Correct. An important corollary: A defense of doing a job well, by its own standards, is also a defense of the human beings doing the job. Professional standards are a central terrain of present-day class struggle.

Such a great article. These are behaviors that people may or may not know are problematic (although some people definitely do). And we all need to be aware of them when reviewing for publication and in other venues. And... (1/3) #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Failing to nurture our joy, relational experiences, connectedness, aesthetic appreciation robs us of our ability to APPRECIATE and CARE in all meanings of those words. To change patterns we must notice them. To know our power we must attend to subtle points of leverage, not just react to threat.

To maintain our ability to engage with complexity (and thus address the systems and patterns that rob us of thriving) we must deliberately exercise our ability to attend to and engage with complex positive experiences. It is fundamental caretaking of our best problem-solving skills.

Max Sahin 🧠🤖🐾 @maxsahin.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

It’s about exercising our skills at identifying and leveraging positive things. Under stress, our cognitive bias is toward noticing threats to us. That’s adaptive in a strict ‘don’t die’ sense. Thriving? Nah. Natural selection doesn’t care if we are happy.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

The latter is going to result in struggling students (not necessarily with the work, just overall life load) making themselves small; communicating less, withdrawing engagement in the work….is often seen as confirmation of their fault or badness rather than consequence of leadership choices.

There’s always leakage. People do things for reasons that make sense to them. The drive will be there. & a prof teaching fear is a violation of stewardship. Theres an ethical difference between using shame to stop a peer from cutting a line & a teacher shaming a class for low homework turn-in.

My reading sums up that you can shame people *out* of some antisocial behaviors that aren’t compulsive, but you cannot shame anyone *in* to much at all. Learning/creativity require brain states that are not compatible with shame.

No, it would not be ruined. Excessive friction while wet might cause superficial felting on wool coating, but high heat is required to shrink it to the point of unwearability. If he hung it close to a fire or on a radiator it’s conceivable that could damage it.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Trust in others and institutions predicts subjective well-being and vice versa. This makes me even more attuned to the costs of people and systems that undermine trust. The decay of trust as a public health issue. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/bul0...

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

As a behavioral scientist interested in clothing (I make my own), I think pol sci folks are more concerned with presentation/clothing as communication. The overlap with political culture means all together more time spent outside labs around people who dress up than is typical for us nerds.

The idea of hidden curriculum used this way has unlocked new levels of horror. HC ia fundamentally resonant & relational, not just having/not having info. It includes the processes that endow that information. Relationship can’t be replaced with facts, even if those facts were reliable. They aren’t!

Thus, people assume that men in suits must always be part of the conservative establishment. But this was not always so. The suit was once a working man's garment. When Keir Hardie, founder of the British Labour Party, arrived for his first day in Parliament, he wore a suit.
