- cwkoss 5y agoPsychologists absolutely argue that they should be included in STEM.
- SeanLuke 5y agoSocial science is a science. That's the S in STEM.
- captainredbeard 5y ago> Social science is a science Wake me up when social science can reproduce their studies and I'll consider it a science. Until then, I consider it akin to "humours".
- SeanLuke 5y agoPopperism is not, and has never been, the definition of science. Science is straightforwardly defined: it is a pursuit of research whose primary mechanism for gathering knowledge about the world is the scientific method. Difficulties in methodology aside, social sciences primarily use the scientific method, and thus they are science.
- captainredbeard 5y agoYes, people call it science. Is it reliable? No. Therefore it's mostly irrelevant and at most it's an aid for strategy not tactics.
