Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

I must be tired. I'm thinking of a lot of Starwars parodys that M's grandma would disapprove of.

Hmmm...that's what Jdvn1 just insinuated too

Dirty minds think alike!

The English dictionary is a funny thing, and its not a trustworthy source for very much. One interesting trait of our language is that our dictionaries (unlike the French in particular) is highly mutable and changes to fit what the masses think, even if it is wrong. One example would be words that are now listed with a complete mispronunciation as the most common one (err is properly pronounced "UHR", but the masses say "AYR", grimace is "gri-MAYS" but the masses say "GRI-muhs", etc)...

These people say psychology is a science. They should be the source one would go to to find out on such matters.

All psychologists like to think that they are scientists because I guess they think it makes them feel more legitimate. I find them legitimate either way, but the total body of psychology is not a science. Does it contain sciences within it though? Sure.

I didn't say that the total body of psychology is a science, only that psychology is formally a science. Which it is. I'd contend that it contains non-sciences within it. In a similar way that Physics contains lots of theories that are unsubstantiated.

While not knowing what got you guys talking about psych I agree. It is a science but not all of it can be quantified or proven. It just is.

Drum roll, please.

Drum roll, please.

Sounds like a not very tasty sort of spring roll.
