Psychology really isn't the worst field out there. They do at least talk about their problems and claim to care about them, which is better than most fields. They actually do try to replicate each other's results sometimes and publish it when they fail. I used to believe psychology must be uniquely bad, these days I think it's just uniquely honest (!). There are dozens of well known fields that are built on epistemological quicksand yet which point-blank refuse to admit to or talk about their problems. Because they have a culture of deny deny deny, even when the evidence is overwhelming, they actually get less attention because why bother doing a nice writeup of fraud if you know the result will just be stonewalling? It's better to focus on fields where there might be some actual response, a chance of improvement, no matter how minor.
