What do you consider Pseudo-Science?

Featured Replies

I was just wondering what you guys consider pseudo-science. Social sciences such as Sociology and Economics, or just the more off the wall stuff like Astrology, UFO Cults, etc

Sociology and economics are sciences, just different sciences. Pseudo science is like theology, and other stuff.

I am studying Economics in college now. I often hear and read of it referred to as a "pseudo" or "junk" science.

The name "Pseudoscience" refers to the method of study, not the subject.

That's because it is.

 

Point me to the repeatable experiments in Economics please.

Theology isn't pseudoscience, is philosophy.
