Virtually Real

"We each live in our own perceptual universe, no two sensoria are exactly alike, but, because we all live in the same physical universe, we imagine it is a shared whole, its entirety common to us all. But our perceptual worlds are as unique as we each are, each unique perceptual world adding to the creation of the whole of reality."

Really enjoyed reading this article from Oishi and Westgate on “A Psychologically Rich Life”. As a potential third dimension next to Hedonic (Pleasure) and Eudaemonic (Meaning) Wellbeing, they posit the notion that Psychological Richness leads to Wisdom. It allows for a reframing of experiences that don't fit the happy/meaningful box, but do add to increased wisdom in life.

I'm working on a blog post to be more coherent about this...

Please help me find a new instance. I'm super sad about @Gargron 's gullibility and poor ethical choices about meta and need some suggestions. I'd like a decent charachter limit i.e. min 1500. And I really want to be able to know exactly who is running it and exactly what the moderation policy is.

Help me fedizens. You're my only hope.

Do medical professionals who are no longer masking not understand the harm they’re doing?

I was talking to someone yesterday who said they used to mask but stopped because things seemed better and that their doctor doesn’t mask anymore so that must mean COVID isn’t that bad.

Oozenet,
@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@JoBlakely @hannu_ikonen @siobhanwanders I was in a day surgery the other day. All nurses but two wearing masks well. Two kept grabbing the front of their mask, pulling it below their chin then touching their face and other things then putting it back. I asked my nurse why they weren't telling these nurses to not do that, "they really should do better" was all she would say.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disheartened about all the comments I see everywhere from Aussies that are against immigration. 🥲

Oozenet,
@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@Gina The absolute hypocrisy of it is breathtaking. When people mention to me that they don't like it when immigrants come into their communities and try to do things in different ways I always say, yeah, imagine how the indigenous Australians felt when all the Europeans arrived. But somehow that isn't ever considered a valid point.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 Is this more likely even with the same number of vaccinations as men?

I noticed they have a protein based non MRNA Covid-19 vaccine. So, finally all the people who refused to take the MRNA based vaccine, because they claimed they didn't trust it, will also not take this one.

Calling fellow academics:

The book manuscript based on my dissertation has been waiting for review with one of the big UPs for more than a year now. The editor keeps saying that I'll get the reviews "next month", but nothing ever materialises. Is this normal?

I'm considering withdrawing the manuscript altogether, but I am afraid I might just end up in a similar loop at another press.

Any advice?

@academicchatter @sociology @politicalscience @politicaltheory

@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@madsejsing @academicchatter @sociology @politicalscience @politicaltheory At this point you should be asking yourself why you are persevering with publishing this way. What is more important, getting the information published so it can be useful or publishing it through a big UP to get career brownie points.

A bit ironic given this is disseminated over the Internet...

The Internet would be far better if giant corporations didn't control platforms & endlessly surveille & profile & do so very unequally--to me that largely is a capitalism, governance & regulatory failure--power & control of infrastructure.

The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, yes that is a real thing, has been demonstrated to apply even when meatspace names are used. It is not the names but rather the remove from physical consequences that causes the problem.

@Galehawk I just can't take TWH seriously anymore since they wrote a piece about a situation in which I was personally involved and it was a massive misrepresentation of what actually happened. Which is a shame.

@nathanlovestrees@disabled.social avatar

Curious if other parents of a more animist disposition find themselves struggling to both explain phenomena according to natural laws and also encouraging, for lack of a better term, the innate magical thinking of their children? I have no idea how to navigate that.

Oozenet,
@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@nathanlovestrees What is the problem with magical thinking?

Oozenet,
@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@handmade_ghost @nathanlovestrees 100% this. I raised my daughter on "animal people" and "tree people" and "who is this?" when identifying plants or animals. Discouraging the attitude that humans are somehow different or special does a lot of work.

Oozenet,
@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@nathanlovestrees @handmade_ghost You might read him The Sword In The Stone by T.H. White. It is about the education of King Arthur by Merlin. One thing Merlin does is turn Arthur into different animals to see the world through their eyes. Depending on the age of your son, if the book is too much for him yet there is a disney version.

Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?

warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Inskription auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann!

@RichardShaw @srfirehorseart @radlschorsch @academicchatter @edutooters I have also noticed that the great bulk of academics who came here last November are gone.

@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@RichardShaw @srfirehorseart @radlschorsch @academicchatter @edutooters But then the great bulk of academics are busy destroying academia by means of the great publishing scam so I shouldn't be surprised.

@gpollara @RichardShaw @srfirehorseart @radlschorsch @academicchatter @edutooters Honestly if one is smart enough to be an academic the operation of Mastodon should not vex one.

@Oozenet@mastodon.social avatar

@RichardShaw @srfirehorseart @radlschorsch @academicchatter @edutooters 100% agree. We are absolutely at that place where career advancement is more important to most academics than building a robust, ethics based, sustainable academic environment that nourishes students and staff. i.e. we are so fucked. But, don't feel like I am picking on academia, it is a society wide effect.
