So STEM types arrogate "real science" to themselves, while they suffer the same reproducibility crises as "soft" science. They also seem to be ignorant of the histories and developments of social sciences, so cannot even conceive how they could be scientific. It's myopic.

STEM is science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Yes, these are hard sciences. Medicine and economics are soft sciences and yes, they suffer a lot more from a lack of reproducibility than STEM studies.

It’s myopic to say social psychology is not a real science and should be ignored.
