1:14 But if psychology is a subdivision of biology then surely biology is just a subdivision of chemistry because we are powered by reactions between molecules and we are made from atoms but if that is true then chemistry must just be a subdivision of physics because all atoms and chemical reactions follow the laws of physics and so why doesn't every scientist call themself a physicist since everything is just a subdivision of that?

I agree. I am myself doing a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry. My argument rests on stating that use of the scientific method does not by definition make something a science. There are aspects of psychology which are scientific, by which i mean objective and quantifiable. However far too much of it is subjective and often unfalsifiable. My auntie is a Dr. of developmental psych. We have this argument all the freakin' time.

Excellent channel. Thank you! I hope this develops as much as numberphile.

I subscribed to @psyfile since channel looks promising!

Ultimately, modern psychology is fusing more and more with neuroscience and can often offer causal explanations for many types of dysfunctional behaviors and trace them back to brain malfunctions or learned disorders and often can have quite a bit to say about how to treat them even without medication. In fact, it is quite uncommon to put people on permanent medication because of "chemical imbalance". Psychologists primarily use medication to enable people to get started on therapy.

So how would you define the word 'science'?

Y U NO MAKE MORE VIDEOS???

How does one "meditate" anyway? Does meditation have any hard beneficial effects or is it a placebo?

Would you mind provide me examples in which Keynesianism is a pseudo-economics?

Alright Brady!!! Now you have a Physics, Math Chemistry AND Psychology channel!!! :D you have officially made a channel for all my academic interests! THANK YOU!!

Do you have a channel like this on medicine?

how so? can you give an example?
