Rereading Lykken:
Lykken, D. T. (1991). What’s Wrong with Psychology Anyway? In D. Cicchetti & W. Grove (Eds.), Thinking clearly about psychology (Vol. 1, pp. 3–39).
What a remarkable paper. A few things that stood out to me.

Lykken explains this in part because psychology is difficult. He addresses several interesting issues in this chapter, including the nomothetic-idiographic inference gap.pic.twitter.com/t7xqveAtbd

He also talks about paradigms. In archeology, once a large burial place is identified, this gives lots of people actual work to make important discoveries. In molecular biology, people are working to identify important aspects of specific cells or mechanisms.

Lykken claims that in psychology, such over-arching paradigms are largely absent. We have few "paradigm-makers".

He concludes with a list of big problems in psychological science. These include jargon and over-reliance on NHST (he was a student of Meehl).

Overall, I find the paper lucid & to the point. Contains many insightful quotes & refs, and talks about many issues that have been picked up in the contemporary literature (idiographic vs nomothetic, replication crisis, metapsychology). Doesn't read like 1991 paper at all. /end

I think psychologists from the 1920's might help those in 2020 more.
