Yea social sciences are largely based on feelings, guess work and politics. The same could be said about anthropology these days.

A good point, i think TA takes that too serious. Imo it is more for fun than anything else, i mean some are good classifier here but the best way to explain your origins are genetics and (i know it sound corny) your feelings.

Darwin evolution because math confirms that chance is not enough to explain evolution..

The biological theory of mental illness that mental illness is caused by faulty genes when there is no scientific evidence for this. I'm not a 'mental illness' denier rather I prefer to call such states of affairs "problems in living" and I think psychiatry is fundamentally a political project rather than a scientific one and that it has become an ideological tool of state capitalism.

The mainstream view of psychologists that intelligence is mostly set in stone at birth. Problem solving is a trainable skill just like any other. Sure, some people have a natural talent for that, but almost anyone can become pretty good. Most of the scientists weren't some child prodigies, but they ace IQ tests anyway. All due to the fact that they do logical reasoning for a living. Psychologists are good at analyzing the empirical data, but their poor theoretical background needs a revoke.
