    “IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE IT’S DIFFICULT”, vs “IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE THE OVERVIEW IS SIMPLE”.
    Why do you think you could understand say, category theory in mathematics, the emergence of the primary forces from discrete pressure, the biochemistry of proteins and their potential organization as a means of doing work, or say, the formal logic of legal proof, and grasp it from a just a paragraph? What about something as simple as the C programming language, or the Economics of human behavior? Or the difference between justification, falsification, and adversarial survival? And how should one explain any of those in a few paragraphs to people with no substantial education in them?
    Our work (my work) is both vast and extremely technical, but the solutions that we are capable of producing are practical.
    Why is it that you would presume to understand a thing if it was as revolutionary as darwin, and as complex as the innovation of computation?
    It’s because for some reason people expect ethical, moral, economic, legal, and political thought to be simple – it isn’t.

    We can all be trained to deal with circumstances. At least most of us can. Unfortunately we didn’t train women to enter the workforce with the skills necessary to preserve internal competition without social conflict.

    I keep repeating: most of our problems that are not IQ…

  • Q: End Psychology and Continue with Cognitive Science, or Continue the Reformati

    Q: End Psychology and Continue with Cognitive Science, or Continue the Reformation of Psychology as Intended by Cognitive Scientists?

    In my understanding, the discipline of psychology, if it exist at all, consists of the discovery and documentation of cognitive abilities and biases that affect our behavior.
    Yes this is all biological, or more reductively, just physics at play.
    The cognitive scientists revolted against psychology precisely because it had no scientific basis. At present psychology is being reverse colonized by cognitive science. Though as you’re demonstrating, psychology being (a) the means of feminine manipulation and undermining (b) the contemporary equivalent of Astrology. So for the public and to end the public use of this pseudoscience, it might be better to just burn the discipline at the pseudoscientific stake, and just fully adopt the cognitive science framing.
    I’m not sure we shouldn’t reform the discipline so that it is free of freudian feminine bias and simply the science of cognitive biases and resulting behavior just as we treat biology as processes with deterministic ranges of output and resulting consequences to homeostasis and behavior.
    You might be right that we should abandon the term, and adopt a new one that is devoid of this feminine mental disease in the field. But I feel the more responsible and durable solution is to purge and reform the field so that it is free of the psuedoscience and fraud and manipulation that is endemic to the feminine mind, and the minds of those who produced that pseudoscience.
    I might be wrong.
    Happy to hear opinions.

    I think you are missing the point of mirroring as a means of education.

    1) reflect the insult
    2) restate the central point.
    3) repeat until obvious

    Another feminine example of claiming a victory when none was achieved.

    I mean. Seriously. You need education AND therapy. Consider testosterone injections?
