Not scientific, basically a blog post with lots of vague declarations.
- jdksmdbtbdnmsm 3y agoHardly less scientific than western psychology
- Quinzel 3y agoI agree with you. But I still find it an interesting theory, which I feel compelled to dig a little deeper into it. But I’ve made an observation: people on HN seem to respond more to unscientific blog posts, than actual scientific journal articles etc… So I’ve been occasionally sharing a mixture of both blog posts and more academic papers, and seeing what people are more likely to respond to. I’m coming to the conclusion that people like easy to read, feel good stuff that takes minimal effort to comprehend versus actual science/academic stuff which may require a little bit more effort to read. This may be why there is such an issue with misinformation/disinformation - however my observations are not scientific either so I can’t say for sure anything about anything.
