    Psychology is not a science at all. The most famous psychologist in the world today believes in magic(as part of the therapy) and somehow his rivals still manage to outcrazy him.

    as it’s often very unreliable.

    Compared to what more reliable alternative? If you’re faced with attempting to understand a mental or emotional condition are you going to turn to tarot cards, astrology, or “bad spirits” instead?

    You’re dismissing the best known mental science of today. What does that leave you with instead to use?

      If you had a question and two false answers, you got unsolved question.

      In simpler terms we don’t have to assume the answers based on science.

      In my opinion the core psychology problems might be solved in 10-30 years specifically with the evolution of AI which would make it easier to find bad un-reproducible studies.

      Hopefully we will see better diagnosis also due to technology.
