So?[edit]

In the second line of this article it is stated that "Rossiter is a psychiatrist". - In the last line, you hazard the guess that "the book does not contain any actual psychological science". The two statements are already somewhat contradicting each other. - Sure. A psychiatrist may also write a book or actually many books that do not contain any psychological science. For instance a cooking book - or a book that advocates bolshevik thinking, for that matter. But why than not having a look into the book, instead of hararding a guess?. I have looked into the preview of the book on Amazon - and saw already there, that the whole book is nothing else but psychological science. - So? Where is your Rational<Wiki>? One could "hazard the guess" that you wish to confirm the rationale of the title of Rossiter's book. — Unsigned, by: 87.123.193.209 / talk / contribs

there is no contradiction. it refers to his book, "the Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness", which sure sounds like a book containing psychological information, as containing no psychological information. --2600:4040:475E:F600:4567:8A56:D65D:9B4C (talk) 03:32, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
