What truly blows my mind is how gullible most humans are. Even with a snazzy infographic like this they just do not understand facts and empirical data.

Want some real fun? Try sitting through an episode of Dr. Phil or those morons on "the Doctors" with this list in hand...


Side Note: I have the entire Psych Dept at the Uni up in arms with this right now. No one likes a smart ass bio/chem major that points out their entire field of study is just poorly documented bullshit. LMAO

The good ones will admit a well researched and documented empirical study in the "soft sciences" is not only elusive in most cases, but requires a level of commitment and time(i.e. a group may have to be followed and studied for twenty plus years) in order to provide usable data. Let's face it. Many still deny the reality of mental illness. We are light years behind in the understanding of the mind. The true final frontier.
