Do you believe parapsychology exists? That's essentially not falsifiable by adding the clause "you have to believe it for it to work".

- pmoriarty 10y agoI've never been interested enough in parapsychology to consider the evidence. My main point is that there are a lot of important things going on underneath the surface of science and psychology that are often unacknowledged and overlooked in most mainstream scientific and psychological literature -- things that make huge differences in what gets funding and that probably strongly influences the players in those games -- things that you have to read between the lines or study how the games are played to understand. PS: Apologies for the typos and word-omissions in my original post. The first sentence should have read: "Does whether some psychological studies are falsifiable matter?" That's what I get for being overeager to post without taking the time to proofread. I've gotten in to the bad habit of posting first and editing later, but didn't have time to edit my original post in time, and now HN does not let me edit it any more.
