A Word to the Wise
Social science
Social science, according to Merriam-Webster, is “a branch of science that deals with the institutions and functioning of human society and with the interpersonal relationships of individuals as members of society.”
Or, according to Michael Kinsley, social science is an oxymoron: “Science means hypotheses you can test, and prove or disprove. Social science is little more than observation putting on airs.”
