Nah, it also happens in psychology and theoretical physics.
Someone can propose the Bicameral Mind hypothesis[1] or the Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics[2] and not be laughed out of the room.
the idea that consciousness is actually cultural and humans were literally incapable of introspection before 3000 AD ↩︎
idea that every quantum wave collapse actually generates an entire (or partial) new parallel Universe ↩︎
Psychologists are the one profession where you need shit nothing other than morals and ethics forged by bourgeois ideas. Not to say they don’t offer anything or that all is bullshit, but most of it is made to rehabilitate workers to continue doing their labor for society, and most psychologists will follow an idealistic world view and even push religious insanity to their patients. Psychiatrists on the other hand are actually trying to follow a scientific world view approach for sadly the same end goal, but they are much less tolerant towards idealistic world views and religious fanaticism. That ofc is my experience with these practitioners and Doctors plus my research on the topic
