The ‘doctor’ knew what his opinions were and he KNEW they were correct (after all, they were HIS opinions).
Actually performing research using the scientific method Research would have been a colossal waste of time and money.
Psychologists have no morals. They are “me first” and that is what they “counsel”. Before I figured this out, I actually had one say to me “what’s in it for you?” Since I am Catholic, such comments were meaningless. Christians, real Christians, don’t operate out of selfishness as their primary motivation. Psychologists do. I even asked another one, “How does that fit in with Judeo/Christian values?” and she was dumbstruck.
I wonder how many of the left's favorite social issues are backed up by bogus experiments? Most of them?
Liberalism corrupts everything it touches. Even a quasi-science like psychology. Why should we be surprised?
MsGoogle... Pseudo-Sciences: Sociology and Psychology….
Precisely. Many "scientists" get the funding for their work from politicians in DC. If they want to eat on a regular basis, all they have to do is to find "scientific evidence" that backs up the agenda of the corrupt political class (ie: finding any and all excuses possible to raise taxes on the clueless masses who always fall for the illigitimate "argument by authority"). The "global warming HOAX is the most recent glaring example. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
ALWAYS.
"...the vast majority of academic "product" is merely junk food for the mind (as always, we are speaking of the humanities, or subhumanities, to be exact)."
"..A magazine such as Psychology Today represents stupidity squared, because it mostly boils down the nonsense of academia for a semi-literate audience, in the same way that Time or Newsweek purvey idiotarian liberal conventional wisdom to the 8th grade mass-mentality. " ...."
And the NY Slimes headlined every one of Stapel’s bogus “findings”. Because the “findings” fit into the leftwing preconceptions of the Slimes.
Stapel has at least apologized. How about an apology from the Slimes?
When one thinks of court cases which may well have been decided wrongly, influenced by some expert’s testimony based on bogus research, the destruction wrought by the actions of thse people can only be punished in a different venue by someone far beyond my pay grade.
It appears that psychology “research” has members who are as mathematically and morally challenged as climate “research”.
Of course, both types make Sheldon laugh out loud.
Why not?
