@adam-l "I wanted you to fight for me!"
So dumb.
@adam-l exactly.
When Robert Nozick rescinded much of what he wrote, to point that out was seen as ad hominem and still didn't address his previous arguments.
Same with Buss. His old stuff is great.
@Typo-MAGAshiv this goddamit! I was so vexxed about it.
He's an old man and he has to take care of his legacy, so I understand the pressures.
We'll keep using his older theories, though, thank you very much.
They have exiled evolutionary psychology
Worse yet: one of its pioneers, Dr. David Buss, has caved in and sold out.
@First-light thanks, man!
Alchemy is the exact word that was occupying my mind during many of the courses.
The field is sadly overrun by hysterics - the woke, the postmoderns, the feminists. They have exiled evolutionary psychology, the shy away from research on "sensitive" issues, etc.
So there is fragmented scene with bits ann pieces of the puzzle scattered around. Ripe for anyone daring to put them together, all right!
And, again, it is as you say: plenty of evidence to disrupt the mainstream narrarive out there, and, most importantly, really fun to do so...
@Typo-MAGAshiv Thanks, mate!
It's the Bachelor's. 4 years at the top uni. Entry exams were a literal bloodbath...
I have a M.Sc. and degrees in a couple of other fields too.
Paradoxically, I was never a proper nerd either.
@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?
