You must have a clear and defined self/ego before you can move beyond it. Once you have, you still operate with your ego. Transcending it doesn't mean destroying it. You don't want to destroy your ego. https://qz.com/1307380/yoga-and-meditation-boost-your-ego-say-psychology-researchers/ …

If you want a real idea of how spurious most psychology research is, look no further than literally anything you know... I'd be amazed, but I distinctly remember PhD teachers in uni with worse research premises than this. Really hard to take the field seriously sometimes.
My friend who recently completed a psychology PhD, basically considers the entire field an omnishambles.
He left psych to work as a data analyst, and considers that marginally better - although significantly limited (as per @Meaningness meta-rationality)

Yeah. I lost interest in the first year of studies. Found it enchanting as a teenager curious about psychometrics, but the majority of the field (including majority of psychometrics) is hot garbage.

I take some small solace that it's early days for the science. Medicine spent centuries without a working model for many parts of the disease process. On the roadmap, we are not far removed from humours - or in fact, I'd say a lot of the work in neuropsychology is exactly there.

jesus christ... the conflation of ego and self in the article is staggering. and the data metrics are so nebulous. “omnishambles,” is dead accurate - Jung knew that the standard scientific method was woefully inadequate for study of the human mind, but everyone trudged on anyway.
