Ideology is reliably replicable

Posted on 07/11/2025 by Jon Garvey

I had an interesting short conversation with a couple of musician friends recently. A bright young chap doing psychology A-level was talking very sensibly about non-replicability in psychology studies. He mentioned Freudian psychoanalysis as untestable because if you disagree with its findings in your own case, it must be because you have repressed them, not because they are wrong. Astute of him, or his teacher.

My books on the cheap!

Posted on 05/11/2025 by Jon Garvey

My publisher, Wipf and Stock, is offering all their books, including my God’s Good Earth and The Generations of Heaven and Earth, at half price until the end of this month. This Link should take you to my page, and if you enter the code CONFSHIP at checkout you’ll get your 50% discount on all formats, in any quantity. Not only that, but if you enter “economy” (or maybe “Media Mail” in some areas) shipping is free. Now is your chance to give all your friends and relatives a Christmas present that will raise their eyebrows!

The report in the parish mag made no mention of Hamas, October 7, tortured hostages, purloined aid, or, as far as I can tell, history. It was all about the “occupied land” narrative of the MSM and UN.
