENCE (AND RELIGION – THE FEMININE) (a) based entirely upon projection – with no empirical content (meaning ‘no system of measurement’), (b) framed as authoritarian (monopoly) demand for homogeneity as its system of measurement (c) framed as deviation from a non-existent but feminine norm: (d) framed as guilt for deviation from the authoritarian, feminine, norm. (e) The scary one: Freud (using oppression into baseline) was trying to reverse Nietzsche (using freedom to exit baseline). Freud was just creating a pseudoscientific counter-revolution for the female mind(collectivism) against the restoration of the male mind(individualism) by Nietzsche. (Just as Marx and Boaz were creating a counter-revolution against Darwin. Just as Rousseau and Kant a counter-revolution against Locke/Smith/Hume/Newton.) SCIENCE (AND LAW – THE MASCULINE ) (a) all behavior is in pursuit of acquisitions (“man is acquisitive”) of every possible utility – “discounts on risk and calories”. (b) all emotions are reactions to changes in state of past, present, and future acquisitions – nothing more. Rewards for training a brain that can learn to acquire. (c) all emotions, personality traits, all cognition, and therefore all behavior are biased by the different reproductive strategies of males and females. (wolves(M-eugenic) vs deer(F-dysgenic)) (d) all acquisition-seeking is biased by class (familial, social, sexual, economic, political, and military market value) to others – in other words, the classes demonstrate biases that reflect the needs of their classes in competition-and-cooperation with the other classes. (e) We have a limited number of biological reward systems, and those reward systems appear to map to stages of the prey drive (our operational lifecycle) intersecting with our reproductive drives.

  • Can a Science of Psychology Exist?

    (only if it is demarcated from therapy) —“Do you think there can be any valid or empirical discipline called “psychology”?”—-Gearóid Walsh Great Question. At present I undrestand psychology (as a science) as the study of cognitive biases and limits, in the perception and cognition of information. At present I understand it is possible to integrate what we call psychology into the rest of the sciences using Acquisitionism which removes the authoritarian, monopoly, conformist, and feminine bias of pseudoscientific psychology from the discipline, producing a value neutral language of self interest. (Just as I see Propertarianism replacing social science and therefore integrating it fully into the rest of the sciences.) Acquisitionism is far more explanatory and fruitful than ‘conformity’ to an arbitrary norm. I do not see psychology holding only dominion over therapy (counseling, self help). I see that as the responsibility of stoicism (self authoring). And that such a field will make use of ‘reformed’ psychology.

  • No, Philosophy(choice) Is Subordinate to Science (truth)

    Again, economics and law, defeat philosophy, religious tradition, and moral justificationism. Demonstrated vs Reported. Always and everywhere. —“Philosophy is more fundamental than economics. The notion of making choices, based on rewards and punishment, implies some form of ethics, which itself is a branch of philosophy. Economics is not a floating abstract, disconnected from ethics or philosophy.”— Mark Goodkin It’s actually just physics. Morality=reciprocity, an reciprocity is the only system of measurement a cooperative species can use and survive. Philosophy allows us to choose preferences, but truth and falsehood are in the domain of science. Historically this relationship was mistakenly reversed because it threatened the status quo. Philosophy(middle class) like religion (underclass) is just the record of dissatisfaction: opposition literature. The ruling class rules, and they rule by law, and law and economics require reciprocity to fund the requirements for maintaining power. Science has a great track record. Philosophy has very arguable (if not certainly) done more harm than good. And theology has certainly done more harm than all but malaria and the black plague.

    You see, let a thousand nations bloom, and let a thousand philosophers bloom. Propertarianism is just science. What you do with that science is not my business – other than to enjoy the works you make with it.
