All of them are science except for sociology

and before someone says:
>Muh autistic hard science meme

Take a close look at sociology curriculums in this decade. It is all about muh race studies. Muh gender studies. Muh opression. Muh white privilege. Muh male privilege. Muh cis privilege.

That is not science. That is confirmation bias of a selected group turned into an academic curriculum.

How are anthropology and archaeology sciences?
>>
>>7695995
it is a science ,no matter the curriculum . the fact that what most people who study 'sociology' are not studying the actual science does not mean its not a science .it is one by definition .

just like if unis suddenly decided to teach shitposting courses to physics student that wouldn't make physics not a science , it would just make those unis shit .

If my math curriculum decided to fuck rigorous mathematics and turn it into some sort of "mathematical philosophy" course with no real science then I would not call that mathematics.

Sociology is confirmation bias + a statistics class about how to make data look good for your cause.

Theoretical Sciences (Quantum) [1/2 Science]
Geology [Science]
Psychology [<50% Argue, No Laws, Bias, Not A Science]
Sociology [1/2 Science. Laws But Bias]
Statistics [1/2 Science. Misused]
Archaeology [1/2 Science. Dating Laws, Interpretation Is Not Law]
Psychiatry [1/2 Science, Theories, No Laws, Neuropsychiatry Studies Sedation and Excitation, Doesn't Prove Behaviors Are Objectively Irrational/Diseases]
Anthropology [1/2 Associative Science. Relational Laws.]
Forensic Science [1/2 Science. No Laws, But relational dictations that are flawed.]

Science requires the use of the Scientific Method.
Most of those do not use the Scientific Method, they start with a premise and use the Bias.
Studies of Social Sciences shows insanely high amount of "Projection=Conclusion" confirmation biases.
Here are the issues with Social Sciences:
1.) No repeatable experiments
2.) No laws
3.) No use of deduction, only selective inductive
4.) Uses of known fallacies and biases
5.) Constant findings of fabricated studies
6.) Field reports have zero scientific oversight

>3.) No use of deduction, only selective inductive

Please elaborate.

Meaning they're known to Cherry Pick in their experiments.
Often psychologists reserve the right to "reject" information they receive, often cycling in "projection, cherry pick, reject, conclude" workarounds.
Pic related.

Take telling a patient they're exhibiting feelings they're unaware of.
How do they do this? Inductive.
If the person tells them they're mistaken, they reject it, tell the patient they're unaware, and refuse to engage in a deductive process.
It's not just common, it's actually a practice taught in the curriculum, to reject negative feedback.
All psychology and psychiatry textbooks discuss the "unawareness" and "unintentionally subjective inaccuracy" of patients testimony.
It's just bulverism.
But most Social Science curriculums don't allow for Epistemology and bulverism to be analyzed.

Is medicine a science?
[1/2 Science. Objective medical laws in regards to interactions and physiological placement]

Is public health a science?
[1/4 Science, relies on heavily biased and flawed outdated medical science and outdated sociology/psychology]

Is 4chump a science?
No, it's just a clusterfuck of arrogance and bias

Theoretical Sciences (Quantum) [y]
Geology [y]
Psychology [no because of the non-repeatability of experiments]
Sociology [n]
Statistics [if math is a science then yes, otherwise no]
Archaeology [no]
Psychiatry [the research behind psychiatry is science, the application itself isn't]
Anthropology [noooooo]
Forensic Science [some research behind it is science, application may not be. For example, DNA analysis]
>>
>>7696073
I like what psychology and sociology attempt to do but this is 100% correct

There are far too many dumb fucks doing research in those subjects

Unfortunately other fields seem to snap up the really bright researches

But just the quality 1% that comes through makes the fields worth it, due to how they can illuminate the principles behind human behavior

Everything except psychology and psychiatry. Some parts of sociology are bullshit too, but overall it's good.

Why did you even think quantum mechanics is not a science?

Why the hell is this even included? Is "geology isn't a science" some common meme that I'm just unaware of?

Statistics isn't science; it's pure math. Statistics is USED by tons of sciences and it's pretty irrelevant without science, but Statistics itself is pure math.
