“Psychology worthless because brain is a computer”

See this? This right here? This is you attacking the choice of metaphor rather than the content.

    Most psychology is BS and the entire field is little better than pseudoscience.

    psychology is like watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people demonstrating the software.

    One provides answers. The other provides guesses.

    Such metaphor!

    Until you touch a computer enough to come up with a superior replacement to EMDR or CBT therapy procedures that actually helps people in need of such help, you're just huffing your own farts while trying to invalidate centuries of academia.

    I think even psychologists cackle about that one now, but it's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it's actually quite effective with treating certain personality disorders if the program is adhered to. Compared to "that's all bunk, brain scans/computer comparisons are all you need bro, trust me bro" dismissive claims backed by nothing, one has actually helped millions of people.

    The metaphor was the only content you fucking moron, and it wasn't even a good one. And that's not even to mention whatever you were saying about the brain being like soil or whatever lmfao. Just admit the few sentence throwaway comment you made was stupid and move on, Jesus Christ.
