Addiction and Self-Medication

[Fang]

Xise, science is essentially the myth of modern men (and women). It is simply the best we've ever had and the one that is allowing us to discover more about the universe and use that knowledge for the benefit of our race more so than any other myth has before.

I'm not saying people should just blindly follow science if that's what you're getting at, as that does happen, almost like a collective psychological transference of the church to the scientific community in terms of value. And yes, you can't expect everyone to be well versed in scientific knowledge as most scientists are only well versed in a certain field anyways lol. But the thing is, there is a difference between a pool of academic knowledge and a practitioner who is trained in that, I have no doubt that there are certain psychologists who are full of bs but they are hardly an accurate reflection of the field and it's practitioners as a whole.

My discussion has been about why two distinct subsets of people (those with scientific expertise in an area, and those without) can have trouble working with one another

Different strokes for different folks. I'll show myself out.
