Smell is easily the worst sense.

"Oh what's that smell in here?"

Smell: "What? Huh. I was asleep. OH! Okay. Huh..."

"Hey, where's it going, I need to locate it to clean it up"

Smell: "Oop I've already habituated to it, it's gone"

SirTapTap,
@SirTapTap@mastodon.social avatar

Fun fact though in smell's favor: A huge amount of what you consider "taste" or more accurately called "flavor" is not "taste" it's a mix of smell, texture, and taste. Taste is very basic. Smell is very, VERY complex. You're never smelling exactly what someone else is smelling. Or yourself, 5 minutes ago.

: "The fantasy of brainwashing was always one of optimization. Military experts knew that adversaries could be broken with torture, but it took months and was often a violent, messy process. A fast, scientifically informed interrogation method would save time and could potentially be deployed on a mass scale. In 1953, that dream led the CIA to invest millions of dollars in MK-Ultra, a project that injected cash into university and research programs devoted to memory wiping, mind control, and “truth serum” drugs. Worried that their rivals in the Soviet Union and China were controlling people’s minds to spread communism throughout the world, the intelligence community was willing to try almost anything to fight back. No operation was too weird."

The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.

Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.

Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".

Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."

Taka obserwacja kulturowo-socjologiczna: na Fediverse od dawna jest trochę Rosjan “z Rosji” (w sensie, że nie emigrantów), głównie uciekinierów z mainstreamowych rosyjskich sieci społecznościowych typu VK po wprowadzeniu cenzury kilka lat temu. Poza grupą autentycznie szurniętych nacjonalistów (którzy też byli wtedy w Rosji ścigani, stąd ucieczka z VK) z większością z nich do wojny i przez pierwszy rok można było normalnie dyskutować. Mam tu na myśli dyskusję na poziomie jaki mogą prowadzić ludzie mający czasem odmienne poglądy ale potrafiący wysłuchać argumentów drugiej strony i z nimi polemizować lub je przyjąć. Ale w ciągu ostatniego roku dokonała się ciekawa zmiana kulturowa. Jeżeli mogę dokonać kilku uogólnień na podstawie niedawnej (i chyba ostatniej) dyskusji z nimi:

  • W złym tonie jest podawanie… źródeł informacji. W dobrym tonie jest pisanie “swoimi słowami”. To znaczy, jeżeli ktoś napisze “ja wiem, że rakiety S-300 nie mogą trafiać w cele naziemne” to ma to z ich punktu widzenia większą wartość poznawczą niż ”nawet ze źródeł rosyjskich wynika, że mogą - tutaj jest link do TopWar.ru” (popularny portal wojskowy w Rosji). Nie mam pojęcia z czego to wynika, podejrzewam jakiś podprogowy komunikat o tym, że wszystkie linki mogą prowadzić do exploitów i wirusów.
  • Całkowite pogrążenie w oficjalnej rosyjskiej narracji - oni nie wiedzą, że Charków był regularnie ostrzeliwany od lutego 2022 i autentycznie myślą, że rosyjskie ostrzały Charkowa zaczęły się dopiero w odwecie za ukraińskie ostrzały Biełgorodu czyli około grudnia 2023.
  • Całkowita brak zdolności do konfrontacji z informacją nie pasującą do tej oficjalnej narracji. W naszej kulturze, jeżeli ktoś poda informację sprzeczną z naszą wiedzą to zaczyna się kopanie w źródłach - albo ja mam błędne źródło, albo on/ona i na podstawie uznawanych przez obie strony można to ustalić. Rosyjskie “pokolenie wojenne” po prostu kończy dyskusję, nie było tematu.
  • Ciekawe zjawisko “podwójnej moralności” - wobec “swoich” przyznajemy nieco więcej (np. ludobójcze cele Kremla w zakresie “złamania Ukrainy”) niż wobec “obcych” (negowanie tych wypowiedzi i upieranie się, że to tylko “”emocje”). Ale to akurat Rosjanie mieli zawsze, to nie jest nowe zjawisko.
  • Odrzucanie dowolnych relacji świadków czy wręcz materiałów wideo z miejsc wydarzeń na tej podstawie, że “nie było cię tam na miejscu, nie wiesz jak było”. W konsekwencji tuzin bezpośrednich relacji wideo z danego miejsca jest odrzucany jako “niewiarygodny” ale obwieszczenia oficjalnych przedstawicieli władzy jest traktowane przynajmniej jako wyraz oficjalnej wersji.
  • Bezkrytyczne podejście do częstych w rosyjskiej oficjalnej narracji zmian stanowiska o 180°. Fakt, że dzisiaj władza mówi coś całkowicie odwrotnego niż wczoraj nie wywołuje absolutnie żadnych refleksji na temat tego, że władza może w danym przypadku kłamać oraz, że jutro powie coś inne niż dzisiaj. Jest prawda życia, i jest “prawda etapu”.

W większości są to zjawiska dość oczywiste dla każdego kto ma kontakt z Rosjanami “z Rosji”, nowością dla mnie była obsesyjna fiksacja na “swoimi słowami” oraz odrzucanie źródeł. Nie wiem w jaką stronę to idzie ale wygląda na to, że oni sami siebie zagnali w jakąś sekciarską informacyjną czarną dziurę. Długofalowe konsekwencje, przede wszystkim dla rosyjskiego społeczeństwa, będą dramatyczne.

May I add some hashtags in order to solicit views of psychologists and others who deal with human (or animal) cognitive modelling of reality? I would be fascinated to read about the degree to which we're all vulnerable to bias, the highest-yield methods of protecting oneself from bias (especially in social media), and of helping reflect back to others their own views in a way that lets them critique them. I think the last point is especially hard, especially if the other person has no desire for critical thinking (and as humans, we are terrible at critical thinking!).

If there are any textbooks on the subject, ideally written by scientists &/or aimed at scientists, I'd be keen as mustard to know about them!

If anyone has opinions on the work of Han, Lee, Wang, & Baldwin (librai fact checking automation - https://github.com/Libr-AI/OpenFactVerification ) I'd be all ears too.

Please feel free to boost this if you think answers might interest you.

New blog post!

Truth or truthiness? Tracing significance in the digital age.

Much has been said about Trump & other strongmen around the world.

But are they merely riding a phenomenon that already existed? People increasingly preferring to actually taking the time to find out?

Has our change in culture and moving to digital created these showmen, not vice versa?
