Is knowing psychology dangerous for other people?

[ChefPapiChulo]

the amount of knowledge you get from human behavior from psychology, seems a dangerous, like in terms that it can be used to manipulate.

My ex friend has degrees in psychology and often used her knowledge to manipulate people - however, she also has issues herself so in a way while she manipulated people , her knowledge only helps her do that but didn’t help her internalize things she needs to work on with her own life.

that's almost exactly what i mean. by the way there's a saying, a lot of psychologist are crazy because they entered the field to understand themselves lol.

@ChefPapiChulo the saddest part about it is usually they do anything but work on themselves. Two degrees later she still allowed herself to get pregnant by an abusive boyfriend

i didn't mean theyre crazy because they're psychologist, but theyre psychologist because theyre crazy. worded that wrong there.

oh I don't know your friend. i mean in general, knowing psychology, is like your brain wielding a metaphorical weapon. l

I think that it's good for people to learn about it so they can especially know how to identify when people are trying to use it for evil.

[ChefPapiChulo]

it's when it gets in the hands of an evil person that it can be dangerous tho, who use psychology on people who don't understand their own thoughts.

[Sonorous]

I think that though it's especially dangerous with those people, it could still be dangerous for someone who isn't evil. They might use it in non-evil ways for non-evil things but still harm others without intending on doing it.

It can be used to manipulate others. But lucky for me, I'm Celtic. As they said in The Departed, Irish are immune to psychology.
