Critical thinking is a lost art - prove me wrong. Zero tolerance for gaslighters, hypocrites, & people who take advantage of other people. Toto, I've a feeling we're not in the USA anymore. Graduate degree from a top public school. Always learning.

Dr. Sanderson's focus is on research-based solutions (vs. frat apologists who just blame "the culture", or worse, the victims). Can see research like this being used beyond college environments, e.g. in the workplace. #JusticeForSurvivors #IAmJaneDoe theconversation.com/dozens-of-me...

Dozens of men failed to stop an alleged gang rape at Cornell – here’s the misperception that keeps bystanders from intervening and how to short-circuit it
People may accept bad behavior – even sexual assault – when they overestimate how acceptable their peers think it is. But there are ways to undermine this thinking and make intervention more likely.

I call bs on the premise of this article. The limits are those they place on themselves, by their own sexism, misogyny, and refusal to take seriously and accept full responsibility for systemic campus issues. The author is a "proud member" of a fraternity btw. theconversation.com/cornell-7-ca...

Cornell 7 case puts a spotlight on fraternity misconduct – and the limits of universities’ power to stop it
While universities can suspend and expel students for committing sexual violence and other kinds of illegal misconduct, they face logistical and financial limits to preventing such behavior.

Ugh. 1. Correlation is not causation. 2. Authors (NYT & researchers) barely mention weaknesses in the methodology & other possible causative factors (many). 3. This planet is bursting at the seams. We don't need more people, pollution, and natal-related propaganda. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

OpenAI is tempting federal prison sentences & the corporate death penalty for any more of this invasive horseshit. "An [AI Agent] must not make management decisions because an [AI Agent] is not accountable." No more "Oops, we crimed, tee-hee" from sloppy human management. It's garbage.

Also, what happens when the billionaires and PE firms get involved? Will safety (both in the air and on the ground) and system redundancy considerations be sacrificed on the altar of ROI, development speed, market domination and the "win at any cost" competition among the various investor egos?

Can see how this would be nice to have as backup in case a conventional pilot has a health issue. But your imagination can run wild thinking about points of failure, rogue use cases, and whether the engineers have addressed those possibilities in a meaningful way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVan...

Polling was "invented", likely in the early 1800s, as a way for a publisher to sell more newspapers; not what anyone would call high quality research. Polling methodologies have become more complex but polling quality is still very much hit-or-miss. theconversation.com/no-cheery-ti...

Used to know someone who believed that if he did something good or altruistic, it would balance against the bad things he did. I told him there was no “bank” where he could stash away his good actions to assuage his guilt at knowing he was also a jerk. Maybe call it executive “altruism” instead?

He's their useful idiot, diverting attention to himself, which provides them cover to operate (mostly) in the background. Money is at the core of the problem, influencing Congress, state legislators and the Roberts Court, and used to reward or coerce various entities into compliance or silence.
