This seems like a pretty good summary of why a lot of philosophy is actually a shitshow (though I disagree with a few of the priors like 'things are made out of atoms,' like whoah quite a leap there bro)

On LessWrong, when we write about things being made of atoms, that's not a prior; it's a belief that's been updated by many rounds of evidence. We're showing off our posteriors.

Please do a thread on psychology. I believe the discipline is heavily corrupted by overmedicalizing emotional issues as much of the medical community tends to do with depression and similar issues.
