That is easily the gayest thing I've ever heard. for the record you don't, you just whine about it a lot.

Neuropsychology and cognitive psychology as it pertains to neuroscience, up until recently, had been a large amount of guesswork and relied heavily on reported effects from patients & drug users as well as old medical literature. Functional MRIs were a lot of help, but it was still largely a puzzle (and still largely is) prior to breakthroughs in the past several years.

I was largely obsessed with studying pharmacology as a teenager, and then piecing together how various drugs affected my cognition.
I got fairly good at this, and being prescribed stimulants for ADHD at 17, I was able to experience what they refer to in psychology as 'metacognition' - basically, being able to cognitively perceive the processes occurring structurally and neurocognitively in the brain as they are happening.
I would say I am fairly adept at understanding psychology arising from activity at the synaptic scale.
One mistake I then made was, instead of pursuing further understanding of modern neuroscience, I decided to re-examine psychology from its modern roots: namely Nietzsche and Jung (I actually only read a small amount of Freud's work, as it seemed too ego-maniacal and assuming).

Instead of helping re-enforce my understanding of modern neuropsychology, it merely sucked me in to the same labyrinth that other psychologists from the early 20th century had been sucked in to -- and without conclusions supported by modern equipment, I found myself trying to piece together the mechanics of the human psyche entirely from the bottom up. This is largely impossible to do. What will end up happening is, it will lead to conclusions but ones which are only communicable largely through artistic prose, and is almost indistinguishable from philosophy.

When a person with metacognition whole-heartedly commits to journeying in to the 'unconscious mind' in an attempt to map it, they usually find it to turn into a labyrinth of thoughts that won't piece together; it can result in a fairly moderate neuroses (as it has for me on occasions).

But I have made it out, time and time again, and have found that the contents of the unconscious mind can vary completely depending on the outlook one has while approaching it. Although I did not gain the bottom-up foundation for psychology integrated with neurology, I did verify and enhance my understanding of sociology, and quite a bit so.

Sociology is not a pragmatic science, nor does an epistemology exist for it that is able to represent it accurately. Sociology is highly stochastic - as well as highly impartial. It is never entirely consistent in its structure, because it changes.
A persons behavior in a group and thoughts on behavior in a group can fluctuate depending on what is expected of them on a subconscious level; by this mechanism, false sociology can become true sociology merely from people believing it to be true sociology - even though there is no such thing as 'true sociology'.
Human behavior is only deterministic in one aspect: we all generally share a will to live which includes the drive for food, water, shelter, sex, etc..
Sociological determinism beyond that doesn't exist, and what appears to be determinism is often times human consideration for other humans; which, when it comes to advertising, can result in people trying something simply because someone recommended them to try it -- and this is why advertising will always work to an extent. The power of suggestion will always work with a percentage of success; because this is percentage-based, advertising will always result in an exponential promotion of a product or service; this is why advertising has a permanent presence in our modern culture. But this does not guarantee it to be cost-effective, which is what many international and large national corporations have realized over the years. Brands like coca cola, for example, attempt to remain cryptic with their public image, to suggest a seat for it in the subconscious mind as being somehow permanently established in society and irreplaceable. I'm a fan of Coca-Cola actually, not to say anything good or bad about them, but merely using their approach to advertising as an example of modern sociology which has practical application.

Although prevalence of sociological tendencies can not be predicted with certainty (and in some cases, can hardly be predicted at all), the existence of the tendencies themselves can be calculated, in that we can derive the variables involved from the Will to Live -- although we can not give a value for these variables without application.

From the variables however, using nothing but extended algebra and very basic calculus, we can give approximate values for the variables in a group of people based on non-specific data like age and sex of the group members. Essentially, by considering the ratios of the variables as they relate to each other algebraically, we can deduce the presence of more variables, thereby including/discluding them, and then by fitting the ratios together as percentages in the group, we can approximate a range for each of those percentages, and thereby conclude with almost complete certainty whether certain factors are present in any particular member of the group. What are these variables? Any and all dispositions of members in a group pertaining to the will to live. This might include the desire for sex, and the manner in which that desire manifests - as there are finite sub-types of particular drive or perspective, we can use extended algebra to determine which sub-type is occurring in whom, and with a high degree of certainty know the trigger for that subtype.

Basically what I'm saying is that using basic math and algebra, you don't even need to be able to read minds to predict the behavior of specific individuals in a group with a high level of accuracy -- with the stochastic nature of sociology not only not preventing such a feat, but ensuring its occurrence.

Historically such phenomenon would occur on their own in art and entertainment due to the subconscious release of the artist, but are now generally viewed as producing more positive results when formulated independently
