Psychology is a prime example of mainstream pseudo science. It takes coincidences and half truths and makes broad and wild claims that can never be proven, but are accepted anyway. They have a reproducibility crisis because they are full of shit. You would never get told by a science teacher that something is the way it is because a scientist says so, or that they are right because they are the professor. That is very common in the "soft" sciences; which apparently is just another way to say pseudo science. No one in a real science course would tell you that you aren't qualified to challenge something in the course until you get your doctorate in it; yet that is how these pseudo science fields operate. It is hot garbage.
