Dylan Evans, a multi-profession, "versatilist" man, visited the MPC headquarters. He's written a good amount of books, and he is really cool. He talked to us about his constant journeys around the world, and how psychology "isn't a science yet."
I remember I asked why, and he said "we haven't acquired enough data yet." I don't agree with this argument.
Actually, I think he even has the idea of how something becomes a science wrong. Science isn't dogma, it is a series of results that are result of observation and experimentation; and the study of the mind is something that is really complex to actually just put into words by saying that if this happens, then this is the way a human will act. Decisions are really complex, and I have to dig more into know about the psychology behind it.
Dylan is a musician and he recommended us the book "thinking fast, slow." He talked us about behavioral psychology and how by memory people tend to accept or reject risks.
He also talked about the virtue of laziness, and I had fun with that. I kind of agree.
