Aren't they fascinating? They've always appealed to me as I have a degree in Psychology - and before someone pipes up - and Metaphysical Victorian Love Poetry. An enlightened man would say they're the same thing.
Will you find another forum to be together? Or just drift?
Love to you all.

As I understand it, the whole social psychology field has been shook recently by the theory of social connectionism (connectivism?), which as I understand it - and I don't have a degree in psychology (although I do develop web based eLearning resources for degree-level Psychology) - is like chaos theory (from physics) applied to social psychology.
Which would explain a lot.

And do psychologists gloss over it in the same way that physicists do?
