Man, this was hilarious. Sadly this is the attitude I see online from SJWs. If I had a therapist like that, I would fire her before the session even ended and not pay her. She was also gaslighting in it. I know it was all acting. I watched another video by them and it had the same actors in it again except the therapist was playing the teacher and the patient was the immigrant student trying to learn American English and the teacher was trying to teach pronouns to all her students and they were all getting confused.

Well, it could be worse, I thought she was going to tell him to actually kill himself.

She pulled off that insufferable self-righteous superiority so well.

It's your definition. You wrote, literally: ""Hard" science involves experiments which are relatively easy to set up". Experiments in quantum physics are very, very far from "easy to setup". That's it.

I see that you know many scientific words, that's for sure. I doubt that you really understand those words.
All of those devices and experiments are quantum-based -- these examples are also easier to set up and consistently replicate than the average sociologic experiment.

I performed the double-slit experiment and several photo-electric experiments in my third year of high school. I built my first vacuum-tube transmitter at the age of ten, and my first bipolar-transistor amplifier at the age of eight. I worked with fixed-wavelength and tunable lasers at university, where I also wrote research papers on negative dynamic resistance, Schottky diodes, and various noise sources in cryogenically-cooled amplifiers. All of this contributed to me earning a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

What is your "claim to fame"?

Well, great. So you're ready to admit that all those subjects can be successfully studied through the lens of "hard" science?

And did you build all the required equipment on your own? You don't have to asnwer, that was a rhetoric question. You just took several factory produced parts, each worth hundreds man-years if you had to produce it from scratch, and combined them together.
On the other hand, you only need a group of random people to conduct an experiment in psychology.

My claim to fame: I know quite a few things about rational thinking and logic, and you have no idea about those ;)

You shouldn't project your masturbatory activities onto others like that, it's unsightly. I don't have anything to jerk in a circle or otherwise, so I'll have to say no to your gross inappropriate question.

But I don't. I just see what you two are doing here.
By the way, let me help you learn some new things. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/circle-jerk

That's how it's usually done, yes. Try it sometime.

A group of random people that took billions of years of evolution to produce. The sad thing about small, random samples is that your margin of error is practically indistinguishable from random noise.

I know what it means, I just think it's a gross and inappropriate thing to say to someone. I guess you were embarrassed for abandoning an argument you lost and were striking out at me for noticing, but that doesn't make what you said appropriate or not disgusting. You shouldn't lash out emotionally when you lose an argument, it's bad form. I struggle with this sometimes myself so I understand but I still don't condone what you said to me.

Nope.

Fnord already explained to you that science runs the spectrum of "soft" to "hard" and that most social/cultural issues fall strictly on the "soft" end. If that explanation didn't take, I highly doubt a second explanation will ether.

Furthermore, as a person who has suffered gender issues all their life, I look forward to the day "hard science" can "prove" what hairstyles, clothing, mannerisms, and interests are "objectively" "male" and "female" so that I can finally embrace an identity. /sarcasm
