My point is there is worthy, substantive scientific inquiry into these fields. But the current iterations have to go.
Psych has to go fully lean into STEM. fMRIs changed the game two+ decades ago and it's only gotten better since then. There is no reason for the bulk of psychology to exist outside of hard, verifiable science. It needs to marry Neuroscience, essentially.
Sociology at it's core is a worthy field of study, but everyone in every department has to go. We need to start over from the foundation. We need a new foundation throwing out Marx and Weber and Foucault. Probably by having a several year moratorium on those departments, which is a DRAMATIC step.
And that, too, needs to move into more hard science. Much more research needs to be conducted personally - get the fuck away from dependence on national data sets and regression models. Get the fuck away from activism. Get the fuck away from feminism.
Fair point.

We agree, I think.
