I could pick up probably any psychology book and be able to understand it after familiarizing myself with the jargon.

I would like to see a psychologist say the same about general relativity.

Probably Google does that because of A.I. research bullshit.
Yet they keep on getting that nice data from everyone, probably even BTFO'ing NSA.

I like how you're all laughing, but she's actually right.

If we understood psychology in the way that we understand other sciences, our civilization would now be on a straight path.

most CS people are former mathfags or something

like me. I really have natural sciences, like physics and chem, but math is my shit. What's the best way of making money off of that? CS obviously

True psychology is difficult. Publishing in psychology, however, is piss easy.

Susan j flower self taught physics and MS Stanford student, never publish, psychology end up begin to politice or only use young students as source.

Psychology is not conceptually difficult, but for me the hardest thing is trying to understand a particular psychological phenomenon from all the different perspectives that are important. For example, take something like depression - you can understand it through various different cognitive models (each of which might be very similar to the others, with slight nuances), you can look at the actual physical structure of the brain and take a neuropsychological view, you can look at the behaviourist approach and see how depression to a certain extent can be learned through experience, you can take the developmental perspective to understand how certain early experiences and attachment styles can influence later outcomes. It's no longer mainstream in psychology, but you can look at a psychoanalytic view, and get all Freudian if you want to. No one of these views is necessarily more correct than the others - they all converge into something that resembles a psychological 'truth'.

The real sciences are definitely more conceptually difficult than psychology, but I don't think you have this problem.

tfw just about to publish my first paper in a psychology journal, and this is true. The globalisation of academia means that some really bad papers are getting published - I've read lots of papers that are written in such poor English that they're barely comprehensible. Not sure how they made it past peer review, people probably didn't want to get called racist.

Except people who do hard sciences are dumb as rocks

all sciences are super easy.
