I was always propagator of real sciences against so called humanities (see The Two Cultures by C. P. Snow... )
But during reading this site - especially most of the members; sometimes some moderators hmmm -, I am certain that psychology has raison d'être !
What about those two Wikipedia articles do you want me to note or to understand?
I do have to admit that I have a bias against those who get advanced degrees in soft sciences and the Humanities. I'm not sure why other than I'm suspicious, on some level, that most of them are simply not good thinkers and couldn't get a degree in a hard science or in a discipline society actually needs. Of course, there are exceptions, but they're probably few and far between.
by the way, an ex-wife of mine is a theoretical physicist now. She was far, far, far smarter than I could ever hope to be and I wish her the best, because, if that wish comes true, we'll have a Grand Unified Theory in 20 years.
