You don't deserve better because you didn't offer anything of value to respond to with better.
"Psychology worthless because brain is a computer" is a level of arrogance on the level of a physicist claiming that they are the master of all things biology by extension of their field and that biology is a worthless subject.
Similar actual usefulness in application too. I wouldn't ask a physicist how to preserve coral in the Great Barrier Reef, and I certainly wouldn't ask you to perform therapy sessions for PTSD victims. It'd be just as disasterous, probably moreso in your case considering the sheer arrogance you're presenting because you touch computers and think very highly of yourself and believe that your computer touching has godlike universal application.
Actually, it's worse than that, because at least the physicist has a straight line that can be drawn, however distant, to biology through chemistry. You don't even have that.
See this? This right here? This is you attacking the choice of metaphor rather than the content.
See this? This right here?
Such metaphor!
Until you touch a computer enough to come up with a superior replacement to EMDR or CBT therapy procedures that actually helps people in need of such help, you're just huffing your own farts while trying to invalidate centuries of academia.
Cock and Ball Torture therapy?
I think even psychologists cackle about that one now, but it's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it's actually quite effective with treating certain personality disorders if the program is adhered to. Compared to "that's all bunk, brain scans/computer comparisons are all you need bro, trust me bro" dismissive claims backed by nothing, one has actually helped millions of people.
It was a genuine question. I am not a native speaker so I know a different set of specialized terms for this type of thing.
It's all good.
Whether or not it may be useful to you, looking up Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may be interesting to you all the same.
The metaphor was the only content you fucking moron, and it wasn't even a good one. And that's not even to mention whatever you were saying about the brain being like soil or whatever lmfao. Just admit the few sentence throwaway comment you made was stupid and move on, Jesus Christ.
