Psychology is a bunch of "you did this because for some reason you want to fuck your mother" stuff. Study philosophy, and various religious texts, you'll get more out of them than a bunch of quacks.

I have studied it. it's pretty boring and frustrating, also, meme science.

>>9715863
Wrong, anon. I said a bunch of, not all of it is pretentious psychobabble that's driven by theories crafted by lunatics.

>>9715843
Freud was right about everything

>>9715938
He wasn't.
Sure it's not like the "ROFL U WANT TO FUCK MOM" meme, but he got wrong some things and the followers added/corrected things to his theories.

>>9715938
This.
I read that Freud on Da Vinci essay and it clicked that Freud is great

>>9714203
yea i think you're right thank you anon

I actually get paid to take part in psychological studies and I'm telling you that every single one of them is bullshit. The surveys they have me do are some of the most poorly written, poorly designed shit so that when you're taking it you know exactly what the researcher is looking for. There's no real quality control aside from some easily identifiable "attention checks" so there's nothing stopping me from answering randomly which I do all the time because the researchers don't actually poor read the individual responses, they just look at the aggregates. If you really want to see how bad the "science" of psychology is look up how they administer the implicit bias test and then recognize that they're trying to influence lawmakers to base policy off of it.

what's the quick rundown on it?

>>9716009
I'm not going to do your homework for you, brainlet.

>>9716009
It's good, and not that long If I remember correctly.
It's a great read.

Maybe you should stop wandering around your old highschool then and they wouldn't have to make up surveys for you to do to keep you from hitting on the 10th graders.

>>9716025
Fuck off, I have trips, faggot.

>>9716016
I'm too tired to read anything right now, I'll read it at some point, just wanted the gist of it.

>>9716025

Is that what they normally do to people who around high schools, they make surveys for them?

He analyses Da Vinci's life and attempts to pinpoint his creative genius, mother issues, etc.

Basically, Da Vinci is well known for having had a dream when he was a child about a bird brushing it's tail across his face. He wrote about it, etc, and Freud suggests that it's stems from his relationship with his mother (he was an unwatned bastard child, etc) and people have actually found shapes of this event happening in his images... almost like his subconscious leaked onto the page

Da Vinci was obsessed with birds, see Codex On The Flight Of Birds, his attempt to sketch/make a flying machine, etc

I used to get asked to do someones shitty high school survey for a class project like once a day towards the end of the semester.

>>9716030
My gist doesn't do it justice but I read the whole thing in one sitting anyway, it was fascinating

>>9716041
>>9716049
Sounds very interesting. Where did you read it? I see there's something on Gutenberg, I assume that's it?

>>9716045

Good for you but I'm talking about academic surveys of the sort that end up being published in journals. Though I can't imagine there's much of a difference between your high school stuff and the university stuff that pays.

>Psychology is a bunch of "you did this because for some reason you want to fuck your mother" stuff
Is this true for women as well as men? I've always wondered.

>>9716053
Think I may have read it on Gutenberg

>>9716062
Obviously.
>What are daddy issues
It's probably more so for women
