10. That's a harsh assessment

Of psychologists....but I agree that ANY profession can be manipulated by those in charge. Doctors are not "STEM washouts" but look at Trump's so-called doctors claiming that he is a perfect human specimen. So take everything corrupt people say with a grain of salt, but all of us laymen have observed that sucking up to Dear Leader is the way to get something from him (keeping a job in his corrupt administration, trade deals, etc.). Give him a made-up prize, worship his golden statues, etc.

So even the Iranian version of psychology knows his needs and tendencies and is working to exploit them for their own gain. Doesn't mean they are wrong, but they are in service of evil. But so is most of the administration. So that's why it's so disturbing to witness these evil v. evil negotiations and associations (same with Trump and Russia, Trump and Bibi, Trump and all Middle East Oil kings, etc. etc. etc.).

Not related, but, to me, oil is the bottom line. Minimize our need for it and the evil people that bathe in its power are reduced to annoying mosquitos. So, of course, that's why Trump is trying to MAXIMIZE the need for it. Because it's the currency of the evil people he looks up to.
