Some thoughts about psychology.

Cracked.com recently had an article about "Psychological experiments that prove humanity is doomed." It's one of those cases where the humor comes mainly from the sensation of truth attempting to flank the rational mind. In this case, uncomfortable truth.
Psychology doesn't always get a lot of respect, which is a shame, because we tend to discover interesting things about whatever we study with the scientific method. Human personality and behavior is no different. Science can shatter the myths we hold about ourselves and our own mental independence just as well as it can demolish literal interpretations of mythology.
I have even heard people go so far as to say that psychology isn't a science. This attitude is usually based on a definition of science that focuses on the subject matter instead of the method. There is no reason for such a distinction when it is easier to say that science is when people study something scientifically.
