Yeah, I took freshman sociology, and I don't even see that level of experience expressed often here.

- zozbot234 5y agoSociology is not really a social science. It deals in just-so stories, platitudes and bizarre musings. Science (of the non-experimental sort) is about making precise, rigorous arguments that can be checked for their soundness and assessed together with any available evidence.
- yunohn 5y agoYeah, I think this is exactly what the commenter meant - are you seriously beating the “social science is not a science” horse in this unrelated thread?
- j4yav 5y agoYes exactly, they sound just like that. And worse sometimes too, but that’s not a bad parody.
- karpierz 5y agoI can't tell if this is trying to demonstrate how HN users don't have a solid grasp of social sciences via parody, or a genuine post.
- Kye 5y agoI think you've confused popular attempts to over-fit the findings of sociology to social ills with sociology itself.
- spacemanmatt 5y agoFor reference, sociology is a statistical science. Like physics. It does seem like you are strictly unfamiliar with the practice of sociology.
