I moved from philosophy to psychology in 2018. In philosophy these kinds of arguments & debates are what you're trained for & do. It was a culture shock when I arrived in a psych dept. Critique, debate & argument were depicted as rude & undermining.

"'How are you?' These are the three most useless words in the world of communication."
This compelling (but wrong/daft) assertion is based on #communication myth rather than how we actually talk 🧐
