We're reaching "both sides of the climate change debate" levels of spinning here.
- IshKebab 9y agoYeah this must be how climate change deniers feel about the scientific view of climate change. It really feels like it's just one scientist's work against another. I don't have time to actually read their studies so how should I know who to believe? Of course this is much worse than climate change because that's 'hard science' where it's relatively easy to get good evidence. Psychology seems to be barely better than guesswork.
- nippples 9y ago> Psychology seems to be barely better than guesswork. It depends on the school of thought and experimentation methods. Some, for example, will focus almost exclusively in easily measurable physiological responses to stimuli and draw very restricted conclusions on their experimental results. Others will sit on a desk, reflect on their past and speculate extensively about human nature based on that. But yeah, it's a rather soft science.
