"Now Witkowski has written a new book, to be published later this year, Psychology Led Astray: Cargo Cult in Science and Therapy,
that is certain to ruffle a lot of feathers. He compares psychology to
cargo cults. He says, 'the cargo cult phenomenon is virtually absent in
physics, chemistry, and mathematics, yet it runs rampant in both
psychology and sociology.' He uncovers cargo cult practices in
psychology, unmasking therapies that are devoid of science, dangerous,
and even cruel, especially those directed at children."
Cargo Cult Psychology
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
