But that's not the same as talking about the discipline. When one informally solicits information about why one might like or dislike X, that is not the same as talking about Jungian archetypes or Skinner boxes or the Milgram experiment or whatever.
well i'm not using it to mean a particular field of study
i'm using the term to mean "everything that works on that basis"
economics is a sub-field of psychology because it deals with notions of value and assumptions about desirability etc. that stem from the way we understand the world around us (such as conceptualizing things as "goods" or "services", or issues of mental accessibility of information when we try to judge the value of something), which is psychology
i think this reveals the answers to "at the end of the day, what am i really working with?" questions
in other words, at the most basic level, the fundamental assumptions and rules upon which something is based/derived
you can get really into it and be thinking about all sorts of market mechanisms and predictors and stuff
but then you take two steps back and realize that all it is is just people's guess/judgement/opinion of how much some conceptual piece of a company or a commodity is worth, at any given time, based on the information available to them
Glenn, you are being the literal dictionary definition of pretentious right now, bordering on the ultracrepidarian. I do not mean this as an ad hominem attack, but as a description of something that I am observing that is legitimately frustrating and annoying me.

And this is when I realize that I shouldn't be shitposting with meaningful posts because I risk starting arguments and making people feel uncomfortable and stuff like that when I just spout opinions without thinking about the consequences first...
Also when I instinctively start using capital letters and punctuation correctly.
but that makes people offended if you seem like you're just pandering to them
like "hey, i see you play xbox and nintendo so i guess you like videogames, so enjoy this gift of a plug-into-the-TV controller with some minigames on it"

i don't even know what you mean
if someone was offended by that it'd presumably be because you gave them a shitty gift

well you need to know what they're thinking or know how their apparent topic of interest works in order to avoid giving shitty gifts
or in some cases, be wary of exceptions, such as not giving people "guilty" gifts

It's more that you are making mountains out of molehills in a really baffling way. Like, in a different context, some of these positions would be interesting, but you're applying all this philosophical baggage to talking about why someone likes the colour blue or whatever in the middle of an informal conversation. Really, I don't think that you meant to talk over people's heads here, but seriously, you're over-analysing things and it makes you sound like you're posturing.

It's more like, I didn't actually think any of this through before posting it, and just started typing.

thinking too shallowly about what someone likes or doesn't like, with the result of them feeling like they're treated as simpletons, or something like that
Comments
getting to know people is fine and good, but calling that psychology seems... i dunno, sort of pretentious?
i don't like the idea that disciplines are all applied versions of whatever, like that one xkcd
like, i'm a lit student; that's studying something that people make, but it's not applied psychology
there's overlap of course but the methods and inquiries are different
ditto politics, ditto economics, ditto communications
I finished in 3:11
*cries*
you are a disgrace
you shame the meritocracy

again though you're talking about general principles here
that's quite a lot different from 'this is why i like/don't like x'
at their best and most useful the social sciences are rigorous, not at all informal
I guess you could put it in media studies but it just feels very vulnerable to subjectivity
Also when I instinctively start using capital letters and punctuation correctly.
interesting subject
like "hey, i see you play xbox and nintendo so i guess you like videogames, so enjoy this gift of a plug-into-the-TV controller with some minigames on it"
and i am not sure i am recalling correctly
see this what happen when i'm shitposting; i just post whatever comes to mind
if someone was offended by that it'd presumably be because you gave them a shitty gift

where are my cyanide pills i can't live with myself anymore
Shitposting is what I just finished doing here.
Observe my masterfully-crafted visual noise cut-up art-nonsense, so that you may learn from it.

i am sorry Glenn
you will have to wait until tomorrow to learn why you are wrong about absolutely everything ever and always will be, times infinity, the end
And the hell kind of chocolate chip is bitter? What are you using, dark chocolate?
