    This is you attacking the choice of metaphor rather than the content.

    See this? This right here?

    Most psychology is BS and the entire field is little better than pseudoscience.

    psychology is like watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people demonstrating the software.

    One provides answers. The other provides guesses.

    Such metaphor!

    Until you touch a computer enough to come up with a superior replacement to EMDR or CBT therapy procedures that actually helps people in need of such help, you're just huffing your own farts while trying to invalidate centuries of academia.

        I think even psychologists cackle about that one now, but it's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it's actually quite effective with treating certain personality disorders if the program is adhered to. Compared to "that's all bunk, brain scans/computer comparisons are all you need bro, trust me bro" dismissive claims backed by nothing, one has actually helped millions of people.

          It was a genuine question. I am not a native speaker so I know a different set of specialized terms for this type of thing.

            It's all good.

            Whether or not it may be useful to you, looking up Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may be interesting to you all the same.
