I don't get hate for sociology

>humans are social creatures
>we live in a society
>understanding our socities might help us improve it and make it much more efficient
>chuds think it's useless to study humans as if we are unknowable

>>82907667 (OP)
humanities academics in general have way lower average IQs compared to STEM and at least in my country the field is heavily infested with political bias and the professors would rather push their revolutionary agenda rather than produce scientifical research

>>82907714
your a sociologist what would you study then?

>>82907667 (OP)
Sociology is pseudoscience. It follows literally the same methodology as ufology. Interview people, speculate, and tell a narrative.

>>82907725
my humanities special interests are psychology economics political science and history

Sociology classes are for people too stupid for psychology, which is devastating because psych classes are full of idiot sorority girls

>>82907727
sociology is the study of societies, why would this not be a positivist science

>>82907743
why are humanities full of foids? why aren't you chuds in there

>sociology is the study of societies, why would this not be a positivist science

he thinks racism isn't real but if sociology said TND he would be on board.

I wish all the social sciences had a requirement of "to teach you how to run a proper study and evaluate published research, you need to pass three statistics courses before you can major in this"

>>82907667 (OP)
It's literally too complex. Even brothers can have significantly different reasons to go to different paths, imagine society wise
Also science needs feedback, it's practically impossible to see the feedback to your research so it ends in circular reasoning of people basing their research in another research. And people love to shove their political views on such subjective matter that has no way to see the feedback

>>82907764
humanities is flawed in the way they grade people. exams only demand you to memorize facts and you dont have to actually apply and solve problems with those facts. that makes so humanities gets flooded with people who couldn't learn math or science even though it is the same intelligence that you need to be good at these subjects

>>82907771
yeah the first thing i thought of was polchuds posting racial IQ studies lmfao

>>82907819
>Also science needs feedback,

you can do science via observation
>>82907834
you have no idea what your talking about

>>82907844
>you can do science via observation
Yes, and there's no observation reliable to society wide issues, unless you ignore hundreds of important variables and end up like those retarded physics tests that ask for you to calculate things without considering the air resistance

>>82907853
>Yes, and there's no observation reliable to society wide issues,

who said sociology means societal wide as if society is this one massive rock. Why can't you study bits and pieces of it like incels or trans women. Have you ever read any of science articles on you incels?

>>82907764
Psychology is especially attractive to women because it is natural to them. I actually believe they are good at it when they are smart. But a lot of the girls in these classes are dangerously dumb

>>82907844
>you have no idea what your talking about
anyone can get good grades in humanities which is not the case for math or science

>>82907872
>Psychology is especially attractive to women because it is natural to them
You think so?
Empirically learning psychology is not the same thing as 'being empathetic'

>>82907954
math is a product of society not something real or intrinsic to world

>>82907978
ok but in what way shape or form is that related to my point

>>82908063
>chuddie gets mad that i pointed out that math is down stream from human society

society is much more complex than your little math numbers chuddie. Your unable to reason in abstract forms which is why you sent a mad pepe since you couldn't get my point.

>>82908085
no dude im just confused on what the fuck are you talking about
my point was about how exams are graded in humanities classes i dont see how your non-sequiturs correlate to my point

>>82907862
Even those niche "communities" are still too large to observe reliably. Also people lie all the time, that's like trusting those self report statistics about cheating

>>82907978
What? Do you think society created gravity?
Math is a language to understand the universe. The language used is a product of society, but the thing that math describes exists beyond society
