Tech writing is basically getting into the reader's head, figuring out where he's confused, and fixing the problem in a way he can understand. If that's not applied psychology, I don't know what is.<BR/><BR/>And if that's not the most useful thing in the world, I don't know what that is either.Jeremy Mastenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502605705151894028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24875972.post-27252729410722384522007-05-14T23:48:00.000-04:002007-05-14T23:48:00.000-04:00Freaking A, I hate that "pseudo-science" crap peop...Freaking A, I hate that "pseudo-science" crap people push at me. I once had a large fight with my friends about it (me against everyone) and I still have not recovered. It was a war of attrition and I lost. The worst bit was probably when Jon's older sister (who all of our friends look up to, God knows why) joined in with their side. Just for a moment or two, but the damage was done.<BR/><BR/>ANYWAY, my psych degree has helped me immensely in the last week or so. I analyze them in my head, judge them, then can talk normally with them. It makes it much easier on me when I can pinpoint their issues, even if it's as simple as "wow, he's a total moron." But I don't think I'll really ever understand them. Why did that guy rob the bank? Somehow, needing to pay for his half of the furniture he and girlfriend bought just doesn't cut it for me.Yeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924486844215332905noreply@blogger.com
