(4,762 posts)As a science professor I laugh hard at social psychology when it pretends to the certainty of "science." Do you know how much scandal there is over the non-replicatability of such research? As in almost none of it can ever be replicated? The definition of variables is already random and biased. The controls are a joke. Personality scales and the like have a long history of pseudoscience behind them.
So no, "science" didn't really find out anything here.
And good spelling and grammar remain important for civil and clear discourse.
In a way, sort of everything that's wrong with America is summarized in a mandate to be nice to uneducated morons with bad English and worse ideas. If you can't write a decent sentence you can't think about complex subjects. You are in Trump's "poorly educated" class. And he loves you. A stirring defense of ignorance in the name of civility is the definition of Idiocracy.
TLDR: get a brain MORANS.
