"Everybody knows what personality is?" Incredible! First, just because everybody has an X does not logically imply everyone knows what an X is (e.g., life, consciousness...). Second, psychology has NO idea what mental states and dispositions consist in. The best they can do is point at behaviors they assume are related to those invisible mental ephemera. The scientific study of personality (or psychology) is a conceptual oxymoron. What are the units of analysis that have any conceptual or mathematical heft? What are the units of shyness, thought,etc.? (And please, no likert scale misrepresentations of mathematical formalities). Short answer -- there are none. The scientific study of behavior is potentially possible. It is not a current reality. And behavior is not the same as its underlying causes (an effect is not the cause of itself). It would be a wonderful if psychologists actually understood what the term science denotes. It would be even more striking if psychology understood what their stipulated, under specified concepts and theories referenced. Don't bet the house this will happen in your lifetime. Yes there can be psychological knowledge. It is definitively not (by the definition of science) scientific knowledge. Simply Delusional (as per psychology's current diagnostic manual definition).

*_01:45_**_ if we can change a person's situation we can optimize their lives right we can actually change human life forever by making changes to people's situations worse personality psychologists were like but wait there are things about a person that they carry with them wherever they go that you can't manipulate in an experiment_* With all due respect, I'm just not satisfied with what she has to say about these two fields and to think of them solely from a rational scientific means gets us nowhere by the simply fact that humans are so fucking irrational. You don't need to be a psychologist to know that. We have so many problems facing us right now. Whether it's Covid deniers, climate change deniers, political corruption, televangelist who reap millions from their congregation, crimes of passion, and all manner of violence that we perpetrate towards each other. All because we are highly irrational and its making us stupid. Those who are highly educated are no exception. We go about with all this research ad nausaum which becomes an end in itself and all the while those in power are corrupting reality with all kinds of lies and conspiracy theories. The news media are no exception. The masses of people have no idea they are being duped hence they become dumb and stupid and then we wonder why the emotional and psychological evolution of humanity crawls at a snail's pace. as Dr Robert Firestone said *_Our society actually exists as a kind of negative afterimage. We all live in a crazy, backward world, often unaware of the lies and double messages we are given. If we could be free for a moment to catch a glimpse of our true situation, if we could view our society as a visitor from another planet, we would be stunned at the nightmare in which we live. The things we are expected to believe about ourselves and about society are frequently the very opposite of the way things really are. Unhappily, the individual and all the members of our society are often unconsciously working together to maintain a largely defensive and dishonest way of living_* With few exceptions, those in our mental health field do not see the urgency that we face as the masses lose their regard for truth and willingness to accept it no matter how they may feel of the outcome. Our political leaders are a disgrace to humanity as they go about with their constant lying and bickering; it's like a bad marriage and there is no one to tell them to shut the fuck up and stop their madness because it's making everyone else mad! With few exceptions, sociologists and psychologist live in their own bubble. Hence they cannot see that our human propensity to be irrational is far greater than they realize and very dangerous. They only scholar and researcher that I know who was not afraid to call out the danger in our political system is Dr. Bandy Lee. It's a disgrace that our mental health providers have said nothing about the many ways our sick society has adverse effects on our emotional well being.
