Near-Incurable

That is the scary fucked up shit we should be concerned about. As if me getting a bad spray tan will somehow prevent me from turning into a Clicker from the Last of Us.

Crap like that is added into the neo-nazi pamphlets to recruit new members.

Psychology is not, nor has it ever been, a real science. An opinion guessing game where people try to guess at the behaviors of one of the most complex animals on the planet. Unless a computer, or something using the scientific method, shows repeatable results there's nothing to talk about.

An MRI Scan can prove someone is a psychopath. That is science. You can do the experiment to get consistent results. If anything, that shouldn't be in an area of psychology, that should under the purview of neurological specialist.

Stuff that can't be proven isn't a science. This blanket "white bad" statement needs more evidence than him looking in the mirror for half a second. Protecting hate speech under the veil of "Scientific Opinion" needs to stop. Show evidence or stfu.

Shit like this is causing masses of idiots to riot.

Of course psychology is a real science.

How to fuck with people's minds is big business, and there is a lot of money and scientific research going on in influencing choices, feelings and beliefs. When I was studying it, 30 years ago, it was a deep and wide field of study.

Fucking muppet.

and no, a mri scan cannot prove psychopathy. That's a psychological label. MRI can only confirm structural or functional correlates of psychopathy, as described by psychology.
