Science itself is about the search for finding knowledge and not about sifting through cool shit. I also consider it okay that our society has academic psychologists who attempt to build reliable knowledge.

I think it's worthwhile to have different communities of people persuing different strategies of knowledge generation.

I don't disagree with any of the statements you made, and none of them are required to be false for my point to be valid.

I'm kinda getting the impression that you aren't being very careful or charitable in your reading of my comments. Is that impression wrong?

I don't think the point of a post is to show how another person is wrong or to only say things where who I'm talking about is likely to disagree.
