>>13404654>Psychiatry is more of a medical discipline. They don't research anything. That's psychology.That's actually not true. Psychiatrists do perform research, often on creating new psychiatric treatment methods, and often in conjunction with neuroscientists and pharmacists.
>Math does need any fundingNot true. I'm a math MS student. All my professors have to file for grants on a regular basis. Do you even know how academia works? Literally everyone needs funding.
>And although I do like anthropology, I wouldn't consider it scientific either (at least not how /sci/ means it) ouside the forensics aspects of it. It should get more funding though as sociology should be rolled into it.I'm not talking about traditional humanities anthropology or philosophical anthropology. That's still interesting, but I'm talking about a lot genetic anthropology, mathematical models of cooperation, and computer modeling of things like migration and dispersal.
>Engineering isn't a scienceThis is strictly speaking, true, but also very autistic. When normies talk about funding science, they would generally be including engineering under that category, and actually, a lot of normies probably don't even really understand the distinction between engineering and science.
>And philosophy obviously isn't any scientific discipline whatsoever.Analytic philosophy is arguably more scientific than sociology, especially stuff like modal logic, and there is actually a lot of probability and "bayesian" modeling in contemporary philosophy of science and decision theory. However, I do agree that philosophy really isn't a science. The reason I still brought it up, is that I think that scientists stand to benefit from any future developments in philosophy, given that each new era of philosophical development has typically produced a new spurt of scientific development.
