Weakness is strength. Successfully dealing with hardships and adversity is no longer politically acceptable. Only the government can cope on your behalf.

So is what’s being passed off as “science” these days.
If it can’t ultimately be reduced to physics and mathematics, it’s not science.

Psychology is an art.
That's hard to master.
Unfortunately, it's cheap to teach compared to STEM studies, so schools hand out degrees like candy for a hundred or two thousand [dollars].
Even more unfortunate is the legal weight given to psychology.

What’s a shame is that cognitive science is doing great in other areas.

Feminazis were certifiably crazy and pro chaos.
This is their handiwork.
This is not an empty claim and I can cite some names.

Those guidelines suggest that "40 years of research" show that "traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful and that socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly." The APA explains that "traditional masculinity -- marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression -- is, on the whole, harmful. Men socialized in this way are less likely to engage in healthy behaviors." These people are idiots.
Anyone who has ever know a man who does not suppress his emotions will tell you that it is not a good idea.
Men who do not suppress their emotions are vicious brutes who beat up women and children. Death by blunt force trauma is often the final outcome of living with a man that does not suppress his emotions.

Students study psychology to figure out is wrong with themselves and then they rationalize their abnormalities.

There was no "dr. spock" on Star Trek.
Mr. Spock? Yes. He had no doctorate.

Looking back to one’s college years, ‘Did you ever meet a psych major that wasn’t psycho?’. It always seemed to me they were in that major to try and unravel their own problems.

...Psychology is a fraud. Its not science.
Psychology is heavily observer dependent
Subsequently, it is quite resistant to
applying the Scientific Methods
Data is filtered through the same biases and perspective
that we all have. It is unavoidable.
We all all trapped in a “Hall of Mirrors”

I guess I've been doing it wrong for 87 years. Too late for me to change, though.

He may have had one but he was a serving military officer. He went by that title. That is the proper protocol. (Anyway its a TV show!) I know military officer with PhDs. If still in uniform I never call them Dr Captain, Colonel or General (or Captain, Colonel or General Dr!), if out of uniform then Dr so-n-so. If I know their pervious rank out of respect of for that rank I still call some of them by that rank until they tell me not to.
Of course they all have to call me the “Nameless One “ and avert their eyes!

True, but this is another significant step in demonizing straight, traditional male (mostly white) behavior and is part of a real campaign to marginalize men who function as males traditionally do. The left is evil and it does make value judgments. A big one id that normal white men are the problem and cause of every problem in the world. This is learned bs similar to the so-called scientific basis for antisemitism. Already it is becoming OK to use eliminationist rhetoric about white people and specifically white men. There is a really eerie similarity to what is happening here to intellectual trends in Germany after WW1. The difference is the targeted group here will not be as passive as Germany's Jews. Still this is a very menacing trend and one I truly never thought would ever appear in this country. Progressives are both evil and crazy.

If you believe in evolution, this argues against that theory.
Millions of years of evolution cant be wrong.

I once taught a college course called Cultural Diversity which covered certain minority groups to help the students understand and sympathize with them, as well as to motivate support for their struggles to obtain equal rights. Given my background, I added a short unit on Jews. When college administrators realized this, the course was openly taken away from me for this reason. I was told that the American problem is white males and, as Jews are white males, they are part of the problem. Is history being repeated in America?
