You can't just call something you disagree with pseudoscience. Pseudoscience is when an argument is presented in a way that directly suggests it's a scientific finding, or suggests that it follows the scientific method, but does so only superficially.
No part of this article is intended to mislead you into thinking it's scientific or technical in nature. It is one person's opinion and they are sharing it and there's nothing wrong with that. You can disagree, agree, share your own insights, but calling it pseudoscience is uncalled for.
>If you are interested look for some real course in psychology and learn from there.
There is very little that one can learn from psychology (with respect to this topic) as psychology lacks a great deal of consensus on this and most other subjects, as well as an inability to reproduce a substantial portion of research. Take two different psychology courses related to what the author is discussing and you'll come away with two very different understandings.
Finally I would like to distinguish psychology from psychiatry, as the two are often lumped together, unfairly so.
- Hokusai 5y ago> call something you disagree with pseudoscience You are right, this is just bullshit. It does not pretend to be a scientific study, I over interpreted what it was saying. > There is very little that one can learn from psychology (with respect to this topic) as psychology lacks a great deal of consensus on this and most other subjects That is a reason to beware of some random opinion, assertiveness does not need to correlate with reason. That this text is assertive does not make it valuable. I see no more learning that people will categorize others in search of a simplicity that is not there. As I said, it's not insightful in any way, it just simplifies to make people feel smart and think that they understand some truth that is no there.
