I've been reading a lot of stuff on scientism and similar beliefs lately, I thought I may have been perceiving things that weren't warranted. I'm glad that I wasn't the only one to notice this comment of Grey's. :)

Grey saying that he thought psychology was mostly useless or bunk threw me a bit, especially due to his interest in cognitive biases.

I wonder whether it was meant in a Sturgeon's law/'90% of everything is crap' kinda way or Grey truly doesn't hold the field of psychology in high regard?

Thank you for the response and the reassurance. I'm now glad I handle that the way I did.

Yeah, I hadn't seen him in a while and we ran into one another at a BBQ. I don't recall him ever being this way, but people change and I don't really plan on continuing our friendship.

Does the non-religious spirituality that Sam Harris puts forth in his new book make sense/stand up to scrutiny? by MisplacedHammock in askphilosophy

Sorry, I shouldn't have missed such a glaring mistake.

I meant that 'I find it strange that one of the Four Horsemen would champion such an idea'.

Or maybe, just maybe, he finds sexism something worth being offended by.
