Weird approach to attack the substance of this sentence, since psychology is the most vague of sciences.


There's no substance in the sentence I quoted. That's what I pointed out. I haven't expressed any opinions regarding psychology.

> since psychology is the most vague of sciences

But since you make this claim, we can talk about it. So what's your advice? See religious scholars instead of board certified psychologists?


My advice is to keep an open mind to the possibility of someone having some level of wisdom without having an official degree™

And yes, I used the word wisdom on purpose :)


Depends on how you understand 'science'. I wouldn't describe empirical science as 'vague'. It doesn't aim for the core of a thing like other fields do. I mean, things are changing, but the goal for most psychologists is to help people.


To be fair, the parent made the claim.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and all that.
