Biscuits do you know any academic psychologists? Have you talked to them about their field? Have you eavesdropped on their conversations in parties? Have you even listened to a podcast episodes where sharp disillusioned grad students bitch about their discipline?

I'm not trying to be rude but you talk constantly about pop psych while having no apparent reference points for the MANY epistemological conceptual statistical philosophical and procedural crises that have defined psychology as an actual discipline since its inception
I don't think you know anything because you had never heard of NLP; you're just BS-ing

Have you read Tal Yarkoni on the Generalizability Crisis? Have you heard Pizarro's critiques of his own landmark ego depletion studies? Have you followed Gelman's statistical takedowns of behavioral economics?

Did you follow the Dan Ariely scandal? Have you followed Joe Simmons on the scale of fraud in social sciences?

Youre clueless, like someone talking about politics and then when I ask him if hes familiar with a single political discourse he cant name the players or parties
You had not heard of something very basic so I don't think this line of critique carries much weight

Your knowledge of psych is a typical Less Wrong take: knowledge-about rather than actually knowing anything, meta-knowledge feeding into the LW epistemology-fret churn

I am sympathetic to your points generally but ADHD is fake and gay and you should move on with your life

The problem is that you are falling into the victim mentality, which is analogous to slave morality but more pernicious. You are letting people label you and accepting your inheritance like a peasant being put in his place.
For some reason, ever since this post, my stomach has been tied up in knots and my face and body on fire with shame.
I have no contact with the outside world but it seems like more and more I can't handle the online world either.
Then I also think it's kind of pathetic that someone my age still feels so full of shame all the time which makes me feel more ashamed of myself.

Note that he said that he's 'sympathetic to your points generally' before the unsubstantiated/weird stuff turned up afterwards.

Well I'm sorry but no one thinks poorly of you here, there's really absolutely no need to feel shame, and I think this is a good growth moment to tell me to go fuck myself
