Astrology is significantly more authoritative. If nothing else it can twig your subconscious to lead you better.

Modus tollens hype.

Liberal and Paleo- Creationism could have a real Hitler-Stalin Pact-type thing going if the situation gets desperate enough for them.

So we must not be descended from the apes! Phew! It was touch and go for awhile, but at last modern science has launched a thorough vindication of creationism.

Organizations such as the Center for Open Science and websites such as PsychFileDrawer.org document many of these failed attempts.

It has become so bad that the entire discipline is in question. You even have social psychologists are Harvard now, such as James Mitchell, claiming that attempts at replication are worthless and “mean-spirited.”

So, as always, be skeptical about most pop psychology, especially social psychology.
