Psychology - Should I study it?

Killing yourself is a good option

I like psychology. Not only because of being an engineer it is great to see how the body as a machine works very precies and advanced, yet simplistic. But also because you learn how society is a machine that needs constant maintenance. But in the end you learn You, a human in a big machine called humanity which is part of Earth, the living planet

if you are interested in the mind do neuroscience at least you will be learn something objective and not bullshit

Behavioral economics has improved our understanding of economics
That's why I think cognitive biases are so interesting

Otherwise, yeah sure, psychology has still to prove itself

Society is not a machine that's why neo-classical economics has it wrong

Society is a complex system; complexity theory is where it is at

Significant things actually, mostly involving marketing, economic theory, strategic analysis, investigators for catching criminals, etc.

The real question is what has quantum mechanics ever done to advance civilization.
