The only reason you think you have space to say that is because doing direct psychological experimentation on humans is extremely unethical

The only reason I "have space to say so" is because it's not a science. Allowing whatever you mean by "direct psychological experimentation" wouldn't change that.

I'm not saying it's a field of study that isn't useful, but it's not science.

That sound was a behavior analyst stabbing UndercoverUlrikHD in the spleen. I'm guessing you know absolutely nothing about the different fields within psychology, or even much beyond what you're exposed to in popular culture. Yet here you are, trying to redefine the scientific method to suit your feelings

I typed this whole comment about how and why sociology is a science, and realized they probably don't give a shit.
