is something to trust. It is psychology (behavior) linked with medicine. Not all psychiatrists on the other hand are trust worthy. Many Psychologists, but not all, are mere dime store shrinks, as the book you referenced probably conveys one way or another (I'll have to read it). Their development of strange theories is simply their own reflections of thought projected onto paper. I'll trust social scientists if they obey reason, and seek for more efficient and fairer distribution of resources, including information (i.e education and communication infrastructure), within a population. Scientific process relies on trusting numbers to understand the world. When I mention that I would trust psychiatrists, social scientists and some psychologist, I place a condition that they do rely on statistics (i.e numbers) to form conclusions and or theories. Trusting numbers is the polar opposite to trusting one's own reflections of thought, as dime store shrinks do. Trusting numbers is also a cure for paranoid schizophrenia. ;-) |
