@MentORPHEUS thanks, man!

There's a book by Randolph Nesse called Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry, where he acknowledges what is evident but hardly talked about: psychology and psychiatry is a mess, a patchwork of diverse and often contradicting theories.

The guy, Nesse, almost single-handedly introduced a whole new scientific field with his previous work, the one of Evolutionary Medicine. Now, he proposes that work is undertaken to integrate all the psychological approaches under an evolutionary paradigm.

The thing is that there are too many university professors with invested interests in this or the other approach, so such a thing is unlikely to happen, at least for a while.

As a result, you have psychologists sticking to a specific approach, e.g. CBT, especially if working in an institute that demands it, and psychologists synthesising their own approach trying to be more flexible and effective.

The main problem in the field is, of course, the Blue Pill. Most men end up there in a process of working through the abuse suffered in the hands of their own mother, and typically adopt a supplicating position: Look, mom, I have a theory that makes you shine with a godly light! Now give me a hug!

I appreciate Maslow too, and I do think that self-actualisation is still the overarching aim for men. That said, most men nowadays are faced with an extreme attack on their very integrity as a person, a female-coded "primacy of chaos over order". So, the need of stabilizing themselves is usually what gets them to ask for help.

Another point: I've come to appreciate the psychoanalysts, more than what is taken for granted in the Angosaxon countries. At least they do have the notions of male and female separate - and that's why they are under attack.

And, of course, for men that are not burdened excessively by their own developmental history, I've confirmed that the Red Pill has already identified a credible way to engage the sexual landscape.

@adam-l Great news. Congratulations!

Its such an exciting field to qualify in because there is still so much left to discover. Its like the moment that alchemy turned into chemistry. People were not often wrong before but they weren't always right and they didn't understand why they were right when they were. They didn't have all the facts and there was no joined up body of universally agreed knowledge to work from. Are you going to do any research?

I should think that in coming years, there will be a lot renown to be won by disruptors who have nothing to lose, who produce science that may be hard to get published but is also factually correct, destroying the woke consensus. People will look back on them and say they were brave, true scientists who followed the evidence.

I remember sitting in a Psychology lecture in the early 90's. The lecturer told us he was going to tell us some unfashionable scientific truths that he felt the establishment had been brushing under the carpet. I recall him saying Blacks were two standard deviations below the men in IQ, Asians a few points above, that women were a few points below men and so on. Girls we would now call woke were getting up and leaving the lecture, some twat who belonged to the hunt saboteurs and sold the socialist worker (not that he ever did a day of work) outside the students' union shouted something in protest. And I thought "Fuck me, this is what I have been waiting for. The truth is coming" But it didn't come, did it... Maybe now, maybe you?
