Not dissing the article itself, but this is the second article on psychology in the last hour. Is psychology within the interestes of HN now?

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

Although I prefer meatier sources than blog posts, and usually try to submit journalistic news articles or scientific research papers, I find that blog posts get the most readers here on HN.

and techcrunch gets the most points
i actually like psychology articles, and i have seen quite a few pop up in the front page. so thought this would be relevant.
Psychology is one thing. but psychologytoday.com is craptacular pop-psychology.
well, all the popular books these day (predictably irrational, spend, etc) all fall under that category of easy to read, not very deep, no?
Yes, and that's why they shouldn't be here.
