      As a biologist,

      We can’t even get the actions of water bears down.

      We have the entire genetic code and brain mapping of a fruit fly, and can get, very slow, good guesses about how they respond to very basic stimulus.

      Let’s not even get into epigenetics.

      I would never downplay the importance or difficulty of psychology.

      But I get nothing but kicks on this house of “science” memes.

      They would, but like… It’s just it’s such a broad statement that it’s kinda meaningless. As a term it encapsulates basically everything that’s going on in your brain.

      Isn’t the experiences of life encoded into the synaptic network of the brain?
