1) Are economics and anthropology the hardest or "most legitimate" of the social or soft sciences.
2) What makes a social science "harder"?
3) Why do sociology and psychology degrees attract so many brainlets?

it is not about how hard they are, its about how useful they are, modern economics its game ruled by jews an modern civilizations can grow up without anthropology.

I really dont get why psychology gets all the burn. Its a really important and useful topic, regardless of how hard or easy it is, and in fact many ordinary people benefit widely from having a psychiatrist ...

Okay psych maybe isn't bad but it's certainly soft.
>>8122211
I can agree with that...
>>8122195
>regardless of how hard or easy it is,
easy isn't the opposite of hard
>>8122111
They are not sciences.
>>8122241
Difficult or simple*
Happy?

It's really no different from religion.
unfalsifiable, faith-based
passively accepted by the masses, fervently supported by a handful of ultra-faithful
opiate for the masses
every brand is different, yet all insist they're the "one true faith"

What you are saying would also dismiss neuroscience, which is heavily based on "real" science (chemistry, biology...)
OP here. What is the hardest social/soft science. To get the thread rerailed.
