Bring papers, proof and Science and we talk. Why would anyone even take the time to bother? You've already decided that psychology isn't a sufficiently hard sc

  Because it isn't, science is a strict term... this is a challenge for psychology/psychiatry and neuroscience(best hopes) as whole and it's not one or two weirdo proposing it... it's being thrown in it's face and begged for even by the people ~there~ itself. Of course there's good willing people there, but there's also the 'Big Pharma' issue, the 'lets put 4 year olds on drugs' issue, a past of it being used to reinforce biases(against homosexuals, for slavery, as argument to lock state-enemies in Russia, Nazi Germany). Also, normally when it's scientifically proven isn't it like "done, next question" and then they actually answer the question? They didn't got there yet it seems. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment Disclosure: Yes, I know there's situations so extreme need 'anything that helps', I've seen it in my family. With me, a bipolar 'diagnosis' and drug prescription got me 4 seizures that could have brought lasting damage, even as the dosage, the psychiatrist later confessed under my pressure, was already multiple times lower than what was considered the minimum, but he wouldn't admit having any responsibility for it, which led me to doing my own research and finding documented cases of seizures and even deaths as consequence. Anyway, gave the FU(metaphorically) to this, kept reading, making sure it was informed/not-in-denial, 3 years, not a problem, but I still have to hear about how I can't swim, box or "shouldn't even drive", this sort of stuff.
