# I think the goal is to not be on either extreme.
You know, like extreme optimism or extreme pessimism. I don't want an optimist piloting a plane I'm on, I want someone who is a little bit pessimistic and will check every switch before he takes off. I don't want an extreme pessimist though, because that kind of person would probably just call themselves stupid until the plane crashed.

# The thing I love about psychology is that everyone already knows exactly how their brain works, they just don't try to put it into words and communicate it to other people.
The process of putting it all into words is not an easy one.

# I have to disagree.
There is a huge amount of brain that is still mysterious to all.

People understand their own thought processes. They don't know why or how they have them, how they perceive, how they integrate important information etc.

However, I agree, explaining it properly with words is a bit of a cunt.

# I honestly think that people do know how and why they have the thoughts they do, but most people don't stop to analyse it.
People act on emotion and then justify with the brain. Most of the time the justification won't be honest, because people like to feel good about themselves.

People that can get past that dishonest moment are very talented.

# I meant things such as the biological bases of thoughts and why people have them
neurons, neurochemicals etc.

Not the fuzzy pish that comes out of popular psychology telling people the reasons for their thoughts. If people thought about it, they would know the reasons.

It's the underlying mechanisms, chemistry and biology that forms a large part of psychology (or cognitive neuroscience) which is not as widely discussed as unqualified wankers can't go on big brother and talk about it.

# Are you kidding? unqualified wankers love telling people that they're in a bad mood because they need more potassium.
There's fuzzy pish in all walks of science, but there's usually a fair bit of truth.

And to be completely honest, the kind of applications applied neurochemistry can provide aren't what I want in my modern society.

My mother is somehow still alive, but committed to an institution at the moment. I don't think we should spend an eternity trying to analyse her. Decades of "here's a new medication, we just heard the last one was unsafe" mean that her brain doesn't produce endorphins any more.

We shouldn't apply such extremes to the everyman.

Thesis handed in (prof has whispered that I have a magna cum laude (pfft)) and my viva is at the end of november.

However, I'm not interested in psychology as it is often inappropriately generalised. I'm studying face and voice perception and how the two perceptual channels integrate to improve person perception.
